An insistent knock on the door. The old lady walks across the living room of the old house with difficulty, to open the door. As she opens it she sees a big man, almost twice her size, smiling at her expectantly.
-Auntie... he says.
-What?
-It's me, Auntie.
-You! she exclaims.
But then she realizes she doesn't know who he is.
-Who are you?
-Don't you recognize me, Auntie?
The old lady examines the man carefully. Then says:
-It can't be!
She stumbles backwards, afraid. She repetes:
-It can't be, it can't be!
She comes back to the door and says:
-It really can't be. He's dead. Who are you?
-Think about it, Auntie. You really liked me a lot.
-Yes?
-I was the most important thing in your life. You took care of me, fed me, bathed me...
-Yes, I'm starting to remember...
-One day I disappeared and never returned. But now I'm back.
-You're back. Oh, Rex!
-Rex?
-My dog, Rex. My little fluffy. My passion. You're back!
-No, Auntie. I'm not Rex.
-Then who are you?
-Auntie, get ready. I'm...Walter!
-No!
-Yes!
-NO!
-Yes, Auntie. Yes!
-I DON'T KNOW ANYONE NAMED WALTER!
-You're favorite nephew. You raised me. Try to remember, Auntie.
-I didn't raise no nephew. And definitely none named Walter.
-Are you sure?
-Certain of it. I've always lived here, alone.
-This isn't house 201?
-No. It's 2001.
-Damn. My bad. Look, I'm really sorry about this.
-It's ok.
The old lady shut the door. After a few seconds, there was another knock. She opened it. It was Walter.
-Listen... he said.
-What?
-You really never had a nephew by the name of Walter?
-Never.
-And... would you like one?
-Well...
-It's just that 201 is so far. Since you live alone...
-Ok, she agreed. Come in.
But she immediately warned him:
-I'm not bathing you, though.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
