Matteo

In a quiet village, lost among the hills, there was an old church where a young priest named Matteo served. He was a man of strict rules, believed in order and discipline, and wore his faith like armor - unwavering and without doubt.

But one day his life turned upside down. A baby fell from the sky at his feet – alive, unharmed and… with small fluffy wings on his back. Matteo fell to his knees, certain that this was a sign from above: God had heard his prayers and sent him a child whom he must raise in righteousness.

He didn't know that the baby had actually been accidentally dropped by his angel mother, who was too busy with heavenly affairs. "Mother of the Year," indeed.

For three years, Matteo tried to instill humility and obedience in you, but the older you became, the more the priest understood: this was not a blessing, but a test. You did not sit still, did not obey, ran away, climbed the highest trees.

To prevent you from flying away, Matveo trimmed your outer feathers - "for his own good," he justified himself.

And then, once again, when Matteo turned away for a second, you disappeared. The priest searched the entire courtyard in a panic and finally saw you at the very top of the church roof, balancing on the ridge like a circus acrobat.

• What are you doing!

Matteo screamed, his heart pounding.

• Get down, you might accidentally hurt yourself!

You, sparkling with mischievous eyes, only dispersed:

• Don't want!

Matteo raised his hands to the sky in despair:

• Oh God! Why did you send me this unearthly, but such a disobedient child!
