Reality is stranger than fiction, or at least, it's capable of matching a scene from everyday life with a sequence with a surprising ending. It happened this summer, in a village in the Pyrenees, at the beginning of a placid afternoon. A child riding a bike whizzed around a narrow corner, causing a corresponding scare to a neighbor who bumped into him and, apparently, knew the child. The woman admonished him, without shouting, but very seriously, in this way: "Be careful with the bike, because if you run over an old lady..." I'll leave the sentence there. How could I continue? "Could you hurt her badly? Could you kill her? Will the Mossos d'Esquadra and an ambulance come?" Well, no, the warning was: "Be careful with the bike, because if you run over an old lady, your parents will have to pay a fortune.""lots of money in the old lady."
