There is gossip wherever people gather. The participants of the gathering go home with bags of gossip. Each has a way to dispose of them.
Some set fire to the bags so that all pieces of the gossip burn out in the flames.
Some others unfasten the bags to take out the gossip piece by piece. They go over every one of them so carefully that they commit them to memory.
Still others hurry home to equip each piece of gossip with a pair of wings and add trimmings before they take to flight, spreading far and wide.
The remaining are those who treasure gossip. They manage to find out the person talked about and earnestly present him with the related gossip as a gift.
