Keep it on your phone →波莉飞过那不勒斯湾。水是绿色的。维苏威火山在海湾的另一边。空气中弥漫着盐和柴油的味道。
她沿着海岸飞行。她看到阳台上晾着的衣物和街道上的小摩托车。
她的目的地是水边的一座老建筑。一个小牌子上写着:安东·多恩动物学站,1872。
这是世界上最古老的海洋生物研究所。自1873年以来,它就开始研究章鱼。
波莉停在栏杆上。一位穿着实验室外套的年轻研究员打开了后门。她微笑着说:“进来吧。”
建筑物里有海洋的味道。长长的走廊两边是玻璃水箱。波莉看到沙丁鱼和一只小章鱼。
研究员的名字叫琪亚拉。“章鱼是这里最聪明的动物,”她说。
她们来到一个高大的水箱前。牌子上写着:意大利面,2.3公斤,太平洋巨型章鱼。里面是一只巨大的太平洋章鱼。它把自己折叠进一个管子里。一只金色的眼睛在观察。
“意大利面,”琪亚拉说,“这是波莉。”
章鱼没有动。但它在观察。
“你可以停在边缘上,”琪亚拉说。“它不会溅你水的。”
