Page "Momo (novel)" Paragraph 1
from
Wikipedia
In the ruins of an amphitheatre just outside an unnamed city lives Momo, a little girl of mysterious origin.
She came to the ruin, parentless and wearing a long, used coat.
She is illiterate and can't count, and she doesn't know how old she is.
When asked, she replies, " As far as I remember, I've always been there.
" She is remarkable in the neighbourhood because she has the extraordinary ability to listen — really listen.
By simply being with people and listening to them, she can help them find answers to their problems, make up with each other, and think of fun games.
The advice given to people " go and see Momo!
" has become a household phrase and Momo makes many friends, especially an honest, silent street-cleaner, Beppo, and a poetic, extroverted tour guide, Guido.
