 There
was the II world wars and the German soldiers were everywhere. A day the
brother of my grandmother was walking in a little street, when some soldiers
were going to shoot them. My great-grandmother ran towards them saying
don’t shoot them, so the soldiers spared their lives. My grandparents
are very attached to food and money, because they lived in a different time,
when everything was important! I think, our grandparents left us a good world.
They teach us to respect everything. I would like a world for my children
with a little air pollution and sea pollution; with more green and without
envy and wars! I would like to maintain to stay all together on the celebrations,
in the house of my grandparents, everybody on his place at table, like from
a lot of years!!! I love this tradition! I think it is easer be children
now, because at the time of our grandparents the children went to work very
young, now instead the children go to school. To improve the world I can
respect the nature and I can tell to my children beginnings of honesty and
loyalty.

My grandfather told me about the war. A lot
of people died but my grandfather escaped because he simulated to be dead.
My grandfather taught me to be generous. I think that our ancestors left
us a easier word, because there are more technologies, that make life simpler.
I will be a good father and I will teach my children to act in a good way.
