In the airport

My friend Pedro traveled. I took him to Galeão, where we waited three hours for his four-engine. During this time, there was no lack of subject to entertain ourselves, although we did not speak of vain and numerous current matters. We always had a lot of subject matter, and we didn't fail to explore it in depth. Although Pedro is extremely sparse of words and, strictly speaking, does not deign to utter any. At most, it emits syllables; the most is talk of gestures and expressions, by which it is admirably understood. It's your system.

ANDRADE, Carlos Drummond de. "Rocking chair". Rio de Janeiro: Record, 2009. (Fragment).
