there is no greater pleasure than in having what is a great pleasure

Inside there was only an enormous



transparent block



with infinite internal needles in which the light of the sunset was broken up into colored stars.



Disconcerted,



knowing that the children were waiting for an imediate explanation,



Jose Arcadio Buendia ventured a murmur:



"It's the largest diamond in the world."



"No," the gypsy countered. "It's ice."
