It: "È un'avventura!"

It: esclamò Giulia, quasi come se sospettasse che dietro ci fosse un vero motivo.

It: Raggiunsero finalmente il tetto, entrambi con il cuore che batteva forte.

It: Il suo cuore era pieno di emozione.

En: "Yes, Luca!

It: Mille volte sì!"
En: A thousand times yes!"

It: rispose, stringendogli forte la mano.

It: In quel momento, i primi fiocchi di neve cominciarono a cadere, coprendo dolcemente la città in un manto bianco.
