Ainda que sua prima Foxy não interviesse naquela situação embaraçosa, mesmo
assim ela teria insistido em continuar a viagem. Ela achava que tinha o direito
de prosseguir mesmo sem os vinte e cinco centavos para completar o dinheiro da
passagem.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Eu não estou mendigando para viajar
de graça,” vociferou a raposa Vulpy, com o olhar colérico e com as mãos na
cintura, pronta para dar umas boas cotoveladas em quem quer que se atrevesse a
impedir sua entrada. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Eu disse que amanhã eu pago esta
droga de vinte e cinco centavos. Eu tenho o direito de viajar, pois pago impostos
e essa tarifa é uma afronta. Ninguém tem o direito de me impedir.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Calma, Vulpy, calma,” tranquilizou a
prima Foxy, abrindo a mão e apressando-se para separar algumas moedinhas que
havia retirado de um porta-níquel.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Foxy havia estranhado a celeuma na entrada do ônibus e não hesitou em
correr para socorrer a prima aflita.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Vulpy não se sentia envergonhada por não ter uma moedinha de vinte e
cinco centavos; ela achava que não deveria sentir-se diminuída, pois todos
deveriam ter acesso a um transporte decente, limpo e rápido para trabalhar. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Não fique nervosa, Vulpy, tome os vinte e cinco centavos e vamos sentar
no nosso banco, como de costume. Vamos logo, eu deixei minha mochila no banco de
sempre para guardar o nosso lugar.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Vulpy respirou fundo e tentou se recompor. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“O outro cobrador sempre me deixava pagar no outro dia, Foxy, às vezes
ele até deixava eu descer pela porta da frente sem pagar, e teve uma vez que até
pagou do bolso dele, quando havia um fiscal por perto.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Mas, Vulpy, como você tem passado depois do lance das uvas, você parece
estar mais magra e suas olheiras estão maiores ainda do que da última vez. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Nem me faça lembrar, Foxy, parece que tudo degringolou de vez.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“E como estão todos, e seus irmãozinhos e a tia?” indagou Foxy, franzindo
os lábios, como era seu costume. “E como você está indo na faculdade. E seu
emprego?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Uma coisa por vez, Foxy, mas eu mudei minha vida depois que entreguei
aquele pacote,” respondeu Vulpy, sentindo-se vitoriosa e aprumando-se no banco.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Pacote, mas que pacote?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Espera, espera, você está fazendo muitas perguntas de uma vez,”
protestou, Vulpy, respirando fundo e tentado se recompor, “vou começar do
começo.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Então me conta como você está indo na faculdade,” insistiu Foxy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Eu tive de parar depois que fui dispensada do meu trabalho, Foxy. Além
disso, eu tentei de novo conseguir um financiamento, mas o site do governo
estava lento demais. Eu insisti muito, mas a operadora interrompeu minha
franquia bem na hora que eu ia enviar os dados,. e dai ferrou tudo. Eu só tenho
uma opção de internet; além disso, o sinal oscila muito porque não tem uma
antena de celular muito perto.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Mas Vulpy, então agora você está sem trabalhar e estudar?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Então, Foxy, meu patrão teve de fechar as portas da loja de tecidos —
ele não aguentou a carga dos impostos e o movimento caiu — &amp;nbsp;então ele teve de despedir todos os funcionários.
Não só ele, Foxy, mas mais da metade das lojas daquela rua fechou as portas. Mesmo
assim, eu estou me virando, fazendo biscates e cortando cabelos da vizinhança.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

tia?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Espera, Foxy, deixa eu tentar organizar meus pensamentos; quero te
contar tudo antes de o ônibus chegar no seu ponto.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“É melhor, Foxy, respire um pouco e organize suas ideias. Você tem a
tendência de encher linguiça e fazer suspense,” asseverou Foxy, com ar de riso.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Agora eu estou aprendendo a ser mais sucinta; agora eu consigo seguir
uma linha de pensamento lógica depois que eu entrei para a política. Estou
aprendendo a fazer discursos,” orgulhou-se Vulpy, levantando a cabeça e coçando
o queixo, com certo ar de jactância. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Não me diga, você agora está na política?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“É, Foxy, quer dizer, eu comecei como cabo eleitoral do macaco Chitão.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Mas você é de um partido de esquerda ou de direita?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“De esquerda, mas o segundo partido mais importante é de direita.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Eu não entendo isso, Vulpy, como pode um partido de esquerda ter um
partido de direita na mesma chapa?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Ah, eu não sei explicar isso, é que é colisão, daí pode.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“E a chapa da oposição, de que linha é?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Lá é o contrário: eles são de direita, mas estão coligados com um
partido de esquerda.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Foxy coçou as orelhas e franziu os lábios, tentando entender, mas
desistiu depois de alguns breves segundos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“E o que você tem de fazer?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Tinha, Foxy, agora acho que não vão mais me querer por lá, mas quando
eu estava na militância, eu tinha de organizar comícios, distribuir pão com
mortadela e tubaína”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“E por que não vão querer mais você por lá?”, indagou Foxy, inclinando
um pouco a cabeça para o lado e novamente franzindo os lábios.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Por causa do lance do pacote, né?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Ai, meu Deus, mas que diabo de pacote era esse?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Espera, eu já te explico. Uma vez eu cheguei e a casa e estava uma
bagunça. Minha mãe estava sentada na cadeira de rodas, cabisbaixa, girando um
polegar em torno do outro. A Licinha estava com um olhar tão triste! O
Joãozinho tinha feito xixi na cama, porque o banheiro é externo e ele ficou com
medo de sair à noite no quintal e pisar na água do esgoto de novo. A pia estava
cheia de louças pra lavar. O Paulinho não tinha levado o lixo para a rua de
cima, porque o caminhão de lixo não passa na nossa. A Chiquinha estava com as
fraudas toda suja, e o Juninho estava chorando de fome. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Foxy abaixou a cabeça e desta vez mordeu os lábios em vez de o franzir.
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Eu fiquei com raiva por causa de toda aquela bagunça, mas achei que
deveria perguntar a cada um o que estava acontecendo. Comecei com a Licinha.
Estava com raiva dela, pois ela deveria organizar as coisas na minha ausência.
Depois fiquei morrendo de dó, tadinha!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Por que, Vulpy?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Porque ela me disse que achava que estava com alguma hemorragia,
Foxy”. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Que horror, Vulpy!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Mas não era nada de grave; é que ela ficou mocinha e eu tive de
explicar essas coisas de raposa pra ela. Eu só me senti culpada por não ter
explicado esses lances pra ela antes,” comentou, Vulpy com ar distante e olhos
parados.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Depois quis saber da mamãe. Ele ficou meio pensativa. Não queria me
deixar mais preocupada, mas disse que transferiram o Paulinho para uma escola
mais longe, pois iam reestruturar a rede de ensino: agora é mais uma despesa de
ônibus. A mamãe estava triste porque o projeto da nova creche não saiu, e a
Chiquinha ia ficar sem creche. A mamãe também estava preocupada com os mosquitos
da dengue, pois ficou sabendo que o bebezinho da sobrinha dela pegou zika e
nasceu com microcefalia. Ela estava sem os remédios para a pressão alta, porque
o posto de saúde estava fechado e não tinha mais remédios. Também estava triste
por não ter legumes para levar para a merenda da escola.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Como assim, Vulpy?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“É que a diretora da escola pediu que cada aluno contribuísse com algum
legume para a sopa, pois a merenda não estava sendo suficiente para todos os
alunos.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Entendi, mas continue...”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Então, dai perguntei pro Juninho por que ele estava chorando. Ai,
Foxy, me cortou o coração. A tristeza que eu senti tomou lugar da raiva!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Que aconteceu?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“O Juninho estava chorando de soluçar. Perguntei o que ele tinha. Ele
me disse que estava com fome e queria muito experimentar uma pizza. Ele disse
que nunca tinha comido um pedacinho de pizza em toda sua vida e queria tanto
experimentar. E disse que queria um ovo de páscoa também e refrigerante.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Foxy ouvia tudo atentamente, mas não se senta encorajada a falar nada.
Não sabia o que dizer e limpou os olhos lacrimejantes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Eu não sabia o que fazer. Então me lembrei de um pacote de pão de
forma velho, de umas fatias de mortadela que havia sobrado do comício e tive
uma ideia: resolvi juntar tudo que tinha. Havia alguns tomates passados, um
pouco de orégano e óleo. Então eu coloquei tudo numa forma. Coloquei as fatias
de mortadela por cima, um pouco de óleo e salpiquei com orégano. &amp;nbsp;Aí&amp;nbsp; me
lembrei da caixa de uvas que tinha ganhado e de umas barras de chocolate que
meu namorado tinha me dado. Eu derreti o chocolate e despejei nas uvas. Ficou
tudo redondinho e parecia um montão de ovinhos. O Juninho olhava tudo com
aqueles olhinhos vermelhos. Parecia uma pizza de verdade e ovos de chocolate
pequenos. Já estava escurecendo e quando tentei acender a luz, o Paulinho disse
que tinham cortado e energia por falta de pagamento.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Deve ter sido uma noite tumultuada, Vulpy.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Nem me diga. Eu tive de me controlar pra vencer a minha raiva. Eu
estava chateada porque não consegui sair com meu namorado. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“E por que você não pôde sair?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Porque minhas roupas estavam meio molhadas. Não deu tempo de secá-las
direito no varal e ficaram bem úmidas. Fiquei com vergonha de sair com aquelas
roupas molhadas e mal cheirosas. O caminhão de água não passou durante a semana
e por causa do racionamento e eu tive de reservar água para o banho das crianças
e para a comida.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Foxy, continuou ainda pensativa e encorajou a prima Vulpy a prosseguir:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Mas o que tinha no pacote, que estória é essa?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Já te conto, deixa eu terminar com o assunto da pizza. Bom, como não
tinha energia, eu pedi pro Paulinho acender um toco de vela e colocar uma tábua
no vão do barraco pra não entrar vento. Ficou faltando o refrigerante. Então eu
tive a ideia de colher alguns limões do barranco do quintal e fazer uma limonada.
Eu coloquei dentro de uma garrafa de tubaína e joguei um pouquinho de
bicarbonato.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Por que isso, Vulpy?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Pra formar um pouco de bolhas e o Juninho pensar que era
refrigerante.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Nossa, você é mesmo uma raposa muito matreira!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Não é isso, Foxy, eu não sou espertalhona, quer dizer, eu tenho de ser
assim pra sobreviver, né? Quando a gente sente fome a gente faz de tudo...”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Eu entendo, Foxy, eu só estava brincando. Foi mal...”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Bom, todo mundo comeu. Rimos bastante e quando eu olhei pro lado, o Juninho
tinha dormido na cadeira. O rostinho dele estava plácido e sereno. Ele dormiu
de barriguinha cheia e com o rosto tranquilo, achando que tinha comido pizza de
verdade, ovos de páscoa e refrigerante. Dai eu o coloquei na caminha dele, o
cobri bem. Dei um beijinho no focinho dele e disse bem baixinho: Meu anjo,
algum dia eu compro uma pizza de verdade só pra você, eu prometo!’”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Você deveria ter me avisado que estava passando por necessidades,
Vulpy, você sabe, eu também sou uma raposa pobre, mas a gente sempre dá um
jeito.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Vulpy abaixou a cabeça e não quis demonstrar que estava se sentindo,
fragilizada com a situação. Ela sempre preferia lutar e ser criativa para
enfrentar as situações adversas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Mas, e o lance do pacote, Vulpy?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Bom, naquela noite eu fui dormir muito pensativa. Fiquei me lembrando
daquelas palavras do David Luiz depois do jogo da copa de novo e não conseguia
dormir. Fiquei pensando como o macaco Chitão era falso. Ele não cumpriu nada do
que havia prometido nas eleições. Nada de escolas, creches, esgoto, água, posto
de saúde, asfalto, eletricidade, moradia e segurança... Daí comecei a ver como
ele havia mentido e enganado tanta gente com aquele palavrório todo, aquelas
micagens, aquelas caretas e piruetas, aquelas cambalhotas...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Mas você não tinha votado nele, Vulpy?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Só na primeira eleição, mas depois fiquei com raiva de ter votado nele.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“E como você continuou trabalhando na campanha dele?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Porque eu acreditava nas ideias de justiça social, igualdade,
oportunidade para todos e via que as pessoas eram sinceras. O Chitão até me
ofereceu um cargo de assessora.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Sua espertalhona, aposto que era por causa das promessas dele...”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Ah, Foxy, eu fiquei cansada de ver tanta gente cega. A bicharada toda
parecia estar enfeitiçada, hipnotizada. O Chitão prometeu mundos e fundos pra
todos os bichos. Disse que não ia faltar milho para as galinhas, banana para os
macacos, cenoura para os coelhos e até capim para os jumentos. Aqueles bichos
eram muito ingênuos, Foxy. Até aquela cegonha cretina e vingativa estava lá,
toda metida, exaltando as “qualidades” do Chitão. Quando ele falava, a
bicharada toda delirava.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“E o que você tinha de fazer como assessora do Chitão, Vulpy?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Bom, além de eu organizar os comícios, eu tinha de resumir as notícias
e fazer relatórios. Eu aceitei esse cargo, porque era a única maneira de eu
ficar de olho naquele macaco cínico. Foi aí que eu fiquei muito desconfiada do
pacote e bolei um plano.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Mas o que tinha nesse, pacote, raposa de Deus? Fala logo!”
impacientou-se Foxy, novamente franzindo os lábios e colocando as mãos no
peito.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Então, Foxy, era um pacote pardo, com o papel mole, dava pra sentir um
pouco o que tinha dentro; tateando dava para perceber que tinha alguns clipes
de papel... Eu achei que tinha algo muito estranho nesse pacote, porque o
pessoal do partido pediu pra eu o levar diretamente para o Chitão o mais rápido
possível e não deixar cair nas mãos de ninguém absolutamente, principalmente do
pessoal da imprensa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Será que eram dólares?” indagou Foxy?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“No começo eu achei que era dinheiro ou drogas, sei lá, mas não era
nada disso, era muito pior, muito pior, Foxy,” respondeu, colocando uma das
mãos na cintura e balançando a ponta das patinhas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Tá, Vulpy, mas o que aconteceu, conta logo, que já está chegando a
hora de eu descer.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Bom, é claro que eu percebi que não era coisa certa. Então eu peguei
aquele pacote e fui levar no jantar comemorativo pela vitória da reeleição do Chitão.
Dai eu bolei um plano. O Chitão estava num salão cheio. Todos estavam
comemorando, e o pessoal da imprensa estava cobrindo tudo. O Chitão estava numa
mesa no mezanino. Ao lado dele tinha uma fileira de balaústres de madeira.
Então eu cheguei perto dele, dizendo bem alto: ‘Senhor, senhor, tem uma
encomenda aqui, disseram que era só para o senhor abrir, que isso pertence somente
ao senhor e que ninguém mais pode mexer.’”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“E dai, e daí, que ele disse?”, impacientou-se Foxy, com os olhos
arregalados e os lábios franzidos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Dai ele fez uma coisa que jamais deveria ter feito, Vulpy, jamais,
jamais!” enfatizou Vulpy com os olhos vermelhos de raiva.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Que ele fez, que foi?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Foxy, ele disse: ‘Cala a boca e fale baixo, sua cadela!’”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Ele te xingou disso, meu Deus! Eu não queria estar por perto”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Você sabe como eu fico indignada quando alguém me confunde com uma
cadela, Foxy. Você sabe como isso me enlouquece. Eu não sou uma cadela, eu sou
uma raposa, raposa...”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“E daí, que você fez?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Quando ele disse isso, o sangue
subiu pela cabeça. Eu senti as veias do pescoço incharem e meu coração disparou.
Então eu fiquei ensandecida e pensei rápido. Foi aí que eu estendi o pacote
para ele pegar. Quando ele estava segurando o pacote, eu fingi que escorreguei.
O pacote se rompeu. Dentro, havia um montão de papeis, envelopes e notas
fiscais. Aquilo&amp;nbsp; tudo voou pelo salão. O
pessoa da imprensa começou a pegar tudo.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “E o que havia nesses papéis, Vulpy?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Era relacionado com o lance da
carne.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Que lance da carne, menina? Fala
logo que eu já vou descer,” insistiu&amp;nbsp;
Foxy, levantando a cabeça e olhando para fora do ônibus.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;“É que o Chitão tinha usado um frigorífico pra
lavar dinheiro e financiar a campanha dele com verba ilícita.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “E o que aconteceu depois?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“O Chitão ficou apavorado, sem saber oque fazer; tentou recolher os papéis
caídos, mas eram muitos. Então eu olhei bem pra cara dele e disse ‘Você finge
ser nosso líder, mas sequer consegue cuidar de si mesmo!’ Enfim, Foxy. Agora
estão falando em inpeachement e em outras eleições.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“E o que você vai fazer agora, Foxy?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Agora eu estou pensando que não vale a pena perder amizades por causa
de posições políticas. Cada pessoa tem o direito de ter a posição política que quiser.
As pessoas são sinceras. Enquanto os políticos ficam fazendo conchavos e tramoias
e se dão bem, a gente fica brigando e perdendo amizades. Eu acho que a gente
deve combater a corrupção em todos os partidos e em todo lugar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“É, faz sentido, Foxy. Eu concordo com você. Mas você desistiu da
política?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Não, mas agora eu estou em outro partido.&amp;nbsp; Lá é muito legal”, Foxy, eles dão coxinha pra
gente,” disse com um sorrisinho mefistofélico.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Bem, Vulpy. Preciso descer. Meu ponto já chegou. Mas onde você está
indo com este outro pacote?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Vou comer umas coxinhas na sede do partido novo e levar este outro pacote
pra eles.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

dark room with grimy walls and plaster boards detaching from the cement
pillars, gave off a characteristic odor of mold and mildew. The continuous smoke of burning tobacco amid hundreds of cigarette butts permeated the entire environment, tunirng the thick air into an acid and suffocating atmosphere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;The fug of smoke and burned tobacco could even hurt the

cardboard plate, lying on the cold ground and covered with some musty and
threadbare pillows, served both as a bed and a sofa. It was there that Ranny
slept, ate and worked.&amp;nbsp;It was there where he spent most of his time laid
back, reading a book, science fiction preference, but also quantum physics,
string theory, parallel universes, standard model, subatomic particles,
near-death experiences, out of body experiences, vampires, goblins, elves,
modern superheroes, manga, anime and particle accelerators. Ranny, however,
felt extremely frustrated for not knowing enough math, especially the
equations, without which he could not work on his new project and perfect
himself on the C ++.language&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Ranny did not feel totally satisfied with his projects, except for the success
he had been achieving in memorizing so many alphabets as he could. He had
memorized the Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, Cyrillic alphabets, not to mention
thousands of Chinese ideograms, cuneiform characters, Egyptian and Maya
hieroglyphs.&amp;nbsp;In principle, he did not find much use in learning these
writing systems, but over time he realized that this knowledge could help him tolearn these languages ​​and was confident that this intellectual exercise
certainly was already helping him as he progressed in his algorithm to develop
a both intergalactic and interdimensional search engine.&amp;nbsp;So far, the
preliminary results and customized filters were in his favor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

was a hyperpolyglot and could communicate with several friends around the
world via Web. That is what he enjoyed doing in the hours he was not working as
an online trier of games and video games. He just did not like to wait for the
answers of his virtual counterparts.&amp;nbsp;He felt extremely awkward to let
people waiting for several minutes for the answers.&amp;nbsp;He thought they should
turn to red, or rather; they should leave their nicknames in red, if they
were not willing to chat. Let them stay red, signaling they were busy, or
yellow, if they were absent.&amp;nbsp;He just hated it and decided to delete all
his virtual friends who did not follow such basic rule of chat etiquette.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

dream was to buy a virtual reality glasses and be able to test the 3D gaming
environment, but he would have to save many bitcoins from the websites that
offered small tasks in order to get one.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

felt hungry; he needed to eat something before leaving, because he had already
planned a tour to the store of &amp;nbsp;electronic gadgets several weeks in
advance.&amp;nbsp;He had been planning it meticulously: which streets should he take;
which corners should he avoid; in which dark alley should he hide himself in
case he was observed by some person; what should be the best escape route in
this case, and even which clothes should he wear. Weeks of planning.&amp;nbsp;Nothing
should go wrong: he could not be seen by anyone at all.&amp;nbsp;So he set aside a
black overcoat; a striped suspender; a t-shirt, also black, with no pattern
that could draw attention to it; a pair of boots, similar to that of the
cowboys and long shorts, enough to cover his slender legs right below his
knees, but showing his shins.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

somewhat stooped, perhaps by years of activity at the computer and already with
a little protruding abdomen, but his legs were still strong.&amp;nbsp; He was not a
lover of hiking, but as a child he liked to practice jumps. He even won a medal
for the first place in high jumps at school and another medal for the second
place in long jumps.&amp;nbsp;It is true that he cared about his health, so he
decided to cut some pizzas and burgers and to keep on practicing jumps, even
indoors.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

to be twenty-two years old,&amp;nbsp; he thought
he should start caring for himself; so he decided to cut some carbs and eat
more protein and keep practicing jumps - quit smoking and drinking coffee, chips
and snacks would come later.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

house, or rather the den where he lived, worked and ate, was full of wirers, so
that one of the tasks that preoccupied his attention the most was to carefully
separate the web of wires of that true tangle of cables, tips, plugs, sockets,
extensions.&amp;nbsp;He did not understand this mystery, that is, as he got up to
answer the phone or go to the bathroom, when he returned the wires were already
full of knots and loops &amp;nbsp;̶ &amp;nbsp;completely entangled. Sometimes he even imagined that
the wires and cables had own life and tangled purposely just to let his boring
life even more difficult.&amp;nbsp;There were dozens of them: wires of the
batteries, of mice, of keyboards, of earphones, of video games, amid so many
other cables and adapters of several types.&amp;nbsp;If he did not arrange them in
the most perfect order, it would be impossible to identify correctly which
device such cable or wire belonged to.&amp;nbsp;So, sorting out and separating each
end with its respective equipment was a tedious but necessary task.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

did not want to go through the inconvenience of having to go out to buy a new
cable or wire to replace some one that could have been ruptured by any
unexpected twist.&amp;nbsp;A broken wire implied a new foray into the streets, and
Ranny employed every effort to never ever have to leave home. But this time it
was inevitable: a full soda glass had fallen across the keyboard and just did
not damage the internal components of his notebook thanks to the precise jump
he made, holding it precisely before all that liquid spilled all over and made
an even bigger mess. But there was no way out: the solution was buying at least
one external keyboard to continue his work.&amp;nbsp;Besides that, it was already
in his plans to buy also a laser pointer.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

eager to reproduce the double slit experiment and needed a laser
emitter.&amp;nbsp;He could not understand why on earth the waives did not collapse
when someone was observing the experiment in the videos he had seen.&amp;nbsp;It
should not be this way: if there were somebody observing, the standards should
be of particles and not of waves.&amp;nbsp;That intrigued him and he would be
thoughtful for hours.&amp;nbsp;He needed to understand this process because he had
managed to intercept several words in his search engine.&amp;nbsp;He knew that his
algorithm was working, since the results were within a logical pattern and
followed a binary code.&amp;nbsp;All he had to do was assigning a sound for each
symbol that was being formed, and he was close to unravel that.&amp;nbsp;The
program he had developed to try to assign phonemes, vowels and consonants to
binary codes worked a few times, and he had noted patterns that indicated a
logical sequence of a language, but he was intrigued because, like in the
double slit experiment, he could only get a message when he was observing the
experiment, and it never occurred while his program was running by itself.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

time to leave; the store would be closed, but Lepo promised to be there to keep
the boxes of electronic products on the counters, even after the working
hours.&amp;nbsp;All Ranny had to do was knocking at the door and identifying himself.&amp;nbsp;Lepo
had given his word that he would be inside the store to arrange the goods.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Ranny needed to eat something.&amp;nbsp;He was hungry.&amp;nbsp;He needed to eat
something and urinate.&amp;nbsp;Ranny never left home if he did not do
that.&amp;nbsp;He went to the toilet and made sure he had urinated
completely.&amp;nbsp;He could not help expelling even a drop of urine - he just
could not.&amp;nbsp;First, because he did not want to endure the embarrassment to
urinate on his pants if he went through some kind of threatening situation;
second, because he did not want to infect anyone with his urine.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

was not any slice of pizza left over at all.&amp;nbsp;There was no package of
crisps and snacks either.&amp;nbsp;This problem was not so important, since he
could order those stuffs through the smartphone or the Internet without having
to leave, but he needed to eat something.&amp;nbsp;Ranny stepped back, put on his
ninja hood and his sunglasses and almost fell down when he stumbled on the RPG
board. He regained his balance, stared at the wall and jumped abruptly, however
precisely, and turned back, rubbing his stomach with an air of satisfaction and
with his maw half open, still swallowing half a cricket, whose shrill wings
stopped quivering and waned until the whole bug was totally swallowed and Ranny
not even chew it.&amp;nbsp;It was his lucky day, because with two or three jumps,
he managed to capture an inattentive moth and a juicy brown cockroach with his
huge distended tongue.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

feeling almost ready to leave, and then he walked to the door, put his hand on
the rustic wooden bar of a strong, well-equipped and firm latch, and yanked it
several times.&amp;nbsp;He would put his hand on the well-locked door latch, force
it and return to the starting position again.&amp;nbsp;The door did not break open
until he remembered of an extra shim he had firmly tucked under it &amp;nbsp;̶ &amp;nbsp;but a
force seemed to push him back. He tried several times, crisscrossed his fingers
in front of his lips, took a deep breath for several seconds and rehearsed a
new departure, but turned back to the computer: he had this idea of trying to
leave the program running once more while he was gone. He glared his eyes on
the screen and typed in a search field: &quot;message to mankind.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

