Читать книгу Gondolier Cat in Venice - - Страница 8

The gondola glided gracefully through the serene waters of Venice, and Osman the cat took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Tonny the gondolier. With a curious tilt of his head and a slight flick of his tail, Osman approached Tonny, his golden eyes lit up with interest.

– Hi, Tonny! Osman greeted him with a soft purr.

– Can I ask you a question?

Tonny, a cheerful young man with a warm smile and a twinkle in his eyes, turned to Osman with a grin.

– Hello, Osman! He replied, his voice was full of friendliness. – Of course, you can ask me anything. What exactly do you want to know?

Osman’s mustache twitched with excitement as he asked his question to Tonny.

– I was wondering, Tonny, Osman began, – where did you learn to be a gondolier?

– Your skill and experience are really impressive.

Tonny’s smile widened in response to Osman’s question, and he chuckled softly as he recalled his journey to becoming a gondolier.

– Well, thank you, Osman, Tonny replied with a note of nostalgia in his voice.

– I come from a long family of gondoliers – my father was a gondolier, and his father before him. You see, this is a family profession.

Osman listened attentively to Tonny’s words, intrigued by the idea that gondolier is a family tradition. But deep down, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there might be other ways to fulfill his dream of becoming a gondolier.

– Thanks for sharing your story, Tonny, Osman said in a thoughtful voice. – It is interesting to hear about your family’s legacy as gondoliers. But I can’t help but wonder if there are other gondolier teachers who could help me make my own dreams come true.

Tonny nodded understandingly, his eyes twinkling encouragingly.

– Indeed, Osman, he replied, and his voice was full of warmth.

– The port is teeming with experienced gondoliers who would be more than happy to share their knowledge with you. If becoming a gondolier is your dream, then I have no doubt that you will find a way to make it a reality.
