Il vestito di Arlecchino/Harlequin's dress





Do you know why the dress
of Harlequin is made of many color? Read this story and you'll know.

There was once a child, called Harlequin, very poor man who lived with his mother in a humble cottage. For Carnival, the teacher organized a nice party and offered to all children to dress in masks. Harlequin's friends decided to dress in the last day of carnival masks with clothes sewn by their mothers. Harlequin was sad because his mother, who was a widow and poor, could not buy the fabric for his dress. The mothers of the friends of Harlequin gave her scraps of cloth, then so could the mother do the dress to
Harlequin . On the morning of Shrove Tuesday, when Harlequin entered the class greeted him with thunderous applause because her dress was not only the most 'beautiful but also' the most original.



Do you want to feel in rhyme? We will tell you with Gianni Rodari

Per fare un vestito ad arlecchino
ci mise una toppa Meneghino,
ne mise un'altra Pulcinella,
una Gianduia, una Brighella.
Pantalone, vecchio pidocchio,
ci mise uno strappo sul ginocchio,
e Stenterello, largo di mano
qualche macchia di vino toscano.
Colombina che lo cucì
fece un vestito stretto così.
Arlecchino lo mise lo stesso
ma ci stava un tantino perplesso.
Disse allora Balanzone,
bolognese dottorone :
"Ti assicuro e te lo giuro
che ti andrà bene il mese venturo
se osserverai la mia ricetta:
un giorno digiuno e l'altro bolletta!".

Do you Know the origin of the grape?
According to an ancient Italian legend....
Many years ago, the vines not produced grapes. It was an ornamental plant, like many others. At the center of a small vegetable garden grew a beautiful life full of branches and leaves. This magnificent plants receive plenty of sunlight and derived great benefit The branches of the vine longer and longer over turf seeded and covered them with their shadows. The gardener was concerned - Even plants need sun - he said to himself. - I must prune the vine. On a gray and cloudy days, the gardener cutted vigorously the branches longer of the beautiful ornamental plant and took away the large leaves from the other branches. The lives they suffered and wept. When evening came, a nightingale perched delicately on a branch of the vine began to sing to comfort her. His singing was so sweet, that the plant experienced a feeling of well being His tears soak of sweetness and remained there, on branches as small pearls. The night slowly fades away, the appearance of the day the sun wrapped the vine with its soft and warm rays. Then, as by magic the plant feel sap flow in a new whether . Her tears, like beautiful pearls, began to transform itself small fruits: the first grapes. A playful breeze to quickly switch between the branches of the vine and gathered the grapes in clusters more or less large.
