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.
