short story
Once upon a time there was a sad, thin, paunchy boy from the hinterland of Pernambuco.

In the damn sun of noon, he was sitting in the dust of the road, imagining nonsense, when a fat vicar on horseback passed by:

"You there, boy, where does this road go?"

— She won't go: we'll take her.

— Cute little guy! What's your name?

— I don't call myself, the others call me Zé.