was an accomplished typist, and the answer came almost at the same speed with
which he was able type, but in a helical pattern resembling a DNA strand,
although with binary sequence pairs only. Ranny felt a chill going through his
spine.&amp;nbsp;It seemed to be a clear message this time.&amp;nbsp;Now he just needed
to enter the codes in his program and wait for the conversion.&amp;nbsp;Suddenly,
thousands of zeros and ones began to frantically dance on the screen, until
finally a sequence of what seemed to be a pair of words was forming.&amp;nbsp;It
did not take a long time for Ranny to understand that it was a language.&amp;nbsp;
He just had to enter the result in a phoneme library, and the outcome finally
appeared before his watchful eyes: ME PHOBEISTHE.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

mixture of curiosity and satisfaction almost made him forget that it was time
to leave and he could no longer delay his egress, but his thoughts were almost
all dedicated to the meaning of &amp;nbsp;those
terms that had just appeared on the screen of his computer.&amp;nbsp;Ranny wanted
to light a cigarette &amp;nbsp;̶ &amp;nbsp;he always did that as a celebration rite
whenever he felt he had made some achievement, such as beating an opponent in a
game or RPG or finishing any major program, like writing a book or a website
review&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-indent: 47.2px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;̶&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-indent: 47.2px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;but there was no more cigarettes. He rummaged through the pockets of
various clothes and tried to find a cigarette lost somewhere, but all he could
find was a rather moldy and wrinkled butt, however he did not hesitate to light
it and took advantage to deeply inhale some smoke that cigarette piece could
still produce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;He was
eager to continue his research; all he had to do was entering the terms in a
common search engine and assesing the results.&amp;nbsp;He no longer could wait to leave.
He was extremely punctual and did not tolerate even seconds of delay. But he
still had time to close several windows on the screen of his computer,
including multiple sites exhibiting cosplay and hentai images. Ranny looked at
some hentai pictures with hungry eyes, but he decided that definitely was not
time for lustful thoughts.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

soon as he finally could open that massive door, his heart raced, he felt
cramps, tremors; his face began to sweat, his hands were shaking and his lips
lost color.&amp;nbsp;Ranny thought about aborting his plans, but if he ever did
that, he could not proceed with his research.&amp;nbsp;It seemed his skull sides
were being crushed by an unbearable pressure.&amp;nbsp;His temple seemed to be compressed
by a tremendous force. Ranny had the impression that every time he left home he
was shrinking, or else people were growing. He felt sick and anxious, and if
not for a shred of self-control he could still gather, he would have thrown up
at the very moment he set foot out the door.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

anxiety he was feeling would have given rise to a terrible sense of panic, had
he not relied on the bit of control over his emotions, but every time he left
home he felt he was losing more and more power over his feelings. The scope of
the external space, the street lights, the headlights of the cars, the treble
bangs seemed to be distorted in a flurry of disconnected sounds and images in a
tapered twisted vision.&amp;nbsp;He seemed to have lost his peripheral vision and
all he could see was a trail of elongated and blurred lights amid a deafening
roar, but what led his almost indomitable phobia to the limit were the people:
they were threatening.&amp;nbsp;Ranny was terrified of them.&amp;nbsp;He was scared of
being stepped on, kicked, mocked; but if he could choose, he would prefer to
have the feeling of rejection and indifference, though it also hurt him.&amp;nbsp;
Anyway, he would rather be ignored by them rather than being observed in his
activities. Ranny felt difficulty performing any task if he felt someone was
watching him. So he carefully studied the way he should tread to avoid having
to ask for information or directions.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

breathed a bit and tried to be as fast as he could, preferring to go through
darker places and close the alleys, lanes or pathways, sneaking behind road
signs, bins, bus stops or any other obstacle that could serve as a possible
hiding place.&amp;nbsp;Having breathed was of some help, and Ranny strode
interspersed with precise however winding jumps.&amp;nbsp;He preferred to follow
his route obliquely, jumping from one corner to another to avoid coming across
anyone.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

almost arriving at Lepo&#39;s store of electronic trinkets, but he decided to stop
behind a bucket of debris to breathe a little more before entering, but that
was not a good idea.&amp;nbsp;Ranny almost fainted when he felt something rubbing up
his back and a warm and wet sensation running his ​​neck. He turned back terribly
scared to see what it was about and could see a huge face with exploring eyes
and a huge tongue dripping a thick, sticky saliva.&amp;nbsp;Ranny had time to see
that it was just a curious dog that had licked the entire length of his spine
and sniffed all his body with an inquiring and cold snout.&amp;nbsp;Ranny would
have urinated right there if he had not done that before leaving home, but he
managed to dodge from that wandering and stray dog, which seemed more to
satisfy his canine curiosity than causing him any harm. It was not difficult
for him to jump to a safer place, leaving that nosy and inquisitive animal to
find the way from which it was led astray.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

in a way, relieved for getting at this stage. He was close to getting
in.&amp;nbsp;He wanted to light a cigarette, but there was no one, and that would
also expose himself all the more.&amp;nbsp;He was worried about not having cigarettes,
since he would never go into a bar to buy them. But his concern gave way to
some relief when he passed his hands to his chest and could grope the volume of
a pack of cigarettes still closed in one of his pockets. His idea of ​​leaving
a pack hidden somewhere just in case worked out.&amp;nbsp;Maybe some nicotine would
give him some encouragement to go on.&amp;nbsp;He lit a cigarette and dragged it
so eagerly, that in less than a minute he had smoked more than half of it and felt
satisfied, dismissing the rest of it and speeding up to knock at the door
quickly.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny
was rehearsing what to say; he did not want to act as a fool.&amp;nbsp;He cleared his
throat and coughed and wanted to adopt a posture of someone who knew exactly
what to buy.&amp;nbsp;He did not want someone else to think he was stupid,
indecisive or hesitant. He just wanted to buy what he needed, get out of there
as quickly as possible and return to his refuge.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

not take so long until Lepo opened the door, but his effusive welcome did not
make him feel calmer ̶ &amp;nbsp;on the contrary.
Ranny knew Lepo only by the internet chats and had never seen him in person. He
froze when he saw that it was a hare.&amp;nbsp;His heart raced, his breathing
became short and panting.&amp;nbsp;Air was lacking and again he began to sweat.&amp;nbsp;His
face was on fire.&amp;nbsp;Ranny could not control himself and his whole body
trembled.&amp;nbsp;He wanted to control &amp;nbsp;himself, but when he saw that it was a hare, he
deeply regretted having left his house; he wanted to take a step back and go
away running or jumping, but&amp;nbsp; he was
frozen, motionless, petrified.&amp;nbsp;He could not express himself and was
speechless.&amp;nbsp;He was always disconcerted whenever he first met someone.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

hare. By the tone of his muscles, one could easily conclude he was an young
athletic guy and a lover of exercises.&amp;nbsp;His well-maintained&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;brown&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;hair &amp;nbsp;was
also an evidence that Lepo was a young guy who cared about his outlook and was somewhat
vain.&amp;nbsp;Lepo was a lover of everything related to new technologies, pop
culture, adventure films, science fiction, comics, and RPG. His reddened eyes
widened, and his pupils dilated when he saw Ranny’s state of panic and
dread.&amp;nbsp;Lepo hastened to bring him in, pulling him hard, since he imagined he
had been mugged or was going through some health problem. By his panting and
gasping breath, he imagined he could be suffering from an asthma attack and
then tried to welcome him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

just could not speak.&amp;nbsp;His cloudy thoughts and wheezing left him prostrate,
just trying to breathe and recover.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

what happened to you, man?&quot; asked Lepo, with great expression of concern,
trying to find &amp;nbsp;any seat to accommodate his virtual friend, with whom he had
exchanged hours of online conversations, but whom he had not yet personally met.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

down, buddy, breathe a bit, sit here and relax.&amp;nbsp;Whatever happened, you
are okay now,&quot; &amp;nbsp;Lepo said in a firm and friendly voice.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Lepo, I was not feeling well; I was surprised with a dog that appeared along
the way,&quot; he tried to hide.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

understand, these dogs live in the wild and are usually meek.&amp;nbsp;They are
always looking for some leftover food.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

could talk naturally in a voice so warm and soft, which could leave Ranny
calmer.&amp;nbsp;His tone was relaxing.&amp;nbsp;Lepo was a tall hare, with firm and
calm gestures, the same age as Ranny. His gentle and welcoming attitude was
soon making Ranny feel more at ease. But what calmed him down a bit were the electronic equipment.&amp;nbsp;Ranny was gradually calming down and was distracted
with several of them. He would have them all if he could. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

you like some water?&quot; asked Lepo, placing both hands back and leaning
close to Ranny.&amp;nbsp;Lepo looked at him carefully, lowered his face and tried
to see if Ranny had suffered an injury.&amp;nbsp;His watchful eyes let Ranny
somewhat embarrassed.&amp;nbsp;Lepo watched carefully, from top to bottom, as if searching
him with his eyes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

refusing the glass of water.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

have a bit of everything.&amp;nbsp;I don’t have the best products, but they are
good items.&amp;nbsp;I need to have goods that meet both the pockets and the wishes
of the people.&amp;nbsp;If I have expensive things, nobody buys them.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

how did you manage to organize this store, Lepo.&amp;nbsp;You&#39;re still so young!

know, Ranny, at the beginning it was very difficult: no one would help me.&amp;nbsp;I
started selling things in a bag until I asked my parents if I could use this
old garage.&amp;nbsp;At first they did not want, but later some things happened and
they had to change their mind.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

never mind, Ranny, I don’t want - and I don’t like - &amp;nbsp;to remember that period that

yes,&quot; he stammered, &quot;I&#39;d like to take a very soft keyboard,&quot; he was
keen to stress, &quot;and also a... also a... ah, yes, a laser pointer.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

think you might not have one. I always wanted to have virtual reality glasses, I’d
like so much to have one of those glasses,&quot; Ranny sighed, searching all

you can have my collection of action figures and my toys too.&amp;nbsp;I like them
very much, but I know it will be in good hands if you keep them,&quot; Lepo
said, with a lost look and his voice a little choked. &quot;I&#39;d really like you
to stay with them...&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

do not know if I can accept them, Lepo, you must have collected all of this with
great effort and care.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

know, Ranny, but I also need some more room here to put other goods, and I know
they will be in good hands. Right, Ranny, here is the keyboard, the letters are
large and the keys are soft.&amp;nbsp;You told me you have tired vision, and this mechanical keyboard has large letters.&amp;nbsp;It is the last one I have.&amp;nbsp;I do not have
a laser pointer, but I have this keyholder with a well-focused laser.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

don’t know, maybe this will help me to understand.&amp;nbsp;But a similar phenomenon
occurs with my experiences,&quot; he replied thoughtfully.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

do you mean, Ranny?&quot; Lepo Insisted, placing a chair closer&amp;nbsp; to Ranny and struggling to understand.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

mean, when I&#39;m at the computer, watching the experiment, I get some result, but
if I move away from it, I can’t get any result.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

got a few, but I was not sure if it was a coincidence or some sort of
interference.&amp;nbsp;But today I&#39;m sure I got a message. &quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

do not know about that yet, but certainly from some corner of the universe or from
another dimension.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

interesting, Ranny! You know, I always say that the universe speaks to us all
the time, through everything: maybe a song, a flower, a still lake, an animal,
the sound of rain and even by a person,&quot; he joked, “except I think it speaks
softly, and we have to pay close attention to what it’s trying to say.&amp;nbsp;But
I&#39;m curious to know what message you received.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I left home, Lepo, I tried again, and &amp;nbsp;there
came out a strange message.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

message? Tell me, dude, tell me... &quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

message was: ME PHOBEISTHE.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

what does it mean?&quot; Lepo asked, widening his eyes, rubbing his chin and
ruffling the two huge ears.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

noted the Lepo’s interest and replied, watching the movement of his long ears:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

still don’t know, Lepo, it doesn’t seem a strange expression to me, it looks
familiar, but I don’t remember seeing anything like that in the languages ​​I
know.&amp;nbsp;I put those terms in some regular search engines, not mine, and I
had no time to see the results.&amp;nbsp;I will do this as soon as I go back,&quot;
said Ranny, pausing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

...&quot; he thought for a while, &quot;I should transliterate those Latin
letters to several other alphabets. That&#39;s it, Lepo, I’ll do that right away
when I return.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

tell me what you find out.&amp;nbsp;Now I am curious. &quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

will, Lepo. If I can make it out, you will be the first one to know.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I want to show you something, man. I think you&#39;ll enjoy it&quot;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

is it, Lepo?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

want a virtual reality goggles, right?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I have always wanted one, Lepo.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

man, you can make one yourself.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

is it, Lepo?&quot; Ranny got interested.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

you can download a template yourself, cut a cardboard plate and insert the
lenses. Then you will be able to play games in a virtual reality environment: everything
in 3D. Also, just imagine: you will be able to travel throughout space, inside
the human body, see theaters and museums and interact with people - everything virtual.
&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

was very thoughtful and became interested in the proposal.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

Ranny, I have a mold downloaded here, want to try to make one?&quot; Lepo asked,
making a sign with his thumbs up and rubbing his hands. Lepo bent down and
picked up a folder, took some papers, scissors and glue and put them on the
counter.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

you like to try to make one, Ranny?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

is it?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

just have to cut along the dotted lines and then paste and fold everything. It&#39;s
a piece of cake.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

scratched his head and thought for a moment.&amp;nbsp;He considered it a viable
proposition and began the task by cutting a cardboard strip, but he began to
tremble and gave up. He was nervous about being watched.&amp;nbsp;Ranny fumbled and
nearly spoiled an entire strip. Lepo watched him with compassion, but did not
help him, though.&amp;nbsp;Instead, he encouraged him to continue.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

on, Ranny, you can do that, just be careful to cut along the dotted
lines,&quot; Lepo said, with a voice almost monotonous.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

don’t we need lenses, Lepo?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

but I want to give you the lenses, Ranny, don’t worry. Once we are through, we can
insert the lenses and everything will be ready.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

felt challenged to finish the job, but was surprised with Lepo’s kindness and
became suspicious of his intentions.&amp;nbsp;He just didn’t understand why Lepo
was becoming increasingly gentle and thought maybe he was just trying to sell some more products.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

you mean I’ll be able to interact with people without having contact with them?
That would be too good, too good! &quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

Lepo, you can create an avatar, you can chat with anyone from anywhere in the
world, and also play games.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

would like so much to be able to interact with people in this way, Lepo, I
dream &amp;nbsp;about that; that&#39;s all I
want,&quot; Ranny sighed with a distant and lost look.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

do you want to interact with people in this way, Ranny?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

think I can trust you, Lepo.&amp;nbsp;You are a nice guy.&amp;nbsp;I think I can open
up to you.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

you can, Ranny.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

know, Lepo, I&#39;m afraid of people, I fear, I panic, I have a real phobia.&amp;nbsp;I
just can’t interact with them,” Ranny said with his eyes filled with tears.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

you like people, Ranny?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

not it, is not it.&amp;nbsp;Actually, what I feel for them is a mixture of love and
fear.&amp;nbsp;It could be summarized this way: a strong desire to be accepted and
a strong fear of being rejected by them.&amp;nbsp;So if I had one of these glasses I
could go anywhere virtually. I could talk to people, interact with them without
worry.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

leaned back in his chair, rested his face in his right hand, inhaled all the
air he could and thought for a moment. He did not know what to say.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

you always felt like this, Ranny, have you always felt this way?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

when I was a kid I didn’t like team sports. I didn’t like to engage in
activities with other guys. I preferred things I could do alone, like riding a
skate board, flying a kite, jumping, reading… these kinds of things, but I didn’t
feel so afraid. People thought I was weirdo and played tricks on me. They
called me crazy toad, fromunda cheese toad, buster toad and liked to kick
me.&amp;nbsp;But I didn’t care too much about that.&amp;nbsp;I just got upset when they
called me toad. I&#39;m not a toad, man, I&#39;m a frog!&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&quot;I
know what that&#39;s like, Ranny, I am also upset when people call me rabbit.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

when I was growing teenager, and started to understand more things, I was
very sad because of an episode.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;was it, Ranny?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&quot;Once,
I was practicing jumps on a trampoline, then a guy came up to me, interested in
what I was doing. He wanted to learn how to jump and wanted to talk and make
friends.&amp;nbsp;He approached me with no fear, and we were just talking. Then his mother came over and said some things that hurt me a
lot. After that I became very sad and more restrained.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

what did she say, Ranny?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

started to yell at him and said: &#39;Son, walk away this &amp;nbsp;filthy toad!&amp;nbsp;Don’t
you know that this creature is poisonous?&amp;nbsp;Don’t you know if he pees in
your eyes, you&#39;ll go blind?&#39;&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

merely jiggled his head from side to side in disapproval; his eyes filled with
tears, which he tried to wipe away, rubbing his eyes with both hands and
turning his head a little to the side.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

that,&quot; he continued, &quot;I began to think that people did not like me at
all. &amp;nbsp;I was convinced that I might be indeed
poisonous. Then I began avoiding people and thinking about that.&amp;nbsp;I thought I
could harm them with some kind of venom I might have, and at the same time, I
thought people could also do me any harm because of my poison. So I was afraid
to do any harm to them, and afraid they’d treat me badly.&quot; Ranny tried to
explain, confused in his thoughts and embarrassed with the words.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

nonsense, Ranny. First, you are not a toad, you are a frog.&amp;nbsp;Second, frogs
don’t have venom.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I am a kind of a poisonous frog, Lepo. But even so I could still go out and interact
with people.&amp;nbsp;Then, there was a third thing,&quot; Ranny said with a
wistful look and a miserable face. His aspect changed and an expression of
distress and prostration transfigured his appearance.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

guess I should fold this mark, right, Lepo?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&quot;Exactly,
Ranny, this is the last folding; Now just paste it, but let&#39;s insert the
lenses,&quot; said Lepo, scratching his face.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

just have a doubt about the position of the lens, Ranny; I don’t know if there
is a lens for the right side and &amp;nbsp;another
for the left one, but let&#39;s try it anyway; if that doesn’t work out, we reverse
it.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

the device was ready and well adjusted, Lepo fit the smartphone into the slots
and adjusted the apparatus on his nose and began to cry aloud, &quot;Wow, wow, its
working, man, how nice, what an extraordinary thing; it’s as if you&#39;re there!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

me see, let me see, man.&quot; Ranny said with excitement, with a twinkle in his
eyes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

you need to install a program on your phone,&quot; Lepo said, taking the mobile
phone from Ranny’s hands and typing several words and pressing a few keys with
only two thumbs and in an unbelievable speed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

Ranny, now you can look.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

what appeared to be a square cardboard box on his face and began to turn his
head from side to side.&amp;nbsp;He looked up and to the ground, bent his head and
dodged his body, as if he were about to be hit by some artifact.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

too cool, Lepo, that’s extraordinary, what a beautiful setting!&amp;nbsp;It appears
to be an abandoned house or a castle! Look, man, I can see a book on a table!
Look, man, there is a cliff and a garden outside there! You can see the sea and
a ship.&amp;nbsp;Now I&#39;m in a spaceship and I can see the planets and the galaxies.&amp;nbsp;Man,
a comet has just passed by the ship!&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

and Lepo spent several minutes astonished with the result and testing several
virtual scenarios when Lepo put the experiment back on the counter and said:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

yours, Ranny, I&#39;m glad to hear that you liked it and that it will make your

you, Lepo, &amp;nbsp;I don’t know how to thank
you, that&#39;s what I’ve always wanted.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

what was the third thing that made you more upset, Ranny?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;

tried to find a line &amp;nbsp;of thought while watching Lepo’s restless ears.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

I was about sixteen, almost seventeen, I heard that many hares were depressed
and sad; many of them were jumping into a lake.&amp;nbsp;So I was thinking about that.&amp;nbsp;Once,
it was dark and I was passing by the lake when I saw a thoughtful and sad hare.
He was crestfallen and down.&amp;nbsp;So I approached him and tried to talk.&quot; Lepo
stopped stirring his ears and became interested in the subject.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

started talking, Lepo, and that hare was willing to jump into the lake: he said
his life was confused, things didn’t work out for him and that no matter how hard
he tried, it seemed that his life was shrouded by black and thick clouds and he
couldn’t understand anything or think straight.&amp;nbsp;Then he said he could only
jump into the lake and put an end to that suffering.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

continued to listen carefully to every detail.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

talked to him, I did everything I could to try to change his mind, but he was
inflexible. He said he had already taken ​​that decision and was about to give
up everything. So I stretched my hand and managed to hold his arm.&amp;nbsp;I didn’t
know what to do.&amp;nbsp;He already had one foot on the cliff.&amp;nbsp;I couldn’t’ hold
his arm.&amp;nbsp;I was getting tired.&amp;nbsp;I wanted to find arguments, I wanted to
speak, I wanted to have the strength enough to hold him, but I could only tell
him, &#39;Do not be afraid, do not be afraid, my friend&#39;, but he was slipping. Then
I remembered the lyrics of a very beautiful song.&amp;nbsp;I wanted to sing for
that hare, but my voice was choked because I was nervous and tired and I could
only croak.&amp;nbsp;So I could only speak part of the song, but I no longer could
stand it.&amp;nbsp;Then my arms were smooth and wet and he slipped out of my hand. I
saw his body churning in the water. I saw his ears with black tips, spinning
into a kind of whirlpool and moving away.&amp;nbsp;I dove into the water and tried
to swim, but when I took my head out of the water, he was gone in that water whirlpool
and I lost sight of him when he was getting near the waterfall.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

moment. Afterwards, Ranny approached and held his hand. Ranny began to cry and
squirm in his chair.&amp;nbsp;He wept bitterly and loud.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I couldn’t save the guy,&quot; he insisted, shaking the whole body and twisting

&quot;Ranny, doctors cannot always save everyone, but they do their part. Can
you imagine if they gave up trying to save others?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&quot;Ranny, you could not walk on water, but you were able to perform other
miracles. And everybody is able to perform these miracles.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

you could not walk on water, like Christ, but you approached the hare, talked
to him, encouraged &amp;nbsp;him and held out his hands, do you understand?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

miracle of approaching people when they are feeling in the darkness, the
miracle of speaking and talking with them, the miracle of encouraging them not to
be afraid and the miracle of reaching out, Ranny, and you did it all,&quot;
Lepo said, holding his hands tightly.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

relax a little, try to lean back in the chair,&quot; proposed Lepo, &quot;stay
with your spine straight and breathe deep, you&#39;ll be all right. Do not be
afraid, man, I&#39;m here with you. Hold my hand.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Lepo held Ranny by his hand, he revived the whole episode with the hare and
lost total control of his feelings. This time, he threw himself face down on
the floor and could only cry.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

