(That's always better, to

The original: A Ceppo si faceva un presepino con la sua brava stella inargentata, coi Magi, coi pastori, per benino e la campagna tutta infarinata. La sera io recitavo un sermoncino con una voce da messa cantata, e per quel mio garbetto birichino buscavo baci e pezzi di schiacciata. Poi verso tardi tu m’accompagnavi alla nonna con dir: “Stanotte L’Angelo ti porterà chi sa che bei regali!”.
