Question

Stranger than fiction

When the Old and New Cities of Jerusalem were reunited in 1967, a recently widowed Arab woman, who had been living in Old Jerusalem since 1948, wanted to see once more the house in which she formerly lived. Now that the city was one, she searched for and found her old home. She knocked on the door of the apartment, and a Jewish widow came to the door and greeted her.
The Arab woman explained that she had lived there until 1948 and wanted to look around. She was invited in and offered coffee. The Arab woman said, “When I lived here, I hid some valuables. If they are still here, I will share them with you half and half.”
The Jewish woman refused. “If they belonged to you and are still here, they are yours.” After much discussion back and forth, they entered the bathroom, loosened the floor planks, and found a hoard of gold coins. The Jewish woman said, “I shall ask the government to let you keep them.” She did and permission was granted.
The two widows visited each other again and again, and one day the Arab woman told her new friend, “You know, in the 1948 fighting here, my husband and I were so frightened that we ran away to escape. We grabbed our belongings, took the children, and each fled separately. We had a three-month-old son. I thought my husband had taken 1him, and he thought I had. Imagine our grief when we were reunited in Old Jerusalem to find that neither of us had taken the child.”
The Jewish woman turned pale, and asked the exact date. The Arab woman named the date and the hour, and the Jewish widow told her: “My husband was one of the Israeli troops that entered Jerusalem. He came into this house and found a baby on the floor. He asked if he could keep the house and the baby, too. Permission was granted”.
At that moment, a twenty-year-old Israeli soldier in uniform walked into the room, and the Jewish woman broke down in tears. “This is your son,” she cried.
This is one of those incredible tales we hear. And the aftermath? The two women liked each other so much that the Jewish widow asked the Arab mother: “Look, we are both widows living alone. Our children are grown up. This house has brought you luck. You have found your son… our son. Why don’t we live together?” And they do. SILVERMAN, Hillel E.

Resposta:

Quando as Cidades Velha e Nova de Jerusalém foram reunidas em 1967, uma mulher árabe recentemente viúva, que vivia na Velha Jerusalém desde 1948, queria ver uma vez mais a casa em que anteriormente vivia. Agora que a cidade era uma só, ela procurou e encontrou a sua antiga casa. Ela bateu à porta do apartamento, e uma viúva judia veio à porta e cumprimentou-a. A mulher árabe explicou que tinha vivido lá até 1948 e que queria dar uma vista de olhos.

A mulher judia recusou. Depois de muita discussão para trás e para a frente, entraram na casa de banho, soltaram as tábuas do chão, e encontraram um arsenal de moedas de ouro. « Tivemos um filho de três meses de idade. Eu pensava que o meu marido tinha levado 1him, e ele pensava que eu tinha levado.

Imaginem a nossa dor quando nos reunimos em Jerusalém Velha para descobrir que nenhum de nós tinha levado a criança». A mulher judia ficou pálida, e perguntou a data exacta. « Ele entrou nesta casa e encontrou um bebé no chão. Perguntou se podia ficar com a casa e também com o bebé. »

Naquele momento, um soldado israelita de uniforme de vinte anos entrou na sala, e a mulher judia desfez-se em lágrimas. «Este é o seu filho», gritou ela. « Esta casa trouxe-vos sorte. Encontraste o teu filho... o nosso filho. »
