Unele mai grave, altele mai ascu\u0163ite, unele mai guturale \u015fi altele mai pi\u0163ig\u0103iate. De\u015fi mesele sunt destul de r\u0103sfirate, atunci c\u00e2nd oamenii chiar \u00ee\u015fi doresc s\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi spun\u0103 unul altuia lucruri, \u00eencep s\u0103 nu \u00ee\u015fi mai dea seama de c\u00e2t de tare \u00eencep s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103.

Nu conteaz\u0103 locul, e mai pu\u0163in important. \u015ei \u00eentr-una din serile alea lungi de var\u0103, c\u00e2nd \u0163i se p\u0103rea ciudat s\u0103 te \u00eentorci acas\u0103 c\u00e2t \u00eenc\u0103 mai era lumin\u0103 afar\u0103, chiar dac\u0103 asta \u00eensemna s\u0103 stai afar\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la 10 seara, z\u0103ceam pe banc\u0103 \u00een fa\u0163a por\u0163ii lui Marius, un prieten de-ai mei de acolo. Mai erau cu noi veri\u0219orul meu mai mic \u015fi al\u0163i doi copii din vecini. Mai sus pe strad\u0103 fa\u0163\u0103 de noi, locuia o b\u0103tr\u00e2n\u0103 despre care nu \u015ftiam foarte multe, dec\u00e2t c\u0103 b\u0103rbatul ei murise de ceva timp, fiica ei plecase deja de ceva vreme de acolo \u015fi lucra pe undeva prin Italia, iar ea r\u0103m\u0103sese singur\u0103 s\u0103 vad\u0103 de cas\u0103. Avea o curte mic\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 animale. Astea le \u015ftiam de la bunica.<\/p>\n Alergasem toat\u0103 ziua dintr-o parte \u00een alta \u015fi acum l\u00e2ncezeam obosi\u0163i, dar nu \u00eenvin\u015fi. \u015ei atunci, Marius spune:<\/p>\n \u201eB\u0103i, hai s\u0103 mergem s\u0103 arunc\u0103m cu pietre \u00een geam la baba aia de st\u0103 singur\u0103\u201d \u015fi r\u00e2nje\u015fte cu ochii, ca \u015fi cum o idee mai bun\u0103 dec\u00e2t asta era imposibil s\u0103 ni se \u00eenfiripe \u00een momentele alea. Nu \u015ftiu dac\u0103 a fost asta, oboseala general\u0103 sau dorin\u0163a de a m\u0103 integra \u00een grup, dar eu am fost primul care a zis c\u0103 \u201eDa, b\u0103i, hai!\u201d.<\/p>\n Ne scul\u0103m to\u0163i \u00een picioare, iar \u00een drum spre casa babei ne uit\u0103m prin \u015fan\u0163uri \u015fi pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 garduri de pietre, pietricele sau orice altceva cu care putem s\u0103 \u00eei lans\u0103m \u00eenspre geamurile care d\u0103deau la strad\u0103. Avea un gard relativ mic \u015fi aveam s\u0103 afl\u0103m c\u0103 nu ne era deloc greu s\u0103 \u00eei lovim ferestrele. Dup\u0103 ceva timp i se aprinde lumina din hol, deschide u\u015fa \u015fi \u0163ip\u0103:<\/p>\n \u201eCare e\u015fti m\u0103 acolo de dai cu pietre, nebunule?
