The unity
Valeria, a young mayor of Noviland in the municipality of Miwonovi. The mayor as head of the municipality's administration and in her capacity as head of the municipal administration decides to take a tour of her town by car accompanied by her driver to see the way of life of her fellow citizens on a daily basis. A few metres away, in a corridor, his gaze caught two young white men attacking an African stranger already on the ground. Valeria asks her driver to wait and she observes the scene a few seconds later, then asks her driver to start the engine. Once again, as soon as she moved towards the city's large park, white Noviland youths chased two other foreigners (boy and girl) with their manu militari by hitting and kicking them, followed by racist insults urging them to leave the park.
Back home, very concerned and worried about the racism faced by foreigners in Novialnd, she asks her municipal secretary to gather all citizens in the town square. Almost all citizens responded to the call. The mayor, accompanied by his municipal secretary, arrived inside the square and found the citizens already gathered there. The mayor explained to them why she had summoned them: she wanted to give them a big prize but then subjected them to a small test. The citizens are in a hurry to hear and the mayor explains the terms of the test: pieces of bread will be given to eat. The condition of the test is to eat pieces of bread without crossing the arms. The citizens have really wasted the bread on the floor by eating without bending their arms. The mayor realizes that the bread has been wasted, as he expected, so he decides to show them the simple method through his life lesson. The mayor approaches and extends his arm towards his secretary, holding a piece of bread in his hand, directs him to the municipal secretary without bending his arm and the citizens have understood. It's really great...and asks if everyone has learned the lesson by staying together and helping each other in life. Now they understand the damage caused by individualism, self-interest and selfishness and especially racism.
