Father and son get-together


And so he learned how, among the best moments of his life, were those that had been so intimately and happily shared

    “Well, my son, I was thinking. It seems like everything is alright at the farm. I don´t see any problem if I take Saturday off, so we can spend the day together. I wanted to propose they we both go together and take the goats out to graze in the meadow.

   What do you think? If you like, your Mom says she can prepare something for us to eat out there. I asked her to join us, but she says she has stuff to do, and you know how she is when she has chores pending. Anyway, we could both go and spend the day together.”

     So, Magnifico fell happily asleep on that night. It was quite rare that they could go out together during the day. There were always all these chores and things to do around the farm, and not enough time to do them. Early next morning, after milking the cows and looking after the sheep they headed out to Magnifico’s favourite spot. It was a clearing in the woods. From there, on clear days, the volcanoes could be seen. And on that precise Saturday, they could perfectly be seen in the distance.
