Giorgio, remember when we sat
at a desk together in the mechanics curriculum?
You were very good—I, on the other hand, was not—
and for class assignments, I copied from you.
Giorgio, remember when you had
to leave school during the mechanics curriculum?
You had to work—to give your family a hand.
I, on the other hand, could stay—I continued the curriculum.
Giorgio, is it true, that, other than your work,
in the evening, as a hobby, you spend time on mechanics?
You think I finished the curriculum and indeed I am a graduate—
yet I have a huge handicap: I understand nothing.
