THE THIRD ONE

Portrait

An artist is carving the portrait of a boy from a block of wood in his studio. The other sculptures standing about depict heroes from Albanian history. While at work the sculptor discovers a black spot on his statue’s forehead. He sets about removing it – and a rusty bullet falls out of the wood: a symbol of Albania’s struggles in the past, which have continued into the present.
