Then, they bet on whether the dog will bark at the him or not. This is their second favourite hobby. That is how they spend their life, idly and contentedly watching life go by outside their stores. Until one day, an Albanian, who goes past the three men, recognises Stavros's mother as his own long-lost mother.
