Occasionally, there would be an automobile. Tony liked the little cars named "Balilla," after the Boys' Group. They are the smallest Italian cars made.

Tony bought chestnuts and munched them. Chestnuts often take the place of bread among the poor people.
Toward the end of day Tony began to miss Tina. He had seldom been separated from her for such a long time. So he returned to Anna's house.
He hoped that Anna had not forgotten to leave his dinner. He also hoped that her father would not forget to tell more stories tonight. This was a pleasant life.
But, of course, Tony was too wise to think that he could go on living like this forever. Guido might find him. Or Anna's father might discover him.
Yet if he ran off with Tina he would be a "thief like Guido!" No, that would never, never do!
Oh, how difficult it all was!
