This time it was more disastrous than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faggioli: Go on\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We flash back to the moment of the episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re in Raviolino\u2019s living room. It\u2019s Thursday evening, and Dad walks in and approaches the bookshelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raviolino (to himself): On top of the bookshelf! Perfect. Let\u2019s see if that cat can get there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad grabs a book from the shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad: Finally, some peace and a good book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He sits in an armchair, right under the bookshelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad: Nothing good on TV tonight. Better dive into something serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raviolino sits nearby, worried. Silence. Faint noises from above. Dad keeps reading. Scratching sounds are heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cat appears at the top of the bookshelf. Its little paws work their way into the backpack, unzipping it. Bits of fish start to fall to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raviolino: Oh no! I don\u2019t believe it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A piece of rotten fish lands on his dad\u2019s head. Dad scratches it off, letting it fall to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad: These flies! Didn\u2019t we use bug spray?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raviolino sneaks in quietly, trying not to be noticed. He watches the cat fussing with the backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raviolino (to himself): No&#8230; no&#8230; it\u2019s making too much noise&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another piece falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mom (from another room): What\u2019s that noise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad: Nothing, honey. Just a curious cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raviolino (whispers): I have to do something&#8230; fast&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor: Raviolino just wanted to hide that putrid backpack from the cat!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heh heh! But he ended up placing it right two meters above his clueless dad\u2019s head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor Raviolino! Now the cat was about to expose all his lies for everyone to see\u2026 and bring his whole castle of deception crashing down on him\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026while a pound and a half of moldy cod was about to come crashing down, right on his dad\u2019s bald spot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/savedblog.com\/?p=4989\">Previous<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/savedblog.com\/?p=4995\">Next<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three scientists \u2014 Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli\u2014 and their assistant Igor, who work at NASAL, begin to take an interest in creationism.
