nevertheless follows the village tradition - The father of every
sixteen year old girl is presented with a gift on her birthday, the
best present of which wins his daughter’s hand on her first date –
Remembering the cockerel, owned by the village butcher, that wakes Mr.
Gamboccini every morning, Marcello thinks he’s found the perfect gift.
