I thought this question might perhaps bring il disiato riso, the long-wished-for smile, but the Scarabee interpreted it in the simplest zoological sense, and neglected its hint of playfulness with the most absolute unconsciousness, apparently, of anything not entirely serious and literal.

Before his eye there rose the lovely landscape the palace by the borders of the waveless lake the vineyards in the valley the dark forests waving from the hill and that home, the resort and refuge of all the minstrelsy and love of Italy, brightened by the "Lampeggiar dell' angelico riso," that makes a paradise in the face we love.
"Compare, compare, compareddu" he glanced at Gaspare, who joined in with him: "Compare, compare, compareddu, Io ti voglio molto bene, Mangiamo sempre insieme Mangiamo carne e riso E andiamo in Paradiso!"
