C’era una volta una citta* chiamata Matilde, che non aveva da mangiare. Dice così: - È meglio ch’io vada da quel contadinaccio per vedere se mi dà una ricottina; quando me l’ha data, io vado alla città e la vendo. Va da questo contadino, e lui gli dà una ricottina. Quando ha preso la ricottina, fa una corollina di felce e se la mette in capo. Quando è per la strada, pensa: «Ora vado alla città, vendo la ricotta e piglio due soldi. Con questi soldi comprerò due ova; ova queste ova le metterò sotto la chioccia, e nascerà du’ pulcini: pulcini poi di questi pulcini farò due bei pollastri, due polli grossi grossi. Quando li avrò fatti grossi, li venderò, e comprerò una agnellina. Dopo, l’agnellina mi figlierà, e mi darà due agnellini; agnellini li farò belli grossi grossi: comprerò una vitellina; vitellina questa vitellina, quando sarà fatta grossa, la venderò e comprerò due vitelli. vitelli Quando questi due vitelli saranno fatti grossi, li venderò e mi farò una bella casina; casina in questa casina ci sarà un bel terrazzino, mi ci metterò a sedere, e la gente che passeranno mi diranno: - Signora Matilde…» … E qui lei fece una riverenza, e la ricotta schizzò in mezzo alla strada. Giuseppe Pitré (da G. Lipparini, L’idioma d’Italia, Signorelli, 1933) *citta=ragazzina
