When a child sees with his heart

On Monday, one of our boys a 2½ year old was walking across the room towards a little toy sports car, which was put on a small side table at the centre.

When he arrived to the table, he looked at the photograph of Dr. Pető, which was also on the table, he stopped for a moment and gently stroked the picture, ignoring the car. We never talked to him about Pető. One of the conductors said to the little boy ‘that’s Petö, say hello to him’. The young child said ‘Hello Pető’, smiled and then he turned around and continued practising his walking… It was like he knew who this special man was.
