Funny Mishaps During Virtual Presentations  and How to Avoid Them! EP 35

In this story, an elephant named Eleven does whatever it takes to maintain peace, even using violence. This is Part 4 of 5. 

As Eleven watched the thieves creep forward, he considered what course of action to take. He could tell the monkeys about the thieves, possibly causing a physical fight to break out. Or he could stop the thieves himself, either scaring them off with his roar or his powerful tusks. Either way, conflict was unavoidable. 

Peace was Eleven’s his highest value. If anything attempted to disrupt it, he made sure to remove it from his life. He saw himself as a protector of peace. It never occurred to him that he might have been actually afraid of healthy conflict.
 
So, believing there to be no ethical dilemma, Eleven decided to conceal the thieves’ robbery. This way the thieves would get what they want, the monkeys would only realize after the fact, and, most importantly, Eleven could get back to his relaxing day in the sun.  

Eleven positioned himself in such a way as to block any view of the robbery. The fox and wild chicken snatched the bananas and made their way for the bushes. However, at that exact moment, one of the monkeys, having climbed up a tree and swung itself into the river, was flying through the air and saw the robbery. 

Splashing into the river, the monkey screamed and shrieked, trying its best to alert the others. But they were too busy slapping each other to notice anything.
 
In an instant, without giving the moment proper reflection, only thinking about his own interests and his self-appointed duty, Eleven forcefully swung his trunk and whacked the shrieking monkey, who flew with great speed into the dense forest and out of sight.

Interviewing for a Job 

Ciao e benvenuti a ITALOPOP!

Io sono Enza, insegno italiano per stranieri e oggi vi porto in un piccolo viaggio a Trieste… tra porto, mare e, soprattutto, caffè.

Sapete, Trieste non è solo il porto e le colline. Trieste è la città del caffè. Qui non si ordina “un caffè” e basta: no, no… qui ogni caffè ha il suo nome, la sua storia e… la sua personalità!
Entriamo in un bar storico, per esempio il Caffè San Marco. Il barista ci sorride: “Buongiorno, cosa prende?”
Se vuoi un nero, è semplice: un espresso nella classica tazzina.
Ma se vuoi fare il vero triestino, puoi chiedere un nero in B: sì, in bicchiere! Perché qui il bicchiere fa subito città portuale.
Hai voglia di latte? Allora arriva il capo o, se vuoi fare il raffinato, il capo in B. È un caffè macchiato servito in bicchiere, così puoi ammirare il gioco tra il caffè scuro e la schiuma bianca… quasi un piccolo dipinto!
E se proprio vuoi sentirti un esperto locale, prova il deca in B: il caffè decaffeinato, sempre in bicchiere, perché anche senza caffeina, qui il bicchiere è d’obbligo.

A Trieste il caffè è anche socialità: non è raro vedere due persone che discutono animatamente sul “nero” perfetto o sul bicchiere giusto. E attenzione alle parole: se chiedi un “caffelatte” a un triestino, sorriderà… perché qui si dice ancora “caffelatte”, non cappuccino! Piccoli dettagli che raccontano una città.

A Trieste, il caffè non è solo una bevanda: è un piccolo viaggio nella cultura, nella lingua e nelle abitudini locali. La prossima volta che entrerete in un bar triestino, ricordatevi: potete ordinare un nero, un capo o un capo in B… ma soprattutto, godetevi il momento.

𝐆𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐎

Nero → espresso in tazzina
Nero in B → espresso in bicchiere
Capo → macchiato in tazzina
Capo in B → macchiato in bicchiere di vetro
Deca → decaffeinato in tazzina
Deca in B → decaffeinato in bicchiere di vetro
Caffelatte → cappuccino (più latte che caffè)