After
a few minutes, Lepo resumed the dialogue and said:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Come on, man, breathe very deeply.&amp;nbsp;Now hold your breath for a few seconds
and exhale very smoothly.&amp;nbsp;You will feel good, man, trust me, I&#39;m here with
you.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

now I will always be here.&amp;nbsp;Before you go, remember when you told me not to
be afraid. Now I want you to think about that too.&amp;nbsp;I know that in time you
will be able to overcome every fear, even if it takes a little time.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

soon as Lepo left Ranny at the door of his house, he rushed in to see the
result of his research.&amp;nbsp;He saw nothing out of the ordinary and was about
to finish everything when he remembered to transliterate the Latin letters into
other alphabets.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;O recinto escuro, com
paredes encardidas e placas de reboco se despregando das colunas de cimento,
exalava um odor de mofo e bolor característico. A fumaça continua de tabaco
queimando, em meio a outras centenas de pontas de cigarros lançadas a esmo pelo
chão, impregnavam todo o ambiente, tornando o ar denso numa atmosfera acre e
sufocante. O bafio da fumaça e do fumo curtido chegava mesmo a magoar as
narinas sensíveis de quem tivesse a coragem de abrenhar-se naquele ambiente
malcheiroso e infectante. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Uma
placa de papelão úmido, estendida no chão frio e recoberta de algumas almofadas
emboloradas e puídas, servia tanto de cama como de pousadeiro. Era lá que Ranny
dormia, comia e trabalhava. Era ali que ele passava a maior parte do tempo
recostado, lendo algum livro, de preferência de ficção científica, mas também
de física quântica, teoria das cordas, universos paralelos, modelo padrão,
partículas subatômicas, experiências de quase morte, experiência fora do corpo,
vampiros, duendes, elfos, super-heróis modernos, mangás, ânimes e aceleradores
de partículas. Ranny, porém, se sentia extremamente frustrado por não saber bem
matemática, sobretudo as equações, sem as quais ele não poderia trabalhar no
seu novo projeto e aperfeiçoar-se se mais na linguagem c++.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ranny
não se sentia totalmente satisfeito com seus projetos, a não ser pelo êxito que
estava obtendo em memorizar tantos alfabetos quanto ele pudesse. Ele já havia
decorado o alfabeto grego, hebraico, aramaico, árabe, cirílico; sem contar
milhares de ideogramas chineses, caracteres cuneiformes, hieróglifos egípcios e
maias. Em princípio, não achava muita utilidade no aprendizado desses sistemas
de escrita, mas com o passar do tempo, percebeu que esses conhecimentos o ajudariam
no aprendizado dessas línguas e estava persuadido de que esse exercício
intelectual certamente já o estava ajudando à medida que progredia em seu
algoritmo para desenvolver um motor de busca tanto intergaláctico como
interdimensional. Por enquanto os resultados customizados preliminares e os
filtros estavam ao seu favor. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny era
superpoliglota e podia se comunicar com vários amigos do mundo inteiro pela
internet. Era isso que gostava de fazer nas horas que não estava trabalhando
como avaliador de jogos &lt;i&gt;on-line&lt;/i&gt; e
videogames. Ele só não gostava de ficar esperando pelas respostas de seus
interlocutores virtuais. Achava extremamente deselegante deixar as pessoas
esperando por vários minutos pelas respostas. Achava que elas deveriam ficar
verdes, ou melhor, que deveriam deixar seus apelidos em verde, se não
estivessem dispostas a bater papo. Pois que ficassem vermelhas, sinalizando que
estavam ocupadas, ou então amarelas, quando estivessem ausentes. Ele
simplesmente odiava isso e decidiu excluir todos os amigos virtuais que não
seguissem essa regra básica de etiqueta nos bate-papos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Seu sonho era poder
comprar um óculos de realidade virtual e poder testar os jogos em ambiente 3D,
mas para isso ele teria de juntar muitos &lt;i&gt;bitcoins&lt;/i&gt;
nos sites que ofereciam pequenas tarefas. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny se sentia
faminto; precisava comer algo antes de sair, pois já havia planejado sua ida à
loja de produtos eletrônicos com várias semanas de antecedência. Planejara tudo
meticulosamente: quais ruas deveria percorrer; quais esquinas deveria evitar;
em que beco escuro ele deveria se meter no caso de ser visto por alguma pessoa;
qual deveria ser a melhor rota de fuga nesse caso; e, até mesmo, com que roupa
deveria estar vestido. Semanas de planejamento. Nada deveria dar errado: ele
não poderia ser observado por ninguém absolutamente. Por isso separou um
sobretudo preto; um suspensório listrado; uma camiseta também preta, sem
nenhuma estampa que pudesse chamar a atenção; um par de botas parecidas com as
de caubóis e uma bermuda comprida, suficiente para cobrir suas pernas esguias
até abaixo dos joelhos, mas deixando à mostra suas canelas. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Era um tanto
encurvado, talvez pelos anos de atividades em frente ao computador e já com um
pequeno abdome ressaltado, mas ainda mantinhas as pernas morrudas fortes. Não
era amante de caminhadas, mas desde criança gostava de praticar saltos. Chegou
até a ganhar uma medalha pelo primeiro lugar de salto em altura na escola e
outra medalha pelo segundo lugar em salto à distância. É verdade que ele se
preocupava com a saúde, por isso decidiu cortar um pouco das pizzas e
hambúrgueres e continuar praticando saltos, mesmo que dentro de casa. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Já perto de completar
vinte e dois anos, achava que deveria começar a cuidar mais de si; por isso
decidiu cortar um pouco dos carboidratos e comer mais proteínas e continuar
praticando saltos&amp;nbsp; ̶ &amp;nbsp;largar o cigarro e o café, os pacotes de
batatas fritas e salgadinhos ficaria para mais tarde.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;A casa, ou melhor, a
toca onde vivia, trabalhava e comia, estava repleta de fios, de tal modo que
uma das tarefas que mais ocupava a sua atenção era separar cuidadosamente as
teias de fios daquele verdadeiro emaranhado de cabos, pontas, plugues, tomadas,
extensões. Ele não entendia esse mistério, qual seja, bastava levantar-se para
atender ao telefone ou ir até o banheiro, que na volta os fios já estavam
repletos de nós e laços&amp;nbsp; ̶ &amp;nbsp;tudo embaraçado. Às vezes chegava mesmo a
imaginar que os fios e cabos tinham vida própria e se emaranhavam
propositalmente para deixar sua vida tediosa ainda mais difícil. Eram dezenas
deles: fios de baterias, do mouse, do teclado, do fone de ouvidos, dos
videogames em meio a outros tantos cabos e adaptadores de vários tipos. Se ele
não os dispusesse na mais perfeita ordem, seria impossível identificar
devidamente a que dispositivo pertencia tal cabo ou fio. Portanto, classificar
e separar cada extremidade com seus respectivos equipamentos era uma tarefa
fastidiosa, porém necessária. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny não queria
passar pela inconveniência de ter de sair para comprar um fio ou cabo novo para
substituir algum que houvesse se rompido por torções inadvertidas. Um fio
partido implicava uma incursão nova pelas ruas, e Ranny empregava todo o
esforço possível para nunca jamais ter de sair de casa. Mas desta vez era
inevitável – um copo cheio de refrigerante havia caído por todo o teclado e só
não danificou os componentes internos de seu computador portátil graças ao
salto certeiro que dera, segurando-o com precisão antes que entornasse aquele
líquido totalmente e fizesse um estrago ainda maior. Mas não havia jeito: a
solução era comprar pelo menos um teclado externo para poder continuar seu
trabalho. Além disso, já estava em seus planos comprar, também, um ponteiro a
laser. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny estava ansioso
para reproduzir a experiência das fendas duplas e precisava de um emissor de
raio laser. Ele não entedia por que cargas d’água não havia colapso das ondas
quando as pessoas as observavam nos vídeos que vira. Não deveria ser assim: se
houvesse alguém observando, os padrões deveriam ser de partículas e não de
ondas. Isso o intrigava e o deixava pensativo por horas. Ele precisava entender
esse processo, porque havia conseguido interceptar várias palavras em seu motor
de busca. Ele sabia que seu algoritmo estava funcionando, pois os resultados
estavam dentro de um padrão lógico e seguiam um código binário. Tudo que
precisava fazer era atribuir um fonema para cada símbolo que estava sendo
formado, e ele estava perto de desvendar isso. O programa que desenvolvera para
tentar atribuir os fonemas, vogais e consoantes aos códigos binários funcionou
algumas vezes, e ele havia anotado padrões que indicavam para uma sequência
lógica de um idioma, mas ficava intrigado, pois, como na experiência com as
fendas duplas, só conseguia obter alguma mensagem quando estava observando o
experimento e isso jamais ocorria enquanto seu programa estava rodando sozinho.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Já estava chegando a
hora de sair; a loja estaria fechada, mas Lepo prometera estar lá para guardar
caixas de produtos eletrônicos nos balcões, mesmo depois do expediente. Tudo
que Ranny deveria fazer era bater e se identificar. Lepo dera sua palavra de
que estaria dentro da loja para organizar as mercadorias. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Agora Ranny precisava
comer alguma coisa. Estava faminto. Precisava comer algo e urinar. Ranny nunca
saía se não fizesse isso. Foi ao banheiro e certificou-se de que havia urinado
totalmente. Não podia deixar de expelir uma gota de urina sequer – não podia.
Primeiro, porque ele não queria passar pelo constrangimento de urinar nas
calças se passasse por algum tipo de situação ameaçadora; segundo, porque não
queria contaminar ninguém com sua urina.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Não havia mais uma
fatia de pizza sequer. Também não havia mais nenhum pacote de batatas frias e
salgadinhos. Esse problema não era tão importante, pois ele poderia encomendar
essas coisas pelo smartphone ou pela internet sem precisar sair, mas ele
precisava comer algo. Ranny deu alguns passos para trás, colocou sua toca ninja
e seus óculos escuros e quase caiu ao tropeçar no tabuleiro de RPG. Recobrou o
equilíbrio, olhou fixamente para a parede e deu um salto abruto, porém
certeiro, e virou-se imediatamente, esfregando o estômago com ar de satisfação
e com a bocarra entreaberta, ainda por engolir metade de um grilo, cujas asas
esganiçadas pararam de tremelicar e foram minguando até que o bicho todo fosse
engolido totalmente sem que Ranny sequer o mastigasse. Era o seu dia de sorte,
pois com mais dois ou três saltos, conseguiu capturar, com sua enorme língua
distendida, uma mariposa desatenta e uma suculenta barata marrom.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Já estava se sentindo
quase preparado para sair, caminhou até a porta, colocou a mão na tranca
rústica de madeira forte, bem aparelhada e firme, e a puxou com força por
várias vezes. Colocava a mão na fechadura bem trancada da porta, forçava a
tranca e a voltava à posição de início novamente. A porta não se abria, até que
se lembrou de um calço extra que havia metido firmemente sob ela&amp;nbsp; ̶ &amp;nbsp;mas
uma força parecia o impelir para trás. Tentou várias vezes, entrecruzou os
dedos à frente dos lábios, respirou profundamente por vários segundos, ensaiou
uma nova saída, mas voltou ao computador: teve a ideia de tentar mais uma vez
deixar o programa rodando enquanto estivesse fora. Fixou os olhos na tela e
digitou em um campo de pesquisa: “mensagem para a humanidade”. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny era um exímio
digitador, e a resposta veio quase na mesma velocidade com que era capaz de
digitar, porém num padrão helicoidal semelhante a uma tira de DNA, embora com
pares de sequência apenas binários. Ranny sentiu um calafrio percorrer lhe a
espinha. Desta vez parecia ser uma mensagem clara. Bastava agora inserir os
códigos no seu programa e esperar pela conversão. Repentinamente, os milhares
de zeros e uns começaram a dançar freneticamente na tela, até que finalmente
uma sequencia do que parecia ser duas palavras se formou. Ranny não demorou
muito tempo para entender que se tratava de um idioma. Bastou que inserisse o
resultado em uma biblioteca de fonemas, e, finalmente, o resultado saltou aos
seus olhos atentos: ME PHOBEISTHE.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Um misto de curiosidade
e satisfação quase o fez esquecer-se de que já era hora de sair e ele não mais
podia protelar o seu egresso, mas seus pensamentos estavam quase todos voltados
para o significado dos termos que acabara de surgir na tela de seu computador.
Ranny quis acender um cigarro&amp;nbsp; ̶ &amp;nbsp;ele sempre fazia isso como um rito de
celebração quando sentia que obtinha alguma conquista, como vencer um oponente
num videogame ou RPG, ou finalizar algum programa importante, ou escrever uma
resenha para comentários de algum livro ou site, mas não havia mais nenhum.
Vasculhou os bolsos de várias roupas e tentou achar algum cigarro perdido em
algum canto, mas tudo o que encontrou foi um toco já meio embolorado e amassado
e não hesitou em acendê-lo e aproveitar para inalar profundamente o restante de
fumaça que aquele resto de cigarro pudesse ainda produzir.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Estava afoito para
continuar suas pesquisas; tudo que precisava fazer agora era digitar os termos
num motor de busca comum e estudar os resultados. Ele não podia esperar mais
para sair&amp;nbsp; ̶ &amp;nbsp;era pontualíssimo e não tolerava segundos de
atraso sequer. Mas ainda teve tempo para fechar diversas janelas abertas na
tela de seu computador, entre as quais vários sites que exibiam imagens cosplay
e hentais. Ranny olhou para alguns hentais com um olhar cobiçoso, mas decidiu
que aquela definitivamente não era hora para pensamentos lúbricos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Assim que finalmente
conseguiu abrir a porta maciça, seu coração disparou, sentiu cólicas, tremores;
o rosto começou a suar, as mãos tremiam e os lábios perderam a cor. Ranny
pensou em abortar seus planos, mas se fizesse isso não poderia dar andamento às
suas pesquisas. Parecia que as laterais de seu crânio estavam sendo esmagadas
por uma pressão insuportável. Sua têmpora parecia estar sendo comprimida por
uma força descomunal. Ranny tinha a impressão de que a cada vez que saia estava
diminuindo de tamanho, ou então as pessoas estavam crescendo. Sentiu-se enjoado
e ansioso, e se não fosse por um resquício de autocontrole que ele ainda
conseguia reunir, teria vomitado no momento mesmo em que pusera os pés para
fora da porta.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;A ansiedade que
estava sentindo teria dado lugar a um terrível sentimento de pânico, se ele não
tivesse se valido do pouco de controle sobre suas emoções, mas, a cada vez que
saia, sentia que estava perdendo cada vez mais o domínio sobre seus
sentimentos. A amplidão do espaço externo, as luzes das ruas, os faróis dos
carros, os sons agudos pareciam estar distorcidos em um turbilhão de ruídos
desconexos e imagens retorcidas num campo de visão afunilado. Parecia ter
perdido a visão periférica e tudo que conseguia ver era um rasto de luzes
alongadas e embaçadas em meio a um barulho ensurdecedor, mas o que mais levava
o limite sua fobia quase indomável eram as pessoas: elas eram ameaçadoras.
Ranny sentia pavor delas. Tinha medo de ser pisado, chutado, ridicularizado,
mas, se pudesse escolher, preferiria o sentimento de rejeição e indiferença,
embora isso também o magoasse. De qualquer maneira, preferia ser ignorado por
elas a ser observado em suas atividades. Ranny sentia dificuldade em realizar
qualquer tarefa se sentisse que alguma pessoa o estivesse observando. Por isso
estudou bem o caminho que deveria percorrer para não precisar pedir informações
ou direções.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny respirou um
pouco e tratou de ser o mais rápido que pudesse, preferindo percorrer locais
mais escuros e perto de becos, travessas ou vielas, esgueirando-se por trás de
placas de sinalização, lixeiras, paradas de ônibus ou qualquer outro obstáculo
que pudesse lhe servir de um eventual esconderijo. Ter respirado um pouco o
ajudou, e Ranny caminhava a passos largos, intercalados com saltos precisos,
porém sinuosos. Ele preferia seguir sua rota de forma oblíqua, saltando de um
canto a outro para evitar dar de topo com qualquer pessoa. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Já estava quase
chegando à lojinha de quinquilharias eletrônicas de Lepo, e resolveu parar
atrás de uma caçamba de detritos para respirar um pouco mais antes de entrar,
mas isso não foi uma boa ideia. Ranny quase perdeu os sentidos ao sentir algo
esfregar-se em suas costas e uma sensação quente é úmida percorrer-lhe o
pescoço. Virou-se terrivelmente assustado para ver do que se tratava e
conseguiu ver um rosto enorme, com olhos perquiridores e uma imensa língua que
destilava uma saliva espessa e pegajosa. Ranny teve tempo de ver que se tratava
apenas de um cachorro curioso que havia lambido toda a extensão de sua espinha
e farejado seu corpo inteiro com um focinho inquiridor e gelado. Ranny teria
urinado ali mesmo se não tivesse feito isso antes de sair de casa, mas
conseguiu se esquivar daquele cão desencaminhado e errante, que parecia querer
mais satisfazer sua curiosidade canina do que lhe causar algum mal. Não foi
difícil para ele saltar para um local mais seguro, deixando aquele animal
abelhudo e indiscreto encontrar o caminho do qual se desgarrara.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Sentiu-se, de certo
modo, aliviado por vencer esta etapa. Já estava perto de conseguir entrar.
Queria acender um cigarro, mas não havia mais nenhum e isso também o exporia
ainda mais. Ficou preocupado por não ter cigarros, pois ele jamais entraria em
um bar para os comprar. Mas sua preocupação deu lugar a certo alívio quando
passou as mãos no peito e pôde tatear o volume de um maço de cigarros ainda
fechado em um de seus bolsos. Sua ideia de deixar um maço escondido para o caso
de alguma emergência deu certo. Talvez um pouco de nicotina lhe desse algum
ânimo para prosseguir. Acendeu um cigarro e o tragou com tanta sofreguidão, que
em menos de um minuto já havia fumado mais da metade e se dado por satisfeito,
dispensando o restante e apressando os passos para logo bater à porta. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny estava
ensaiando o que dizer; não queria passar por um tolo. Limpou a garganta e
tossiu e quis adotar uma postura de quem sabia exatamente o que comprar. Não
queria que as pessoas o achassem estúpido, indeciso ou reticente. Queria
comprar logo o que precisava, sair dali o mais rápido possível e voltar para o
seu refúgio.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Não demorou até que
Lepo abrisse a porta, mas a acolhida efusiva não o fez sentir-se mais
calmo&amp;nbsp; ̶ &amp;nbsp;pelo contrário. Ranny conhecia Lepo apenas
pelos bate-papos da internet e nunca o tinha visto pessoalmente. Ficou imóvel
quando viu que se tratava de uma lebre. Seu coração disparou, sua respiração
tornou-se curta e ofegante. O ar lhe faltava e novamente começou a suar frio.
Seu rosto parecia pegar fogo. Ranny não podia se controlar e seu corpo todo
tremia. Ele queria se conter, mas quando viu que se tratava de uma lebre, se
arrependeu profundamente de ter saído de casa; queria dar um passo para trás e
sair correndo, ou pulando, mas ficou estático, imóvel, petrificado. Não
conseguia se expressar e emudeceu. Ele sempre ficava desconcertado quando
conhecia alguém.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Lepo era uma lebre
alta, forte. Pelo tônus de seus músculos, era fácil depreender que se tratava
de um jovem atlético e amante de exercícios físicos. Seus pelos castanhos, bem
cuidados, também era evidência de que Lepo era um jovem cuidadoso com a
aparência e, de certa forma, vaidoso. Lepo era amante de tudo que se
relacionava com novas tecnologias, cultura popular, filmes de aventura e ficção
científica, quadrinhos e RPG. Seus olhos avermelhados arregalaram-se, e suas
pupilas se dilataram quando viu o estado de pânico e pavor de Ranny. Lepo
apressou-se em fazê-lo entrar, puxando-o com força por imaginar que tivesse
sofrido algum assalto ou que estivesse passando por algum problema de saúde.
Pela respiração arfante e esbaforida, imaginou que pudesse estar sofrendo de um
ataque de asma e logo tratou de acolhê-lo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny simplesmente
não conseguia falar. Seus pensamentos embotados e sua respiração ofegante o
deixaram prostrado, apenas tentando respirar e se refazer.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Mas o que aconteceu
com você, cara?”, indagou Lepo, com expressão de grande preocupação, cuidando
para encontrar um assento qualquer para acomodar o amigo virtual, com quem
mantivera horas de conversas &lt;i&gt;on-line,&lt;/i&gt;
mas com que ainda não havia se encontrado pessoalmente.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Você foi assaltado? O que houve?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny não conseguia
reunir forças para falar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Calma, amigo,
respire um pouco, sente-se aqui e relaxe. Seja lá o que aconteceu, você está
bem agora”, afirmou Lepo, com voz firme e acolhedora.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;A voz meiga, suave e
gentil de Lepo fez com que Ranny recobrasse um pouco de forças e se sentisse
encorajado para entrar e se assentar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny queria mesmo
comprar tudo que precisava logo e sair dali o mais rápido possível.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Desculpa, Lepo, eu
não estava me sentindo bem; levei um susto com um cachorro que apareceu no meio
do caminho”, tentou disfarçar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Eu entendo, esses
cachorros vivem à solta e geralmente são mansos. Vivem a procura de algum resto
de comida.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Lepo conseguia falar
naturalmente num tom de voz tão acolhedor e suave, que conseguia deixar Ranny
mais calmo. Seu tom de voz era relaxante. Lepo era uma lebre alta, de gestos
firmes e tranquilos, da mesma idade que Ranny. Sua atitude gentil e acolhedora
logo foi fazendo com que Ranny se sentisse mais à vontade. Mas o que o deixou
mais tranquilo foram os equipamentos eletrônicos. Ranny aos poucos foi se
acalmando e se distraiu com os diversos deles. Se pudesse levaria todos. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Quer um pouco de
água?”, perguntou Lepo, colocando as duas mãos para trás e se inclinando para
perto de Ranny. Lepo o olhava com atenção, abaixava o rosto e tentava observar
se Ranny havia sofrido algum ferimento. Seu olhar atento deixou Ranny um tanto
constrangido. Lepo o observava atentamente, de alto a baixo, como se estivesse
o revistando com os olhos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Você tem vários
jogos, não é mesmo Lepo?”, indagou Ranny, sentindo-se recobrado, mas recusando
o copo de água. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Sua loja é bem
organizada!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Eu tenho de tudo um
pouco. Não tenho os melhores produtos, mas são mercadorias boas. Eu preciso ter
mercadorias que atendam aos bolsos e aos anseios das pessoas. Se eu tiver
coisas muito caras, ninguém compra.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Mas como você conseguiu
organizar esta loja, Lepo. Você ainda é tão jovem!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Sabe, Ranny, no
começo foi muito difícil: ninguém me ajudava. Eu comecei vendendo coisas numa
sacola, até que pedi para meus pais se eu poderia usar esta garagem velha. No
começo eles não queriam, mas depois aconteceram uns lances e eles tiveram de
mudar de ideia”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Que lances, Lepo?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Ah, deixa pra lá,
Ranny, não quero, nem gosto, de me lembrar desse período tão difícil e cheio de
trevas pra mim, esqueça isso”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Os pensamentos de
Ranny ainda estavam confusos, e ele quase não se lembrava do que queria
comprar. Pensou um pouco e lembrou-se do teclado.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Ah, sim”, gaguejou,
“eu gostaria de levar um teclado bem macio”, fez questão de frisar, “e também
um...., também um...ah, sim, um ponteiro a laser”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Só isso mesmo que
vai querer, Ranny?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Se eu pudesse eu levaria
mais coisas, Lepo, mas meu dinheiro está curto.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“E o que mais você
gostaria de levar?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Acho que você não
vai ter. Eu sempre quis um óculos de realidade virtual, queria tanto ter um
desses!”, suspirou Ranny, vasculhando todas as estantes com os olhos e
observando todos os produtos à mostra: consoles, vídeogames, smatphones,
monitores...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Nossa, cara, você
tem uma coleção inteirinha de figuras de ações do Star Wars!”, suspirou Ranny.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Sim, e tenho também
vários bonecos do Senhor dos Anéis.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Lepo pensou um pouco
e disse: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Você gostaria de ter
um óculos de realidade virtual?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Sim, mas ainda não
tenho grana para comprar”, lamentou-se, cabisbaixo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Ranny, pode ficar
com minha coleção de figuras de ação e com meus bonecos. Eu gosto muito deles,
mas sei que vão estar em boas mãos, se você ficar com eles”, afirmou Lepo, com
o olhar perdido e com a voz meio embargada. “Eu gostaria muito que você ficasse
com eles”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Não sei se posso
aceitar, Lepo, você dever ter colecionado tudo isso com muito esforço e
carinho.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Eu sei, Ranny, mas
eu também preciso de mais espaço para colocar outras mercadorias, e sei que vão
ficar em boas mãos. Bom Ranny, aqui está o teclado, as letras são grandes e as
teclas são macias. Você me disse que tem as vistas cansadas, e este teclado tem
letras grandes. É o último que eu tenho. Eu não tenho um ponteiro a laser, mas
tenho este chaveiro com um laser bem concentrado.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Está perfeito, Lepo,
é exatamente disso que eu preciso.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“É para sua
experiência com as fendas duplas?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“É, Lepo, eu preciso
entender melhor essa experiência – se é que alguém já conseguiu entender.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“E por que você
precisa entender isso, Ranny, o que isso tem a ver com o motor de buscas que
você está criando?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Eu não sei, talvez
isso me ajude a entender. Mas é que um fenômeno semelhante ocorre com as minhas
experiências”, respondeu pensativo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Como assim, Ranny?”,
insistiu Lepo, colocando uma cadeira mais próxima de Ranny e se esforçando para
entender.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“É que quando eu
estou na frente do computador, observando a experiência, eu consigo algum
resultado, mas se eu me afastar dele, não consigo resultado algum.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“E você já conseguiu
algum resultado?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Consegui alguns, mas
não tive certeza se era coincidência ou algum tipo de interferência. Mas hoje
eu tenho certeza de que recebi uma mensagem.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Uma mensagem de
onde, Ranny?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Isso eu não sei
ainda, mas com certeza, de algum canto do universo ou de outra dimensão.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Que interessante,
Ranny! Sabe, eu sempre digo que o universo fala com a gente o tempo todo, por
meio de tudo: pode ser uma música, uma flor, um lago tranquilo, um animal, o
barulho da chuva e até por uma pessoa”, brincou, “só que eu acho que ele fala
baixinho, e a gente tem de prestar bem atenção no que ele está tentando dizer.
Mas eu estou curioso para saber que mensagem você recebeu. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Antes de eu sair,
Lepo, tentei mais uma vez, e surgiu uma mensagem estranha”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Que mensagem? Cara,
me conta, me conta...”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“A mensagem era: ME PHOBEISTHE.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“E o que quer
dizer?”, indagou Lepo, arregalando os olhos, coçando o queixo e eriçando as duas
enormes orelhas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny notou o
interesse de Lepo e respondeu, prestando atenção no movimento de suas longas
orelhas:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Eu ainda não sei,
Lepo, não me parece uma expressão estranha, parece familiar, mas eu não me
lembro de ter visto qualquer coisa parecida nos idiomas que eu conheço. Eu
coloquei esses termos em alguns motores de busca comuns, não no meu, e não tive
tempo de ver os resultados. Vou fazer isso assim que voltar”, respondeu Ranny,
fazendo uma pausa. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“A não ser que...”,
pensou mais um pouco, “talvez eu devesse transliterar essas letras latinas para
vários outros alfabetos. É isso, Lepo, vou fazer isso imediatamente quando eu
voltar.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Então depois me diga
o que descobriu. Agora fiquei curioso.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Pode deixar, Lepo.
Se eu conseguir decifrar, você será o primeiro a saber.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Ranny, eu queria
mostrar uma coisa a você, cara. Acho que você vai gostar”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“O que é, Lepo?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Você quer um óculos
de realidade virtual?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Sim, eu sempre quis
ter um, Lepo”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Então, cara, você
mesmo pode fazer um”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Como é isso, Lepo?”,
interessou-se Ranny, &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Olha só, você mesmo
pode fazer o &lt;i&gt;download&lt;/i&gt; de um molde,
recortar uma placa de papelão e inserir as lentes. Então você vai poder jogar
seus jogos num ambiente de realidade virtual: tudo em 3D. Além disso, imagine
só: você vai poder viajar pelo espaço, por dentro do corpo humano, ver teatros
e museus e interagir com pessoas - tudo virtual.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny ficou muito
pensativo e interessado na proposta. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Espere, Ranny, eu
tenho um molde que baixei aqui, quer tentar fazer um?”, perguntou Lepo, fazendo
um sinal com os dedos para cima e esfregando as mãos. Lepo abaixou-se e apanhou
uma pasta, retirou alguns papéis, tesoura e cola e colocou tudo sobre o balcão.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Quer tentar fazer
um, Ranny?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Como é isso?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Basta você recortar
nas linhas pontilhadas e depois colar e dobrar tudo. É fácil demais.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny coçou a cabeça
e pensou um pouco. Achou a proposta viável e iniciou a tarefa recortando uma
tira de papelão, mas começou a tremer e desistiu. Ficou nervoso por estar sendo
observado. Ranny se atrapalhou e quase estragou uma tira inteira. Lepo o
observou com compaixão, mas não o ajudou. Em vez disso o encorajou a prosseguir.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Vamos, Ranny, você
consegue, bastar ter cuidado de cortar nas linhas pontilhadas”, disse Lepo, com
um tom de voz quase que monótono. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Mas não precisa de
lentes, Lepo?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“É verdade, mas eu quero
dar as lentes a você, Ranny, não se preocupe. Assim que acabar, vamos inserir
as lentes e&amp;nbsp; tudo vai ficar prontinho.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny sentiu-se
desafiado a terminar a tarefa, mas estranhou a gentileza de Lepo e ficou
desconfiado de suas intenções. Não entendia por que Lepo estava cada vez mais
gentil e imaginou que talvez estivesse querendo empurrar alguma mercadoria.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Então quer dizer que
eu vou poder interagir com as pessoas sem ter contato com elas? Isso seria bom
demais, bom demais!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Sim, Lepo, você pode
criar um avatar, pode conversar com qualquer pessoa de qualquer lugar do mundo,
além de poder jogar também”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Eu gostaria tanto de
poder interagir com as pessoas deste modo, Lepo, é meu sonho, é tudo que
quero”, suspirou Ranny com o olhar distante e perdido.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Por que você quer
interagir com as pessoas desta maneira, Ranny?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Acho que posso
confiar em você, Lepo. Você é um cara Legal. Acho que posso me abrir com você”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Claro que pode,
Ranny.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Sabe, Lepo, eu tenho
medo das pessoas, tenho pavor, tenho pânico, verdadeira fobia. Eu não consigo
me relacionar com elas”, disse, Ranny, com os olhos cheios de lágrimas. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Você não gosta das
pessoas, Ranny?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Não é isso, não é
isso. Na verdade o que eu sinto por elas é uma mistura de amor e medo. Poderia
resumir assim: um forte desejo de ser aceito por elas e um forte medo de ser
rejeitado. Então, se eu tivesse um óculos desses, poderia ir a qualquer lugar
virtualmente. Poderia falar com as pessoas, interagir come elas, sem me
preocupar.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Lepo reclinou-se na
cadeira, apoiou o rosto com a mão direita, inalou todo ar que pôde e pensou por
alguns instantes. Ele não sabia o que dizer.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Você sempre sentiu
isso, Ranny, sempre se sentiu assim?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Bom, quando eu era
criança, eu não gostava de esportes coletivos. Não gostava de participar de
atividades com outros caras. Eu preferia coisas que eu pudesse fazer sozinho,
como andar de skate, soltar pipas, saltar, ler... essas coisas, mas eu não
sentia tanto medo. As pessoas me achavam &amp;nbsp;esquisitão e brincavam comigo. Elas me
chamavam de sapo lelé, sapo chulé, sapo mané e gostavam de me chutar. Mas eu
não me importava muito com isso. Só ficava chateado quando me chamavam de sapo.
Eu não sou sapo, cara, eu sou rã!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Eu sei como é isso,
Ranny, também fico chateado quando me chamam de coelho”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Mas quando eu estava
ficando adolescente, e comecei a entender mais as coisas e fiquei muito triste
com um lance”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Que lance, Ranny?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Uma vez, eu estava
treinando saltos numa cama elástica, daí um &amp;nbsp;carinha se aproximou de mim, interessado no
que eu fazia. Ele queria aprender a saltar e quis conversar e fazer amizade.
Ele se aproximou de mim sem medo, e logo foi puxando conversa. De repente, a
mãe dele se aproximou e disse umas coisas que me magoaram muito. Depois disso
eu fiquei muito triste e mais recolhido.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“E o que ela disse,
Ranny?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Ela começou a gritar
com ele e disse assim: ‘Filho, sai de perto desse sapo nojento! Você não sabe
que esse bicho é venenoso? Não sabe que se ele mijar nos seus olhos, você vai
ficar cego?’”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Lepo se limitou a
balançar a cabeça de um lado para outro, em sinal de reprovação, com os olhos
cheios de lágrimas, as quais tentou enxugar, esfregando os olhos com as duas
mãos e virando a cabeça de um pouco para o lado.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Depois disso”,
prosseguiu, “eu comecei a achar que as pessoas não gostavam mesmo de mim. Eu fiquei
convencido de que talvez eu fosse mesmo venenoso. Então comecei a evitar as
pessoas e pensar nisso. Achei que eu pudesse fazer mal a elas com algum tipo de
veneno que talvez eu tivesse,&amp;nbsp; e, ao
mesmo tempo, achei que as pessoas também poderiam me fazer algum mal por causa
do meu veneno. Então, eu fiquei com medo de fazer algum mal a elas, e com medo
de que elas me tratassem mal”, tentou explicar, Ranny, confuso em seus
pensamentos e atropelando as palavras.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Que bobagem, Ranny,
em primeiro lugar, você não é sapo, você é rã. Em segundo lugar, rãs não têm
veneno.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Talvez eu seja um
tipo de rã venenosa, Lepo. Mas, mesmo assim eu ainda conseguia sair de casa e
me relacionar com as pessoas. Até que, então, aconteceu uma terceira coisa”,
disse Ranny com um olhar melancólico e com o rosto triste. Sua feição mudou e um
semblante de angústia e prostração transfigurou sua fisionomia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Acho que devo dobrar
nesta marca, certo, Lepo?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Exato, Ranny, esta é
a última dobradura; agora basta colar, mas antes vamos inserir as lentes”,
respondeu Lepo, coçando o rosto.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Eu só tenho dúvida sobre a posição das
lentes, Ranny, não sei se há uma lente é para o lado direito e a outra, para o
esquerdo, mas vamos tentar assim mesmo, se não der certo, a gente inverte.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Assim que o
dispositivo estava&amp;nbsp; pronto e bem
ajustado, Lepo fixou o celular nos encaixes e&amp;nbsp;
ajustou a engenhoca sobre o nariz e começou a exclamar em voz alta:
“Uau, uau, deu certo, cara, que da hora, que coisa extraordinária, parece mesmo
que a gente está lá dentro!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Deixa eu ver, deixa
eu ver, cara?”, entusiasmou-se Ranny com um brilho nos olhos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Espera, você precisa
instalar um programa no seu celular”, explicou Lepo, tomando o telefone móvel
de Ranny de suas mãos e já digitando várias palavras e apertando algumas teclas
com apenas os dois polegares e&amp;nbsp; com rapidez
inacreditável.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Pronto, Ranny, agora
pode olhar”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny ajustou o que
parecia ser uma caixa de papelão quadrada no rosto e começou a girar a cabeça
de um lado para o outro. Olhava para cima, para o chão, inclinava a cabeça
e&amp;nbsp; esquivava o corpo, como se estivesse
na iminência de ser atingido por algum artefato.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“É legal demais,
Lepo, que&amp;nbsp; extraordinário, que cenário
lindo! Parece ser uma casa abandonada ou um castelo! Olha só, cara, dá pra ver
um livro em cima de uma mesa! Olha, cara, lá fora tem um penhasco e um jardim!
Dá pra ver o mar&amp;nbsp; e um navio. Agora estou
dentro de uma nave espacial e dá pra ver os planetas e as galáxias. Cara,
passou um cometa bem pertinho da nave!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny e Lepo passaram
vários minutos estupefatos com o resultado e testando vários cenários virtuais,
quando Lepo colocou o experimento de volta no balcão e disse:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“É seu, Ranny, estou feliz
em saber&amp;nbsp; que você gostou e isso vai
deixar sua vida mais alegre.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Obrigado, Lepo, não
sei como agradecer, era isso que eu queria”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Mas qual foi a
terceira coisa que deixou você mais chateado, Ranny?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ranny engoliu seco e
tentava achar uma linha de raciocínio, enquanto prestava atenção nas orelhas
irrequietas de Lepo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Quando eu tinha uns
dezesseis anos, quase dezessete, eu ouvi falar que muitas Lebres estavam
deprimidas e tristes; muitas delas estavam se atirando num lago. Então eu
fiquei pensando nisso. Uma vez,&amp;nbsp; havia
escurecido e eu estava passando perto do lago, quando vi uma Lebre pensativa e
triste. Ela estava cabisbaixa a&amp;nbsp; abatida.
Então eu me aproximei e tentei conversar.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Lepo parou de mexer
as orelhas e se interessou no assunto. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Começamos conversar,
Lepo, e aquela Lebre estava disposta a pular no Lago: ela disse que a vida dela
estava confusa, que as coisas não davam certo para ela e que, por mais que ela
tentasse, parecia que sua vida estava encoberta por nuvens negras e densas e
que ela não podia entender mais nada nem raciocinar direito. Então ela disse
que só restava pular no lago e acabar com aquele sofrimento.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Lepo
continuava a ouvir atentamente cada detalhe.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Eu
falei com ela, fiz tudo que podia pra&amp;nbsp;
tentar tirar essa ideia da cabeça dela, mas ela estava irredutível.
Disse que já tinha tomado aquela decisão e que estava a ponto de desistir de
tudo. Então eu estendi minha mão e consegui a segurar pelo braço. Eu não sabia
o que fazer. Ela já estava com um pé em um precipício. Eu não conseguia mais
segurar o braço dela. Estava ficando cansado. Queria ter argumentos, queria
falar, queria ter mais forças para segurá-la. Eu só conseguia dizer&amp;nbsp; a ela: ‘Não tenha medo, não tenha medo,
amigo’, mas ela estava escorregando. Então eu me lembrei da letra de uma canção
muito bonita. Eu quis cantar para aquela lebre, mas minha voz estava sufocada,
pois eu estava nervoso e cansado. Então eu consegui falar um trecho da música,
mas eu não aguentei mais. Então meus braços estavam lisos e molhados e &amp;nbsp;ela &amp;nbsp;escapou das minhas mãos. Eu vi &amp;nbsp;seu corpo&amp;nbsp;
se revolvendo na água. Vi suas orelhas, com as pontas pretas, girando
num tipo de redemoinho e se afastando. Eu mergulhei na água,&amp;nbsp; tentei nadar, mas quando&amp;nbsp; tirei a cabeça para fora da água, ela já
tinha desaparecido naquele turbilhão de água, e eu a perdi de vista, quando estava
chegando perto da cachoeira.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;

