MYSTERY STORY

Marko has just completed his mission with Dunja, and now he's ready to carry on his journey through the already planned european countries . When Marko crosses the border, our hero takes the name of the “Hero of the two worlds”, Giuseppe Garibaldi.
He's wearing a red shirt and he's carrying a rifle. But now he's alone, without a ride or a company, because everyone who looked at him thought that this man, with a gun and a long beard, wearing old-fashioned clothes, was really strange.
Giuseppe was searching some information about the city in which he was walking through; it looked too much “modern” (but of course it was for a man of the 19th century).
Strolling through the streets, he finds a young woman, with red hair and grey eyes. Giuseppe comes closer to her and asks:
-Excuse me, can you help me?
-Sure! What's your name? And...Why are you dressed this wa
-Oh...These are my clothes...They're cool for me. My name is Giuseppe Garibaldi and what about you?
-My name is Anita and I assure you that your clothes aren't absolutely cool...Why do you need help?
-I'm looking for a ride and for someone to share an adventure with .
-Wooow! I love adventures! Can I come with you? I'm a horse-seller. You could use one of my horses.
-Fantastic! So, let's go towards South Italy!
In the meantime, Dunja was walking to the forest, bringing some goods for Marko, but when he arrived at the tree where he has left him he wasn’t there, he had disappeared.
Worried, Dunja starts to scream his name around the forest, but Marko didn’t reply…Soon, she took out her mobile, remembering that she gave Marko a mobile phone to stay in contact with, and turned on the GPS.
While Crying, she says:
-Don’t worry Marko, I’ll find you-
The GPS released a loud “bip-bip”, so Dunja looked at the screen and…
-Oh my God, it couldn’t be possible! South Italy? When did he arrive there? How shall I reach him?-
Finally, if Dunja would find her friend, she had to go to Italy!
-Mum!- She spoke “quietly” –I must go to Italy to find Marko, he’s disappeared. I’ll be back soon, I promise-
That same day, Dunja took the first train to Reggio Calabria, in South Italy. Apparently, Marko was there.
When Dunja arrived in Reggio, she was really tired:
-Never done such a long trip in my whole life! I’m starving!- She had a rest in the station and then, she felt ready to start her research. When she went out of the station, her eyes were hit by a very shiny sun in the sky.
-Ohh what’s a beautiful city!- She said –It’s completely different from my country- Dunja was so glad to visit Reggio, but unfortunately she had no time to be a tourist. She must find Marko as soon as possible.

So now Dunja needed to follow the GPS’ signal; Marko was near…
Dunja was looking to her mobile’s screen, when she heard a strange whisper coming from a big statue in the center of the square…Ok, wait, a statue which whispers?! The young girl came closer to it and with her surprise…
-Dunja? Dunja here you are? I’m so happy to see you!- The statue said.
-Nice to meet you Mr…Ew…What’s your name?- Asked Du nja
-I’m Giuseppe Garibaldi, surely you’ve heard about me! Everyone in Italy knows me!-
-Sorry I don’t know you, but how do you know my name?-
-I know a lot of thing. You’re looking for your friend, Marko. I’ll help you to find him-
-You will do it truly? Thank you so much! But why are you a statue?-
-It’s not the time to tell this story Dunja; wait until midnight and later, I’ll be human again-
Dunja waited patiently the expected hour and at midnight she returned alone to the statue:
-Garibaldi? Are you there?-
-Of course I am! Let’s go!-
The statue of the Italian hero came down of his horse and got Dunja into the city, searching for her friend Marko, but something unexpected was going to happen…
Garibaldi and Dunja were walking together, but in a moment, Garibaldi disappeared. Dunja looked round, but someone pulled her.
-Ehi! Stay away!-
-Dunja? Dunja here you are! Why?- Marko, now Garibaldi, recognized her friend.
-Garibaldi what are you saying!? We were walking together a minute ago!-
In the same time, Garibaldi statue appeared again…What a strange situation!
-You were...I was with you but...Ohhh who’s the real Garibaldi?-
Dunja was so confused...She walked with a statue all the time, but as it seems, there was another man with a red shirt!
The question now is : Who is the real Garibaldi…???
