 we shall read and tell stories all day long," he called out
happily. "All the others have to go to school."

But Mux had forgotten that breakfast came first of all. After the meal
the two sisters departed, but Dino knocked and clamored for Cornelli
to come to him. Mux loudly protested against this and only calmed down
when Cornelli promised to keep him company during Dino's rest hour.
He kept on objecting and murmuring to himself even after she had gone.

Cornelli was quite thrilled and overcome by the thought that anybody
should love her so, and it did her more good than anything else. As
soon as she came to Dino's room he asked her if she would read to him,
too, for he had found out how much she enjoyed reading to Mux out of
his picture book.

"Have you entertaining books, too?" asked Cornelli with hesitation.
In her mind she saw her own beautiful books at home, that she had left
alone because so many things in them had been unintelligible.

"I should say so! You just ought to see them," said Dino. "Please take
down the book called 'Funny Journeys.' There are pictures in it, too.
They are not as big as in the other book and are not colored, but they
are so comical that they make one laugh all the time."

Cornelli got the book down, and in a little while merry peals of
laughter filled the room. The mother, who heard, was happily smiling
and saying to herself: "No, no, all is not yet lost."

So the week passed by. Cornelli spent most of her time reading aloud
to Dino and to Mux. She grew more eager all the time in this occupation,
and if Mux would suddenly want to play with soldiers, Cornelli would
say: "You can easily play that alone. Let me read this and later I'll
tell you all about it." So she had soon finished reading the whole big
book.

Cornelli had so far scarcely become acquainted with the two girls, and
Nika had rarely spoken to her. On Saturday morning the mother entered
Dino's room just after Cornelli had finished reading such a funny tale
that both children still laughed aloud at the remembrance.

"Children, to-morrow
we shall read and tell stories all day long, " he call out 
 happily. " All the others take to go to school. " 

 But Mux had forgotten that breakfast came foremost of all. After the meal 
 the two sisters departed, but Dino knocked and clamor for Cornelli 
 to come to him. Mux loudly protest against this and only calmed down 
 when Cornelli promise to keep him company during Dino's respite hour. 
 He keep on objecting and murmur to himself even after she had gone. 

 Cornelli was quite thrilled and overcome by the idea that anybody 
 should love her so, and it did her more adept than anything else. As 
 soon as she came to Dino's room he asked her if she would read to him, 
 excessively, for he had found out how much she enjoyed reading to Mux out of 
 his picture script. 

 " Have you entertaining books, too? " asked Cornelli with hesitation. 
 In her judgment she saw her own beautiful books at home, that she had left 
 alone because so many things in them had been unintelligible. 

 " I should say so! You just ought to attend them, " said Dino. " Please take 
 down the ledger call' Funny Journeys.' There are pictures in it, excessively. 
 They are not as big as in the other book and are not discolor, but they 
 are so comical that they make one laugh all the time. " 

 Cornelli got the ledger down, and in a little while merry peals of 
 laughter filled the room. The mother, who heard, was happily smile 
 and saying to herself: " No, no, all is not yet lost. " 

 So the week pass by. Cornelli spent most of her time reading loudly 
 to Dino and to Mux. She grew more eager all the fourth dimension in this occupation, 
 and if Mux would suddenly want to dally with soldiers, Cornelli would 
 say: " You can easily play that alone. permit me read this and subsequently I'll 
 tell you all about it. " indeed she had soon finished reading the whole big 
 book.
