another voice: "Here everything is wonderful except the Venetian gossip. The weather is fine and all the animals are fine. Hi, 1/2 Daughter. I feel for you as always. Remember that there is a wonderful shield against lies, more broken than the lining of any tank, and it is the truth..."
A seagull landed on the briccola where our gondola was tied. Flapped its wings to find the right balance. Then he curled up on himself and stood still, as if he were part of the wood.
Go, seagull, I told him. Go to the distant island and tell him that I too "feel for you as always."
Beppi moved to turn on the gondola light. The gondola rocked slightly.
The seagull flapped its wings, looked at me and flew away.
