Once upon a time two Argonauts had a vision. A sea-monster was stirring the water and creating chaos among the Argonauts sitting on the bank refreshing themselves after their daily toils. The beast was making so much noise that they had to shout to hear each other. One of them, Maurizio, looking into space, lost in the noise of the waves, said: "Good heavens!, maybe the monster is really not well..." Two-footed Cinzia, all of a sudden in a trance, replied: "maybe it would be better to go and see?..."
