Speaker A
No, it isn't yours.
Speaker A
I cannot read.
Speaker A
Will you read it for me?
Speaker A
Come in, yeah, come in.
Speaker A
But take off your shoes this time.
Speaker A
Yes, barefoot, like my feet.
Speaker A
Bare, bare is fine.
Speaker A
The floor is pleasantly warm and clean, it is how I like my broad souls at home, warm and clean.
Speaker A
I'll close the door so we will remain undisturbed.
Speaker A
Go ahead to the kitchen table.
Speaker A
Yeah, let's do it there.
Speaker A
Are you thirsty?
Speaker A
Some water, something for your dry mouth?
Speaker A
But I should warn you, I don't have it cold, you'll take it warm as well, of course, it's hot as hell here, right?
Speaker A
That's probably why you began to sweat, you are dressed, not half naked like I am.
Speaker A
I bet you're hungry too.
Speaker A
After all, it's lunchtime soon.
Speaker A
Yes, you look very hungry.
Speaker A
I don't like to see my new friend this way, you'll get something to put between your teeth soon, I promise.
Speaker A
I have bread, some eggs, and a delicious Sicilian salami ready for my friend.
Speaker A
I could enjoy it all by myself, but I'd rather share it with a hungry one.
Speaker A
It's big enough for both of us.
Speaker A
Thick and nearly four hands in length.
Speaker A
Show me your hands.
Speaker A
Place them next to mine.
Speaker A
No, it is longer than mine and yours together.
Speaker A
I meant four of my size.
Speaker A
Ah, let's just say it's big enough to satisfy the obvious hunger I read on your face.
Speaker A
What matters is that my new good friend will be full.
Speaker A
You look like someone who reads well.
Speaker A
What I'm trying to say is that you are probably able to read big and thick long books in one go.
Speaker A
All night long.
Speaker A
The hard, huge ones to read, you know the ones I mean, the rare difficult ones that not everyone can fully grasp.
Speaker A
Yes.
Speaker A
I bet you read and understand well.
Speaker A
You look smart.
Speaker A
I never guessed that anyone would write me a letter.
Speaker A
It must be someone who doesn't know me, actually, everybody knows that I'm not made to read, everyone in the neighborhood knows it.
Speaker A
Except you, because you are new here, you couldn't know it, right?
Speaker A
I don't need to read, I always find someone willing to read everything I give.
Speaker A
Someone like you.
Speaker A
But before you read, let me give you something to drink.
Speaker A
Your mouth looks very dry, open like the one of a thirsty dog in the sun.
Speaker A
Too dry to read properly.
Speaker A
But please, sit down.
Speaker A
I'm wondering what is written in that letter.
