Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! While you’re on the way to an Italian restaurant, you notice an elderly lady carrying what appears to be two heavy bags of groceries. It’s a hot evening in Italy, and you rush over to her, intending to ask in Italian whether you can help her. Of course, seeing a stranger rush down the Italian streets surprises her, and she begins to scream in Italian, “Help me, help me! This person is about to attack me!” You respond in Italian, “Ma’am, I’m sorry for startling you, but I’d just like to help you. Let me carry your groceries.” She replies in Italian, “Yes, of course. I just thought you were trying to rob me!” You tell her in Italian, “No…not unless you have some very valuable pasta in that bag of yours!” She chuckles and says in Italian, “Well, to an Italian, there is always great value in a delicious home-cooked meal!”
