The Weird Package


It was a wild and crazy day of April when my friend Petro got a package from his mother. He lives in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre because he is doing a Forest Engineering course at UFAC and his mother lives in Salvador, Bahia. She sent some clothes to him, which made him so happy. He took the package to the university to share that special moment with his classmates. However, when he opened it, everyone, immediately, left the classroom. He could not believe that! Those clothes smelled so bad as if there was a carrion among them. Suddenly, Petro took his “Greek gift” and went home. He did not attended his classes for the rest of the week because he was very embarrassed about that unfortunate episode.
