The city of Verona was shocked by the strange case of Franchesco. His sudden disappearance had many people in crisis, and the worst thing was that no one could find any clue.
The investigative bodies could not give any explanation, his close friends could not imagine that he had gone somewhere else and his parents were totally saddened for not knowing anything about him because they were always working.
"Where are you, Franchesco?, where is your body, the last steps you took on this earth, ragazzo?", his mother asked herself over and over again every day with great despair.
It was on the 31st day after his last attendance at high school that, from far away, his grandfather Mario came to look for his precious grandson.
Mario had not seen him for many years, but he still knew where Franchesco could be. His room, that place full of books and National Geographic magazines, was a place of truths and secrets.
Mario saw the book, that page-turner, that he had given Franchesco as a child on the pillow in his room and did not hesitate to take it. When he opened the book, a faint bluish light was seen and the grandfather realized that his blond-haired, small-eyed grandson had let himself be carried away by the world of that book to no longer live in this one.
"Mamma mia, here is The Little Prince!", shouted Grandpa Mario, finding his grandson alive.
