The boy is born into beauty. His home is a country of great thinkers, artists, and musicians, with great cities and monuments.
His father is a machinist, a man who spends his days fixing and building cars and machines for his neighbors.
His mother keeps the house. She sings while she works, and is a great cook, able to bake up the sweetest treats and tastiest morsels for the boy
His grandmother lives nearby. She's blind in one eye and with a sore back, but still lively and funny. She sits the boy on her knee while she sings, and tells him stories of the old country.
