NAME:

the land they came from

Tuti, the marmoset, arrives one morning on a large white ship. He jumps onto the dock while the sailors unload the cotton bales. Afterwards, he heads to the city.
He finds a pigeon that flies without answering them, a cat that wants to scratch him and a mouse that bites him!
– What a weird place! – says Tuti.
– And he begins to regret having left his friends so far away, in his land...

Suddenly, near a bench, Tuti sees an old abandoned dog.
- I see that you come from far away - murmurs the dog - Tell me your life in the land where you were born. I'll tell you mine on the mountain when I was a good sheepdog.
Since that day, there has always been a large naked dog on the streets of the old port, with an amusing marmoset on its back!
