M EM O There are things you have to do every day: wash yourself, study, play, set thetable, at midday.

Ci sono coseda fare di notte: chiudere gli occhi, dormire avere sogni da sognare, orecchie per non sentire.

Ci sono coseda non fare mai: nédi giorno né di notte, néper mare né per terra: per esempio, la guerra.

(Gianni Rodari)

There are things you have to do at night: close you eyes, sleep have dreams to dream, ears not to hear.

Thearethings you must never do, neither by day nor by night neither by sea nor by land for example, war.

Close your eyes, sleep, have dream to dream study

(Gianni Rodari)
