Italian
Ogni domenica, la famiglia Rossi va a cena dalla nonna. La nonna si chiama Teresa e vive in una casa piccola con un grande giardino. Quando i nipoti arrivano, la nonna li abbraccia forte. "Benvenuti, i miei tesori!" dice sempre. La cucina e calda e profuma di sugo e pane. La nonna prepara le lasagne, il suo piatto famoso. Il nonno apparecchia la tavola con la tovaglia bianca e i piatti belli. I bambini aiutano a portare i bicchieri e le posate. "A tavola!" chiama la nonna. Tutta la famiglia si siede insieme. Il padre taglia il pane. La madre serve l'insalata. "Nonna, le tue lasagne sono le migliori del mondo," dice la figlia piu piccola. La nonna ride e dice: "Il segreto e tanto amore e un po' di pazienza." Dopo cena, i bambini giocano in giardino. Gli adulti bevono il caffe e parlano. La nonna guarda la sua famiglia e sorride. Questa e la sua felicita: tutti insieme, intorno alla tavola.
English Translation
Every Sunday, the Rossi family goes to dinner at grandmother's house. The grandmother's name is Teresa and she lives in a small house with a big garden. When the grandchildren arrive, the grandmother hugs them tightly. "Welcome, my treasures!" she always says. The kitchen is warm and smells of sauce and bread. The grandmother prepares lasagna, her famous dish. The grandfather sets the table with the white tablecloth and the nice plates. The children help carry the glasses and the silverware. "Time to eat!" calls the grandmother. The whole family sits down together. The father cuts the bread. The mother serves the salad. "Grandma, your lasagna is the best in the world," says the youngest daughter. The grandmother laughs and says: "The secret is a lot of love and a little patience." After dinner, the children play in the garden. The adults drink coffee and talk. The grandmother looks at her family and smiles. This is her happiness: everyone together, around the table.
