Answer:

  7, Ferdinand Street Verona 24th July, 20XX Dear Emily It was a great pleasure to receive your letter. I know you would have been very worried after knowing about my illness. Even I would feel very happy to share my worst as well as the most important episode of my life. Well, the war really destroyed our life. We had been leading a comfortable life, but my father's death left us homeless. Our house was destroyed in the war and we had to live in roadside shelters. My brothers Nicola and Jacopo went out for some days and when they returned they found me a patient of spinal tuberculosis. They were almost shattered but kept themselves up just for my sake because they had in a way pledged not to lose me. They did all they could to save me. They got me admitted to the hospital for treatment and went out on the streets to work hard to earn money for my treatment. They did all kind of odd jobs such as selling strawberries, polishing shoes, hawking news paper, conducting tourists and many other menial jobs. Their high sense of determination to see me cured, love, care and deep concern are the reasons behind my getting cured. Today I am well enough, but I am deeply moved by all what they have done for me. I am very proud that God has blessed me with such brothers. Write about your well being and if possible come and meet me as there is still lot left to tell you. Take care. Yours lovingly Lucia Or The nightingale had a melodious voice. Her song attracted all the creatures of the bog towards her. They admired her song and always demanded her to sing more and more. She attracted the crowd through her melodious voice. The greedy frog sold her song for money by charging an entry fee from every creature. But inspite of this, the nightingale turns out to be a loser and dies. Her lack of confidence and servile attitude led her to believe the crafty frog.
