Jednou se tak toulal lesem a potkal podivnou sta\u0159enku. Ta mu nab\u00eddla nesm\u00edrn\u011b l\u00e1kavou p\u0159\u00edle\u017eitost – mo\u017enost p\u0159esko\u010dit v\u0161echny mrzut\u00e9, nudn\u00e9 chv\u00edle pozemsk\u00e9ho \u017eivota. Podala Petrovi st\u0159\u00edbrnou kouli, ze kter\u00e9 koukala tenou\u010dk\u00e1 zlat\u00e1 nitka. \u201eTohle je nit tv\u00e9ho \u017eivota,“ vysv\u011btlovala mu. \u201eKdy\u017e se j\u00ed nebude\u0161 dot\u00fdkat, tv\u016fj \u017eivot poplyne norm\u00e1ln\u011b. Kdy\u017e bude\u0161 cht\u00edt, aby \u010das b\u011b\u017eel rychleji, jen zat\u00e1hne\u0161 za nitku a hodina uplyne ve vte\u0159in\u011b. Ale varuji t\u011b. Jakmile jednou nitku vyt\u00e1hne\u0161, u\u017e nep\u016fjde zastr\u010dit zp\u00e1tky.“ Ta kouzeln\u00e1 nit zd\u00e1nliv\u011b \u0159e\u0161ila v\u0161echny Petrovy probl\u00e9my. P\u0159esn\u011b tohle si v\u017edycky p\u0159\u00e1l. Vzal si ji tedy a b\u011b\u017eel dom\u016f.<\/p>\n

Druh\u00fd den m\u011bl ve \u0161kole prvn\u00ed p\u0159\u00edle\u017eitost st\u0159\u00edbrnou kouli pou\u017e\u00edt. Hodina se nesnesiteln\u011b vlekla a u\u010ditel Petra napom\u00ednal, \u017ee ned\u00e1v\u00e1 pozor. Petrovy prsty pod lavic\u00ed hledaj\u00ed kouli a opatrn\u011b popotahuj\u00ed nit. U\u010ditel rychle ukon\u010dil vyu\u010dov\u00e1n\u00ed a Petr mohl j\u00edt dom\u016f. Byl nad\u0161en\u00fd! Jak lehk\u00fd \u017eivot te\u010f bude m\u00edt! A od t\u00e9 chv\u00edle Petr ka\u017ed\u00fd den nitku tro\u0161ku popot\u00e1hl.<\/p>\n
Brzy ale za\u010dal kouzelnou nit pou\u017e\u00edvat k tomu, aby prol\u00e9tl i del\u0161\u00ed \u00faseky \u017eivota. Pro\u010d ma\u0159it \u010das t\u00edm, \u017ee ka\u017ed\u00fd den popot\u00e1hne nitku jen o kousek, kdy\u017e za ni m\u016f\u017ee zat\u00e1hnout po\u0159\u00e1dn\u011b a \u0161kolu rychle dod\u011blat? Ud\u011blal to tedy a ocitl se v u\u010den\u00ed. Stejn\u00fdm zp\u016fsobem pak prolet\u011bl i obdob\u00ed zasnouben\u00ed se svou milou. Nevydr\u017eel \u010dekat cel\u00e9 m\u011bs\u00edce, a tak se popot\u00e1hnut\u00edm nitky p\u0159enesl rovnou do svatebn\u00edho dne.<\/p>\n
A stejn\u011b tak to v \u017eivot\u011b d\u011blal d\u00e1l. Kdy\u017e p\u0159i\u0161ly t\u011b\u017ekosti, unikl jim pomoc\u00ed kouzeln\u00e9 nit\u011b. Kdy\u017e v noci pl\u00e1\u010de d\u00edt\u011b, kdy\u017e nev\u00ed, jak vyj\u00edt s pen\u011bzi, kdy\u017e si p\u0159eje, aby jejich d\u011bti u\u017e byly sob\u011bsta\u010dn\u00e9 a nez\u00e1visl\u00e9, v\u017edycky popot\u00e1hne za nit a v\u0161echny nep\u0159\u00edjemn\u00e9 chv\u00edle jen prolet\u00ed.<\/p>\n
Kdy\u017e se dostal na konec \u017eivota, s hr\u016fzou si uv\u011bdomil, jak pr\u00e1zdn\u00fd byl. Okradl se o ty nejbohat\u0161\u00ed okam\u017eiky a vzpom\u00ednky, proto\u017ee dovolil, aby ho ovl\u00e1dala netrp\u011blivost a nespokojenost. Kdy\u017e u\u017e se mohl t\u011b\u0161it jen na smrt, hluboce litoval, \u017ee v\u016fbec kdy kouzelnou nit pou\u017eil.<\/p>\n
