ON THE BUS

The man took a seat by the pretty, attractive woman in the bus. He was aware that reading exotic books made him look like a rather interesting person, so he produced that old book he had just bought at a second-hand bookshop a while ago written in Georgian. He knew no Georgian at all, but that was not a problem, that was just a tool. He began to turn the pages and then laugh; he pretended to find the text funny. Meanwhile, the woman was looked at askance by the man, who analysed her reactions. But she did not even smile. Actually, after some ten minutes the woman addressed the man saying:

"You are pathetic. You are the only person in the world who finds funny a Roman Right book written in Georgian".

Frantz Ferentz, 2012
