[audio:https://paroladelgiorno.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Salire.mp3|titles=salire]Mentre stavo salendo sull’autobus per poco l’autista nel chiudere la bussola mi lasciava incastrato, non si era reso conto che ancora non ero entrato del tutto dentro il bus.
While I was getting on the bus, the driver, while closing the door, almost left me stuck. He hadn’t realized that I still hadn’t not gotten all the way inside the bus.
