The green house

People in Beira talked a lot about the primitive green house, that original dwelling that no one really knows exactly how it was, nor the true details of its history. Those who are still alive from that era, and they are very few, got confused and contradicted themselves, mixing what they saw and heard with their own fabrications. The knowledgeable ones have reached old age, and their silence is a strong insistence that makes it pointless to question them; in any case, the original house no longer exists. The Mangatchian stories say that the green house was very large, the biggest buildings of that time, and it had many colorful lamps hanging from its windows, and its lights were dazzling and stained the surrounding sand, and they even lit the bridge. But its main feature was the music, which exploded at its scheduled time inside at sunset and continued all night.
