Pedro si sadol. Stôl bol čistý. Na rohu bol jediný keramický hrnček, prázdny. Myslel si, že je to možno uvítací darček. Nepil kávu, ale bol smädný.
Šiel do malej kuchynky a naplnil hrnček vodou. Keď si znova sadol, vo dverách jeho kóje sa objavil muž s bradou. Muž sa na hrnček pozrel na dlhú sekundu.
"To bol môj hrnček," povedal. "Sedel som tam predtým." Usmial sa. "To je v poriadku. Vitaj. Ja som Diego."
Pedro sa začervenal. Ospravedlnil sa a ponúkol hrnček späť. Diego sa zasmial. "Nechaj si ho. Považuj to za svoj uvítací darček. Ale najprv sa opýtaj na kávu. Stroj je zložitejší, ako vyzerá."
Neskôr mu Diego ukázal, ako kávovar funguje. Trvalo to desať minút.
