there lived a good man who had two sons.
One was in the military, and had been sent to the most distant regions of the empire.
The other son was a poet, and delighted all of Rome with his beautiful verses.
One night, the father had a dream. An angel appeared to him,
and told him that the words of one of his sons would be learned and repeated throughout the world
for all generations to come. The father woke from his dream grateful and crying,
because life was generous, and had revealed to him something any father would be proud to know.
“Shortly thereafter, the father died as he tried to save a child who was about to be crushed by the wheels of a chariot.
Since he had lived his entire life in a manner that was correct and fair,
he went directly to heaven, where he met the angel that had appeared in his dream.
“‘You were always a good man,’ the angel said to him.
You lived your life in a loving way, and died with dignity. I can now grant you any wish you desire.’