ouvia tudo atentamente, com olhar de compaixão e os olhos marejados de
lágrimas.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Sabe,
Lepo, o que mais me dói nisso tudo é que eu me sinto culpado. Eu não era um
profissional e não sabia lidar com isso. Não deveria ter ido lá naquela noite.
Às vezes, fico pensando que deveria ter segurado&amp;nbsp; sua mão&amp;nbsp;
por mais um pouquinho, que deveria ter tido um pouco mais de força.
Outras vezes, fico pensando que eu deveria ter falado mais coisas, ou ouvido
mais.&amp;nbsp; Eu deixei o cara escapar, Lepo, e
ele se foi. Não sei nem o nome do cara. Nunca mais o vi. Ele deve ter caído na
cachoeira”, sentenciou Ranny, banhado em suor e trêmulo. Seu corpo estava tendo
espasmos musculares fortes, ele se esforçou para continuar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Às
vezes, fico imaginando que se eu tivesse o poder de andar sobre as águas, eu
teria ido atrás dele e o salvado.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;

não mais se conteve e começou a chorar compulsivamente.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;

Depois se&amp;nbsp; aproximou de Ranny e o segurou
pelas mãos. Ranny começou a chorar e se contorcer na cadeira. Chorava
amargamente e num tom alto.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;

quero te dizer uma coisa: você ajudou esse cara”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

se foi, Lepo, eu o vi sendo levado pela correnteza e sumir no escuro da noite.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

eu não consegui salvar o cara”, insistiu, agitando o corpo todo e se retorcendo
cada vez mais, “a água o levou”. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

deles. Já pensou se eles desistissem de tentar salvar os outros?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

você não pode caminhar sobre as águas, como Cristo, mas você se aproximou da

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; O
milagre de se aproximar das pessoas quando elas estão se sentindo nas trevas, o
milagre de conversar e falar com elas, o milagre de as encorajar para não terem
medo e o milagre de estender as mãos, Ranny, e você fez tudo isso”, &amp;nbsp;disse Lepo, apertando suas mãos firmemente.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Mas
eu não consegui salvar o cara, Lepo, eu fracassei, não adiantou nada.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;‘&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Você
conseguiu, sim Lepo, claro que conseguiu”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Como
você pode ter certeza disso”, indagou Ranny, tentando controlar os soluços e
chorando amargamente. Lágrimas cálidas rolavam de seus olhos inchados.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; “Como
você pode ter certeza?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Ranny,
relaxe, um pouco, tente se recostar na cadeira”, propôs Lepo, “fique com a
coluna reta e respire bem fundo, você vai ficar bem. Não tenha medo, cara, eu
estou aqui com você. Segure minha mão”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Quando
Lepo segurou Ranny pela mão, ele reviveu todo o episódio com a Lebre e perdeu o
controle total de seus sentimentos. Desta vez, ele &amp;nbsp;se atirou de bruços no chão e só conseguia
chorar. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Lepo
achou melhor não dizer nada e deixar que Ranny extravasasse seus sentimentos.
Depois de alguns minutos, Lepo retornou o diálogo e disse:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Ranny,
coloque uma mão no peito e outra no diafragma e respire bem. Vamos, cara,
respire bem profundamente. Agora prenda a respiração por alguns segundos e
exale bem de vagar. Você vai se sentir bem, cara, confie em mim, estou aqui com
você.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ranny&amp;nbsp; lentamente começou a se recuperar depois
desses momentos catárticos. Sua respiração parecia ter voltado ao normal e ele
sussurrou:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Eu
não consegui salvá-lo, eu não consegui salvá-lo, ele se foi...”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Ranny,
quero dizer mais uma coisa: você não teve medo e se aproximou daquela lembre
quando todas as outras rãs ficaram com medo e se afastaram”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ranny
o interrompeu mais uma vez e continuou:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;

não tive forças, eu não consegui, eu fracassei, ele se foi e eu não consegui
salvá-lo”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Conseguiu,
Ranny, você o salvou sim”, insistiu.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “E
como você pode estar tão certo disso. Lepo?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Porque a Lebre era eu, Ranny, aquela lebre a quem você estendeu a mão era eu.” Desta
vez foi &amp;nbsp;Lepo que começou a chorar sem
parar. “A lebre que você tentou salvar era eu...”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;

ficou emudecido e perplexo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “E
como você sabe que era eu?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Acho
que você consegue se lembrar da letra desta canção, Ranny”: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;‘Eu posso ver
claramente agora, a chuva passou. Posso ver todos os obstáculos na minha
frente. As nuvens negras que me cegavam se foram. “Será um brilhante dia de
sol”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Ranny olhou fixamente para as orelhas atentas de Lepo
para os seus olhos, e num gesto quase que automático, continuou citando a letra
da canção”:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Acho que
agora eu posso conseguir. A dor se foi. Todos os sentimentos ruins
desapareceram.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Em seguida, os dois recitaram em uníssono&amp;nbsp; a sequencia:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Eis o
arco-íris pelo qual eu rezava. Será um brilhante dia de sol!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Depois disso, ambos se abraçaram e choraram por longos
minutos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Os dois se sentiram aliviados. Era como se tivessem deixado verter todo&amp;nbsp; sentimento de
angustia, amargura e tristeza.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Lepo enxugou as lágrimas e ajeitou as mercadorias&amp;nbsp; e o óculos virtual de papelão que haviam
feitos numa embalagem bem bonita.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Quando Ranny estava para sair, o fez &amp;nbsp;se lembrar da coleção de figuras de ação e dos
bonecos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Ranny, agora estarei sempre aqui. Antes que você vá,
lembre-se de quando me disse para eu não ter medo. Agora quero que você pense
nisso também. Sei que com o tempo você vai ser capaz de vencer cada medo, mesmo
que isso leve algum tempinho”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Eu sei Lepo, mas você pode me acompanhar até minha
casa?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“Claro Ranny, eu vou estar sempre por perto para tudo
que precisar”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Assim que Lepo deixou Ranny na porta de sua casa, ele
entrou correndo para ver o resultado de suas pesquisas. Não viu nada de
extraordinário e já ia &amp;nbsp;dar tudo por
encerrado, quando se &amp;nbsp;lembrou de transliterar
as letras latinas para outros alfabetos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Depois&amp;nbsp; da
transliteração, o resultado da pesquisas forneceu várias ocorrências,
dentre&amp;nbsp; as quais uma chamou&amp;nbsp; a atenção de Ranny:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 35.4pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve been thinking to myself on how we have been trained to follow the social, political, educational standards, and how this leads to a boring life and without any creativity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate grades and evaluations; they are only worth to remind us that if we remain within the standards, protocols and rules, we will win a prize and be awarded with the first place. How cool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that the main purpose of schools is to create beings who know how to obey, to follow lines, timetables, deadlines ... all of that to arrive first and be an example of success (or what they think is successful), perhaps in a large multinational automobile company. But such spirit of competition does not take place only within the business framework; in art, &amp;nbsp;poetry, fashion, cinema, the protocols seem to be always the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worst of all is that it is not different in literature. If you don&#39;t follow the predefined script of protagonist x antagonist, following the classic recipe of a well balanced plot, full of tension, climax, crisis, symbolic death of the protagonist and the apparent triumph of the villain, and again, a symbolic resurrection of the protagonist, your story is rubbish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schools that encourage children, from an early age, to sit at a common table and share their notebooks, pencils, snacks and other materials are considered anarchic and a model that encourages the students&#39; rebellion, after all, life is hard and they need to be well trained for the first place and for the prize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people want to turn literature into a circus of horrors: they contemplate the rules suggested by the editors&#39; marketing, &amp;nbsp;and in this case, &amp;nbsp;saga style comes in handy to the spirit of the current competition. There are sites that purport to &quot;train&quot; new writers to lead them to the model dictated by the publishers themselves. Those who quickly learn to follow what the editors want as soon as possible will be in first place and earn some money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Now
imagine the following and cruel reasoning they use to &quot;help&quot; new
writers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;- First place (winner)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;- Second place (your story can be of &amp;nbsp;any help, may be to a kind publisher)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;- Try another story later (this is a polite way to say that you are &amp;nbsp;losing your time there and are not important for the publishers; maybe it is an
invitation to leave.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Now think with me for a while, instead of being a place of mutual help, like in the case of Piaget&#39;s children, those who are trying to improve their
writing skills will feel like garbage in &amp;nbsp;this competition environment.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;d rather stay with the screaming and defiance of the children &amp;nbsp;of Piaget’s New School. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prefer a rebel writer, whose largest source of inspiration is a restless and rebellious soul than abiding by the protocols developed by such virtual circles. I prefer the flow of consciousness and creativity stream like those from these two composers in the videos below, who does not need any comment, both with no great voice, but both revolutionary, transgressive and brilliant.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;My tribute to them:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Stay in your Little Boxes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;(or leave them quickly)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estive pensando com meus botões como somos treinados para seguir as formas sociais, políticas, educacionais e como isso nos leva a uma vida chata e sem criatividade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Odeio notas e avaliações; isto só serve para mostrar que se estivermos dentro das normas, protocolos e regras, ganharemos um prêmio e seremos contemplados com o primeiro lugar. Que legal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parece que o objetivo principal das escolas e criar seres que saibam obedecer, seguir filas, horários, prazos ... tudo isso para chegarem sempre em primeiro lugar e serem um exemplo de sucesso (ou o que eles acham que é sucesso), quem sabe numa grande multinacional da empresa automobilística.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas o espírito de competição também se dá apenas no âmbito empresarial; na arte, na poesia, na moda, no cinema, os protocolos parecem ser sempre os mesmos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O pior de tudo é que na literatura não é diferente. Se você não seguir o roteiro predefinido de protagonista x antagonista, seguindo a receita clássica de um enredo bem equilibrado, cheio de tensão, clímax, crise, morte simbólica do protagonista e aparente triunfo do vilão, e novamente, uma ressurreição simbólica do protagonista, sua estória é um lixo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Escolas que estimulam as crianças, desde cedo, a sentarem-se a uma mesa comum e trocarem cadernos, lápis, lanches e outros materiais são vistas como um modelo anárquico e que estimula a rebeldia dos alunos, afinal, a vida é dura e eles precisam ser bem treinadas para o primeiro lugar e para o prêmio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alguns querem fazer da literatura um circo dos horrores: contempla-se o padrão sugerido pelo marketing das editoras - o estilo saga vem bem a calhar com o espírito de competição atual. Há sites que se propõem a “treinar” novos escritores para levá-los ao modelo ditado pelas editoras. Quem aprender rápido a seguir o mais rápido possível o que os editores querem, fica em primeiro lugar e ganha uma graninha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Agora imagine o seguinte e raciocínio cruel que eles usam
para &quot;ajudar&quot; &amp;nbsp;os novos
escritores.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;- Primeiro lugar (vencedor) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;- Segundo lugar (sua história pode ter algum valor, &amp;nbsp;quem sabe &amp;nbsp;para um &amp;nbsp;editor bondoso)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;-Tente outra história mais tarde (isto é uma maneira educada
de dizer que você está perdendo seu &amp;nbsp;tempo
lá e não é importante para os editores; talvez seja um convite para sair. Agora
pense comigo por um momento, em vez de ser um lugar de ajuda mútua, como no caso
das crianças do Piage, aqueles que estão tentando melhorar suas habilidades de
escrita vão se sentir um lixo nesse ambiente de competição.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prefiro ficar com a gritaria e rebeldia das crianças da Nova Escola de Piaget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prefiro um escritor rebelde, cuja fonte maior de inspiração seja uma alma inquieta e rebelde, aos protocolos desenvolvidos por esses círculos virtuais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prefiro o fluxo da consciência e o fluxo de criatividade, à semelhança &amp;nbsp;dessas duas compositoras que dispensam qualquer comentário, ambas sem muita voz, mas ambas revolucionárias, transgressoras e geniais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minha homenagem a elas: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;One of the most difficult tasks for a translator
is the translation of poetry.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Since the translator, in most cases is not a
poet, such an activity becomes almost impossible.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Translating poetry is a stowage task, and if the
translator dares to tread down this slippery slope, he or she should keep in
mind that he or she will face huge obstacles, such as finding the rhythm of the
sentences, the rhymes, the strongest syllables...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Translating poetry is like recreating a dance,
a football game, an ornamental jump. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;How can a limited and sedentary translator reproduce
a Pele’s goal, a Michael Jackson’s dance or a Michael Jordan’s throw?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Translating poetry is like shattering
Michelangelo’s David and rebuild it from the shards. It is like tearing Leonardo
da Vinci’s Mona Lisa down and trying to reuse the same ink and the same canvas,
however without his brilliant spirit. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Poetry is like a beating heart.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Allan Edgar Poe is one of those geniuses of
literature, whose poems are filled with rhythms and onomatopoeic resources.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Translating his poems is a dilemma. Translating
merely the words is not translating anything at all, and trying to find the
same rhythm, the same beat, the same sound resources Poe lands the words is a
frustrating attempt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;When I finished to translate Allan
Edgar Poe’s poem, “The Bells” into Portuguese, I felt exhausted, frustrated and
ashamed by the result, which you can check &amp;nbsp;below, if you have patience
with my transcreation (a euphemism I use for deconstruction). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

video with the narration in Portuguese and share with you – which is another hard
work, since I am not an actor either&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

be a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Uma das tarefas mais difíceis
para um tradutor é traduzir poesias.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Como o tradutor, na
maior parte dos casos, não é poeta, torna-se uma atividade quase impossível.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Traduzir poesias é uma tarefa de
estiva, e se o tradutor ousar a trilhar esse caminho traiçoeiro, deve ter em
mente que enfrentará obstáculos gigantescos, tais como encontrar o ritmo das
frases, as rimas, as sílabas mais fortes... &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Traduzir poesias é como recriar uma
dança, um jogo de futebol, um salto ornamental.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Como um tradutor limitado e
sedentário poderia reproduzir um gol do Pelé, os passos de Michael Jackson, um
arremesso de Michael Jordan?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Traduzir uma poesia e como
arrebentar o David de Michelangelo e o reconstruir a partir dos cacos. É como
rasgar a Monalisa de Leonardo da Vinci e tentar reutilizar as mesmas tintas e a
mesma tela, porém, sem o seu espírito genial. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Uma poesia é como um coração que
pulsa.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Allan Edgar Poe é um desses
gênios da literatura, cujos poemas são repletos de ritmos e recursos
onomatopeicos. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Traduzir suas poesias é um
dilema. Traduzir as palavras meramente não é traduzir nada absolutamente, e
tentar encontrar o mesmo ritmo, a mesma cadência, os mesmos recursos sonoros,
que Poe empresta às palavras, é uma tentativa frustrante.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Quando terminei de traduzir para
o português o poema “The Bells”, de Allan Edgar Poe, me senti exaurido,
frustrado e envergonhado com o resultado, que você pode conferir abaixo, se
tiver paciência com a minha trascriação (eufemismo que uso para desconstrução).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Num futuro próximo, pretendo gravar um vídeo
com a narração em português e o compartilhar com vocês– outra tarefa árdua,
pois também não sou ator.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Talvez a melhor palavra para este
esforço seja apenas um “exercício de transcriação”, e é assim que desejo chamá-lo!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Keeping time, time, time,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In a sort of Runic rhyme,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bells, bells, bells—&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Que fluxos de eufonia aquele volume tem!&lt;br /&gt;
Como crescem!&lt;br /&gt;
Como dizem&lt;br /&gt;
Do futuro! Como exprimem&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dos prazeres que impelem&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ao tilintar e ao soar&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dos sinos, blem, blem, blem,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dos sinos, blem, blem, blem, blem,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Blem, blem, blem—&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ao rimar e ao tilintar que dos sinos vêm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Courier New&#39;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Courier New&#39;; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Brazen bells!&lt;br /&gt;
What tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells!&lt;br /&gt;
In the startled ear of night&lt;br /&gt;
How they scream out their affright!&lt;br /&gt;
Too much horrified to speak,&lt;br /&gt;
They can only shriek, shriek,&lt;br /&gt;
Out of tune,&lt;br /&gt;
In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire,&lt;br /&gt;
In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire,&lt;br /&gt;
Leaping higher, higher, higher,&lt;br /&gt;
With a desperate desire,&lt;br /&gt;
And a resolute endeavor&lt;br /&gt;
Now—now to sit or never,&lt;br /&gt;
By the side of the pale-faced moon.&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, the bells, bells, bells!&lt;br /&gt;
What a tale their terror tells&lt;br /&gt;
Of Despair!&lt;br /&gt;
How they clang, and clash, and roar!&lt;br /&gt;
What a horror they outpour&lt;br /&gt;
On the bosom of the palpitating air!&lt;br /&gt;
Yet the ear, it fully knows,&lt;br /&gt;
By the twanging,&lt;br /&gt;
And the clanging,&lt;br /&gt;
How the danger ebbs and flows;&lt;br /&gt;
Yet, the ear distinctly tells,&lt;br /&gt;
In the jangling,&lt;br /&gt;
And the wrangling,&lt;br /&gt;
How the danger sinks and swells,&lt;br /&gt;
By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells—&lt;br /&gt;
Of the bells—&lt;br /&gt;
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,&lt;br /&gt;
Bells, bells, bells—&lt;br /&gt;
In the clamour and the clangour of the bells!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

