La passeggiata di un distratto
The walk of an absent-minded
Emme Edizioni
March 2009
In one of the best-known Tales on the Phone, Gianni Rodari has fun portraying a typical characteristic of childhood: absentmindedness.Little Giovanni is an absent-minded: he goes out for a walk and he looses bits of his body, because he's busy following his train of thought.It is typical of children, of all children, who think only about themselves, who live only in the present, in the moment that disappears immediately to make way for another moment, another idea, another adventure.But for every absent-minded child there is a mummy who loves him just the way he is and is always ready to put back the pieces he has lost along the way.
