The Sisters' Italian Adventure

Once upon a time, there were two Italian princesses. Their names were Sofia and Bianca. They were sisters and best friends. Page 2 One windy night, a strong storm came to their castle. The sky turned dark and loud. When the morning came, the sisters were far apart. Page 3 Sofia woke up near Venice. She felt lonely and a little scared. But she remembered her sister’s smile. Page 4 Bianca woke up near Rome. She missed Sofia very much. She whispered, “I will find you.” Page 5 In her pocket, Sofia found a small folded map. A red line stretched across Italy. At the end of the line was a tiny heart. Page 6 Bianca also found a map in her dress. It looked the same. She knew her goal was clear: find her sister. Page 7 Sofia left Venice in a small wooden boat. She followed the red line on her map. Each step made her feel braver. Page 8 Bianca left Rome on a gentle white horse. She held her map close to her heart. She promised not to give up. Page 9 Sofia traveled to Florence. She saw tall towers and warm streets. At night, she looked at her map under the stars. Page 10 Bianca passed near Naples. The sea was bright and blue. The red line on her map began to glow softly. Page 11 Every night, both sisters looked at the same moon. They traced the red line with their fingers. It felt like an invisible string connecting them. Page 12 Sofia walked through Bologna. She felt tired, but she did not stop. The tiny heart on the map seemed closer. Page 13 Bianca traveled through Milan. Church bells rang in the distance. She smiled and followed the glowing line. Page 14 One bright morning, both sisters arrived in Assisi. The red lines on their maps ended in the same place. They looked up and saw each other. Page 15 They ran across the green grass. They hugged and laughed and cried. Their maps faded away, because their goal was complete.
