A cat named Faro-Fino made such a wreck in a house's rat room
an old woman that the survivors, not in the mood to leave their dens, were on the verge of starving to death.
The case becoming very serious, they decided to meet in an assembly for the
study of the issue. They waited for this one night when Faro-Fino was meowing along the roof, making sonnets to the moon.
"I think," said one of them, "that the way to defend ourselves against Faro-Fino is his
tie a bell around your neck. As soon as he gets close, the rattle gives him away and we get out in time.
Palms and braves greeted the bright idea. The project was approved with
delirium. He only voted against a grumpy rat, who asked to speak and said:
“It's all right. But who will tie the bell around Faro-Fino's neck?
General silence. One apologized for not knowing how to tie a knot. Another, because he wasn't a fool.
All, because they didn't have the courage. And the assembly dissolved in the midst of general consternation.
Saying it is easy – doing is what they are!

The Three Birds of King Herod (Legend)
Along the sad road to Bethlehem, the Virgin Mary, with the Child Jesus in her arms, fled from King Herod.
Distressed and sad, she was halfway there when she met a pigeon, which asked her:
– Where are you going, Maria?
“We fled from the wickedness of King Herod,” she replied.
But as at that moment the tromp of the soldiers who were chasing her could be heard, the pigeon flew in fear.
Maria continued the restless journey and, a little further on, she found a quail that asked her the same question as the pigeon and, like the pigeon, aware of the danger, tried to flee.
Finally, he met a lark, who, as soon as he learned of the danger that frightened the Virgin, hid her and the boy behind the thick stand of trees that existed there.
Herod's soldiers found the pigeon and learned from it the path followed by the fugitives.
Later on, the quail did not hesitate to follow the pigeon's example.
After some time of marching, they appeared in front of the lark.
– Did you see a girl pass by here with a child in her lap?
- Yes, I saw it - replied the little bird - They went that way.
And he showed the soldiers a path that could be seen in the distance. And so he turned his evil persecutors away from the Virgin and Jesus.
God punished the pigeon and the quail.
The first, who had a beautiful voice, has since uttered an eternal complaint.

Defenestration
Luis Fernando Verissimo
Certain words have the wrong meaning. Fallacy, for example, must be the name of something vaguely vegetable. People should create fallacies in all their varieties. The Amazon Fallacy. The mysterious Black Fallacy. Hermeneut was supposed to be a member of a sect of Hermetic wanderers. Wherever they arrived, everything would get complicated.
– The hermeneutics are coming!
– Oh, now no one will understand anything else…
The hermeneutics would occupy the city and paralyze all productive activities with their riddles and ambiguous phrases. By withdrawing, they would leave the population prostrated by confusion. It would take weeks for things to regain their obvious meaning. Before that, everything would seem to have a hidden meaning. (…)
Romp had to be a mechanical part.
– We'll have to change the prank. And the vector is worn out.
But no words fascinated me as much as defenestration. At first it was the fascination of ignorance. I didn't know what it meant, I never remembered looking up in the dictionary and imagining things. Defending must be an exotic act performed by few people. It even had a lubricious tone.
Sidewalk philanderers should whisper in the ear of women:
– Defenders?
The answer would be a slap in the face. But some… oh, some defended.
It could also be something against pests and insects. People might have the house defenestered. Thus, there would be professional defenders. Or maybe it would be one of those mysterious words that enclosed formal documents? “In these terms, it calls for defenestration…” It was a word full of implications. I might even have used it once in a while, as in:
- That's a defenestrate.
Implying that it was a person, like, how to say? Defenestrated. Even wrong was the exact word. One day I finally looked it up in the dictionary. And there's Aurelião who won't let me lie. “Defenestration” comes from the French “defenestration”. Feminine noun. The act of throwing someone or something out of a window.
The act of throwing someone or something out of the window! No more ignorance, but not my fascination. An act like this only has a proper name and place in dictionaries for some very strong reason. After all, there is, as far as I know, no words for the act of throwing someone or something through the door, or down the stairs. Why, then, defenestration?
Perhaps it was a French habit that had fallen into disuse. Like snuff. An addiction like smoking or drugs, suppressed in time. (…)
Who among us has never felt the compulsion to throw someone or something out of a window? The tipper was invented to discourage defenestration. All modern architecture, with its outer walls of reinforced glass and no openings, can be an unconscious reaction to this human lust, never fully mastered. On honeymoon, in a 17th-floor matrimonial suite.
- Dear…
– Mmmm?
– There's something I need to tell you…
– Speak up, love!
– I'm a defender.
And the bride, in her innocence, walks to bed:
– I'm ready to try everything with you!
On another occasion, a mob surrounds the man who has just fallen onto the sidewalk. Between moans, he points up and mouths:
– I was defenestrated…
Someone comments:
- Underdog. And then they threw him out the window?
Right now it gave me a strange compulsion to rip the paper out of the machine, crumple it up, and defenest this chronicle. If she leaves, it's because I resisted.
a) To dedeetize insects in the streets.
b) Make a request to the judge.

