It was the day of my ninth birthday. I was impatient to open my gifts, but there was no gift package for me that year. I was a little sad because that year I had not received gifts from my parents and then I went to my mother and asked her if I had behaved badly for not having received any gifts.
But she told me that the gift was there, I just had to wait. I thought he was just playing a joke on me because I was waiting and waiting, but my gift never came. Until my father came home from work and I saw him with a dog. It was my birthday present. Nemo had now joined our family and this was the best gift I could ever have received

The year was 1969. I was twelve and I was in the classroom. The Science techer came in. We had a Science test that day I was getting ready to begin, when, all of a sudden the teacher told us to stand up.
“We are going to the lab” he said. We were really surprised! Our Science teacher never changed his mind! But he said it was a special day, so we went to the lab.
there was a TV set in a lab. The teacher switched it on. Just in theme to see the firsan on the moon! When he switched on, astronaut Neil Armstrong was opening the hatch. First, he descended a ladder and he started walking around. After that, astronaut Aldrin joined Armstrong on the surface, and we heard him describe the view with th phrase “Magnificent Desolation!”.
it was great, but in the end the Science lesson finished and we had to return to our classroom. However, I’m so glad the teacher allowed us to participate in an event I’ll never forget. And, most important, that’s how I became interested in space travel.

My friend Sara and I had gone for a walk in Grado, but it suddenly started to rain, so we took a bus to go home. We ran towards the station and luckily we managed to catch the last available bus, but unfortunately this was full. The floor was very slippery so I was holding on to a handle, but unfortunately the bus braked suddenly, my friend came on me and I fell on the boy who was in front of me. It was a very embarrassing moment as we fell to the ground one on top of the other. I got up in a hurry and apologized and to avoid yet another fool I got off at the next stop, even if it wasn't the one closest to my home and I had to go all the way in the rain.
