He only went outside on sunny days, so that he had a companion - his shadow. He would look at it over his shoulder to talk to it and smile. He would quickly turn his face towards it on the steps, in case it slipped into a house. He would repeat some spicy gossip to prevent it from growing bored and slipping away. At breakfast he would pour two cups of milk; at lunch two plates of food. He would return home at sunset, sit on a stone and weep until sunrise. _______________ Translated by Anne Fairbairn
