When he was 40, the renowned Bohemian novelist and short story writer Franz
Kafka (1883–1924), who never married and had no children, was strolling through
Steglitz Park in Berlin, when he chanced upon a young girl crying her eyes out
because she had lost her favorite doll. She and Kafka looked for the doll
without success. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would
look again.
The next day, when they still had not found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a
letter "written" by the doll that said, “Please do not cry. I have gone on a
trip to see the world. I'm going to write to you about my adventures."
Thus began a story that continued to the end of Kafka’s life.
When they would meet, Kafka read aloud his carefully composed letters of
adventures and conversations about the beloved doll, which the girl found
enchanting. Finally, Kafka read her a letter of the story that brought the doll
back to Berlin, and he then gave her a doll he had purchased. “This does not
look at all like my doll," she said. Kafka handed her another letter that
explained, “My trips, they have changed me." The girl hugged the new doll and
took it home with her.A year later, Kafka died.
Many years later, the now grown-up girl found a letter tucked into an unnoticed
crevice in the doll. The tiny letter, signed by Kafka, said, “Everything you
love is very likely to be lost, but in the end, love will return in a different
way."