De bronze, são os sinos!&lt;br /&gt;
Que conto de terror anuncia a turbulência dos sinos!&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Aos ouvidos da noite, apavorados,&lt;br /&gt;
Como gritam, desesperados&lt;br /&gt;
Horrorizados demais para falar, pois que temem&lt;br /&gt;
Somente gemem, gemem,&lt;br /&gt;
Fora do tom,&lt;br /&gt;
Num apelo clamoroso à misericórdia do fogo,&lt;br /&gt;
Numa negação louca das chamas moucas e abissais,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Que crepitam mais, e mais, e mais,&lt;br /&gt;
Em volúpias colossais,&lt;br /&gt;
E num esforço resoluto&lt;br /&gt;
Agora—sentar-se agora ou jamais,&lt;br /&gt;
Sob a luz pálida da lua.&lt;br /&gt;
Ah, os sinos, blem, blem, blem!&lt;br /&gt;
Que conto de terror e desespero exprimem!&lt;br /&gt;
Como, gritam, e soam, e bradam!&lt;br /&gt;
Que horror eles destilam&lt;br /&gt;
No seio do ar palpitante!&lt;br /&gt;
Mas, os ouvidos conhecem bem,&lt;br /&gt;
Que quando tilintam,&lt;br /&gt;
E quando dobram,&lt;br /&gt;
O perigo ronda e vem,&lt;br /&gt;
Mas os ouvidos conhecem bem,&lt;br /&gt;
Que quando ressoam,&lt;br /&gt;
E quando rangem,&lt;br /&gt;
O perigo se acerca e vem&lt;br /&gt;
Pelo balouçar ou oscilar da ira&lt;br /&gt;
que os sinos têm—&lt;br /&gt;
Que os sinos têm—&lt;br /&gt;
Que os sinos têm, blem, blem, blem, blém&lt;br /&gt;
Blem, blem, blem—&lt;br /&gt;
No clamor e no clangor que sustêm!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Iron bells!&lt;br /&gt;
What a world of solemn thought their monody compels!&lt;br /&gt;
In the silence of the night,&lt;br /&gt;
How we shiver with affright&lt;br /&gt;
At the melancholy meaning of their tone!&lt;br /&gt;
For every sound that floats&lt;br /&gt;
From the rust within their throats&lt;br /&gt;
Is a groan.&lt;br /&gt;
And the people—ah, the people—&lt;br /&gt;
They that dwell up in the steeple,&lt;br /&gt;
All alone,&lt;br /&gt;
And who, tolling, tolling, tolling,&lt;br /&gt;
In that muffled monotone,&lt;br /&gt;
Feel a glory in so rolling&lt;br /&gt;
On the human heart a stone—&lt;br /&gt;
They are neither man nor woman—&lt;br /&gt;
They are neither brute nor human—&lt;br /&gt;
They are Ghouls:—&lt;br /&gt;
And their king it is who tolls;&lt;br /&gt;
And he rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls,&lt;br /&gt;
Rolls&lt;br /&gt;
A pæan from the bells!&lt;br /&gt;
And his merry bosom swells&lt;br /&gt;
With the pæan of the bells!&lt;br /&gt;
And he dances, and he yells;&lt;br /&gt;
Keeping time, time, time,&lt;br /&gt;
In a sort of Runic rhyme,&lt;br /&gt;
To the pæan of the bells—&lt;br /&gt;
Of the bells:&lt;br /&gt;
Keeping time, time, time,&lt;br /&gt;
In a sort of Runic rhyme,&lt;br /&gt;
To the throbbing of the bells—&lt;br /&gt;
Of the bells, bells, bells—&lt;br /&gt;
To the sobbing of the bells;&lt;br /&gt;
Keeping time, time, time,&lt;br /&gt;
As he knells, knells, knells,&lt;br /&gt;
In a happy Runic rhyme,&lt;br /&gt;
To the rolling of the bells—&lt;br /&gt;
Of the bells, bells, bells—&lt;br /&gt;
To the tolling of the bells,&lt;br /&gt;
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells—&lt;br /&gt;
Bells, bells, bells--&lt;br /&gt;
To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

De ferro, são os sinos!&lt;br /&gt;
A pensamentos solenes nos compele a monodia dos sinos!&lt;br /&gt;
No silêncio do fim do dia,&lt;br /&gt;
O tremor nos angustia&lt;br /&gt;
Pela melancolia expressa em seu tom!&lt;br /&gt;
Para os sons que se esvaem&lt;br /&gt;
Que de suas gargantas enferrujadas saem&lt;br /&gt;
Há um gemido.&lt;br /&gt;
E os seres—ah, os seres—&lt;br /&gt;
Esses que moram nos campanários,&lt;br /&gt;
Tão solitários,&lt;br /&gt;
A clamar, a clamar, a clamar,&lt;br /&gt;
Num tom abafado&lt;br /&gt;
Sentem a glória ao rolar&lt;br /&gt;
No coração humano uma pedra—&lt;br /&gt;
Não são homens, esses insanos—&lt;br /&gt;
Não são mulheres, nem humanos—&lt;br /&gt;
São espíritos carniçais:—&lt;br /&gt;
E o seu rei é quem gira;&lt;br /&gt;
E ele vira, vira, vira, vira,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Vira&lt;br /&gt;
O carrilhão que os sinos têm!&lt;br /&gt;
E seus lábios famintos se abrem&lt;br /&gt;
Com o carrilhão que os sinos têm&lt;br /&gt;
E ele dança, e ele vem;&lt;br /&gt;
Marcando a hora, a hora, a hora,&lt;br /&gt;
Numa rima rúnica sonora,&lt;br /&gt;
Com o carrilhão que os sinos têm—&lt;br /&gt;
Que os sinos têm:&lt;br /&gt;
Marcando a hora, a hora, a hora,&lt;br /&gt;
Numa rima rúnica sonora,&lt;br /&gt;
No ritmo que os sinos têm—&lt;br /&gt;
Os sinos têm, blem, blem, blem,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ao som lamentoso que os sinos têm;&lt;br /&gt;
Marcando a hora, a hora, a hora,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Enquanto chama, chama, chama,&lt;br /&gt;
Numa rima rúnica sonora,&lt;br /&gt;
Enquanto os sinos gemem—&lt;br /&gt;
Os sinos gemem, blem, blem, blem—&lt;br /&gt;
Enquanto os sinos dobram,&lt;br /&gt;
Os sinos dobram, blem, blem, blem, blem—&lt;br /&gt;
Blem, blem, blem,—&lt;br /&gt;
Ao lamento e o gemido que os sinos têm.&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;I think Jim is that type
of foreigner who becomes Brazilian within a week time; he told me he has a
Brazilian flag and enjoyed the mantra &quot;Ordem e Progresso&quot;.&amp;nbsp;I
told him&amp;nbsp; I was sorry for not being a
soccer player, but I would &amp;nbsp;drink a “caipirinha”
with him when he visits Brazil to make up for that.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Foi um privilégio enorme para mim traduzir este texto maravilhoso sobre
autores portugueses/brasileiros para o meu amigo britânico Jim M, que é um
amante da literatura.&amp;nbsp; Jim M rapidamente
entendeu o jeito brasileiro e português de escrever quando ele inteligentemente
percebeu &amp;nbsp;o assim chamado &amp;nbsp;fluxo de consciência, cuja mais notável
escritora neste estilo é nossa queridíssima Clarice Linspector.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Eu desconfio &amp;nbsp;que Jim é aquele tipo de estrangeiro que se
torna brasileiro dentro de uma &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;semana; Ele me disse que tem uma bandeira do
Brasil e gosta&amp;nbsp; do mantra &quot;Ordem e
Progresso&quot;. Eu disse a ele &amp;nbsp;que
lamentava por não ser um jogador de futebol, mas beberia uma
&quot;caipirinha&quot; com ele quando ele visitar o Brasil para compensar. Jim
tem um blog muito útil, onde ele dá dicas maravilhosas de literatura, e cujo
link você pode seguir &lt;a href=&quot;http://sevenseasonsstories.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/top-5-portuguese-language-authors-of.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;aqui&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Por favor, queiram dar as boas vindas ao meu amigo, Gilson Marcon de Souza, que é das praias do Brasil e um escritor e tradutor de língua portuguesa, mas que está expandindo seus horizontes para escrever também em inglês. Ele muito gentilmente se ofereceu para traduzir um post para mim. Isto significa que hoje todas as traduções são por conta dele; assim você não precisa confiar em minhas tentativas desonestas!

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; line-height: 42.6666717529297px;&quot;&gt;Today we look at two countries, Portugal and Brazil. Portugal began colonising Brazil from the 16&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;Century and today they still share a language although the literature from Brazil has shifted towards a more traditional Brazilian style since they gained independence from Portugal in 1822.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; line-height: 42.6666717529297px;&quot;&gt;Hoje, vamos ver dois países, Portugal e Brasil. Portugal começou a colonizar o Brasil no século XVI, e hoje ainda compartilham o mesmo idioma, embora a literatura do Brasil tenha se deslocado para um estilo brasileiro mais tradicional, desde que conquistou sua independência de Portugal em 1822&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; line-height: 42.6666717529297px;&quot;&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; line-height: 42.6666717529297px;&quot;&gt;They both incorporate flair and passion into their writings. This practice started from the classical early European poetry but branched into modern realism after the Renaissance. They are also fond of using internal thought with meaningful personal progression in their protagonists. I always envisage Portugal and Brazil as countries of exquisite natural beauty where the sun never sets and there’s always a carnival or game of beasal to be had but there is a deeper world just waiting to be discovered though their wonderful novels.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; line-height: 42.6666717529297px;&quot;&gt;Ambos incorporam bossa e paixão em sua literatura. Essa prática teve início a partir da poesia clássica europeia, mas ramificou-se para o realismo moderno depois do Renascimento. Também, gostam muito de usar o pensamento interno com uma progressão pessoal significativa em seus protagonistas. Eu sempre via Portugal e Brasil como países de rara beleza natural, onde o sol nunca se põe e há sempre carnaval ou um jogo de futebol de areia rolando, porém há um universo mais profundo esperando para ser descoberto por meio de seus maravilhosos romances.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;It was the height of spring, but no one dared to give
any hint about how the day was going to be like.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sometimes the
scorching heat whipped whoever dared to spend some time under the scalding sun, sometimes the fog and the cold drizzle could easily convince those who
were not very accustomed to that typical weather changes of the season that it
was still winter.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;This was not a hindrance for John Oven Bird to keep on
his hard work. Neither the hot sun, nor the cold drizzle, nor the
torrential rain, nor the thick fog, nor the strong wind were obstacles to
dissuade him from his constant toil and his &amp;nbsp;dedicated task to finish his
new house as soon as possible, which, by the way, could be considered his
masterpiece.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Not that his previous buildings had been made without
any steps or in a sloppy way, but the experience has helped him to work more
skillfully, carefully and hard.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The chamber he had made inside his nest to prevent the
blasts of the hostile winds was the greatest evidence of his architectural
knowledge, intelligence and skill.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;He was a dedicated, tireless, obdurate laborer, who
was not intimidated by the difficulties or adversities. Smart and bright,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;he knew how to turn the difficulties
into opportunities and carefully watched all the details ahead and always
managed to get some practical solution to an unexpected problem.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;The intense
heat was enough to gather in the sky, which was clear and light just a moment
before, a thick layer of black clouds that soon began to pour a torrent of
water like never before in that afternoon.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;When that entire downpour finished, the strong winds
gradually recessed until they were turned into a smooth, refreshing evening
breeze.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;John could not miss even a second:&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;he then flicked his wings covered with
reddish-brown feathers, puffed out his chest and curled his brownish eyebrows
of smooth contours. His attentive gaze searched the surrounding terrain, and
after a precise flight, he rose to the top, circled the perimeter of his new
nest, made &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;​​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt; some stunts and air evolutions&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;​​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;to perfec&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;tion&amp;nbsp;and landed t next to a thick mud puddle and then tried to
harvest with his beak an abundant acorn of clay he had smashed with his &amp;nbsp;feet. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Then he flew back to lay the ultimate portion of wet
clay on the top of his nest. He sighed and watched everything, checking every
detail, every aspect of his exquisite dwelling place with full attention.
However, he decided he still needed to strengthen the structure of the external
walls with some more straw, which he immediately did and without any loss of
time.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Though he had finished the construction of one more
house, John felt distressed. Whenever he finished a work like that, he felt
satisfied, happy and ready for another one. But this time, he did not feel
particularly accomplished when he finished that impressive architecture. On the
contrary, he felt distressed. An enormous emptiness took possession of his
melancholic chest... A sticky sadness, an atrocious despair, a sense of dismay,
misery, desolation, abandonment...&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;He felt his chest &amp;nbsp;compressed and a lump in his
throat. Two shy tears emerged from his sad eyes and soon swelled, until they
became a warm, although restrained, cry.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;John was not a shy bird; on the contrary, he was
accessible to everyone and was never seen far from his nest. However, he had
already decided to visit Professor Glaucy at any cost. Perhaps she could help him
to clear his obscure thoughts.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;He decided he would see her, even if he had to fly a
long distance and move farther away from his nest.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;That is what he
did: he pondered everything, thought about the danger of flying at dusk, about
the possibility of another storm, since the dark sky heralded more rain again.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;He needed to go; he needed a direction, a word of
advice, some light, an expanded view and a fresh conscience.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Deep inside John was a little afraid of professor
Glaucy. He did not know her personally, but the information he had about her
was contradictory. Some considered her a very wise and fair person, some
considered her someone who could see things in a broad and comprehensive
perspective, some others, that she had the gift of clairvoyance and could
reveal hidden secrets and knowledge. Still, others considered her a charlatan
psychic and a real predator.&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;But
all of them were united by holding her an extremely sinister and mysterious
person.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;That did not matter.&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;He
had already decided. John made up his mind to go anyway, no matter what. He
could not live with that anguish anymore and needed to clarify everything.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;He already felt prepared. He looked at the vastness of
the sky and thoroughly evaluated on how he should trace his flight path. Never
had he flown to such a distant place. He figured out that soon it was going to
get dark. Never had he flown at nightfall, so he decided to be as careful and
meticulous as possible.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;John has always been very methodical in everything he
does. Evaluating, weighing, calculating, anticipating results has always been
part of his routine. Before he started flying, he drew a mental route of how
his risky flight should be. He thought it would be better to fly in
stages, landing in specific places to rest and reassess the flight conditions
and then go farther.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;His mind map included a nearby post, then an old and
full-bodied tree, the old weathered eucalyptus, the majestic kapok, the
graceful tibouchina, and finally the top of the tallest mountain. Afterwards,
he would go for flyby straight to the attic of an abandoned shack.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;He knew that the last stage of his path would be the
most difficult one because there would be no lights beyond the mountain. The
opposite side of the hill was plunged&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;into&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;deep darkness, and at that point he
knew he should totally rely on his mental map. He would fly almost at random,
blindly, and could not deviate an inch from the mental line he had imagined.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;So he did. Everything had gone exactly as he had&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;planned: each stop, each predetermined point…&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Although he had calculated all possible
details and anticipated every strategic stop, he was &amp;nbsp;wrong about the
twilight time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;John had
calculated this detail precisely, but he could not know beforehand that, due to
the formation of a new storm, thick clouds would cover the weak sunlight
earlier than expected, casting the slope on the other side of the mountain into
thick darkness ahead of time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;At that point he had to hurry up. He was
afraid at that moment, but he closed his eyes , took a deep breath and
dived in a bold and courageous immersion. He broke through the thick darkness
as fast&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;as he could&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;a jump in a sea of thick darkness in
which he was supposed to sale until he could reach his desired target.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;He could feel the wind buzzing against his ears, and
the raindrops seemed small debris thrown at his face. The only time he opened
his eyes was when the flash and &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 57.5999984741211px;&quot;&gt;the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 57.5999984741211px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 57.5999984741211px;&quot;&gt;bang&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 57.5999984741211px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 57.5999984741211px;&quot;&gt;of a fiery thinderbolt&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;frightened him&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;. His body seemed to have lost stability, both because of the
scare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;of the lightning bang and the power of
the contrary wind. Anyway, this incident saved him, because as he opened up his
eyes, the lightning flashes were enough to light up the entire mountainside and
the valley floor far below. It was not difficult to see the attic and thus
correct his oblique route.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Finally, he managed to land just a few feet from the
entrance of his destination.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;John shook his wet wings and took a deep breath. His
heart was still beating in an accelerated fashion. He bounced a little and did
not want to waste any time; he just wanted to get into that attic which, though
dark, was the only &amp;nbsp;haven from the heavy rain.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;After breaking into with his beak, he took a few
hesitant steps. The inner darkness seemed to be even denser than the black
night outside. A heavy and suffocating air enveloped him. The lighting flashes,
on occasion, allowed him to see, for fractions of seconds, that it was a dusty
place with exposed mislaid bricks, and a thick layer of dust on the floor.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;He did not know if his mind had played a trick on him,
but he could swear he had seen an inverted cross hanging on a wall. He did not
allow himself to be led by a quick judgment and decided to check it better when
the glare of the next lightning cast some more light on that corner. Maybe his
mind had tricked him somehow,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;but
did not fail to be attentive&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;waiting
for the next flash. Perhaps it was part of the roof structure, whose oblong
shadow had created the illusion of an inverted cross.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Fear had taken hold of his whole being. He was more
afraid in that place than when he was flying. He crouched in a corner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;“Where is Professor Glaucy?” he wondered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Suddenly,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;John
heard what seemed to be a scream behind him&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;a
terrifying roar. It was like the cry of
a woman being stabbed: a cry of horror, a scream&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;of despair and intense pain. John was
terrified and thought about leaving that place. He turned his face back to see
where that grunt of distress was coming from. At that moment,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;he had the most terrifying vision he
could ever remember in his whole life&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;he
could see the most amazing scene in the opposite corner; the figure of a being bigger than himself, whose huge open wings pushed the flow of that thick
and dusty air against his face. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;John strived to look better and his heart almost
stopped beating when he saw a middle-aged owl turning her head back&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;without even moving an inch of her
body. It seemed he was watching a classic scene of a horror movie.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;“How can she possibly turn her head back completely
without moving her body?” he wondered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;John pulled himself away and tripped over a loose
piece of wood on the floor. A longer lightning gushed light on the face of a
brown owl and John could see his own image projected on those huge yellowish
eyes. John could see himself reflected in the eyes of Professor Glaucy and was
startled all the more when he saw his own image moving deep inside her eyes.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“So you came”, said the owl in a lower pitch. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;“Please,
pardon me, but I scared you. I knew you would come and was already waiting.”&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Professor Glaucy tried to be more welcoming and
invited John Oven Bird to move to a lighter place.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Sorry, John, the intense light dims my vision a bit,
but let us accommodate in a clearer place so that we can talk.”&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Professor Glaucy was a stout owl with brown feathers,
a sharp beak and huge sparkling eyes. She was able to suddenly change her
appearance from a long and frowning face to the smoothest and gentlest countenance one can imagine. Sometimes,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;her
expression was frightening to any mortal, but when she undid her stern frown
she could unveil&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;an affable and
friendly visage, able to win the heart of the most distrustful child with the
strongest demonstration of affection, friendship and empathy. She seemed to
feel what people felt.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;It was with that look of tenderness and compassion
that she received John Oven Bird, which meant that, despite the initial shock,
he soon calmed down and felt welcomed and safer.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“How do you know who I am and that I would come?” John
asked, a little curious.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0.1in 0.0001pt 0.2in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.6in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Well,” said the owl, swaying from one side to the
other, “first let&#39;s set formalities aside.”&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Professor Glaucy teaches Analysis of Speeches in a
Linguistics course; she was also graduated in philosophy and pedagogy, but she
likes to analyze the speeches the way people speak in their everyday lives. She
did not like to speak very much, rather she enjoyed observing people and
listening to them all the time. She thought the best way to make people
discover things still is like the old Socrates taught, that is:&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;let they give birth to their ideas and
findings themselves. With this method,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;she
made people bring to light things hidden deep inside their mind.&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;So, people wondered she might be part
of the occult. No such thing. She just helped people to see the world and
themselves better, and she did so with little intervention and by means of a
question or another, but she always liked to tell a story at the end of the
conversation.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Don&#39;t call me madam and don&#39;t bother to speak
correctly, but I know you would come because your friend Luc said you might
come to talk to me.”&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;John felt more comfortable to be excused to try to
excel to speak correctly;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;however, he showed a visible look of sadness and disappointment when she mentioned his
friend&#39;s name. John tried to hide himself and covered his face with one of his
wings as he bowed his head a little to try to conceal his red eyes and a
lonesome tear.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

spoke good things about you, madam, I mean... about you...” He corrected
himself, already feeling more at ease.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“So feel at home,” the owl insisted with a soft and
tender voice.&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;“Why don&#39;t you sit
back?” she&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;added, pointing
to a more ventilated area and closer to a window, which allowed some moonlight
to enter, since the storm had ended as suddenly as it had begun.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“But what brings you here?” she asked as she bent her

because of Luc; he left me very disappointed and sad. I could never imagine he
was so ungrateful and cruel.”&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

soon as I met him,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I was very impressed with his voice.
When I saw him sing, it was the most beautiful voice I&#39;ve ever heard in my
entire life. I was mesmerized by that voice and that way of singing. As I
approached, I saw that it was a small&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;nightingale. Because of the distance,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I could not tell apart if it was a
male or female bird at first sight. He had a rather androgynous appearance.
People were somewhat &amp;nbsp;confused with that. So I approached to hear him better.
When he sang, everyone was enraptured. Luc could sing for more than two hours
on end without repeating the same sequence. He was a bird with brown reddish
feathers.&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;He sang in a high but
sweet tone. He could produce a huge variety of trills and chirps in a crescendo
that led everybody to a real ecstasy. But sometimes, his songs seemed a sad moaning,
especially when he sang a bluegrass song&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

opportunity to hear him sing,” Professor Glaucy remembered, “but I remember
seeing him sing in the park. And you&#39;re right, he liked to sing for dating
couples and was even happier when&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;he saw people happy than when someone
gave him some contribution”, she added. “We talked a few times and I could tell
he was a kind, sincere and delicate bird,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;although

Glaucy, in the parish tower. But one day he was very upset because he was
hungry. Then he entered&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;the

shooed him from there. He felt shooed away. The church people said he should
never eat the Lord&#39;s Holy Supper bread because he was unworthy. Only good
Christians, with a clear conscience and without sin,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in communion with the church, could

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“He was upset because he was hungry and no longer could eat
the church bread. Then he stopped singing in the church not only because of
this business of having eaten the bread, but because he wanted to sing along
with the people and could not. He saw all that beautiful celebration, all those
beautiful songs, all those people singing. He wanted to join that happiness,
that joy, but he felt set aside. They said that was not food for birds,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and therefore he was not allowed to eat. So he did not feel included. Some people felt compassion for him and gave
him a piece of bread on the sly and he reciprocated by singing a&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;bluegrass&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;song he loved to sing:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;John released some air from his lungs, after taking a

he sang in the park&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in exchange for some tips. Somehow,

