more people arrived to the choir already amounted to thousands. No, for now, stop the crowd. All resulted from a man who stopped to look at the infinite. Something strange appeared in his speech. With observation, the gesture made involuntarily, had been relaxed to be at peace with himself. He had seen the wonder. The man looked for a long time the appearance that, in view of passersby, it was more than the daily landscape. When he left the site, a curious came to inspect the area. One's eyes filled with brightness, is now tilted to one side, sometimes the other. Came a third and fourth and it amounted to ten when the news that something wonderful was impressed men ran through the city. Hundreds of people watched the infinite. The reference point was a little more distant than any distance. Upon arrival, journalists began interviews, exchanges of views, anecdotes. Someone had seen the figure of a monkey jumping over the rainbow, the other is a dance of stars as a kaleidoscope, the next one, the planets gathered singing Ode to Joy. Each distorted reality according to his fancy. There was no doubt, everyone had enjoyed the wonder.
