My story

Io sono Maria, e la casa numero 7 è mia.I am Maria, and number 7 is my house.

Io vivo qui da cinquant'anni e per quarant'anni sono stata insegnante nella scuola della città.I have lived here for fifty years and for forty years I was a teacher in the town school.

So chi torna tardi, chi dimentica di chiudere la porta e chi prende l'ultimo panino al bar.I know who comes home late, who forgets to close the door, and who takes the last roll at the café.

La gente dice che io so tutto.People say that I know everything.

Non è vero.That is not true.

Io so solo tutto di questa casa.I only know everything about this building.

Mia nipote Sofia viene da me ogni giorno dopo la scuola.My granddaughter Sofia comes to me every day after school.

Ha nove anni, e il 28 marzo compie dieci anni.She is nine years old, and on 28 March she turns ten.

Milo non è mio.Milo is not mine.

Lui pensa solo che la casa è sua.He only thinks that the house is his.
