Italy was a small country that was captured by Germany. Despite the fact that Germany was mean to him at times, he loved him with all of his heart. But he also had a weakness for pasta! Italy would be walking to meet up with Germany somewhere, but will be dragged away by the scent of pasta that was coming from America's house. England came up with the plan to lead Italy away from big strong Germany by using pasta as bate!

"I must get to Germany! But I am so Hungry… But my love for Germany is stronger! I cannot just leave him because of my hunger!" Italy was talking to himself as he walked down the road. Meanwhile, England, France, America, and China were hiding behind the bushes on the edge of the road. France whispered, "How are we gonna catch Italy again?" China responded, "Why must you fail to listen when we have the meetings at America's house? We went over the plan at least twelve times!" France responded with, "Because I can hardly even look at America when he is shoving burgers into his face!" America looked at France, he did not speak because his mouth was stuffed with burgers and fries. China said, "Well you know how America is… Fat and Stupid!" America yelled back, "Hey! I'm not as stupid as France here!" France spoke, "I am very smart. Why are you so mean? Do you think you're better because your country is bigger than me?" America nodded proudly. England interrupted and said, "Shut up! We will lead Italy to America's house! Just watch!"

Italy continued walking down the road, suffering from his hunger. "I am so very hungry! I wish I had some food! Preferably pasta! I wonder if Germany cooked anything for me to eat!" Suddenly Italy stopped. The wind blew through his hair. He looked ahead of him. "What is this?" Right in the middle of the road was a plate full of pasta. Italy became filled with joy. "Oh thank you very much! Who ever left this plate of pasta here, I thank you! I thank you kind stranger!" Italy went to grab the plate. Back behind the bushes, England whispered to China, "Pull!" China pulled a string that was connected to the plate of pasta. The plate moved slightly. Italy looked at the pasta with disbelief. "What is going on?"

China continued to pull the string which made the plate of pasta move down the road in the opposite direction of where Italy was headed. Italy was struck with hunger and was in pain. He thought, "Should I go to Germany? Or should I follow that plate of delicious pasta? I don't know what to do!" The plate of pasta went down the road and Italy stared at it. His mouth Watered. Italy thought and thought and thought. "GAH! I CANNOT TAKE IT!" The pasta moved quickly down the road and Italy chased it with speed.

China shouted, "We did it!" America (who had finally stopped eating) said, "Good! Now China, keep pulling the string! We can all run to my house before Italy gets there! Just don't stop pulling the string!" America, China, England, and France all ran as fast as they could to get to America's house before Italy could. "Wait! For…. Me…" Said poor Canada who was left behind.

Germany was waiting for his little friend Italy. "Where could he be?" His friend Austria said, "Italy still hasn't arrived? I made pasta for him! I don't want it to go to waste…"
