“Dentro la palla di neve sulla scrivania di mio padre c'era un pinguino con una sciarpa a righe bianche e rosse. Quando ero piccola papà mi metteva seduta sulle sue ginocchia e prendeva in mano la palla di neve. La capovolgeva perché la neve si raccogliesse tutta in cima, poi con un colpo secco la ribaltava. E insieme guardavamo la neve che fioccava leggera intorno al pinguino. Il pinguino è tutto solo, pensavo, e mi angustiavo per lui. Lo dicevo a papà e lui mi rispondeva: "Non ti preoccupare, Susie, sta da re. È prigioniero di un mondo perfetto".”
