NAME:
Some time ago, when the world was at war, the most terrible weapons were bombs.
The planes dropped bombs from above, to destroy the cities...
This is the story of Bombaboa, the bomb that had a heart. She had a huge heart but nobody knew it.
One day, Bombaboa was taken by plane to destroy a city. Suddenly she felt like she was falling, falling, falling. Bombaboa then made a great effort and managed to deviate from the target, falling into a haystack on a small farm. As the hay was soft it did not explode; and she was so tired that she fell asleep... and dreamed...
It was a beautiful dream! Bombaboa was surrounded by children who asked her to play.
In that moment she felt that she could give pleasure and joy. But the dream was short-lived… by other hands she was taken. People were different and the intentions weren't good…
Before long, Bombaboa saw that she was over another city. And again he felt he should kill and destroy.
Then, again, he made a great effort to deviate from the target. To no avail: It exploded!
But instead of death and destruction, she covered the sky with flowers, in an explosion of joy.
That day, the townspeople sang and danced, commemorating the flowery miracle.
And a child kept the most beautiful flower!… In the form of love.