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Because Luc is kind of naïve for business
and ended up signing a contract that was not very favorable for him. You know,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;he had no patience to read those tiny
letters. They promised him&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;the
moon, but when he realized he had to do all by himself&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;you know, &amp;nbsp;advertisements, promotion of

since he didn&#39;t like to deal with these things, because he really wanted to sing,
sing, sing...&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Anyway,&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;little money was left. Then&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;he was mixed up and failed to pay some
taxes in order to save some money for food. Then he realized he was feeling
stuck. We&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;talked about that, and
he was really disappointed because&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;he
was feeling like a slave. He even wanted to go back and sing in the park for
tips again because he felt more accomplished and free there and because he
earned more money there than he could get in the nightclub.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;don&#39;t work and just want to live off the sweat of others,” he got off his
chest.&amp;nbsp;“So I told Luc I could sell that house and help him to pay his
debts and cancel the contract that was trapping him. Luc was thoughtful,
wondering how he would go on singing. So I told him to relax and suggested that
he do &amp;nbsp;shows. He thought hard and enjoyed

said I didn&#39;t sing well, but I could try to help him. I asked what he was
thinking about and he said he wanted to sing yodel or bluegrass. Luc was a
little unease with the help and&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;said
he would only accept it as a loan and&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;provided
he could pay me back later on; he didn&#39;t want anything for free. So I told him
he could pay me back as soon as we got some money. He thought the proposal was
reasonable. Luc was very happy and he didn&#39;t not know how to thank me. Then we
began to compare notes, make plans, and I suggested that we buy clothes and
equipment. I also suggested that we sing the so called Brazilian College
Country and Brazilian Pop Songs; I said yodel and Bluegrass were very regional
styles and not well known. Luc argued that College Country was also regional,
but I reminded him about the worldwide success of Michel Teló and Gusttavo Lima.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

arrived he saw the most beautiful singing birds. He saw birds with the most
glittering feathers. All were imprisoned in a very large cage. But&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;there in the corner there was a sick
bird, with not many feathers, with a broken beak, hurt and abandoned.&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Then the rich man wanted to buy him.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

“everyone was wondering why he wanted to buy that injured, weak bird, a languid
bird, sick and almost dying, but he bought the bird anyway. Afterwards, the
bird wanted to know why&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;he did
that. He said:&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;John fumbled; he seemed to have fallen into a semantic
trap he himself had created. He blushed and was confused and ashamed for being
hasty, but the predominant feeling was anger. John got angry and took a
decisive step toward Professor Glaucy, but he realized that the owl was &amp;nbsp;bigger than him and held his momentum. The sun was already rising. John looked
into the eyes of Professor Glaucy and saw his reflection there again. He saw
himself as he really was in her eyes. John wanted to peck her, beat her, but he
saw his real size reflected in her eyes and was afraid. Not so much because of
the owl&#39;s size, but because of his puny reflection on her retina and thought he
should not have such boldness. He thought he was bigger than he really was, but
he saw his actual size reflected in that owl&#39;s staring eyes. Deep inside John
did not know if he wanted to punch the owl or annihilate that shy and tiny
image reflected in those mysterious eyes.&amp;nbsp; Then he wished to run away, to
leave the heavy and oppressive environment. He did not know whether he wanted
to escape from the presence of the owl or from himself. He felt small and flat.
So he said goodbye, blinded by rage&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

or a prophecy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Já era o
auge da primavera, todavia ninguém se arriscava a &amp;nbsp;dar palpite algum sobre
como seria o dia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Ora o calor
escaldante fustigava quem quer que se atrevesse a passar algum tempo sob o sol
abrasador, ora a neblina e a garoa frias poderiam convencer facilmente os menos
acostumados com as variações climáticas típicas da estação de que ainda parecia
ser inverno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Isso não era empecilho algum para que João de Barro continuasse seu labor
árduo. Nem o sol tórrido, nem a garoa álgida, nem a chuva torrencial, nem a
neblina espessa, nem o vento forte eram obstáculos para demovê-lo de sua labuta
constante e aferrada tarefa de terminar o mais rápido possível sua nova moradia
que, diga-se de passagem, poderia ser considerada sua obra-prima.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Não que suas construções anteriores tivessem sido feitas sem nenhuma diligência
ou de modo desleixado, mas a experiência o ajudou a trabalhar com mais
destreza, cuidado e afinco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
A câmara que fizera no interior de seu ninho para impedir a corrente de ventos
hostis era a maior evidência de seus conhecimentos arquitetônicos, inteligência
e habilidade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Trabalhador dedicado, incansável, obstinado, não se deixava intimidar pelas
dificuldades ou adversidades. Inteligente e brilhante, sabia transformar
intempéries em oportunidades e observava cuidadosamente todos os detalhes à
&amp;nbsp;sua frente e sempre conseguia arranjar alguma solução prática para algum
problema inesperado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
O calor intenso foi suficiente para agrupar no céu, há instantes límpido e
claro, espessas nuvens negras, que não tardaram a despejar, naquela tarde, uma
torrente de água como há muito não se via.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Terminado todo aquele aguaceiro, aos poucos os ventos fortes foram minguando,
até se converterem numa suave e revigorante brisa de fim de tarde.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
João não podia perder um segundo sequer: sacolejou as asas, recobertas de penas
marrom-avermelhadas, estufou bem o peito amarronzado e encrespou as
sobrancelhas de suaves contornos. Seus olhos atentos e fixos vasculharam o
terreno ao redor e, depois de alçar um voo preciso, elevou-se ao alto,
circundou o perímetro do novo ninho, realizou com perfeição algumas acrobacias
e evoluções aéreas e pousou bem ao lado de uma poça de lama espessa, &amp;nbsp;e
logo tratou de colher, com o bico, uma farta bolota de barro que havia amassado
com os próprios pés.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Em seguida, voou de volta para assentar a derradeira porção de barro molhado no
topo do ninho. Suspirou e observou tudo, conferindo cada detalhe,
supervisionando cada aspecto da sua primorosa moradia com a máxima atenção, mas
decidiu que ainda precisava reforçar a estrutura das paredes externas com mais
um pouco de palha, o que fez imediatamente e sem perda alguma de tempo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Apesar de
dar por encerrada a construção de mais uma moradia, João se sentia angustiado.
Sempre que terminava uma obra como essa, se sentia realizado, feliz e pronto
para outra. Mas, desta vez, o término da imponente arquitetura não o fez se
sentir particularmente realizado. Ao contrário, sentia-se angustiado. Um vazio
ingente tomou posse de seu peito melancólico... Uma tristeza pegajosa, um desalento
atroz, um sentimento de consternação, desesperança, desolação, abandono...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Sentia o peito comprimido e um nó na garganta. Duas tímidas lágrimas
despontaram de seus olhos tristes e logo se avolumaram, até se transformarem
num choro cálido, embora contido.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
João não era um pássaro arisco, ao contrário, era acessível a todos e nunca era
visto muito longe de seu ninho. Porém, já estava assentado em seu coração o
desejo de visitar a professora Glaucy a qualquer custo. Talvez ela pudesse
ajudá-lo e desanuviar seus pensamentos obscuros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Já havia decidido que iria vê-la, mesmo que para isso tivesse de voar uma longa
distância e afastar-se muito de seu ninho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Foi assim que fez: ponderou tudo, pensou no perigo de voar ao anoitecer, na
possibilidade de uma nova tempestade, pois, de novo, o céu escuro prenunciava
novas chuvas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Ele precisava ir, precisava de direção, de conselho, de luz, de uma visão
expandida e de uma consciência arejada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
No fundo, João tinha certo medo da professora Glaucy. Ele não a conhecia
pessoalmente, mas as informações que tinha sobre ela eram contraditórias.
Alguns a consideravam muito sábia e justa&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;—&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;alguém que conseguia enxergar as coisas&amp;nbsp;de uma
perspectiva ampla e abrangente; outros, que ela tinha o dom da clarividência e
conseguia revelar segredos e conhecimentos ocultos. Outros, ainda, que ela não
passava de uma&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;buena-dicha&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;charlatã e uma verdadeira predadora&lt;/span&gt;—&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;. Mas todos eram unânimes ao
considerá-la extremamente sinistra e misteriosa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Isso não importava mais. Já estava resolvido. João decidiu ir de qualquer
maneira, custasse o que custasse. Ele não podia mais viver com aquela angústia
e precisava esclarecer tudo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Já se sentia preparado. Olhou para a amplidão do firmamento e avaliou
meticulosamente como deveria traçar sua rota de voo. Ele nunca havia voado para
um local tão distante. Calculou que logo iria escurecer. Nunca havia
empreendido um voo ao cair da noite, por isso decidiu ser o mais cuidadoso e
meticuloso possível.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João sempre
era muito metódico em tudo o que fazia. Era parte de sua rotina avaliar,
ponderar, calcular, antecipar resultados. Antes de começar a voar, traçou uma
rota mental de como deveria ser seu arriscado voo. Pensou que seria melhor voar
por etapas, pousando em certos locais específicos para descansar e reavaliar as
condições de voo e então avançar um pouco mais.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Seu mapa
mental incluía um poste próximo, depois uma árvore antiga e encorpada, o velho
eucalipto seco, a majestosa paineira, a airosa quaresmeira, e, finalmente, o
topo da montanha mais alta. Depois disso, ele empenharia um voo rasante e
voaria direto para o sótão de um casebre abandonado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Ele sabia que a última etapa do trajeto seria a mais difícil, pois, para além
da montanha, não haveria mais luzes. O lado oposto do morro estava mergulhado
na mais negra treva e, nesse ponto, ele sabia que deveria confiar totalmente em
seu mapa mental. Voaria quase que a esmo, às cegas, e não poderia se desviar um
centímetro sequer da reta mental que havia imaginado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Foi assim que fez. Tudo correra exatamente como ele havia planejado: cada
escala, cada ponto predeterminado...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Embora
tivesse calculado todos os detalhes possíveis e antecipado cada parada estratégica,
errou um pouco sobre &amp;nbsp;o horário do pôr do sol. João havia calculado esse
detalhe com precisão, mas não teve condições de saber que, devido à formação de
uma nova tempestade, as nuvens espessas encobririam os fracos raios solares
antes da hora, lançando a encosta do outro lado da montanha em densas trevas
antes do previsto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Nesse ponto
ele teve de se apressar um pouco mais. Sentiu medo nessa hora, mas fechou um
pouco os olhos, respirou fundo e se lançou numa imersão ousada e corajosa.
Penetrou as densas trevas na maior velocidade que pôde empregar&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;—&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;um mergulho num oceano
de trevas espessas que&amp;nbsp;ele deveria singrar até chegar ao alvo almejado&lt;/span&gt;—&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Ele podia
sentir o zumbir do vento em seus ouvidos, e as gotas de chuva pareciam pequenos
detritos lançados contra seu rosto. O único momento em que abriu os olhos foi
quando se assustou com o clarão e o estampido de um impetuoso raio. Seu corpo
parecia ter perdido a estabilidade, tanto pelo susto por causa do
&amp;nbsp;estrondo do raio, como pela força do vento adverso. De qualquer maneira,
esse incidente o salvou, pois, ao abrir os olhos, os clarões dos relâmpagos
foram suficientes para alumiar toda a encosta da montanha e o fundo do vale.
Não foi difícil vislumbrar o sótão e, assim, corrigir sua rota oblíqua.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Finalmente,
conseguiu pousar apenas a alguns metros da entrada de seu destino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João sacudiu
as asas molhadas e respirou fundo. Seu coração ainda batia de modo acelerado.
Saltitou um pouco e não quis perder tempo; queria logo entrar naquele sótão
que, embora sombrio, era o único refúgio seguro da chuva forte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Depois de
forçar a entrada com o bico, deu alguns passos reticentes. A escuridão interna
parecia ser ainda mais densa do que as trevas exteriores. Um ar pesado e
sufocante o envolvia. Os lampejos dos relâmpagos, vez por outra, permitiam que
ele pudesse ver, por frações de segundos, que se tratava de um local
empoeirado, com tijolos à vista mal assentados, e uma camada espessa de poeira
sobre o assoalho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Não sabia se
sua mente apavorada havia lhe pregado alguma peça, mas podia jurar que havia
visto uma cruz invertida pendurada em uma das paredes. Não deixou se levar por
um julgamento tão rápido e decidiu conferir melhor quando o clarão do próximo
relâmpago lançasse um pouco mais de luz naquele canto. Talvez sua mente tivesse
lhe enganado de alguma maneira, mas não deixou de ficar atento &amp;nbsp;à espera
do próximo clarão. Talvez fosse parte da estrutura do telhado, cuja sombra
oblonga o fizesse imaginar uma cruz invertida.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;O medo havia
tomado conta de todo seu ser. Sentia mais medo ali naquele local do que quando
estava voando. Encolheu-se num canto. “Onde estaria a professora Glaucy?”
imaginou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;De repente,
&amp;nbsp;João ouviu atrás de si o que parecia ser um grito&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;—&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;um urro apavorante&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;—&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;. Parecia o clamor de uma
mulher&amp;nbsp;sendo esfaqueada: um brado de terror, um berro de desespero e de
dor intensa. João estava apavorado e pensou em sair dali. Virou seu rosto para
trás, para ver de onde partia aquele grunhido de aflição. Nesse instante, teve
a visão mais aterradora de que se lembra em toda sua vida&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;—&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;no&amp;nbsp;canto oposto pôde ver
a cena mais assombrosa: &amp;nbsp;o vulto de um ser muito maior do que ele, cujas
enormes asas abertas empurravam contra seu rosto o fluxo daquele ar espesso e
poeirento&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;—&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João
esforçou-se para observar melhor, e seu coração quase parou de bater quando viu
uma coruja de meia idade girar a cabeça para trás sem mover sequer um milímetro
de seu corpo. Parecia que estava assistindo a uma cena clássica de filme de
terror.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Como era
possível alguém girar a cabeça para trás totalmente sem mexer o corpo?”
imaginou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João
afastou-se e tropeçou num pedaço de madeira solto no chão. Um relâmpago mais
demorado jorrou luz no rosto de uma coruja rajada, e João pôde ver sua própria
imagem projetada naqueles enormes olhos amarelados. João podia ver a si mesmo
no reflexo dos olhos da professora Glaucy e assustou-se mais ainda com a imagem
de si mesmo se mexendo no fundo de seus olhos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Então você
veio,” afirmou a coruja com a voz mais baixa. “Queira me desculpar, mas eu o
assustei. Eu sabia que você viria e já o estava esperando.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;A professora
Glaucy tratou de ser mais acolhedora e convidou João de Barro para um local
mais claro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Desculpe
João, a claridade intensa ofusca um pouco minha visão, mas vamos nos acomodar
num &amp;nbsp;local mais claro para podermos conversar.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;A professora
Glaucy era uma coruja robusta, com penas castanhas, bico afilado e imensos
olhos cintilantes. De uma hora para outra, era capaz de mudar sua fisionomia,
de um rosto fechado e carrancudo &amp;nbsp;para a face mais suave e dócil que
alguém pode imaginar. Às vezes,&amp;nbsp; sua expressão era de meter medo a
qualquer mortal, mas quando desfazia seu cenho severo era capaz&amp;nbsp; de
desvelar uma fisionomia afável e amigável, capaz de conquistar a mais ressabiada
criança com a maior demonstração de carinho, amizade e empatia. Ela parecia
sentir o que as pessoas sentiam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Foi com esse
olhar de ternura e compaixão que recebeu João de Barro, o que fez com que,
apesar do susto inicial, ele logo se acalmasse e se sentisse mais acolhido e
seguro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Como a
senhora sabia quem eu sou e &amp;nbsp;que eu viria?” perguntou João, com ar de
curiosidade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Bem,”
respondeu a coruja, balançando o corpo de um lado para o outro, “primeiro vamos
dispensar as formalidades.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;A professora
Glaucy&amp;nbsp; dava aulas de análise de&amp;nbsp; discursos num curso de letras, além
de ser &amp;nbsp;formada em filosofia e pedagogia. Porém, ela gostava de analisar o
discurso do modo como as pessoas falam no dia a dia. Não era muito de falar;
gostava mais de observar e ouvir o tempo todo. Ela achava que a melhor maneira
de fazer as pessoas descobrirem as coisas ainda era como o velho Sócrates
ensinara, ou seja:&amp;nbsp; deixar que elas mesmas dessem à luz suas ideias e
conclusões. Com esse método, ela fazia com que &amp;nbsp;as pessoas trouxessem à
tona coisas escondidas no fundo da mente. Por isso as pessoas achavam que ela
tinha parte com o oculto. Nada mais errado. Ela simplesmente ajudava as pessoas
a enxergarem melhor o mundo e a si mesmas, e fazia isso com pouca intervenção,
por meio de uma pergunta ou outra, mas sempre gostava de contar alguma estória
no final da conversa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Não precisa
me chamar de senhora e também não se preocupe em falar corretamente, mas eu sei
que viria porque seu amigo Luc me disse que talvez você viesse conversar
comigo.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João se
sentiu mais à vontade por ser dispensado de se esmerar para falar
corretamente,&amp;nbsp;mas não deixou de mostrar um visível olhar de tristeza e
desapontamento quando ela mencionou o nome do amigo. João tentou disfarçar e
cobriu o rosto com uma das asas, enquanto abaixava um pouco a cabeça para
tentar esconder os olhos vermelhos e uma lágrima perdida.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“É verdade,”
respondeu com o olhar distante, “o Luc sempre falava bem da senhora, quer
dizer, de você”, corrigiu, já se sentindo mais à vontade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Então fique
à vontade,” insistiu a coruja, com um tom de voz suave e carinhoso.&amp;nbsp; “Não
quer recostar um pouco?” &amp;nbsp;completou, apontando para um local mais arejado
e perto de uma janela que permitia um pouco&amp;nbsp; a entrada do clarão da lua,
já que a tempestade havia terminado tão repentinamente como havia começado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Mas o que o
traz aqui?”, indagou enquanto inclinava a cabeça para o lado e abria ainda mais
seus enormes olhos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Sabe,
Glaucy,”gaguejou um pouco, “é por causa do Luc que estou aqui, ele me deixou
muito desapontado e triste.&amp;nbsp;Nunca poderia imaginar que ele fosse tão
ingrato e cruel.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Mas ele
parece ser um pássaro&amp;nbsp; tão singelo e dócil. Não quer me contar o que
aconteceu?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Bom,
Glaucy, eu teria de contar a história toda, e não sei se você está disposta a
ouvir.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Nós temos a
noite toda, João. Não se preocupe com o tempo, mas você pode resumir um pouco,
se quiser.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Bom, quer
dizer, bem,” corrigiu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Pode falar
como fala em sua casa, João, não se preocupe e&amp;nbsp; deixe as formalidades para
meus alunos da faculdade.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Bom”, continuou,
“eu conheci o Luc numa casa noturna. Logo que o conheci, &amp;nbsp;fiquei muito
impressionado com sua voz. Quando o vi cantando. Era a voz mais linda que eu já
ouvi em toda a minha vida. Eu fiquei hipnotizado com aquela voz e com aquele
modo de cantar. Quando me aproximei, vi que era um &amp;nbsp;rouxinol pequeno. De
longe,&amp;nbsp; não podia saber se era macho ou fêmea, à primeira vista.&amp;nbsp; Era
de uma aparência meio andrógina. As pessoas se confundiam um pouco com isso.
Então me aproximei para ouvi-lo melhor. Quando ele cantava, todos ficavam
extasiados. O Luc podia cantar por mais de duas horas sem repetir a mesma
sequência. Era um pássaro de penas castanhas,&amp;nbsp; meio avermelhadas. Cantava
num timbre alto, mas doce. Ele conseguia produzir uma enorme variedade de
trinados e gorjeios num crescendo que levava todos a um verdadeiro êxtase. Mas,
as vezes, seu canto parecia um lamento triste, principalmente quando ele
cantava&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;bluegrass.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Eu já
tive&amp;nbsp; a oportunidade de ouvi-lo cantar,” lembrou-se a professora Glaucy,
“mas eu me lembro de tê-lo visto cantar no parque. E você tem razão, ele
gostava de cantar para os casais de namorados e ficava mais feliz quando&amp;nbsp;
via as pessoas felizes do que quando alguém lhe dava alguma contribuição”,
arrematou. “Nós conversamos por algumas vezes e eu pude perceber que ele era um
pássaro gentil, sincero e delicado, embora um pouco tímido.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Isso é
verdade, Glaucy.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Mas,
continue sua história,” insistiu, prestando atenção em cada palavra e gesto de
João.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Nós nos
tornamos bons amigos. O &amp;nbsp;Luc estava muito decepcionado e deprimido nesse
período.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“E porque
ele estava assim?” indagou a professora Glaucy, mais interessada ainda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Então,
Glaucy, ele estava triste porque se sentia muito preso. Estava muito aborrecido
por dois motivos.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Que
motivos, João?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Primeiro,
porque antes ele gostava de cantar na igreja,” respondeu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Ele cantava
no coro da igreja?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Não,
Glaucy, na torre da paróquia. Mas um dia ele ficou muito chateado porque estava
com fome. Então ele entrou no templo e comeu um pedacinho de pão.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“E o que tem
isso demais?” indagou a professora.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Bom, as
pessoas da igreja se sentiram indignadas e o espantaram de lá. Ele se sentiu
enxotado. As pessoas da igreja disseram que ele não deveria jamais ter comido o
pão da Santa Ceia do Senhor, pois ele era indigno. Somente bons cristãos, de
consciência limpa e sem pecado,&amp;nbsp;em comunhão com a igreja, &amp;nbsp;podiam
comer o pão do sacramento.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;A professora
Glaucy suspirou fundo, mas não disse nada,&amp;nbsp; e continuou ouvindo com atenção.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Foi então
que o Luc começou a cantar no parque,” explicou. “Ele ficou chateado porque
sentia fome e não podia comer o pão da igreja. Então ele deixou de cantar na
igreja não só por causa desse lance de ter comido o pão, mas porque ele queria
cantar com as pessoas e não podia. Ele via toda aquela linda celebração,
aqueles cânticos lindos, toda aquela gente cantando. Queria participar daquela
alegria, daquele júbilo, mas se sentia preterido. Eles diziam que aquilo não
era comida de pássaro,&amp;nbsp; e, portanto, ele não poderia comer. Por isso ele
não se sentia incluído. Algumas pessoas tinham dó e lhe davam um pedacinho de
pão escondido. E ele retribuía cantando um&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;bluegrass&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;que
adorava:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;‘Quando as
sombras desta vida passarem,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Eu voarei.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Como um pássaro livre da prisão,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Eu voarei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eu voarei, que glória!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Eu voarei
pela manhã.&lt;br /&gt;
Quando eu morrer, aleluia,&lt;br /&gt;
Num instante, eu voarei.’”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Assim que
João encerrou a explicação, ambos abaixaram um pouco a cabeça, &amp;nbsp;muito
pensativos, &amp;nbsp;e guardaram um silêncio não muito breve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Depois de um
período de tempo em silêncio, a professora Glaucy retomou a&amp;nbsp; conversa e
perguntou:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“E qual o
segundo motivo, João?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João liberou
o ar dos pulmões, depois de haver inspirado bastante, como se estivesse dando
um suspiro reprimido e prosseguiu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Depois
disso o Luc foi sondado por&amp;nbsp; alguns caça-talentos. Nesse período ele
cantava no parque&amp;nbsp; em troca de algumas gratificações. De alguma maneira,
perceberam que ele era muito talentoso e o convidaram para cantar nessa casa
noturna,” explicou. “Foi nesse período que eu o conheci.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Estou
entendendo, João,” interveio a professora, com ar de curiosidade, “mas parece
que você o ajudou muito nesse tempo.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Pelo menos
foi minha intenção, Glaucy, o Luc tem dificuldade &amp;nbsp;de entender certas
coisas.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Mas por que
ele precisava de ajuda, João?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João pensou
um pouco, procurando as palavras certas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Sabe,
Glaucy, no começo o Luc estava muito entusiasmado, principalmente porque ele
gostava de cantar à noite, mas com o tempo ele foi ficando desanimado e
deprimido.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Por que
motivo, João?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Por que o
Luc é meio ingênuo para negócios e acabou assinando um contrato que não era
muito favorável para ele. Sabe como é, &amp;nbsp;não teve paciência de ler aquelas
letrinhas. Prometeram a ele mundos e fundos, mas, quando &amp;nbsp;se deu conta,
tinha de fazer de tudo&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;—&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;desde
propagandas, promoção&amp;nbsp;dos&amp;nbsp; shows, marketing, à contabilidade&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;—&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;e ele não se&amp;nbsp;dava
bem com essas coisas, porque &amp;nbsp;queria mesmo era cantar, cantar, cantar...
Enfim,&amp;nbsp; sobrava pouco dinheiro. Então ele se enrolou e deixou de pagar
alguns impostos, para poder sobrar alguma quantia para comida e percebeu que
estava se sentindo preso. Nós&amp;nbsp; conversamos, e ele estava muito
decepcionado mesmo, pois estava se sentindo um escravo. Sentiu vontade até de
voltar a cantar lá no parque em troca de gorjetas, pois se sentia mais
realizado e livre lá, além de ganhar mais com &amp;nbsp;isso do que com o que ele
ganhava &amp;nbsp;na casa noturna.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Agora eu
estou entendendo mais, João, eu e o Luc não conversávamos muito pessoalmente,
mas gostamos muito de trocar&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;tweets.&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Então,
Glaucy, o Luc estava numa situação difícil,&amp;nbsp; sem dinheiro para comprar as
coisas mais básicas e atolado em dívidas e impostos. A gente se tornou bons
amigos,” prosseguiu João, sentindo-se mais à vontade, e parou de se preocupar
com a gramática.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;“A gente conversou bastante e eu&amp;nbsp;pensei&amp;nbsp;
numa maneira de poder ajudar. Então eu tive algumas ideias e conversei com
ele.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Que
ideias?” perguntou a professora Glaucy, limitando-se a ouvir e intervindo cada
vez menos, a não ser por uma pergunta ou outra que julgava pertinente. A&amp;nbsp;
lua havia avançado um pouco mais, para fora do ângulo da pequena abertura, e o
ambiente se tornou um pouco mais escuro novamente.&amp;nbsp; João só conseguia ver
a&amp;nbsp;silhueta&amp;nbsp;da atenciosa&amp;nbsp;coruja e o cintilar de seus olhos
misteriosos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Eu
conversei com o Luc e disse que tinha algumas casas. Uma delas estava meio
abandonada, e eu estava pensando em vender, pois tive notícias de que
&amp;nbsp;estava sendo ocupada por maus elementos.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Que tipos
&amp;nbsp;de maus elementos, João?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Ah, tinha
de tudo lá: cobras, ratos, aranhas, lagartos... essa gente não trabalha e só
quer viver à custa do suor dos outros,” desabafou. Então eu disse pro Luc que
eu podia vender essa casa e, com o dinheiro, &amp;nbsp;poderia ajudá-lo a pagar
suas dívidas e rescindir o contrato que o deixava preso. Luc ficou pensativo,
imaginando como iria continuar cantando. Então eu disse pra ele ficar de boa e
sugeri que &amp;nbsp;fizesse shows. Ele pensou bastante e gostou da ideia. Disse
que estava pensando em mudar de estilo, mas precisava de apoio.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Que tipo de
apoio, João?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Apoio
vocal, queria alguém para ajudar com segunda voz ou&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;back voice&lt;/i&gt;. Eu disse que não
cantava bem, mas poderia tentar ajudar. Perguntei o que ele estava pensando e
ele respondeu que queria cantar&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;yodel&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;ou&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;bluegrass&lt;/i&gt;. O Luc ficou meio sem
jeito com a ajuda e disse que só aceitaria como empréstimo e se pudesse
retribuir depois, que não queria nada de graça. Então eu disse que, quando
começasse a entrar algum dinheiro, ele me pagaria. Ele achou a proposta
razoável. O Luc ficou muito feliz e não sabia como agradecer. Então nós
começamos a trocar ideias, fazer planos, e eu sugeri que comprássemos roupas e
equipamentos. Também&amp;nbsp; sugeri que a gente cantasse sertanejo universitário
e MPB;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;yodel&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;e&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;bluegrass&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;eram bem regionais e não eram estilos
bem conhecidos. Luc argumentou que sertanejo universitário também era regional,
mas eu o lembrei do sucesso mundial do Michel Teló e do Gusttavo Lima.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;A professora
Glaucy continuou a ouvir atentamente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“E como foi
o empreendimento de vocês?” perguntou, ajeitando-se&amp;nbsp; ao lado de uma pilha
de livros antigos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Bom,
ele&amp;nbsp; ficou bem pensativo, mas concordou com a ideia. Nós fizemos ensaios e
logo começamos. Claro que eu tive de corrigir certas coisas no Luc e quis
tentar pôr ele na linha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Corrigir
certas coisas?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“É, Glaucy,
eu acho que o Luc é um talento&amp;nbsp; raro, mas precisava ser lapidado. O Luc
tinha certos vícios que precisava de correção,” &amp;nbsp;disse num tom incisivo e
um tanto autoritário.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Você pode
ser mais claro, João, que tipo de coisas você acha que ele precisava mudar?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Bom, a
começar pela postura. Eu disse &amp;nbsp;que &amp;nbsp;ele precisava ser, digamos, mais
viril, se a gente fosse cantar sertanejo universitário. Disse que pegava mal
ficar usando maquiagem e rímel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;A professora
Glaucy &amp;nbsp;não pôde esconder um ar de espanto e ficou pasmada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Mas, João,
esses recursos são importantes para os artistas. Você não Acha?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;“Eu
sei, Glaucy, mas eu pedi para ele maneirar um pouco. Pedi pra ele só aparar as
sobrancelhas e não as delinear muito. Disse que sertanejos tinham de ser viris.
O Luc era muito delicado. Uma vez eu pedi pra ele me ajudar a colocar um pouco
de barro na casa, e ele fez o maior escândalo porque eu pedi pra ele trazer uma
bolota de estrume.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Então o Luc
foi morar com você, não é mesmo?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“É, Glaucy,
ele não tinha como pagar aluguel, &amp;nbsp;então eu disse que podia ficar lá em
casa por algum tempo.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Mas a sua
esposa, você não é casado?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João ficou
pensativo nessa hora, mas prosseguiu:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Eu estou
separado, Glaucy.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;A professora
Glaucy não quis ser invasiva e ficou em silêncio, mas João se sentiu à&amp;nbsp;
vontade para continuar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Eu me
separei porque &amp;nbsp;achei que minha mulher andava arrastando as asinhas pra
outros passarinhos. Já tinha gente me chamando de corno manso. Então eu&amp;nbsp;
fui conversar com ela. Ela ficou muito indignada e nós acabamos discutindo.
Então, você sabe, no calor da discussão eu acabei dando uma bicada nela. Então
ela quis se separar e me denunciou. Eu fui enquadrado na Lei Maria da Pena e
preciso manter uma certa distância dela.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“O Luc me
disse que havia um&amp;nbsp; boato sobre uma casa...” Provocou a professora.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Ah, esse
boato de que eu a tranquei na casa. Isso é pura fofoca, Glaucy. Esse povinho
tem veneno na língua. O que acontece é que a casa ficou abandonada. Então umas
abelhas &amp;nbsp; sem-teto, invadiram a casa e fecharam a entrada. Eu estou
esperando pela reintegração de posse. Foi isso que aconteceu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Agora eu
entendi, então por isso o Luc pôde morar com você.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“É, Glaucy,
mas é aí que o bicho pegou, porque eu achava o Luc meio paradão. Sabe, ele
não&amp;nbsp; se empenhava com os negócios. Só queria ficar cantando e twittando
com as fãs dele. Então eu resolvi ser mais rígido.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

