It was a Saturday evening. The streets became dark. Very soon I couldn’t see the clean street. Then a fat man was standing in front of a café. He went into it and the door was shut. I thought to myself: “I must have seen that man somewhere.” My curiosity was aroused, so I followed him into the café. I sat by a window, where I could see the man. To my surprise, he was that Mr Fat I met in the city of Vienna.
