The morning sun came in through the window. It illuminated the street. Luca, an eight-year-old boy, was full of energy. He entered the "Sweet Smile Bakery" with his mom, Laura. His green eyes shone with happiness. He looked at the display cases. There were many colorful and sweet cakes. Sofia, his younger sister, would turn six the next day. Luca wanted her party to be special.
Dopo un po', Luca indicò una grande torta. Aveva tre piani. Era decorata con belle rose di crema rosa. Sopra c'era scritto "Buon Compleanno Sofia". La mamma, con un sorriso dolce, disse che andava bene. Mentre la mamma pagava, Luca pensava alla gioia di Sofia quando avrebbe visto la torta. Sentiva molta felicità nel cuore.

After a while, Luke pointed to a large cake. It had three tiers. It was decorated with beautiful pink cream roses. On it was written "Happy Birthday Sofia." Mom, with a sweet smile, said it was okay. As Mom paid, Luke thought of Sofia's joy when she saw the cake. He felt much happiness in his heart.
Tornati a casa, la loro casa era nel quartiere. Era un posto tranquillo. La casa divenne un laboratorio segreto. La cucina fu il centro di tutto. Luca e la mamma prepararono le decorazioni. Luca, con i capelli castani un po' in disordine, gonfiava palloncini di ogni colore. La mamma lo aiutava a mettere ghirlande colorate sul soffitto.