você fez?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Eu decidi
impor algumas regras,” respondeu resolutamente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

regras?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Regras
básicas, né, Glaucy, como horas pra ensaiar, horas pra cantar, horas pra
twittar, horas pra arrumar a casa e assim por diante.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“E como ele
reagiu, João?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“No começo
ele até tentou, mas logo ele parou de limpar a casa, não se lembrava de pagar
as contas, e eu fui ficando aborrecido. Perguntei por que&amp;nbsp; ele não pagou
as contas. Ele disse que não sabia fazer cálculos muito bem.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“E você o
ensinou a fazer contas?” insistiu a coruja, tentando entender melhor a
explicação.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

uma coisa, João, você sabia cantar? Você também cantava?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Eu não
cantava muito bem, mas com o tempo &amp;nbsp;fui pegando o jeito. Eu conseguia
cantar melhor com o apoio dele, tipo num dueto. Eu gostava de duetos, só havia
uma musica que a gente invertia, ou seja, eu cantava e ele fazia o&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;back voice&lt;/i&gt;, que era uma musica
do Milton Nascimento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;quer dizer que você não o ensinava a fazer contas, mas ele&amp;nbsp; o
ensinava a cantar?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João se
sentiu meio pressionado, mas justificou:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

diferentes, Glaucy.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

entendo, mas pode ser que há coisas fáceis para você e difíceis para ele e vice
versa.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João ficou
meio pensativo e não deu continuidade ao assunto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Foi muito
bom, em apenas alguns meses a gente consegui repor o dinheiro dos impostos e
ainda sobrou um pouco, mas o Luc começou a ficar triste, deprimido... Ele quase
não cantava mais. Quando cantava, eram músicas tristes e depressivas. Eu quis
saber o que estava acontecendo, mas ele não dizia nada. Então eu quis ter uma
conversa séria com ele.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“E como foi
essa conversa, João?” inquiriu a professora, encorajando João a falar mais.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Eu disse ao
Luc que se ele não se empenhasse mais, se ele não trabalhasse para manter as
coisas organizadas, ia acabar voltando pra aquela boate fedorenta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;

exclamou a coruja, pensando um pouco. Depois simplesmente disse: “Medo.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“O que você
disse, Glaucy?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Depois a
gente volta a esse assunto, João, mas continue.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Bom, o Luc
abaixou a cabeça meio triste e&amp;nbsp; ficou olhando pela janela.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“E depois?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Depois eu
disse que ele deveria ter consideração, que se não fosse por minha ajuda, ele
ainda estaria todo enrolado.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Entendi,”
disse a professora Glaucy de novo, e acrescentou: “Obrigação. Mas continue.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Por fim, eu
já estava cansado de ver o Luc imóvel, com aquela cara de quem comeu e não
gostou, e disse que eu estava fazendo a minha parte, e que se as coisas não
dessem certo, ele seria o único responsável.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Entendi,”
tornou a coruja,&amp;nbsp; girando a cabeça para trás &amp;nbsp;e coçando o ombro com o
bico, e disse: “Culpa.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João não
estava entendendo nada absolutamente&amp;nbsp; sobre a razão de a professora Glaucy
ter dito as palavras&amp;nbsp; medo, obrigação e culpa, mas prosseguiu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Então,
Glaucy, quando&amp;nbsp; foi hoje de manhã, eu acordei e o Luc não estava mais
&amp;nbsp;lá. Chamei por ele, mas ele não respondia. Depois li um sms no meu&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;smartphone&lt;/i&gt;. O Luc me deixou
umas mensagens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Quer me
contar sobre as mensagens?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Sim, eu
posso te mostrar, Glaucy.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Está bem,
eu quero ver, mas antes queria saber uma coisa,” disse um tanto intrigada, “o
Luc nunca o ajudou de alguma maneira?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Claro que
sim, Glaucy, ele me deu apoio e me ajudou, quando soube que eu estava separado.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Que mais,
João?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Bom, ele
também me ensinou a cantar melhor, me deu dicas de vocalização, me corrigiu em
certas posturas também. Ele dizia para eu parar de bater as asas quando
cantava. O Luc brincava e dizia que às vezes eu parecia estar dando uma
gargalhada quando cantava.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Entendo,
João, mas vamos às mensagens, o que ele escreveu?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Veja que
ingrato, Glaucy, veja só o que ele escreveu. Foram três mensagens:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 35.4pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
‘Não se lamente pelo que se foi para sempre;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Guarde o que
você tem;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Nunca confie
na palavra de alguém que esteja preso.’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ele foi embora, Glaucy, e&amp;nbsp; nunca &amp;nbsp;mais vai voltar.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Por que
você acha isso?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Basta ler
as mensagens, Glaucy,” respondeu João com a garganta fechada e voz embargada,
“ele disse que nunca mais iria voltar. Ou você acha que ele vai voltar,
Glaucy?” perguntou, tentando tirar da professora Glaucy alguma informação, ou
esperando que ela lhe revelasse alguma coisa sobre o futuro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Pode ser
que sim, pode ser que não,” respondeu, “como eu vou saber? Embora, que eu
saiba, &amp;nbsp;os rouxinóis sempre voltam de onde partiram.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“É, eu acho
que ele não volta mais, Glaucy, ele disse que a gente não deve confiar na
palavra de alguém que esteja preso.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Então
inverta a tese, João.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Como assim,
Glaucy”, perguntou atônito.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Ora, se
você não pode confiar na palavra de quem está preso, então pode confiar na
palavra de quem está livre, não é?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João ficou
meio confuso com a inversão das premissas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Então você
acha que ele vai voltar?” insistiu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Vou
&amp;nbsp;contar uma estória para você, João,” disse a professora Glaucy, batendo
as duas asas, como se estivesse ensaiando um voo ou fazendo algum exercício.
Depois limpou a garganta e prosseguiu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Um homem
muito rico foi a um mercado de pássaros. Quando chegou lá viu os mais belos
pássaros cantores. Viu pássaros com as mais reluzentes penas. Todos estavam
presos numa gaiola muito grande. Mas, lá no cantinho havia um passarinho
doente, despenado, com o bico quebrado, ferido e abandonado. Então o homem rico
quis compra-lo.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João seguiu
ouvindo atentamente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“Então,”
continuou a coruja, criando &amp;nbsp;certo suspense, “todos ficaram sem entender
por que ele quis comprar aquele passarinho ferido, fraco, sem viço algum,
doente e quase morrendo, mas ele &amp;nbsp;comprou o pássaro mesmo assim. Depois o
pássaro quis saber por que ele havia feito isso. Ele disse:&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;‘Porque
&amp;nbsp;eu amo você e quero sua liberdade.’ Ele abriu as mãos e disse ao
pássaro:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;‘Vá, você
agora é livre, pode ir.’&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;O pobre
passarinho não entendeu nada e insistiu:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;‘Mas por que
está me libertando,&amp;nbsp; por&amp;nbsp; que está fazendo isso?’&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;‘Já disse’,
respondeu o homem rico, ‘eu te amo e quero que você seja livre. Vá’, disse ele,
o soltando, mas o passarinho ficou tão comovido pelo amor daquele homem e
disse:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;‘Jamais eu
irei, quero ficar sempre ao lado de quem me ama e cuida de mim.’ ”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João olhou
de esguelha, fechou um pouco os olhos e parecia não estar entendendo a conversa
da coruja e aonde ela queria chegar. Embora confuso com o desenrolar da
estória, João&amp;nbsp; comentou:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Mas
&amp;nbsp;só Jesus Cristo é capaz de amar alguém assim.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Então é um
bom exemplo, não é mesmo?” devolveu a coruja,&amp;nbsp; dando uma piscadela com o
olho esquerdo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“E não sei
por que está me contando essa estória, Glaucy, o Luc não estava em nenhuma
prisão ou gaiola; minha casa&amp;nbsp; não tinha nenhuma grade e não era nenhuma
gaiola. O Luc podia entrar e sair&amp;nbsp; quando quisesse, tanto que saiu.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;A professora
Glaucy pensou um pouco e respondeu: &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“João, nem
sempre as prisões são feitas só de&amp;nbsp; grades.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Então de
que outra maneira elas podem ser feitas, você pode me explicar?” perguntou num
tom um tanto indignado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Elas podem
ser feitas de culpa, medo e obrigação, João. E se você ama alguém, não
&amp;nbsp;vai querer aprisionar essa pessoa por meio da culpa, do medo e da
obrigação.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João se
sentiu ultrajado, ofendido, indignado. A raiva o consumia como fogo. Ele queria
pular no pescoço da professora.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Você está
me confundindo,” bradou, “quero que saiba que eu sou macho. Aqui é espada, e eu
não estou entendendo aonde quer chegar com esse papo de frutinha. Esse papo de
amar macho. Fique sabendo que eu sou hétero,” fuzilou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“João pensou
em dar uma bicada na cara &amp;nbsp;daquela coruja atrevida, mas quando se
levantou, teve a impressão de que a professora Glaucy estava começando a fazer
aquela cara carrancuda de novo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Eu só
queria dar um exemplo de como é importante &amp;nbsp;para uma pessoa não ser
possessiva&amp;nbsp; e controladora com o parceiro que ama, João”, tentou explicar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Ele é meu
parceiro de negócios,” soletrou&amp;nbsp; João, &quot;negócios.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“E quem
disse que é de outra maneira? Você não pode amar um parceiro de negócios?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João se
atrapalhou, parecia ter caído numa armadilha semântica que ele mesmo criara.
Ficou corado e confuso e envergonhado por haver se precipitado, mas o
sentimento predominante era de &amp;nbsp;raiva. João se levantou furioso e deu um
passo decidido na direção da professora Glaucy, &amp;nbsp;mas percebeu que a coruja
era muito maior do que ele e&amp;nbsp; conteve seu ímpeto. O sol já estava
despontando. João olhou bem dentro dos olhos da professora Glaucy e viu seu
reflexo de novo. Viu como ele realmente era nos olhos dela. João quis bicar,
agredir, mas viu seu tamanho real refletido nos olhos da coruja &amp;nbsp;e teve
medo. Não tanto por causa do tamanho da coruja, mas por causa da sua imagem
apequenada refletida em sua retina, &amp;nbsp;e achou que não deveria ter essa
ousadia. &amp;nbsp;Ele se achava maior do que era, mas viu seu tamanho real
refletido nos olhos arregalados daquela coruja. No fundo João não sabia se
queria agredir a coruja ou aniquilar aquela imagem tímida e diminuta&amp;nbsp; refletida
naqueles olhos misteriosos. &amp;nbsp;Então teve&amp;nbsp; vontade de&amp;nbsp; fugir&amp;nbsp;
dali, de abandonar aquele ambiente pesado e opressor. Não sabia se queria fugir
da presença da coruja ou de si mesmo. Sentia-se pequeno e achatado. Despediu-se
da coruja cego de raiva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Adeus
e obrigado,” limitou-se a dizer essas palavras rispidamente enquanto começava a
&amp;nbsp;tremular as asas pronto&amp;nbsp; para voar dali.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;A professora
Glaucy o olhou com compaixão e concluiu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“João, você
é bom, seu coração é cheio de amor, você é inteligente, dedicado e altruísta. O
que você faz não é para controlar as pessoas ou dominá-las, mas é porque se
sente&amp;nbsp; inseguro e tem medo de ser abandonado. Eu sei que seu amigo Luc vai
ponderar sobre &amp;nbsp;essas coisas e vai reconsiderar sua opinião sobre você,
quando ele descobrir que, no fundo, você é como o homem rico.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João saiu
voando pela janela, cheio de pensamentos confusos e conflitantes. Conseguiu
voltar ao seu ninho muito mais rapidamente do que quando havia voado para o
sótão da coruja.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Quando
chegou, sua mente parecia um turbilhão. Estava confuso e se sentia
desestabilizado emocionalmente. Ficou meditando nas palavras finais da coruja e
não conseguia entender se aquelas palavras &amp;nbsp;era um conselho sábio ou um
vaticínio ou uma profecia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;João
respirou fundo e depois de meditar sobre &amp;nbsp;as &amp;nbsp;palavras da professora
Glaucy se sentiu calmo e sereno. Um sentimento de tranquilidade e confiança
como nunca sentira antes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Lembrou-se
da canção de Milton Nascimento que sempre cantava&amp;nbsp; com Luc nos
momentos&amp;nbsp; que tiveram de alegria e descontração e começou a cantar:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Rouxinol
tomou conta&lt;br /&gt;
Do meu viver.&lt;br /&gt;
Chegou quando procurei&lt;br /&gt;
Razão pra poder seguir.&lt;br /&gt;
Quando a música ia&lt;br /&gt;
E quase eu fiquei.&lt;br /&gt;
Quando a vida chorava&lt;br /&gt;
Mais que eu gritei...”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Quando estava para começar a segunda
parte da canção, olhou para a entrada do ninho.&amp;nbsp; Uma imagem surgiu, com um
halo de luz solar radiante por trás de si. Um pássaro singelo, &amp;nbsp;de bico curto e bem aberto, de penas marrons, vermelhas e amarelas, aproximou-se com
olhar terno, num balanço suave e preciso, e com o corpo todo iluminado. Luc
abriu bem o bico e, num canto doce e aveludado, terminou a canção junto com
João numa suave harmonia:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;“Pássaro&lt;br /&gt;
Deu a volta ao mundo&lt;br /&gt;
E brincava.&lt;br /&gt;
Rouxinol me ensinou&lt;br /&gt;
Que é só não temer.&lt;br /&gt;
Cantou.&lt;br /&gt;
Se hospedou em mim.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

on the cheekbones, on each side &amp;nbsp;of the nose, was the antithesis of what can
be described as almond-shaped eyes. People used to say they were similar to the

talked about his latest interview and said his nickname should be changed to ‘Greek
god’, not only because &quot;Greek god&#39; was the title rather ironic used by the press in an article &amp;nbsp; in the
newspaper but because of his beauty as well. Despite being sixty five years old, he
appeared to be younger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

and thought that that morning was not favorable to finish his article and

with Rev. Rodolfo Lemos, the chaplain of the Celtic Cross Hospital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Paraná State. He was a thin, short man, now nearing seventy years old. His
skin, full of freckles and spots, was the result of an involuntary, aggressive
tanning &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;&quot;&gt;—&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;an evidence of a person who had worked for years on end battered by
the sun. He seemed to be the opposite of Dr. Athanasios: always smiling and
talkative; he never remembered where he had left his glasses or his booklets of
devotional literature, which he used to dole out widely not only among the
patients, but to anyone he deemed to be in need of a word of comfort or &amp;nbsp;spiritual advice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

the terms before any conversation they had. The only difference was that Dr.
Athanasios did it slowly while sipping a generous cup of green tea, while Rev.
Lemos was not merciful on his own tongue and burned it really hard while eagerly
drinking his almost scalding tiny cup of coffee&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;&quot;&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;a drink he had learned to

