The first months the 3 girls sat in several classes without understanding a word. Six days a week. ‘That was boring’, Carmen says now, with understatement; `after a little while you understand some sentences, such as `take your pen’. Because you see everyone is taking his pen’. They dreamed of the possibility of talking with their classmates. After school the two eldest daughters went to the teacher Mirella, who taught them Italian and did their home work together. Their little sister Floor had less home work and enough time to become bored. After couple of months she got an Italian girlfriend, Elena, with whom she played, initially being silent, with the Barbie’s.
