Okay some things to make you understand better when the song comes.
When it's written like this it's the Italian verse
Written like this it's the english version
Part 4
"This isn't working", Jenny said with a sigh and put down her book and looked at Deuteronomy. "The boy doesn't understand me and you are in a hurry Deut."
Alonzo looked at them ashamed. He didn't understand what Jenny wanted him to do. He sniffled sadly and Munk looked at him with sympathy. Jenny and Deuteronomy argued on the matter and Munk thought for a bit. Then he grinned and threw a small rock at Alonzo. The other kitten looked up at him bemused. Munk grinned and pointed at a ball. He did some moves around it, pretending to attack. He then rolled the ball over to Alonzo and grinned. Alonzo cocked an eyebrow and Munk made a "go on" motion. Alonzo hesitantly did what Munk had done and then rolled the ball over.
"That's it", Munk cheered. "Oops." The grownups were looking at him. "Uh… Hi."
"Munkustrap", Deuteronomy said. "What are you doing?"
"Um…" Munk rubbed his neck and Alonzo looked at him. "Jenny can I try something?"
"Uh… yes of course dear", Jenny said confused. Munk went over to Alonzo.
"I'm Munkustrap", he said pointing at himself. He then put his paw on Alonzo's chest. "You Alonzo."
Alonzo looked at him and then the grownups and then back. He shook his head.
"Yes you can", Munk urged. He put a paw on his chest again. "I'm Munkustrap." He put his paw on Alonzo's chest again. "You Alonzo." He removed it and grinned. Alonzo sucked his lip and put a hand on his chest.
"You Alonzo", he said.
"No no no", Munk said grinning he put a paw on his chest again. "I'm Munkustrap." He walked up to his father and put a paw on him. "You Deuteronomy."
Deuteronomy smiled and put a paw on his chest.
"I'm Deuteronomy", he said and put his paw on Munk's head. "You Munkustrap."
Alonzo bit on his lip and put his paw on his chest again.
"I'm Alonzo", he said and Munk nodded grinning. Alonzo went up to Jenny and took her paw. "You Jenny."
"Yes", she said smiling.
"Money see monkey do", Deuteronomy remarked and Alonzo glared at him.
"Deuteronomy shame on you!" Jenny said. "The kit understands what you are saying!"
"I just meant-"
"I know exactly what you meant! Now shoo!"
Deuteronomy sighed and left. He patted Munk's head but Alonzo avoided Deuteronomy's paw.
"What did daddy mean", Munk asked.
"Oh nothing", Jenny said. "Now Munk do you mind helping Alonzo to learn English?"
Munk lit up with happiness.
"Really?" he asked.
"Of course."
"Yes!" He cheered and hugged Jenny. Then he grabbed Alonzo's hand. "Come Alonzo! This will be fun!"
"Fun?" Alonzo looked confused.
"Just come on."
Over the days Jenny and the other grownups watched as Munk taught Alonzo games, dances, and English. At first it was hard but after a bit they got a system going on and they both kept learning about each other and themselves. Jenny and the other grownups watched them play and learn and all smiled. Munk and Alonzo stayed together for weeks and Edan and Safir taught the both of them to fight. Alonzo could usually be found singing to himself, what he sang was this:
(Please do imagine Munk, Alonzo and other kittens playing together while the song is going on. Sorry for the Disney Movie thing :P)
Per averela forza di essereforte
Averela saggezza diessere saggio
Tutto quello chetiinsegna afine
Esulla stradacome si faora
Le vostre domande a risposta
È lei che sceglie il percorso
Siete voi che dà e prende
To have the power to be strong
To have the wisdom to be wise
All of that you will learn in time
And on the journey that you make now
Your questions want answers
It is you who chose the way
It is you who give and take
Alien vedere il cielo ora
Cuore aperto sentirsi liberi
Era che la vita ha fatto a diventare
Un giorno sei contento che tu stai
Stranger now see the sky
Open your heart feel free
Be what life let you become
One day you are happy that you are you
Si impara a voi stessi di vivere
Nessuno lì per prendere la mano
Con fiducia nella fede e nella fiducia
Avete intenzione di crescere da cucciolo a tom
You'll learn by yourself to live
No one is there to take your hand
With assurance, faith and trust
You shall grow from kitten to tom
Alien vedere il cielo ora
Cuore aperto sentirsi liberi
Vedere ciò che la vita ha fatto a diventare
Un giorno sei contento che tu stai
Stranger now see the sky
Open your heart feel free
See what life let you become
One day you are happy that you are you
Così si impara a fine
Là fuori ti insegnano
Prendete il vostro posto tra quelli che amate
E le cose che hai sognato
Il desiderio che avevi
Assicurarsi che ci si avvicina il vostro obiettivo ora
Ci hai messo lì per i suoi meriti
Then at last you will learn
From what you teach
You take your place amongst them you hold dear
And things you've dreamed of
The longing that you've had
Look, you're closing in on your goal
You got there by your own strength
Alien vedere il cielo ora
Cuore aperto sentirsi liberi
Era che la vita ha fatto a diventare
Alien era contento che tu stai
Straniero, straniero, straniero si vive ora
Stranger now see the sky
Open your heart feel free
Be what life let you become
Stranger be happy that you are you
Stranger, stranger, stranger you live now
But it wasn't only the grownups of the junkyard that watched the little ones playing. From the darkness of the junkyard two yellow eyes watched the little ones closely, especially the Italian and he only waited… waited for a chance to snatch him.
TBC There next chapter up. Sorry for the wait. The song used wasn't mine. It was Phil Collins' Son of Man... well the Swedish version with some slight modifacation to it and then translated to English and Italian ;)
HGP - And it will get worse ;)
KatyOnACloud - Your wish is my command *bows* sometimes anyway...
Malurina - I was wondering when you'd show up... happy you seem to like it this far
Missa Catlover - If you haven't read the "A week with..." series you will get disappointed I think.