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Extremamente
compenetrado, Dr. Zeus Athanasios era um médico sempre sério e um requisitado
cientista, cujo trabalho era dividido entre o seu laboratório de pesquisas
genéticas e o hospital Cruz Celta.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Seu semblante austero
e sério lhe conferia a alcunha de “o homem que nunca sorri”. Nunca sorria
mesmo, mas não que fosse um homem triste, apenas achava que devia manter um ar
de seriedade no ambiente de trabalho. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Homem metódico e
disciplinado; tudo deveria estar no lugar certo. Cada objeto, cada anotação, cada
livro... tudo deveria estar na mais perfeita ordem. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Não se sentia à vontade
quando as pessoas riam do resultado de suas experiências genéticas e ficava
extremamente desconsertado quando os jornalistas inferiam que ele gostava de
brincar de Deus. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Os cabelos bem negros
e olhos grandes, levemente puxados sobre o osso malar, nos lados opostos ao
nariz, era antítese do que pode ser descrito como olhos amendoados. Também
diziam que eram parecidos com olhos de estátuas gregas, o que fazia sentido,
pois, embora nascido no Brasil, seu pai era de Atenas e sua mãe, de
Tessalônica. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Nos corredores, às
escondidas, as meninas do laboratório comentavam sobre sua mais recente
entrevista e diziam que o apelido dele deveria ser “deus grego”, não só por
causa do título sutilmente irônico da matéria do jornal, mas por causa de sua
beleza. Já com sessenta e cinco anos completos, não aparentava mais do que
trinta anos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Dr. Zeus Athanasios não
estava se sentindo particularmente inspirado para terminar de escrever seu mais
recente artigo sobre o resultado de suas pesquisas com serpentes transgênicas.
Por mais que se esforçasse, seus dedos pareciam imóveis. Lia mais do que
escrevia. Apagava cada parágrafo e não conseguia encontrar uma linha de
pensamento. Finalmente, desistiu e achou que aquela manhã não era favorável
para terminar seu artigo e achou que seria mais apropriado dar-se ao luxo de relaxar
um pouco e estender sua conversa com o Rev. Rodolfo Lemos, o capelão do
Hospital Cruz Celta. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Embora ateu convicto,
Dr. Athanasios se divertia com as estórias engraçadas do Rev. Rodolfo, mesmo
que nunca risse.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Rev. Rodolfo bem que poderia
ser considerado um matuto paranaense. Era um homem magro, baixo, já beirando os
setenta anos. Sua pele, repleta de sardas e manchas, era resultado de um
bronzeamento involuntário e agressivo, indício de uma pessoa que havia
trabalhado por muitos anos fustigada pelo sol. Parecia ser o oposto do Dr.
Athanasios: sempre sorridente e falante, nunca lembrava onde havia deixado os
óculos ou seus livretos de literatura devocional, os quais distribuía
fartamente não só entre os pacientes, mas a qualquer pessoa que julgasse estar
precisando de uma palavra de conforto ou ajuda espiritual.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Apesar da formação
diferente, ambos eram extremamente polidos e cultos. Rev. Lemos era amante da
língua grega, idioma que sempre apreciou e que havia estudado no seminário de
teologia. &amp;nbsp;Dr. Athanasios, é claro, falava grego fluentemente.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Um ritual que ambos
concordavam em seguir estritamente era definir os termos antes de qualquer
conversa. A única diferença era que o Dr. Athanasios o fazia vagarosamente,
enquanto sorvia uma xícara generosa de chá verde, ao passo que o Rev. Lemos não
tinha piedade alguma de sua língua e sempre a queimava enquanto bebia, com certa
sofreguidão, sua pequena xícara de café quase escaldante, bebida que aprendera
a apreciar devido aos longos anos de trabalho na lavoura de café antes de entrar
para o seminário. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;A conversa, desta
vez, tinha como tema a palavra “&lt;i&gt;psique&lt;/i&gt;”.
Dr. Athanasios prosseguiu e pediu desculpas por não estar sendo muito
atencioso.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Perdão, reverendo, – desculpou-se o médico enquanto
tentava prestar atenção na rotina dos atendimentos – preciso ficar de olhos bem
abertos. O senhor sabe, depois que depredaram nosso laboratório e soltaram nossos
animais de pesquisa &amp;nbsp;tivemos um prejuízo
incalculável.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Imagino, doutor, – respondeu o clérigo enquanto
bebericava mais um pouco da bebida fumegante – deve ter sido um prejuízo
incalculável, muito dinheiro perdido...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– O prejuízo maior não foi tanto financeiro,
reverendo, mas anos de trabalhos desperdiçados, anos – indignou-se – havia
pesquisas importantes sobre leucemia, câncer, diabetes... Estávamos bem
avançados com a pesquisa sobre diversos tipos de protozoários, sobretudo
tropicais, e o próximo passo seria o teste de protozoários alterados em
macacos. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Por que cargas d’água o senhor acha que
fizeram isso, doutor?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Não sei, reverendo, respondeu Dr. Athanasios
com o olhar perdido e ajeitando um estetoscópio debaixo da gola de um jaleco
impecavelmente branco – eu também não entendo, alguns deles me chamaram de Dr.
Frankenstein por causa de algumas experiência genéticas numa entrevista que dei
à imprensa. Talvez seja possível, reverendo – continuou, colocando o dedo
indicador nos lábios – talvez a imagem que a imprensa passa é de um cientista
maluco que brinca com a natureza. Eu acho que agi errado ao dar mais ênfase nas
pesquisas mais inusitadas, por assim dizer... É,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;–&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;prosseguiu – talvez eu não
devesse ter mostrado os porquinhos e o Tudinho. Acho que eu deveria ter falado
só das serpentes e dos protozoários alterados.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Porquinhos, serpentes, Tudinho! Do que está
falando, doutor, – perguntou o reverendo muito curioso.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Ah, sim, os porquinhos que acendem os olhos.
Nos os manipulamos geneticamente e inserimos em seus genes a mesma sequência
genética que faz os&amp;nbsp;vaga-lumes&amp;nbsp;acenderem. Isso não foi&amp;nbsp;tão difícil. Com as
serpentes foi mais complicado um pouco...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Mas qual a razão de um porco que acende os
olhos, perguntou o reverendo, esboçando um leve sorriso.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Dr. Athanasios prosseguiu com a explicação
ainda mais sério. Se havia um momento em que nem pensava mesmo em sorrir era
quando falava de suas experiências.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Não é nenhuma maluquice – tratou de
responder logo – nos os alteramos porque queríamos diferenciar dos porcos do
estudo de controle, então não precisamos marcá-los de alguma outra forma. Sobre
as serpentes, – continuou – nos alteramos seus genes até que conseguimos que
elas produzissem morfina em vez de veneno.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– E que benefício há nisso – perguntou o
reverendo, dessa vez mais contido.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Na verdade, em termos práticos, quase nenhum
mesmo, até porque, outros colegas conseguiram resultados fabulosos no
tratamento de diversas doenças a partir do veneno dessas serpentes. Morfina
também é uma medicação muito antiga, usada até 2015, se não estou enganado. Enfim,
há muito tempo, hoje substituída por medicações mais eficientes. Mas fizemos
isso a título de experiência. Queríamos manipular certas proteínas geneticamente.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– &amp;nbsp;Dr.
Athanasios estava já concluindo sua explicação, quando se deu conta de que
ficou faltando o Tudinho.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Ah, sim reverendo, como eu poderia me
esquecer dessa preciosidade. Venha cá, Tudinho, esse eu faço questão de
mostrar, reverendo, Tudinho é nossa mascote, nosso gatinho de estimação, também
modificado geneticamente. O senhor conseguiria identificar no que ele é
modificado?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Rev. Lemos ajeitou os
óculos, curvou-se um pouco, enfiou o dedo por trás do colarinho clerical,
afastou um pouco a cabeça, olhou novamente, franziu os lábios e disse:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Não, de fato não consigo ver nada de
diferente, parece um gato comum.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Bem, ele é mesmo muito comum em todos os
aspectos, menos por um detalhe. Veja, pode acariciá-lo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Reverendo Lemos esticou as mãos e acariciou
o gato, que retribuiu o carinho espreguiçando-se um pouco e esfregando a cabeça
no punho do religioso.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Então, que lhe parece? – perguntou o médico.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Ainda não vi nada de diferente, afirmou o
capelão.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Os pelos, reverendo, na verdade não são
pelos de gato, são cabelos humanos, embora nós o aparamos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– O reverendo foi tomado por um espanto
visível.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Deixe-me ver de novo, doutor. Mas isso é
inacreditável. E há algum propósito específico?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Bem, nesse caso um grande laboratório
multinacional patrocinou nossa pesquisa e assinamos um contrato para que possam
desenvolver um tratamento para calvície em troca de patrocínio.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Depois de guardarem
silêncio por alguns segundos, Dr. Athanasios desabafou: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;– Rev. Quando eu dei
uma entrevista e falei de nosso trabalho, deveria ter enfatizado mais sobre as
pesquisas com os protozoários. Eu garanto que se alguma mãe tivesse
toxoplasmose durante a gravidez ia pensar duas vezes antes de depredar nosso
laboratório. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Então vocês estão fazendo pesquisas com esse
tipo de doença? – indagou interessado – É uma doença muito cruel. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Nesse ponto da
conversa o Rev. Lemos ficou mais pensativo. E como está o andamento das
pesquisas?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Bem, reverendo, estamos meio estagnados. Além
de comprometerem nossas pesquisas ao destruírem grande parte do laboratório,
não encontramos ninguém absolutamente que quisesse patrocinar esses&amp;nbsp; estudos. A indústria farmacêutica não acha que
esse tipo de pesquisa proporciona lucros.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Dr. Athanasios, sem querer ser advogado do
diabo, até porque eu estou do outro lado. – brincou – Mas parece que as pessoas
estavam indignadas com o sacrifício dos animais.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ora, reverendo, se eu
fosse um crente, essa seria uma boa hora para dizer: ‘valha me Deus’! – respondeu,
devolvendo a piada, mas sem sorrir.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Todos os dias animais
são sacrificados para virar não só alimento, mas para uma enormidade de outros
fins, e essas mesmas pessoas que destroem nossos laboratórios, depois vão comer
hambúrgueres e cachorro- quente com seus filhos. Bem, não quero conversar sobre isso...
Se bem que poucos animais são sacrificados. O último que tivemos de sacrificar foi
um cachorro.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– E por que o gato se chama Tudinho? –
retornou o reverendo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Bem, é que ele sempre come tudo que damos. Então
as meninas diziam: ‘come tudinho’, e o apelido pegou.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– E como o senhor está se sentindo esta
semana, doutor?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Muito mais entusiasmado, estou muito
agradecido pela oferta do Hospital Cruz Celta de nos deixar utilizar um anexo
desocupado para não perdermos nossas pesquisas. Graças ao hospital, muitos
estudos puderam ser preservados, por isso estou muito entusiasmado.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Está vendo, doutor, até mesmo um ateu pode
ser cheio de Deus.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Que quer dizer, reverendo? – perguntou
aprumando-se na cadeira.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– É isso que a palavra entusiasmado quer
dizer, vem de “&lt;i&gt;en theos&lt;/i&gt;”, tomado por Deus,
possuído por Deus.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Isso não havia me ocorrido, reverendo, é
mesmo surpreendente como nossa língua está repleta de termos gregos até hoje. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Alias seu sobrenome também é sugestivo, sabe
o que significa?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Sim, – respondeu – significa imortal, “&lt;i&gt;a thanatos&lt;/i&gt;”, &lt;i&gt;thanatos&lt;/i&gt; quer dizer morte, então “&lt;i&gt;athanasia&lt;/i&gt;”, de onde vem Athanasios, quer dizer imortalidade.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– E o senhor acredita na imortalidade?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Claro que sim, reverendo, estamos nos
aproximando do que chamamos de singularidade e logo não vamos mais morrer – com
toda certeza.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Então, agora temos de retomar nossa
definição de alma ou &lt;i&gt;psique&lt;/i&gt;, o senhor
está reconhecendo que a &lt;i&gt;psique&lt;/i&gt;
continua após a vida?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Não, reverendo, para mim &lt;i&gt;psique&lt;/i&gt; é o mesmo que consciência, as
informações produzidas por nossas experiências, no nosso cérebro, e que podem
ser manipuladas e armazenadas como qualquer conjunto de informações de um
computador. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– E como o senhor acha que podemos ser
imortais, se não acredita na alma como uma entidade espiritual? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Existem várias possibilidades, uma delas é
pelo aprimoramento genético. Já conseguimos fazer um rato viver quarenta
gerações. Outra possibilidade, que também já está bem próxima, seria fazer o “&lt;i&gt;download&lt;/i&gt;” de nossas memórias, enfim, de
nossa consciência ou &lt;i&gt;psique&lt;/i&gt; para um
computador e as preservar para sempre – explicava o doutor Athanasios com toda
a convicção e não evidenciando sinal algum de dúvida. Falava disso com toda a
certeza mesmo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Bem, doutor, retornou o religioso, eu
acredito, como Platão e os filósofos antigos, que nossa realidade é uma
projeção da realidade verdadeira e nossa alma ou espírito é imortal e continua para
sempre. É assim que eu defino &lt;i&gt;psique&lt;/i&gt;
ou consciência. &amp;nbsp;Mas eu também li estudos
de colegas seus afirmando que a consciência não reside no cérebro. O cérebro – prosseguiu
– é &amp;nbsp;um receptor da consciência, que é
uma realidade separada e distinta. Vi, nesse estudo, que os microtúbulos do cérebro,
desculpe se falo em termos leigos, são como computadores quânticos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Esses estudos não são aceitos pela
comunidade científica. – ressaltou – nós, cientistas, trabalhamos com fatos
mensuráveis e concretos. Esses estudos são mais filosóficos do que científicos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– A discussão sobre a definição de &lt;i&gt;psique&lt;/i&gt; estava ficando acalorada quando
ouviram um alvoroço e uma gritaria vindos dos corredores.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Uma enfermeira baixa
e gorda irrompeu na sala onde estavam sem pedir licença, pálida, ofegante...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Dr. Athanasios, Dr. Athanasios, um acidente,
venha, que horrível, que horrível...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Dr. Athanasios suspendeu a conversa, pediu
desculpas e saiu imediatamente até ganhar o corredor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Os gritos, a agitação
e o corre-corre prosseguiram. Eram gritos altos, de desespero, de angústia, de dor...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Rosna rabugento, rosna rabugento... – Gritava
uma mulher alta, também com um jaleco branco, todo tingido de sangue, com os
cabelos desgrenhados, curvando-se para frente e segurando a mão toda
ensanguentada.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Aquele cachorro, Dr. Athanasios, aquele
cachorro rabugento e infeliz mordeu meu dedo – concluiu chorando ainda mais
alto – eu vou perder a ponta dos meus dedos – desesperou-se.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Calma, Dra. Kelly, fique calma, aparentemente
não foi uma mordida muito forte, vamos cuidar disso e mantenha a calma...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– O senhor diz isso porque não foi com seu
dedo. Aquele animal não merece tanta atenção, o que ele fez é... ai meu dedo...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Dra. Kelly, contenha-se, mesmo se a senhora
perdesse o dedo inteiro, sabe que nosso tratamento com regeneração de órgãos já
é bem-sucedido e podemos recuperá-lo até com as impressões digitais originais.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Eu estou com muita dor, doe muito... Eu não
quero mais tratar daquele cachorro ingrato e rabugento.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Vamos conversar sobre isso depois, Dra. kelly,
agora vamos cuidar de seu dedo – apressou-se o Dr. Athanasios, conduzindo-a
para o setor de emergência do hospital, onde lhe deu um sedativo e a encaminhou
para ser devidamente atendida.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Dr. Athanasios retornou e suspendeu sua
conversa acalorada com o reverendo. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Rev. Lemos, peço desculpas, mas tivemos um
incidente e preciso verificar de perto o que ocorreu – disse, apanhando suas
anotações, alguns aparelhos médicos e uma caixa de remédios.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Quando estava a
caminho dos quartos, percorrendo um extenso corredor bem limpo e iluminado,
encontrou-se com uma enfermeira, aparentando certo nervosismo e um tanto
reticente. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Dr. Athanasios quis
se inteirar do incidente e foi logo inquirindo sobre o que ocorrera com a
enfermeira-chefe de plantão.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Dr. Athanasios,
preciso relatar algumas coisas... O seu Ataliba anda muito esquisito.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Como assim, Eliza, como esquisito?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Bem doutor, depois que ele recebeu o
implante do maxilar direito, passou a ter um comportamento diferente. Antes ele
era muito alegre e divertido, muito dinâmico. Agora ele passou a ser deprimido,
triste, apático e reclama de tudo. As outras enfermeiras estão o chamando de
velho rabugento.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Dr. Athanasios ficou meio pensativo e quis
mais informações.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Como especificamente tem sido o
comportamento dele, como ele tem agido?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Outro dia, doutor, ele roubou o jaleco de
uma médica, fingiu que era médico e desceu para o andar térreo, e nós o
encontramos sentado no jardim, comendo pé-de-moleque, que ele havia comprado no
carrinho de doces na frente do hospital. Nós explicamos que ele não poderia
fazer isso em hipótese alguma por causa do tratamento. Mas ele deu de ombros e
saiu dizendo palavras ríspidas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Num outro dia, ele
beliscou uma atendente e disse que sabia muito bem cuidar de si sozinho. Enfim,
doutor, ele está muito triste, deprimido e melancólico. Antes era carinhoso,
afável e amistoso, agora é impertinente, ranzinza e birrento.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Eu vou conversar com ele, Eliza, vou
averiguar o que está ocorrendo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Dr. Athanasios saiu pensativo,
querendo entender o que havia ocorrido.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;O seu Ataliba já
havia se submetido a vários tratamentos devido a uma doença rara que deixava
seus ossos fracos e quebradiços.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;O primeiro tratamento
foi um sucesso, embora naquele ano a técnica do doutor Athanasios não estivesse
totalmente desenvolvida. Ele obtivera sucesso com ossos geneticamente alterados
de um cavalo, depois de um boi e, da última vez, de um cachorro, que o Dr.
Athanasios teve de sacrificar depois de extrair uma seção do maxilar com genes humanos
desenvolvidos no próprio cachorro. Foi um tratamento tão bem-sucedido que havia
até dentes humanos despontando dos ossos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Doutor, retomou a enfermeira, e agora ele
mordeu o dedo da Dra. Kelly, a dentista que o senhor contratou para verificar
os dentes. Quase arranca o dedo da coitada, doutor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Vou conversar com ele.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Dr. Athanasios entrou
no quarto onde estava seu paciente, aproximou-se de vagar, e, com voz suave, tentou
iniciar um diálogo com o seu Ataliba, um homem idoso, com oitenta e três anos, de
rosto pálido e aparência debilitada. Seus olhos fundos e estáticos revelavam um
ar de profunda tristeza e melancolia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Não querendo ser
invasivo, o Dr. Athanasios começou fazendo algumas perguntas de rotina e
medindo a pressão de seu paciente cuidadosamente.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Sua pressão está perfeita, seu Ataliba, o
senhor está sentindo alguma coisa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Fome – retrucou ­– estou cansado dessa
sopinha.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Mas, seu Ataliba, tentou explicar o médico,
com extrema cautela e paciência – o senhor ainda não pode comer coisas muito sólidas,
embora já esteja quase pronto para ir embora para casa – disse o Dr.
Athanasios, fingindo que estava prestando atenção no &amp;nbsp;maxilar, mas observando a reação de seus
olhos. No fundo estava mesmo tentando descobrir pistas de algum problema de
alguma depressão ou alteração comportamental, que nesse caso, deveria
encaminhar a um psiquiatra. Talvez um transtorno bipolar, pensou consigo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Seu Ataliba – continuou ele – tenho uma
notícia boa, estou pensando em lhe dar alta no domingo, para que o senhor possa
passar o dia dos pais em casa, que acha?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Não acho nada, retrucou em tom ríspido,
demonstrando mais tristeza ainda.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Parece que a notícia não o entusiasmou
muito, seu Ataliba, não está contente em ir para casa?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Seu Ataliba deixou escorrer uma lágrima e disse:
por que deveria?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Pois o senhor vai ficar com sua família
agora, não acha isso bom?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Não acho doutor, será uma hora triste.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Por que diz isso?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Dr. Athanasios, já estou no fim da vida. Meu
filho ganhou uma promoção. Ele sempre lutou por isso e agora vai se mudar para
o exterior. Então, &amp;nbsp;conversamos sobre
isso e ele decidiu me colocar num asilo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;­­–&amp;nbsp; O que ocorreu com o dedo da Dra. Kelly,&amp;nbsp; seu Ataliba?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;­– Eu não mordi o
dedo dela, doutor,&amp;nbsp; quer dizer, eu mordi
sim, mas&amp;nbsp; foi sem querer mesmo. Ela pediu
para eu morder uma coisa parecida com uma goma de mascar.&amp;nbsp; Eu comecei morder e ela disse, ‘morda com
força, seu Ataliba, com força’. Então eu mordi, mas ela não tirou o dedo, que
posso fazer?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Dr. Athanasios pensou
um pouco antes de continuar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Mas, seu Ataliba, não pode pensar assim,
logo nos vamos viver indefinidamente. Já conseguimos a cura para a maioria das
doenças. Não lhe parece animador saber que podemos viver para sempre? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Dr. Athanasios
percebeu uma mudança acentuada no comportamento do seu Ataliba. Lembrou-se que,
depois do tratamento com o osso do cavalo, ele tornou-se uma pessoa brincalhona
e um verdadeiro fanfarrão. Depois do tratamento com os ossos do boi, tornou-se
mais autoritário. E agora estava se comportando como um velho ranzinza e
rabugento. Algo deveria estar acontecendo. Pensou até na possibilidade de
alguma informação celular que desconhecia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Viver para sempre para que, Doutor? Eu
trabalhei a vida toda para sustentar minha família. Tivemos momentos de alegria
e de dificuldade, mas sempre estivemos juntos. Eduquei meu filho, trabalhando
duro. E agora me sinto sozinho. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Eu entendo, então está chateado pela decisão
de seu filho?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Não, doutor, disse num tom de voz mais
baixo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Eu não sinto rancor nenhum. Foi para isso
que eu o criei. Ele está seguindo o seu caminho, e eu, o meu. São coisas da
vida, doutor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Por que está tão triste, seu Ataliba, pode
me contar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Dr. Athanasios sempre
tratou seus pacientes no que tange aos aspectos físicos, mas se comoveu com as
palavras do Dr. Ataliba e decidiu ser mais acessível e aberto.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;O que está deixando o
senhor triste, seu Ataliba? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– O que adianta viver para sempre, doutor, se
minha Belinha não está mais comigo? O que adianta viver para sempre e sozinho?
Para que viver para sempre se ainda há tanta dor, tanto egoísmo, tanta inveja, tanta
mesquinharia, tanta maldade e abandono. Não seria horrível viver para sempre
com desigualdade, solidão, guerras?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Mas, seu Ataliba, o ser humano está mudando
moralmente também – &amp;nbsp;disse tossindo um
pouco, sem muita convicção.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Seu Ataliba guardou
um pouco de silêncio e depois continuou:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Eu vejo o seu empenho e sua dedicação para
que as pessoas vivam melhor, Dr. Athanasios, o senhor é um homem bom e quer que
as pessoas também vivam sem sofrimento, mas há certas coisas que o senhor não
pode consertar com seus tratamentos genéticos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Dr. Athanasios ficou um pouco pensativo
sobre o que fazer.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Conte mais sobre o que está sentindo, seu
Ataliba, como o senhor pode descrever o que sente?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Sinto como se minha vida fosse um círculo,
que a cada dia vai se fechando de vagar, e cada vez que ele se fecha, eu perco
alguma coisa. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Não posso caminhar
para onde quero, ler livros, ouvir músicas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; – Mas nós podemos tratar de sua visão e
audição, seu Ataliba...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Seu
Ataliba não se importou e continuou:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Hoje me sinto limitado, cada vez mais
limitado, e até o que bebo e como é controlado. Só me dão essa gosma que vocês
chamam de sopa. Eu queria comer um doce, e o hospital inteiro correu atrás de
mim e confiscou meu doce. Queria andar no jardim, queria respirar ar puro...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Dr.
Athanasios pensou mais um pouco e achou que o Rev. Lemos seria uma boa pessoa
para o animar, afinal ele era um veterano capelão e sabia lidar com essas questões.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; – Seu Ataliba, o senhor gostaria de conversar
um pouco com o nosso capelão, o Rev. Rodolfo Lemos?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; – Aquele velho gagá? Não, obrigado, ele é muito
carinhoso, já passou por aqui três vezes e sempre se esquece de que já falou
comigo. Sempre me dá a mesma coisa para eu ler, lê o salmo 22/23, diz que Jesus é
a ressurreição e a vida e quem crer nele terá a vida eterna. Eu já conheço
essas passagens todas. Então eu não quero falar com ele. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; – Mas o senhor não acredita em Deus? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; – Não sei se Deus existe ou não. Não sei se esses
assuntos religiosos podem me ajudar. Eu prefiro não ser influenciado.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; – Dr. Athanasios sentiu que houve uma melhora
no comportamento de seu Ataliba e resolveu voltar outra hora. Mas antes de sair
disse:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; – Vou conversar com seu filho antes de lhe dar
alta e estarei aqui para me despedir, mesmo que seja no domingo. Quero
continuar sendo seu amigo e o visitar de vez em quando.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Desta
vez, o Dr. Athanasios ficou surpreso com o próprio comportamento, mas também queria
acompanhar o resultado de suas pesquisas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Dr.
Athanasios se despediu e deixou o seu Ataliba deitado, olhando para cima,
pensativo...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Como
prometera, domingo de manhã, já estava no hospital Cruz Celta para se despedir
do paciente e novo amigo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Não
tardou para aparecer um jovem executivo, bem vestido, cabelos bem assentados,
óculos escuros e barba por fazer.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; O
Dr. Athanasios ficou por perto e pôde ouvir a conversa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; O
jovem executivo entrou, e, depois de cumprimentar a todos, dirigiu-se até onde
estava o seu Ataliba e o abraçou efusivamente, um abraço longo e apertado e, já
com os olhos cheios de lágrimas, indagou:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;– Pai, o senhor já está pronto?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;– Sim, filho, já podemos ir. É hoje que vai me
levar para o asilo?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;– Não, pai, hoje não.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;– Então vamos passar o dia dos pais juntos?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;– Não, pai, não vamos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;– Seu Ataliba abaixou a cabeça triste.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;– Bem, eu a estava pronto para esta hora,
filho, mas antes de ir, queria pedir desculpas por não ter sido um pai presente
e lhe dar mais atenção, meu filho. Eu sempre quis ficar mais ao seu lado, mas a
vida foi dura comigo e eu precisava trabalhar. Perdoe-me, meu filho. Bem, agora
já podemos ir para o asilo, concluiu enxugando algumas lágrimas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;– Não vamos para o asilo, pai, vamos para
casa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Seu
Ataliba não entendeu e abriu bem os olhos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;– Sim, pai, eu pensei bem e resolvi não
aceitar a promoção. Quero que também me perdoe e que saiba que eu o amo. Quero
que fique com a gente para termos tempo de conversar. E que daqui para frente todos
os dias serão &amp;nbsp;dia dos pais...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Quando estavam de saída, seu Ataliba viu o Dr.
Athanasios se aproximando e o chamou.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 35.4pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Hei, doutor, quero me despedir e agradecer
por tudo. Vou pensar em tudo que me disse, e acho que agora não vou precisar
mais disso. ­– disse, entregando um pacotinho de doce de amendoim. – Pode ficar
com esses pés-de-moleque. Obrigado por tudo Dr. Athanasios. ­ E, depois de
haver apanhado seus pertences, ia deixar para trás os panfletos sobre a vida
eterna ofertados pelo Rev. Lemos, mas mudou de ideia e também resolveu os levar por precaução.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

Athanasios ficou observando a partida dos dois e aproveitou que estava por trás
de uma persiana para dar um sorriso amplo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

emulate pheromones in order not to tease those pervert big ants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

walk five more blocks to work at a fabric store.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

sacrifice something, actually more than that: she had to sacrifice a shower, a
quick hot meal, a quick nap. Nope, Vulpy&#39;s life was made of &amp;nbsp; sacrifices

the avenue bus was rewarded because it was the same bus her cousin and best
friend used to take.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

back seats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;goog-gtc-translatable&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;So, if she were really fast, just a few more firm
steps would suffice to reach out cousin Foxy, which, cleverly, always tried to
save a seat to Vulpy by taking a bench at the back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;goog-gtc-translatable&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Actually, it was a
trick Foxy had developed: that is, sitting on the last seat by the window, but
occupying half of it, pretending she was arranging her backpack while
giving time to wait for her cousin Vulpy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;goog-gtc-translatable&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;However, they had
to be quick and synchronized, if they wanted to go sitting and chatting along
the way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

asked, expecting a positive answer, since Vulpy had not yet overcome mourning
the death of her older brother, who incidentally had died after being hit by a random

very clear who shot first, whether the police or the bad guys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

ainda se chamava Dores da Boa Esperança. Terminado o ginásio, foi estudar
teologia no Seminário Presbiteriano do Sul. Depois de formado, voltou para seu
Estado natal para atuar como pastor em meio a pessoas simples e pobres.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Nesse momento, já forjava o pensamento que seria
um dos pilares da Teologia da Libertação, movimento que propunha que a religião
fosse interpretada e praticada sob a perspectiva dos mais pobres, questionando,
por exemplo, a noção de pecado e baseando-se, principalmente, em princípios de
amor e na liberdade. Acreditava que a religião deveria ser mais um meio para
melhorar o mundo dos vivos do que para garantir algo às pessoas depois de
mortas. Contudo, suas ideias não foram bem recebidas pela Igreja. Como o
teólogo e escritor Leonardo Boff, seu colega e amigo, sofreria retaliações
pelos pensamentos que expôs e pela postura que adotou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Depois
de uma temporada de estudos em Nova York, voltou ao Brasil logo após o golpe
militar de 1964 e foi denunciado como subversivo pela Igreja Presbiteriana.
Para escapar daqueles que o perseguiam, retornou aos Estados Unidos junto de
sua família. Lá, à convite da United Presbyterian Church – EUA (a Igreja
Presbiteriana estadunidense) e do presidente do seminário teológico de
Princeton, escreveu sua tese de doutorado, intitulada &quot;Towards a Theology
of Liberation&quot;, na qual colocava no papel as ideias que tomariam corpo
como movimento...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
