Summary

Marco buys a new black, very light phone with a big, bright screen. He unboxes it, turns it on and smiles. He wants to photograph his cat by the window. He opens the camera and taps, but the cat jumps away and the shot is blurry. Marco sighs and tries again: the cat runs to the sofa and hides; he crouches, waits, and takes another photo—the cat is calm now, and the picture is clear.

He calls Giulia to share the news. She asks for a photo, so he sends the clear sofa picture. Giulia laughs and texts ‘So cute!’. Happy and impressed with the new phone, Marco heads outside to take more pictures."
