Peter: Hai un cane? Non lo sapevo. Maria:Sì. E’ un po’ vecchio ora, ma è sempre molto affettuoso. Pensa che quando ero più piccola mi accompagnava ogni giorno a scuola e al mio ritorno mi aspettava dietro il portone di casa. Peter: Ma davvero? Maria: Noi siamo fortunati perchè abitiamo davanti a dei giardinetti pubblici e posso portare spesso Billo a fare delle passeggiate. In campagna però Billo stava sicuramente meglio. Peter: Ah, non vivevi qui da piccola? Maria: No, fino a 13 anni abitavo in cascina fuori Milano. Era la casa dei miei nonni. Avevamo anche dei gatti e persino un pappagallo. Quando ci penso mi viene un po’ di nostalgia. Poi a 13 anni, durante l’estate, ci siamo trasferiti in città per il lavoro di mio papà. Comunque mi sono abituata alla vita di città! E tu, Peter, hai animali domestici? Peter: No, ma da bambino avevo un gatto. Era un gatto randagio. Un giorno mia madre l’ha trovato tutto malmesso davanti a casa nostra e l’abbiamo adottato. Ora nel mio condominio non è permesso tenere animali domestici. Maria: Peccato. ----Formal English---- Maria: Do you mind if we stop here to buy something to eat for Billo, my dog? Peter: You have a dog? I didn't know that. Maria: Yes. He's a bit old now, but he is always affectionate. When I was little, he used to go to school with me, and when I went back home, he was always waiting for me behind the main entrance. Peter: Really? Maria: We are lucky because we live in front of a park and I can often take Billo for a walk. In the countryside, Billo was definitely doing better though. Peter: Oh, you didn't live here when you were little? Maria: No, until I was thirteen years old, I used to live on a farm outside of Milan. It was my grandparents' house. We used to have cats and even a parrot. The place was nice and spacious for us children. When I think about it, I get a bit nostalgic. Then at thirteen years old, during the summer, we moved to the city for my dad's job. Well, I got used to life in the city. Peter, do you have pets? Peter: No, not anymore, but as a child I had a cat. It was a stray cat. One day my mom found him in bad condition in front of our house, and we adopted him. Now in my condominium, pets are not allowed. Maria: Too bad. --------------------------- Learn Italian with ItalianPod101!
