I liked this tale of Luis F. Veríssimo that tells a story in which two people closer together in a way unthinkable occurs and where it is displayed as garbage that we throw away part of our life and we could add: "Tell me what rubbish strips and tell you who you are ". I copied it in Portuguese and English, enjoy it and watch what they collection of jars vocês ao lixo!.

- Good morning.

- And the lord of 612
- Yeah.
- I still do not know him personally ...
- Yeah ...
- Excuse my indiscretion, but I have seen your junk ...
- My what?
- Your trash.
- Ah ...
- never noticed that much. Your family may be small ...
- Actually it's just me.
- Mmmm. I also noticed that you use much canned food.
- is that I have to make my own food. And I do not know how to cook ...
- I understand.
- You too ...
- Call me of you.
- You forgive my indiscretion, but I have seen some food scraps in your trash. Mushrooms, things so ...
- is that I love to cook. Make different dishes. But as I live alone, sometimes left ...
- Mrs. ... You do not have family?
- Yes, but not here.
- In the Holy Spirit.
- How do you know?
- I see a few envelopes in your trash. The Holy Spirit.
- Yeah. Mom writes every week.
- She's a teacher?
- This is incredible! How did you guess?
- For the letter in the envelope. I thought that letter was a teacher.
- You do not get many letters. Judging by its garbage.
- Yeah ...
- The other day had a crumpled telegram envelope.
- Yeah.
- Bad news?
- My father. Died.
- Sorry.
- He was already very old. For some time there in the South did not see ourselves.
- Is that why you started smoking?
- How do you know?
- From an overnight began to appear crumpled packs of cigarettes in your trash.
- is true. But I managed to stop again.
- I, thank God, I have never smoked.
- I know. But I've seen a few small bottles of pills on their waste ...
- Tranquilizers. It was a phase. Has passed.
- You fought with her boyfriend, right?
- That you also found in the trash?
- the first bouquet of flowers with the little card, thrown away. Then, very scarf paper.
- Yeah, I cried a lot, but passed.
- But today still has a handkerchief ...
- Because I'm a little runny.
- Ah.
- I see a lot of crossword magazine in your trash.
- Yeah. Yeah Well I'm very at home. Do not get out much. You know.
- Girlfriend?
- No.
- But a few days ago had a photograph of a woman in your trash. Even cute.
- I was cleaning out drawers. Old stuff.
- You did not tear the picture. That means, basically, you want her back.
- You're already looking at my junk!
- I can not deny that I was interested in your waste.
- Funny. When I looked at your trash, I decided that I would know it. I think it was poetry.
- No! Have you seen my poems?
- I saw and liked.
- But very bad!
- If you thought they really bad, would have torn. They were just bent.
- If I knew you'd read ...
- not only stayed with them because, after all, would be stealing. Although, I do not know: the person's garbage is still owned it?
- I think not. Garbage is public domain.
- You're right. Through the garbage, the private becomes public. What's left of our privacy integrates with plenty of others. The garbage is communal. It is our most social. Is that so?
- Well, there you're going too deep in the garbage. I think ...
- Yesterday, in his trash ...
- What?
- I was wrong, or were shrimp shells?
- Hit. I bought some shrimp peeled and coarse.
- I love shrimp.

- Job no.

- Nothing. In an instant everything was clean and put away the debris.
- In your garbage or mine?
