Amistad (by Paulo Coelho) was once a poor man but a lot of courage to be called Ali. He worked for Ammar, an old and wealthy merchant.
One winter's night Ammar said: "No one can spend a night atop the mountain, no blankets and no food. But you need money and if you can do that, you will receive a great reward. If you do not, work for free for thirty days. "
Ali replied: "Tomorrow will fulfill that test."
But out of business was really a cold wind blew and was afraid. Decided to ask his best friend, Aydi, if he did not make that bet crazy.
After reflecting a bit Aydi replied: "I'll help. Tomorrow when you at the top of the mountain overlooking the front. I will be also high on the neighboring mountain, I will spend the whole night with a bonfire for you. Look for the fire, think of our friendship, and that will keep you warm. You're gonna get and then I ask you something in return. "
Ali beat the test, took the money and went to the house of his friend: "You told me you wanted something in return."
Aydi replied: "Yes, but not money. Promise me that if any time the cold wind passes through my life, light the fire for my friendship. "
