Ringraziò la signora e le mangiò subito. La signora tornò una terza volta, e poi una quarta. Ormai lui ne aveva abbastanza. Quando la signora tornò con un’altra manciata di arachidi, lui rifiutò, spiegandole che era pieno. “Lei è molto gentile per avermi portato uno snack, grazie signora” disse. “Si figuri” disse la s...
