Hi! Grandma tells everything: Sunday, Gozo, Ċikku!
MarijaMela! Jien naf kollox.
Of course! I know everything.
She unfolds a big hand-drawn map of the town.
- Ella
Ejja, oqgħod ħdejja. Ħu, mappa għalik! Jien inpinġi mapep sbieħ.
Come, sit next to me. Here, a map for you! I draw nice maps.
- Ella
Ħares: in-numru sebgħa, u taħtu l-kafetterija ta' Lina.
Look: number 7, and under it Lina's café.
U dan, ħdejn il-ġnien?
And this, by the park?

EllaDik l-iskola tiegħi, faċċata tal-ġnien.

EllaIl-posta bejn il-bank u l-ispiżerija. Is-supermarket fil-kantuniera, u l-istazzjon warajh.
The post office is between the bank and the pharmacy. The supermarket is on the corner, and the station behind it.
Marija tests you, as if at school.
- Marija
Tajjeb. Kif tmur min-numru sebgħa sal-posta?
Good. How do you get from number 7 to the post office?
Dur fuq il-lemin, imbagħad it-tieni triq fuq ix-xellug. Il-posta bejn il-bank u l-ispiżerija.
Turn right, then the second street on the left. The post office is between the bank and the pharmacy.

U dawn il-postijiet ta' Ċikku: is-suq, it-tieqa ta' Lina, il-bank fil-ġnien u Għawdex!
And these are Ċikku's places: the market, Lina's window, the bench in the park and Gozo!
U dak l-aħmar fuq il-bejt? U ċ-ċavetta ż-żgħira ħdejh?
And that red thing on the roof? And the little key next to it?

Mela, min irid te?
Well, who wants some tea?
Who says this?
Sigriet hu sigriet.
Sigriet hu sigriet.
What does it mean?
