Pietro, a courageous young boy from Italy, dreams of creating the best pizza in town. Facing multiple challenges and setbacks, he learns that courage and determination can help him achieve his dreams.
Pietro made the journey there on his bike from the farm where he lived with his family. He ordered his slice and sat outside on the stoop enjoying every bite and then feeding one of the stray cats the last of his crust. Pietro had just turned ten years old. He stood tall for his size, slender, with sandy brown hair and light blue eyes. His skin tone was lighter than most of his Italian family members, as his features mirrored those of his father.
On this busy morning the pizzeria was packed. Pietro, his father, mother, and brothers Domenick, John, and Alfred hustled in. “La tua pizza migliore la prendiamo noi,” said Pietro’s father. “We’ll take your best pizza.” After what seemed like an eternity, with a growing hollow in his stomach, Pietro and his family got their pizza. The owner, Luigi, also gave his father a bag of focaccia. “Addio amico mio. Viaggia in sicurezza (“Goodbye my friend. Travel safely),” he said as the family of six hustled out the door and back out into the busy street.
The elder agreed to give Pietro the key, but warned him of another challenge. " - The oven is old and fragile. Be careful," he said. Pietro and Marco reached the oven, only to find it rusted and covered in soot. " - This is going to be harder than I thought," Pietro admitted. They scrubbed and tightened bolts, but nothing seemed to work. " - We need a better plan," Marco suggested.
After hours of trying, Pietro felt like giving up. " - Maybe it's impossible," he said, sitting on the steps of the village square. Marco patted his back, sharing the disappointment. " - We can't give up now," Marco encouraged. But the oven remained stubbornly broken. Pietro stared at the oven, feeling its weight on his shoulders. " - I don't know what to do," he confessed.
Just then, an old baker approached them with a smile. " - Have you tried using the ancient recipe?" she asked. Pietro's eyes lit up with hope. " - What recipe?" he asked eagerly. She handed him a dusty, parchment scroll. " - This might be the answer," Pietro said, feeling a surge of courage. With renewed energy, they followed the recipe, mixing ingredients with care.
With the ancient recipe, Pietro and Marco finally fixed the oven. The village gathered around as the first pizza baked to perfection. " - It's working!" Pietro shouted joyfully. Everyone cheered as the delicious aroma filled the air. " - You did it!" Marco clapped Pietro on the back. Pietro beamed with pride, knowing his courage had saved the day.
