Hello, welcome to the point of view stories for "Healthy Heart." Same stories, different
points of view, different timeframes, let's start.
Since he was a teenager Zach has loved bright, expensive clothes. In fact, since he
was a teenager he has always worn conspicuous clothes when he was on the street.
He has always been very conspicuous every time he walked on the street, since he
was a teenager and continuing until he was an adult, until very recently.
And since he was a teenager Zach has been totally self-absorbed. Zach has been
completely self-absorbed, he has only thought about himself and his clothes. So,
since he was a teenager he has loved bright, expensive clothes. Since he was a
teenager he has always been conspicuous, noticeable. And since he was a teenager
he has always been self-absorbed, he has only thought about himself and his clothing.
But one day he bought a coat made from gold fibers and he bought the coat at Saks
Fifth Avenue. This coat was worth $72 million, a super expensive coat! Zach loved
the coat. He looked in the mirror and he talked to himself and he said "I'm so
handsome. I'm so wonderful. I'm great!"
However, a few weeks later, he woke up one day and looked in the mirror and he felt
sad. He realized that he had lost touch with his happiness. He had lost touch with his
happiness, he had lost touch with other people and so he felt very sad. He realized
that he was totally alone.
He went outside for a walk and while walking he saw a poor homeless man, a poor,
suffering, hungry, homeless man. Oh, so sad. And Zach was moved by his suffering,
he felt emotional because of the man's suffering. And so Zach said "Here, take my
gold coat and buy a big house."
And the man took his gold coat, he was so happy. He ran to the bank, he sold the
gold coat, he bought a big, big mansion and he ate a lot of food. And Zach also felt
very happy because he helped this man. He connected again with a person, so Zach
was very happy and the homeless man was also very happy.
Okay, that is the end of our first point of view story. As always, in these first stories,
you'll hear a change, usually, and the change is between something that has been
happening a while. It started in the past and it has continued happening for some time
and then we change because something just happened suddenly.
