The governor ordered the detention of a thousand people guilty of thinking for themselves. They had to be a thousand, no more no less. Governors have always done this kind of nonsense. Are they guilty of thinking?, dared to ask a journalist. They are guilty of saying what they think!, the governor replied, not realizing that with this statement, he openly acknowledged the power of words. They do not usually watch for subtleties, those who govern. The next day, he wanted to go see the imprisoned, and did so with the same pride the architechts must feel the when contemplating his work finished. But it happened that, after five minutes of the governor's arrival, the thousand prisoners were freed. The man could not resist the sight of so many flowers behind the bars.
