Read:
He was once a sad, thin, paunchy boy from the hinterland of Pernambuco.
In the damned sun of noon, he was sitting in the dust of the road, imagining nonsense, when a fat vicar on horseback passed by:
"You there, boy, where does this road go?"
— It's not going to go: we're going to take it.
— Cute little guy! What's your name?
— I don't call myself, the others call me Zé.
