WHO  IS  HIDDEN  BEHIND  THE  CLOUDS   ?
		- Who is hidden behind the clouds ? The little dog asked to her mother. - No one ! Silly girl ! The mother answered. The little dog was disappointed and a bit offended, but didn't disarm. She wanted to know. So she searched the Cat, you know cats are special creatures who knows a lot of things, some even say that they are mediums, and everybody knows how in the auld lang syne cats were persecuted through witch hunt. But nowadays cats gave up the fairy rings - at least the Cat of my house. So the little dog found the Cat, the wise old Cat of our home. She asked him again : - Who is hidden behind the clouds ? My mother said that no one is, and that I'm a silly girl to ask that ! But you, you who knows so much, what do you answer to me ? - I answer that you're not at all a silly girl, but a curious one. You know how the ignorant people say that others are idiot not to admit their own silliness, or, in a more general way, how the guilty ones accuse their victims to make others believe that they are the victims and so they hide their guilt !  But why do you think that someone could be hidden behind the clouds ? You know that human beings go above and behind the clouds with their planes, and that they have never found anyone, don't you know ? - Old Cat of ours, I'm still very young, but I wasn't born yesterday ! Every animal knows that mankind is completely blind and deaf ! - You're right, little girl. But tell me why you think that someone is hidden behind the clouds. - Because I often hear his voice. Sometimes he whistles and even growls, while the trees are moving very quickly in the sky ; sometimes he rumbles very loudly while he throws lightnings all around ; sometimes he whispers gently through the trees ; and sometimes he is completely silent. Who is he ? Do you know him ? -Little girl, I know a lot of things. I will tell you. Just close your eyes and listen. And the little dog sat, closed her eyes and listened attentively to what the wise old Cat had to teach to a curious little girl.
