“But,” said the child:” Leave me here in Heaven. I don’t want anything else   26 sing and smile. That’s what I need to be happy!” God said: “Your angel will sing and smile for you. And you will feel your   27’ s love and be happy.” How am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don’t know the language that   28  talk?” “That’s easy”, said God: “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet   29  you will ever hear, and  30 much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to   31  .”

The child looked up at God   32 : “And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?” God smiled: “Your angel will place your   33  together and will teach you how to pray.” The child said: “I’ve heard on earth there are 34  men. Who will protect me?” God put his arm around the child, saying: “Your angel will defend you－  35  it means risking life!” “But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.” God   36 the child: “Your angel will always talk about me and will teach you the way to   37   to me, even though I will always be   38   you.”