How many died for the freedom of their homeland? How many have been arrested or beaten for freedom to speak their minds? How many fought for the liberation of slaves?
On the intellectual plane, the theme of freedom occupies the best minds, from Plato and Socrates, passing through St. Augustine, Spinoza, Locke, Hobbes, Hegel, Kant, Stuart Mill, Tolstoy and many others. How to reconcile freedom with the inevitable restrictive action of the State? How are essential freedoms transformed into citizen rights? These questions shocked the best neurons in philosophy, but they weren't the only ones to galvanize controversy.
But we live today in a society in which the majority no longer suffers attacks on these vital freedoms, whose conquest or reconquest has unleashed extraordinary physical and intellectual energies. Our appetite for freedom has become bourgeois. It has been lured (corrupted?) by the temptations of the consumer society.
What is perceived as freedom for a peaceful contemporary citizen who votes, speaks what he wants, lives under the cloak of the law (albeit lame) and has the right to move freely?
The first temple of bourgeois freedom is the supermarket. Despite the harrowing paycheck restrictions, it is the abundantly stocked shelves that satisfy the freedom of consumption (not many decades ago, on the shelves of our warehouses there was sometimes a lack of butter, sometimes milk, sometimes bean). There was no communist ideal that resisted the temptations of the supermarket. Right after the fall of the Berlin Wall, eating a banana became an icon of freedom in Eastern Europe.
The second modern freedom is own transportation. BMW or bicycle, what counts is the feeling of being able to sit in the vehicle and decide which direction to start. We may not even go anywhere, but it's nice to know that there's a vehicle parked at the door, permanently granting you the freedom to go wherever you go. Someone has said that Vespa and Lambretta removed the revolutionary fervor that could have driven Italy to communism.
The third freedom is television. It's the window to the world. It's the freedom to choose the channels (restricted in totalitarian countries), to watch a stupid program or a game, or be as close to the news as a President of the Republic – who in dramatic moments can watch the same scenes for the CNN. It's being around kings, heroes, criminals, super athletes or cads metamorphosed into TV presenters.
A recent "freedom" is the cell phone. It's the special taste of being able to talk to anyone, anytime, wherever you are. Important? For some people, it's a revolution in everyday life and in the profession. For others, it's just the pleasure of knowing that distance no longer restricts communication, no matter how silly.
There is also one last, newer, still elite freedom: the internet and e-mail. It's a mail without the adventures and delays of the postman, instantaneous, without remorse for the length of the message (damn the recipient of our megabaitic attachment) and that it is available to us wherever let us be. And coupled with it comes the web, with its cacophony of information, excessive and mismatched, where people buy and sell, consume philosophy and pornography, art and emulation.
It causes a certain intellectual discomfort to see philosophical discussions replaced by consumer objects about freedom and the heroism of the acts that led to its preservation in multiple domains of existence human. But that's our nature, we only care about what we don't have or what is threatened. If there is any consolation in this, it is in the knowledge that the pre-eminence of our consumer freedoms marks the victory of having conquered the other, more vital freedoms. But unfortunately, reveling in the alienation of consumerism is off the horizon for many. And if the philosopher Joãozinho Trinta is right, it is not because he disdains luxuries, but because he cannot enjoy them.
