Memory Verse:
In Italian:
"Le Vocali"
Ah, che cose strombe!
L'A con due gambe;
L'E con tre braccia;
L'O tondo in faccia.
Curioso e L'U
Che guarda in su;
Ma il piu carino
L'I col puntino.
In English:
Oh, what strange things!
The A with two legs;
The E with three arms;
The O's round face.
Different is the U that looks up;
But the cutest one is the I with the dot.
