It: "Francesca, dobbiamo tenerlo lontano," disse Gianni, osservando i fiori che ancora ondeggiavano dopo che Beppe ne aveva assaggiati alcuni.
En: "Francesca, we have to keep him away," said Gianni, observing the flowers that still swayed after Beppe had tasted a few.

It: Le mele potrebbero funzionare.

It: "Una storia, davvero?
En: "A story, really?

It: Non è il momento per scherzare."

It: Prese alcune mele rosse e cominciò a sbucciarne una, cantando una breve filastrocca.

It: "Vieni, Beppe, vieni!

It: Teneva alta una mela intera, scuotendola come un trofeo.
En: She held up a whole apple, shaking it like a trophy.

It: Incredibilmente, la strategia funzionò.
