The father of many children, the lamplighter, went out to the village square proclaiming his love for the parish priest with a megaphone. The prominent meteorologist of the Hellenic National Meteorological Service was fired from his job because he danced the rain dance in the courtyard of his service for seventeen hours. The governor of the central bank resigned, embraced Buddhism, fled to Matala, and survives by selling handmade amulets. His mother-in-law suffered a stroke and proceeded to establish a political party, which shows high percentages in the latest polls. Finally, the book-loving director of the national wildlife park, who has a habit of reading aloud, noticed that the animals went on a hunger strike, presenting strange demands: the baboons demanded to attend election rallies and the parrots to have the right to participate in the nationwide exams. The director himself married, in a civil ceremony, a beautiful koala who recently won the title of "Miss Australia".
