Recent, \u00eentr-o vineri seara, tocmai ie\u0219isem de sub du\u0219 c\u00e2nd cineva a sunat discret. A deschis so\u021bia, am auzit fr\u00e2nturi de dialog \u00een u\u0219\u0103 \u0219i, c\u00e2nd am ap\u0103rut \u00een largul meu halat de baie cu glug\u0103, care m\u0103 transforma \u00een c\u0103lug\u0103r capucin, am v\u0103zut un domn \u0219i o doamn\u0103 \u00eenso\u021bi\u021bi de doi adolescen\u021bi care priveau curio\u0219i \u00een jur.<\/p>\n
– V\u0103 rug\u0103m s\u0103 nu v\u0103 sup\u0103ra\u021bi de deranj, a rostit politicos domnul, am venit numai s\u0103 va pred\u0103m o datorie de onoare… Cinci dolari pe care cineva ne-a rugat s\u0103 vi-i achit\u0103m \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
– Mie? am \u00eentrebat curios. De la cine? Dar pofti\u021bi \u00een cas\u0103, lua\u021bi loc, v\u0103 rog..\u00a0 A\u0219a, va s\u0103 zic\u0103, cineva v-a rugat s\u0103…<\/p>\n
– Da, spuse domnul a\u0219ez\u00e2ndu-se pe canapea, concomitent cu restul familiei. Ne plimbam prin Amsterdam, c\u00e2nd cineva ne-a \u00eentrebat: “Nu-i a\u0219a c\u0103 sunte\u021bi israeleni? A\u0219 avea o mare rug\u0103minte. Uite, am r\u0103mas dator cinci dolari cuiva \u0219i, p\u00e2n\u0103 acuma nu s-a ivit prilejul s\u0103-i \u00eenapoiez. Dac\u0103 a\u021bi fi at\u00e2t de dragu\u021bi…” A\u0219a c\u0103 am acceptat, cu toate c\u0103 noi locuim la Afula. Dar cum tot suntem \u00een drum spre Tel Aviv, ne-am g\u00e2ndit c\u0103 un mic ocol…<\/p>\n
– Sunte\u021bi foarte amabili, le-a z\u00e2mbit so\u021bia mea. Ce a\u021bi dori s\u0103 servi\u021bi? O felie de tort, o \u00eenghe\u021bat\u0103..?<\/p>\n
– O, nu v\u0103 deranja\u021bi, a r\u0103spuns doamna. Ori\u0219icum, noi ne-am educat copiii s\u0103 nu man\u00e2nce niciodat\u0103 dulciuri \u00eenainte de cin\u0103.<\/p>\n
– Nici o problem\u0103, am rostit noi, gazdele.<\/p>\n
\u0218i numai \u00een c\u00e2teva minute am \u00eentins o mas\u0103 cu care nu s-ar fi ru\u0219inat nimeni. Am scos din frigider o sticl\u0103 de vin, din congelator ni\u0219te fripturi p\u0103strate pentru zile mari, salate aveam, iar dulciurile, cum bine spusese doamna, le-am servit la urm\u0103, cu cafelele.<\/p>\n
– \u0218i cine spune\u021bi c\u0103 e persoana care v-a rugat s\u0103-mi pl\u0103ti\u021bi datoria?<\/p>\n
-Sa vede\u021bi, z\u00e2mbi st\u00e2njenit musafirul, o s\u0103 v\u0103 spun adevprul: nu re\u021bin cine-i persoana. Noroc c\u0103 am notat adresa dumneavoastr\u0103. C\u0103 altfel m\u0103 f\u0103ceam de ru\u0219ine \u0219i nu \u0219tiam cui s\u0103 predau datoria de onoare. Mi-ar fi ap\u0103sat greu con\u0219tiin\u021ba!<\/p>\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 la acest moment al vizitei \u00eenc\u0103 nu primisem suma respectiv\u0103; dar nici mari emo\u021bii nu-mi f\u0103ceam cu ni\u0219te persoane at\u00e2t de cumsecade. \u00cen zilele noastre, unde mai \u00eent\u00e2lne\u0219ti asemenea oameni cinsti\u021bi precum tipul din Amsterdam, de care nu reu\u0219eam s\u0103-mi amintesc; sau ca familia aceasta, gata s\u0103-\u0219i r\u0103peasc\u0103 din timpul liber \u0219i s\u0103 fac\u0103 un ocol pentru a \u00eendeplini promisiunea f\u0103cut\u0103 unui str\u0103in anonim? Ce oameni cumsecade! Emo\u021bionant p\u00e2n\u0103 la lacrimi.<\/p>\n
De altfel, poate din cauza mesei copioase sau poate din pricina vinului, din soiul acela pe care \u00eel bei f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 sim\u021bi cum te fur\u0103, copiii musafirului au adormit \u00een fotolii, iar domnul \u00eensu\u0219i f\u0103cea eforturi disperate s\u0103-\u0219i ascund\u0103 c\u0103scatul.<\/p>\n
– Filip, spuse atunci so\u021bia lui, \u00een nici un caz nu-\u021bi permit s\u0103 te urci la volan \u00een starea \u00een care te g\u0103se\u0219ti. O s\u0103 cerem voie dumnealor s\u0103 te odihne\u0219ti m\u0103car o jum\u0103tate de or\u0103.<\/p>\n
Noi \u00een\u021belegem aluzia.<\/p>\n
– Nu-i nici o problem\u0103. Oricum s-a f\u0103cut t\u00e2rziu. Copiii no\u0219tri o s\u0103 doarm\u0103 la vecinul Menase, noi o s\u0103 ne str\u00e2ngem ni\u021bel, \u00eendat\u0103 aranj\u0103m paturile. Acum face\u021bi repede un du\u0219. M\u00e2ine diminea\u021b\u0103, dup\u0103 micul dejun, n-ave\u021bi dec\u00e2t s-o porni\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba m\u0103 trezesc mai de\u0219tept dec\u00e2t \u00een ajun. Conversa\u021bia de o noapte cu nevasta s-a dovedit eficient\u0103. \u0218i c\u00e2nd, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, echipa pare gata de plecare, \u00eei spun \u0219efului de trib:<\/p>\n
– Ascult\u0103 amice, am eu pe cineva la Holon c\u0103ruia tare a\u0219 dori s\u0103-i pl\u0103tesc o datorie de cinci dolari. Ce zici, a\u021bi fi dispu\u0219i s\u0103-i vizita\u021bi?<\/p>\n
-F\u0103r\u0103 probleme! Accept\u0103 el imediat. Facem un mic ocol \u0219i te servim cu pl\u0103cere. \u0218i ce s\u0103-i spunem? C\u0103 e din Amsterdam, sau poate s\u0103 fie \u0219i din alt\u0103 parte?<\/p>\n
