Paul had the reputation of being a liar. One day he came home saying that he had seen two dragons of independence in the field spitting fire and reading photo-novels.
His mother grounded him, but the following week he came back to tell him that a piece of moon had fallen in the schoolyard, all full of holes, like cheese, and he tasted it and tasted like cheese. This time Paulo not only ran out of dessert, he was banned from playing football for a fortnight.
When the boy came back saying that all the butterflies on Earth had passed through Sia's farm Elpidia and wanted to form a flying carpet to transport him to the seventh heaven, his mother decided to take him to doctor. After the examination, Dr. Epaminondas shook his head:
– There's nothing to be done, Dona Coló. This boy is really a case of poetry.
