I Was a Child by Concetta La Placa - Italian Literature - Italian Fiction

Then my sister and I, excited, played all day long; until sunset arrived and ice took over, forcing us to go back inside.
Our noses were red, but our hearts were full of joy and love.
Some emotions, not even snow can freeze.
