!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

Fair exchange is no robbery


fairexchangeisnorobbery.blogspot.com
Possible interpretation: Swapping one thing fairly in return for another is not the same as stealing.
Note: exchange (noun) = giving one thing and receiving another (usually of the same value) in return | robbery (noun) = the action of forcefully and unlawfully taking property from (a person or place)

Quick Quiz:
If "fair exchange is no robbery" and you agree to give me your watch in return for my mobile phone, that is
  1. theft
  2. a donation
  3. equitable
