AFP reports that a beggar saved the life of a baker whose shop's sidewalk was his begging post. Once, "a defective bread oven began leaking lethal carbon monoxide...
When Aucant (beggar) noticed Flamant (baker) staggering around the bakery, he called emergency services." Happier ending, the grateful baker is selling his bakery to the beggar for a symbolic one euro when they both retire in September. Yet another symbolism- this happened in the French town of Dole! Or not.
Mediation is like that. It relies on the goodwill of both sides, in give-and-take, with the hope of future gain.
