Chapter 11 A box of beautiful paints in all colors

A box of beautiful paints in all colors How happy I am!Last night, Dr. Coralto gave me a beautiful box of paints and said to me: "Here, you have a talent for painting and you can practice watercolor painting..." My sister stroked my head, and then said: "In this way, when you paint, you will think of your sister who is far away from you, won't you?" My sister said these words with such emotion in her voice that I almost cried with emotion. I finally have a beautiful box of paints in all the colors I've been wanting for so long.I was so happy that I jumped up for joy.I went back to my room, closed the door, and wanted to tell my joys to my little diary, and to draw pictures of the zoo I kept at Aunt Bettina's and me being shut up in the dining room waiting for Dad.

When I was done, I showed it to Coralto, and he said, "It's really nice! It looks like the paintings from Giotto's time." At this point I said, "If I hadn't had the idea of ​​a zoo, I wouldn't have drawn this picture!" Well, that's it.Since Coralto gave me a beautiful present, I also want to thank him in some way. I have an idea...but I need three or four lire to make it happen. let's talk tomorrow. October 19
