At age nine, Don Bosco had a dream that was deeply engraved in his mind for his whole life. In the dream beside his home, in a landscape quite spacious, where he met many pretty boys played and cursing. Don Bosco tried to stop his insults with hits.

At that time appeared a man very respectable, nobly dressed. His face was so bright that he could not fix on the eyes. He called him by name and said:

"Not with blows but with gentleness and charity must win over these your friends. Put, therefore, now to teach them the happiness of the sin and the beauty of virtue. "

Dazed and frightened, said he was a poor boy and ignorant.

At that time, the boys stopped fighting and swearing in the south and surrounded the speaker. Hardly knowing what he said.

Then Don Bosco said:

Who are you for sending me this impossible?

Precisely because this seems impossible, you make it possible to obedience and the acquisition of science.

How can I acquire the science?

I will give you the Teacher, under whose discipline you can become wise

But who are you?

I am the Son of those, whom your mother accustomed to greet three times a day. My name just asks my mother.

At that moment he saw beside him, a lady of aspect majestic, dressed in a robe that shone like the sun. Seeing at Don Bosco increasingly embarrassed, told him to approach her, taking her hand kindly said:

Look!, And looking, he realized that those boys had escaped, and instead saw a crowd of kids, dogs, cats, bears and various other animals.

In this moment he said:

Here is your field; here is where you will work. Become humble, strong and robust, and what you see happening right now with these animals, you have to do with my children.

He then looked up and, instead of wild animals; appeared many meek lambs appeared that partying the man and lady were jumping and dancing around.

At that time, always in a dream, he began to cry. Asked the lady to speak so that I could understand, it could not understand what I wanted to represent all.
