Titir was just beside Melibey. He just added that this place was his home. This was where the man liked to entertain himself. And it was it that helped him distract himself from his pressing problems or simply to have a good time with his companions.

The interlocutor with whom Titir engaged in a dialogue that more wondered about thunderstorms. And most of his life represents the performance of his duties as a shepherd.
