Toga Quote by Kenizé Mourad
““našla je u kavezu mrtvu sjenicu, uginula je od hladnoće...Sa njom odlazi još malo od harvija…brani se od pomisli da je to predzank, no ne može to da zaboravi: na istoku ljudi paze na takve stvari. Zejnila zabrinjava ta djevojčica - u tom uzrastu djeca su tako osjetljiva.””
