[audio:https://paroladelgiorno.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/occhiata.mp3|titles=l’occhiata]Questa mattina ho visto un gattino sotto una macchina che piangeva. Mi sono avvicinato per dare un’occhiata più da vicino e vedere se potevo prenderlo ma appena sono andato vicino la macchina è scappato.
This morning I saw a kitten under the car that was crying. I got closer to have a closer look and to see if I could take it, but as I soon as I got close to the car it ran off.
