"Passado a computador” como soía

Qualquer coisa serve para a conversa.  Até a música de fundo... E lá começam eles… “RTP culta e adulta. Zig Zag é só animação. Vem aprender e ainda te vais divertir”.

What shall I say?

Once upon a time, there was a little fountain pen (sempre gostei desta palavra, fazia parte das que eu ouvia e tinha de transcrever foneticamente fountain pen [ /ˈfaʊn.tɪn ˌpen/ ] ainda sem a saber escrever). I found it outside, in the tools’ catacumbas, in the middle of tobbacco bags and some plastic ball pens or biros, as we used to say. Unfortunately, it was in the middle of some pieces of metal instruments completly corrupted by rust.

I’m sorry I can´t tell interesting stories about this fountain pen, because it is so old that I can´t remember its writings or some others alike. But I liked it, althought I prefered the Pelican with green and black stripes. Certainly I can say that I was only nine and my fingers were already writing with this instrument you can see in the picture, so it is more than 60 years old.

Hoje, a sua rival é esta Kaweco, adquirida há poucos dias numa velha papelaria portuense, onde a tradição ainda se mantém, até ao dia em que as compras só se possam fazer online, porque todo o comércio tradicional desapareceu de vez.
