Many years ago, the Pandetti family lived in the mountains. Grandpa Pandetti traveled into the village to trade his goods.
While he was there, he looked for a special gift for his family. After a long search, he found a lovely mirror. Grandpa Pandetti bought the mirror and hurried home to his family.
It was late when Grandpa arrived home. He hung the mirror on the wall and then fell asleep quickly. Early in the morning, little Paul Pandetti woke up. As he walked into the room, he saw a young boy looking back at him. "Papa, Papa, someone has broken into our house. " Paul cried. Papa hurried down. He quickly looked at the mirror and saw a strong man looking back at him. He stared at the man. The man stared back soon. He hit the table hard and watched as the man hit hard on the table, too.
Mama Pandetti came into the room. She stopped in her way when she saw a young woman looking at her. Mama Pandetti smiled and waved at the woman. The woman also smiled and waved back at Mama.
Papa watched her with curiosity (好奇心) and then stepped up to the mirror with a smile. The strong man appeared once again in the mirror, but this time he wore a smile on his face.
From that day on, the Pandetti family smiled as they walked through the room. They were always greeted by a smile in return.
