The beginning

Some stories begin with a dream, in this case Don Bosco's dream. He was a boy of no more than nine years old in the middle of a crowd of young people who behaved aggressively, saying bad words. He decides to stand in their midst to dissuade them by hitting them with his fists.

But before he could continue with the blows, a character appeared who said to him: "Not with fists, but with kindness you will defeat these boys" 

This boy is only nine years old. Who could be asking him to do something impossible? he answered: "I
am the Son of She whom your mother taught you to greet three times a day. My Name ask my Mother". 

Suddenly a Woman of majestic presence appeared. The boy was confused. He took him to her and held her hand. She realized that all the children had disappeared and instead he saw all kinds of animals: dogs, cats, bears, wolves... She said to him: "Make yourself humble, strong and robust... and what you see happening to these animals, you will have to do with my children". 

He looked around him and saw that the wild animals had become meek lambs... This poor boy did not understand anything... So ask the Lady what is happening, please explain to me... She said, "In time you will understand everything".
