Since the day the Lyra Department of Culture and Arts' broadcasting station started broadcasting the radio drama adapted from the travelogue collection, every afternoon break time, a crowd of citizens gathered in groups of three or five under every speaker-mounted pole in Lyra city.
The porter hurriedly put down his cargo sack to rest, the horse carriage driver reined his horses letting them stand breathing, the housewives washing clothes at the water well also stopped their hands simultaneously, everyone craned their necks raising their heads pricking their ears listening to the buzzing reading voice emitting from inside the bronze-casted trumpet speaker.
The Lyra citizens ended up being so fascinated by that drama to the point the children playing on the streets also noisily fought each other playing the heroic characters in the play.
