Dad,

an Italian friend

asked

how you fish in China

and showed him your picture.

is my first day off

since I came to work here.

I've gone to the sea.

to walk on the water,

my skin feels more smooth

and I feel lighter.

St. John told us

he saw and believed.

We also want

witness

of the resurrection of Jesus

in our lives,

always looking up,

is as we witness

of what we believe.

Rise Up

and proclaim our faith,

faith in the risen Christ.

I believe in one God

Almighty,

Creator of Heaven and the '? misses ...

- What if a customer comes?

- Let him wait.

Come in.

Thank you.

Come in.

Are you sure?

Hello.

Dad, it's me.

How are you?

You all right?

How is the little one?

Yes, all right, Will you send it to me?

Hi, It's mom.

Thank you.

You all right?

Yes, it was a surprise

nice.

I want to give you

a surprise.

'I can not say.

Sure.

Do as I do.

And now expected.

Slowly, slowly.

You see that?

it is my only home.

Precious.

Is it a house?

A cabin,

a house for fishermen,

to work, for the nets.

Are you cold?

No, I like it.

Drink.

Grappa of Yugoslavia.

It'll make you warm.

How long will you be

Chioggia?

I do not know.

I have to wait for the news.

The news?

That's how it is,

its difficult to explain.

Work

hope.

Work and well paid.

And one day, the news.

And the boss

I sent my son.

I do not know when.

I choose them.

I went into one of those houses.

Who?

An Italian, friend of mine.

They are very nice houses.

They are very pretty,

but beware,

we are not allowed to

have Italian friends.

The Italians are just customers.

Unsuitable friendships

may delay the news.

I'll be careful, do not worry.

I do not understand.

I'll explain.

All the money that the government

U.S. should give their own people,

is actually going to China.

- Do you know how many Chinese are there?

- One billion.

And a half.

- And Americans?

- I do not know.

Three hundred million.

You know what that means?

That Obama

instead of paying an American,

- Pays five Chinese.

- I understand.

And soon Chioggia will be the same.

They have already come here to Chioggia.

It is an invasion

the New Empire.

- Have you seen them?

- Yes

It was in the lagoon, I have seen

them touching and hugging.

- What did I say?

- Is the strip?

I'd say yes.

Only they were together on the boat.

- Of course they are just good friends.

- Very good friends.
