To whom?" said Marrancello. "Not to whom, but to what ," the man replied. "You have to stone a bottle and shatter it." "That's all? What's the catch?" “Oh, no cheating,” the man assured. «The bottle is very large and certainly won't break on the first try. But if you don't feel like it..." and he left the sentence hanging, waiting for the other to take the bait. "Who, us ?" said Marrancello, in a resentful tone. «Did you hear, Lanubio? The dummy thinks we don't feel like it » and he burst out laughing. Then Lanubius, the leader, also laughed and finally, so as not to feel outdone, Calinius also laughed.
The Earth-Eating Knight was satisfied. The boys were finally going to put an end to that hateful bottle. In short he explained to them where it was, reiterating that it was very large, even if he did not say Phone Number Data how large, and recommended that they reduce it into tiny pieces, so much so that it would be impossible to glue them together to reassemble it. The kids would make some money off of it. Before leaving, he tossed them a coin each as an advance. The kids agreed and promised that they would stone the bottle the next morning. They would also keep one piece of glass each, as a trophy, and another for the customer, as evidence. So, the next morning, after the sun had risen and had made some progress in the sky, the entire Stone Thrower Band set out to carry out the mission entrusted to them.
At a marching pace, their pockets full of stones, some whistling, some looking around like a bodyguard, some smoking from a strange pipe, the three kids crossed the Nameless Alley and the outskirts of the city, entered the center of Boscamaro, which was already crowded, and they went out towards the path to the beech forest. After about an hour the Gang found the bottle. “This is a really big bottle,” Calinius said in surprise. «This is a truly enormous bottle», added Marrancello in amazement. «This is a truly gigantic bottle», declared Lanubio in amazement. But the amazement at that far-fetched object did not last long. Work is work, they had a customer to serve and couldn't waste time talking. So they stuck their hands in their pockets, took out a nice rounded stone, one of those found in rivers, smoothed by the flowing water, and started stone-throwing. Tonk! Tonk! Tonk! The man had told them that the bottle wouldn't break with the first shot, so they didn't lose heart and threw a second stone each.
