One afternoon, at a diner, Ilene, the businesswoman, called over the scientist Eugênio and said to him:
- Eugênio, I need your services, I think you're the right person."
- Go ahead, Mrs. Ilene."
- You make many inventions, you're a scientist... and I think an invention for me would be wonderful."
- What invention?"
Ilene said:
- Look, clothes take a long time to dry, I think it's a bit annoying. So it would be good to have a machine that dries clothes in less than ten minutes and shoes in a maximum of fifteen minutes."
- Why are you interested in this type of invention?"
- Because when I take a shower, I have to take off my clothes and shoes afterwards, and change..."
- What? You shower with your clothes on and everything?????"
- Of course, and even with your shoes on. My sister Myllena, the mayor, is always barefoot, but I can't stand it, I don't even take my shoes off to shower." But they don't last long. That's why these inventions would be wonderful, and I'm willing to pay you whatever is necessary.
- Well, Mrs. Ilene, it's not a very easy thing, because you have to consider the climate, things like that...
- I don't want to know, I want the invention, I want to know if you're willing to create it.
- Well, I'll try.
- Alright. If this invention works out, you'll be rich.
- I doubt it, I don't think everyone would use it, after all, few people bathe with their clothes on.
- I'm one of those who does, and here in Lagoa da Italianinha there are people who only bathe with their clothes on, and that's without counting some people from outside Brazil.
- Although I find this habit very strange, I'll try to do it.
- Try it, you'll see how great the sensation is.
- No, leave it as it is. But I'll try to fulfill your request.
Eugênio took Ilene's phone number and left, thinking she was "crazy".
