SUMMARY
In this story, a young man starts a communication with a young woman of his acquaintance through a boy who acts as a messenger (or perhaps a bit more than a messenger). The woman is sitting on a bench in the park. The man arrives, sees her and calls a boy who is nearby. He asks him to deliver a message to the woman and gives him a tip. The woman answers the man’s message using the same way. But the messenger conveys the messages using very different words to the ones he gets. Anyhow, man and woman understand what he says. But at the end, the man thinks that, for an unmistakable understanding of the communication, it’s necessary a written message.
