Different
Wassily Kandinsky / Amélia Muge


Once upon a time there was a big 3 – white on dark brown. Its upper curve was exactly equal in size to the lower one. At least that’s what many people thought.
And yet this one above was somehow
a little, little, little
just a little bigger than the one below.

This 3 always looked to the left – never to the right. And it also looked down a little bit, since the number only appeared to be standing completely straight. In fact, that was not easy to see, as the top somehow tilted
a little, little, little
just a little bit to the left.

So this big white 3 always looked to the left and a little, little, just a little down.

But then again, maybe it wasn’t quite like that. Maybe it was different.
