In modern-day Rome, a 7-year-old boy named Luca faces a big challenge: he accidentally breaks his mother's favorite vase and must find a way to fix it before she gets home. As Luca searches for a solution, he learns valuable lessons about honesty and courage.
Luca was playing soccer in his apartment in Rome. Suddenly, he kicked the ball too hard, and it hit his mother's favorite vase. The vase shattered into pieces on the floor. Luca's heart raced. He needed to fix it before his mother got home.
Luca's best friend, Maria, came over to play. When she saw the broken vase, she gasped. - What happened, Luca? - I broke the vase, and I need to fix it, Luca replied. - Let's work together to solve this, Maria suggested.
Luca and Maria decided to look for glue to fix the vase. They searched the entire apartment but couldn't find any. - We need to find another way, Luca said. They both felt worried but determined.
Maria had an idea. - Let's go to the craft store and buy some glue! Luca nodded. They grabbed their piggy banks and headed out the door. But when they reached the store, it was closed.
Luca and Maria didn't give up. They decided to ask their neighbor, Mr. Rossi, for help. - Do you have any glue we can borrow? Maria asked. - I'm sorry, kids. I'm all out of glue, Mr. Rossi replied. They thanked him and left, feeling more worried.
As they walked back, Luca felt hopeless. - Maybe we should just tell my mom the truth, he said. - Let's try one more thing, Maria suggested. They decided to check the garage for any old glue.
In the garage, they found an old toolbox. Inside, there was a small bottle of glue. - We found it! Maria exclaimed. They rushed back to the apartment to fix the vase. But the glue was dried up and useless.
Luca sat down, feeling defeated. - I don't know what to do, he said. - Maybe it's time to tell the truth, Maria replied gently. Luca sighed and nodded. - You're right.
Just then, Luca's older sister, Sofia, came home. - Why do you both look so sad? she asked. Luca explained everything. Sofia smiled. - I think I can help. I have a special glue for fixing ceramics.
Sofia brought out the special glue from her room. - Let's fix this vase together, she said. They carefully glued the pieces back together. Luca felt a bit better, but he knew he still had to tell his mom the truth.
The vase looked almost as good as new. - Thank you, Sofia, Luca said. - Now, I need to tell Mom what happened. Maria and Sofia nodded, supporting him. Luca took a deep breath and waited for his mom to come home.
When Luca's mom came home, she saw the vase and smiled. - It looks like my favorite vase is fixed! Luca knew it was time. - Mom, I have to tell you something. I broke the vase while playing soccer, he confessed.
Luca's mom listened carefully. - Thank you for telling me the truth, Luca. I'm proud of you for being honest. Luca felt a weight lift off his shoulders. - I'm sorry, Mom. It won't happen again. - I know, Luca, she said with a smile.
Later that evening, Luca and Maria sat in the living room. - I'm glad you told the truth, Maria said. - Me too, Luca replied. - It wasn't easy, but it was the right thing to do. They both smiled, feeling happy and relieved.
The next day, Luca's mom surprised him with a new soccer ball. - This is to show how proud I am of you, she said. - Thanks, Mom! Luca exclaimed. He knew that honesty was always the best policy. - Let's go play outside, Maria suggested.
Luca and Maria played soccer outside, laughing and having fun. - I'm glad we always tell the truth, Luca said. - Me too, Maria replied. They both knew that honesty made their friendship stronger and their hearts happier.
