don't exist.
- Did l say blue?
-Yes.
Oh, no, l surely meant red apples.
Why did you say "blue apples"?
Why? Because l sometimes mix some
colors up.
-What do you mean?
-What?
Have you heard anything about color
blindness? l'm color blind.
Why are you looking at me like that?
l'm a sick man. That's all.
- Brother!
-What?
You're my brother.
And how could it all happen?
You see, l was about ten then.
Or about that. l rememberthat something
