The book on the nightstand: The big word factory

Today I bring you into the land of The big word factory, a country where people speak little because words, to be spoken, must be bought and swallowed.

They talk about how sometimes you use big words too easily that you do not know the true feelings, as happens to Oscars in an attempt to win Cybelle, the sweet little girl dressed in the color of cherry with whose also Phileas is in love with.

Philéas soon finds that to say “I love you” you can use many other special words like … read it to find out!
