Un Martedì Diverso
Marta apre la finestra della sua cucina e osserva il giardino bagnato di pioggia. Avrebbe voluto leggere il libro che ha iniziato domenica, ma oggi le cose sono diverse. Sua madre le ha chiesto di accompagnarla dal fioraio, perché vuole regalare fiori a un'amica che non vede da mesi. Mentre Marta si prepara, pensa a quanto sia strano come le giornate più ordinarie possano trasformarsi in momenti importanti. Nel pomeriggio, mentre camminano insieme sotto l'ombrello, scopre che quella visita farà felice non soltanto l'amica della madre, ma anche lei stessa. A volte, riflette Marta, è proprio nei piccoli gesti che troviamo il significato più profondo.
