Hoy, navegando por la red, encontré su último mensaje... Nunca había leído la versión original de aquellas frases que leí tantas y tantas veces... y que me han hecho recordar tantas y tantas cosas... Algunas de ellas suenan muchísimo mejor en el idioma en que fueron escritas hace ya más de setenta años...
... I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life...
... Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the gloomy one...
... The real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people. Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best...
Pues en eso estamos...

Mi ingles de andar por casa..me permite traducir algún trocito...pero solo eso..
Besitos.
Brother Scouts, I ask you to make a solemn choice. Differences exist between the peoples of the world in thought and sentiment, just as they do in language and physique. The war has taught us that if one nation tries to impose its particular will upon others cruel reaction is bound to follow. The Jamboree has taught us that if we exercise mutual forbearance and give and take, then there is sympathy and harmony. If it be your will, let us go forth from here fully determined that we will develop among ourselves and our boys that comradeship, through the world-wide spirit of the Scout Brotherhood, so that we may help to develop peace and happiness in the world and goodwill among men. Brother Scouts, answer me. Will you join in this endeavour?
Incluso en otro idioma, estas palabras me son muy familiares. Es como si hubiese nacido con ellas dentro del corazón.
"Y en tu pecho brillará la flor de lis.
Y en tu alma buscarás siempre servir.
Tu ilusión estará en las estrellas,
y tu puesto en la noche, junto al fuego..."
¡¡¡Siempre alerta, hermanos!!!
