God replied, "Among the many angels I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child said, "But tell me here in heaven I don't do anything else but sing and smile. That's what 1 need to be happy." God replied, "Your angel will sing for you  everyday. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."

The child again said, "How am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?" "That's easy," God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak." The child looked up at God and said, "And what am l going to do when I want to talk to you?" God smiled at the child and said, "Your angel will| teach you how to pray."

The child said, "I've heard on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?" God replied, "Your angel will defend you." The child looked sad, saying, "But 1 will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." God replied," Your angel will always talk to you about| me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child in a hurry, asked softly, "Oh God, if 1 am about to leave now please tell me my angel's name." God replied, "Your angel's name is of no importance, you will simply call her MOTHER."

Unseen Passage: 4

On the next level, there are fish, meat, dairy products, beans and lentils. Meat, fish and chicken have protein. Beans and lentils do, too!
Dairy products are things like milk and eggs. They help our teeth and bones. Protein and dairy make us strong.
