Mundo Pequeno II

- ... so my friend brought these guys to play basketball with us. I could tell they weren't from here. They wore shoes like yours. So I asked "do you know Rodrigo?". And they said "yes".


Fato verídico, onde Mel se encontrou por acaso com brasileiros que eu conhecia. De hoje em diante, segundo ele, para qualquer brasileiro que vier a conhecer a pergunta será a mesma: "Do you know Rodrigo?". Apesar de não fazer sentido nenhum, foi uma tentativa e um acerto...

Para quem quiser conferir na íntegra.
