Few of them would have believed the story anyway. The only ones that knew and believed it were Momo's friends.
By the time Momo and Beppo reached the amphitheater, they were all there waiting:
Guido, Paolo, Massimo, Franco, Maria and her little sister Rosa, Claudio and a host of other children,
Nino the innkeeper and his plump wife Liliana and their baby, Salvatore the bricklayer, and all of Momo's regular visitors in days gone by.
The celebration that followed, which was as merry and joyous as only Momo's friends could have made it, went on till the stars came out.
And when all the cheers and hugs and handshakes and excited chatter had subsided, everyone sat down on the grass-grown steps.
A great hush fell as Momo stepped out into the middle of the arena.
She thought of the music of the stars and the hour-lilies, and then, in a sweet, pure voice, she began to sing.
Meanwhile, in Nowhere House, the return of time had roused Professor Hora from his first sleep ever.
Still very pale, he looked as if he had just recovered from a serious illness,
but his eyes sparkled and there was a smile on his lips as he watched Momo and her friends through his omnivision glasses.
