CHAPTER 1

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ADVENTURE

It’s mid-June, and a wonderful day began. This will be an important week because I will change house. Mom chose this period of the year because I am on holiday. I just finished my fourth grade with very good results, just for knowing.

We will remain within the same village, but we will move from a flat to a single house.

I will finally have my own garden, and for my birthday I will receive a kitten. Mom said that with a larger house and a real garden we can take a little pet. Each time I pushed for having one, she always said that pets are not toys, they need attention, care, and the right place to live. I always understoon these words because, for me, living in a flat is like living in a cage. However, what matters is that now I can have a kitten. I have already thought about its name: Windy for a female and Cloud for a male, and I’d like it to be fully white or fully black. We will see!

Mom works in a little herbalist’s shop, but for this week she took a vacation because of the moving and left the shop to Lucy, her employee. I really like her! She always brings me toffes. She is kind and beautiful like a fairy, she has long and blond hair and blue eyes. She often comes to our house for a tea and we always play with toffes: we put them on the table and we create funny shapes before eating them all. Lucy is part of the family, I call her “aunt Lucy” and I really love her. I’ve always lived alone with my mum and I’ve never met my father because he left before my birth. It was because of his job; success and money were more important. What I understood is that people have to stay together only if they really love each other; otherwise it’s better every man for himself.
