mateus

—

It was Saturday. Mateus, 10, woke up at 8 am (as usual). He was happy. Today, “waking up early” was not an obligation; it was a choice. He had spent the week imagining everything he would have to do in such a short time: play ball in the field, pawn, marble, fly a kite, ride a bike, jump in the pool, run, run and run; to simply be a child. More. Be child-free, on a sunny Saturday.

It was Saturday. Mateus, 10 years old, did not read the newspaper. Mateus, 10 years old, did not read the weather forecast.

It was Saturday. Rainy day.
