Seller Cotesta I would not.
passing Oh that you would like another life again? ch'ho life made it, or that of the prince, or whoever else? Or do not believe that I, and the prince, and everyone else, like you would respond to the note, and that having to redo the same life that I did, nobody would want to go back?
Seller Cotesta I believe.
passing Neither you also go back with this pact, could not otherwise?
Seller Sir, no really, no returns.
passing Oh what a life would you then?
Seller I want a life like that, as God would send me, with no other terms.
passing A life at random, and not find another forward, as we do not know of the new year?
Seller Exactly.
passing So I would like even if I had to relive, and so all. But this is a sign that the case, until the end of this year, he treated everyone badly. And it is clear that each is of opinion that it was more or more by weight of the evil that is touched, that good, and if so long to get back the old life, with all its good and its bad, nobody wants to be reborn. That life which is a beautiful thing, is not the life that you know, but what you do not know, not the past life, but the future. Coll'anno again, the case will begin to treat you well and me and everyone else, and principierà happy life. Do you?
Seller hope.
passing So show me the almanac better than you.
Seller Behold, illustrious. Cotesta worth thirty cents.
passing is thirty cents.
Seller Thank you, illustrious: to see her again. Almanacs, Almanacs new, new moon.
