“Tonino the Invisible” is a story about a boy, that lies about not having a homework for the weekend and the Lie herself appears. She encourages Tonino to lie more and more, and she becomes so strong, that she is able to fulfill wishes. “Nobody can examine an invisible boy!” thought Tonino on his way to school and the Lie made his wish come true. She makes everything around look like her, everything becomes yellow, even Tonino himself. But after a lot of fun, he realizes that being invisible can be very lonely.

Paola: But if you are an invisible boy, how am I able to see you?

Tonino: I don’t know. What do you think?

Paola: Maybe it’s because I’m always alone. I don’t have any friends, no one talks to me, no one notices me. It’s like I’m invisible, too.

“That’s why she loved children the most. They worth

dealing with!

But….Sunday. On Sundays, kids are

having icecream and are good in general… and

don’t lie.

But the Lie was standing, waiting and hoping for a

child, that will need her. “
