Hawaii Page #3

---

in a kind of large piece of land...

and he's the owner:

And one day...

The youngest daughter, a six-year-old,

starts to ask questions.

The family is like a type of period family

where no one talks at the table...

...unless the father gives permission,

right?

And the girl starts to ask questions

that really surprise her father...

One day, for instance, she asks...

why does he own all that land?

The father answers quite naturally that

he inherited it.

But the girl starts to get interested

in how could it be...

that people decide that one day

to the next something belongs to them.

It's a...

a game between the father's power

and this kind of perspective...

between innocent and communist,

so to speak, of the girl.

And the father doesn't know where it comes from.

It's a sort of tale about the fair and

the unfair'...

but from the innocence point of view,

of trying to... understand.

These questions lead the father

to see the girl as a germ...

of something that could devour him.

The novel is called 'The Germ'.

That's it...

- It's good.

- Mhm.

Are you thirsty?

Thanks.

We stoned a cat to death here...

That's right.

I didn't remember that I had been with you...

I remembered just now.

The truth is I remembered

that I had clone it with some kid, next to a river,

under a bridge...

Every time I see a dead cat I remember

that cat lying under the bridge all beat up.

Do you remember when we used

to go hunting with my dad?

I totally remember:

Your dad told my mom

that we were going fishing...

- Yeah... -

and she wouldn't worry.

She didn't even imagine that two hours later

we would be walking with a gun in our hands.

Well, it wasn't really a gun,

it was an air gun.

- Really?

- Yeah, it's still here.

If you see it you would laugh.

It's this small.

Of course, you were eight years old

and you remember it like a shotgun...

but it really wasn't.

No, my dad wasn't that crazy...

Still, you can shoot your eye out with

a pellet.

Should we go for a swim?

- We go there next to the bridge?

- I don't have a swim suit.

- Swim naked, I won't look.

- No, it's not about that

C'mon, let's go

Want to go eat?

I'll be right out

What?

- Can I?

- Wait.

It is very old... it is old and the...

the sight is crooked.

That's why... Try.

- Be careful.

- Yeah.

The sight was crooked right?

Did you aim to the right or to the left of the can?

No, I aimed at the can.

Let's see.

There you go.

I'll load it for you because...

Shall we make a bet to see

who can hit the can more?

- Okay.

- Yeah?

What do we bet?

No, nothing, just to know who is better:

Okay...

Mhm... Mhm..

Yeah, yeah... Uhuh...

Yeah... yeah, yeah...
