Read this text about a book by Ignácio de Loyola Brandão:
The protagonist of this book is a boy who is very proud of his father, a cultured, intelligent man who knows words like no one else. If the boy's friends want to know the meaning of a word, it's his father they always turn to. Want to know what epithelium is? Saddlebag? Lunatic? He always has an answer. The friends' curiosity is so great that the boy soon realizes: what if he started negotiating the meaning of the words? Gorgolon? It's worth a shot of a warship. Boredom? A popsicle ice cream, brought by the owner of the ice cream parlor. Pantomime? A gum.
[…] And, like this, he goes on learning these and other valuable lessons and realizing with his father how much reading is necessary, as the more words you know and use, the easier and more interesting the your life.
