Allow me to talk about the expression : ''You can't judge a book by its cover''.

The primary meaning of the said expression is of course that you can't rely on appearances to understand or explain something, or someone.

I have had the misfortune to find myself into some situations where that sentence requires an altogether different interpretation, which can be summarized as follows : ''This is a hollow book. The sugar pot is hidden inside.''.

The following story will undoubtedly repulse any sane reader and thus, in order to preserve that precious sanity, will never be published. So, if you happen to read this, and in order to be fair, I have to apologize for the lack of cover as well as to describe the cover I would have selected. Imagine a lovely drawn, colorful cover. Imagine smiles and happy faces, lovers and stylized red hearts.

And now, remember the meaning of the expression ''You can't judge a book by its cover'', which in that case, doesn't mean that you may find a valuable piece of information hidden inside a sugar pot, itself hidden inside this story.
