La ´´Befana´´
La Bruja Befana en Italia
La bruja de la Befana es una figura típica de un gran número de zonas de Italia. Su nombre proviene de la palabra epifanía, la festividad religiosa en la época de Navidad que se celebra en Italia.Según la tradición, la Befana visita las casas de los niños de Italia la noche del 5 al 6 de enero montada en su escoba para llenar los calcetines que estos dejan en sus casas con regalos y caramelos si han sido buenos o con carbón si se han portado mal.
Orgien de la leyenda de la Befana
Según cuenta la leyenda de la Befana, los Reyes Magos al perderse de camino a Belén para llevar sus presentes al niño Jesús, pidieron ayuda a una anciana para que les guiase en el camino. A pesar de las súplicas de los Reyes Magos para que les ayudara, la anciana no accedió y se quedó en su casa.Después de pensárselo mejor, la anciana se arrepintió de no haber acompañado a los Reyes Magos y preparó una cesta con varios dulces y se fue en busca de los Reyes Magos. Al no conseguir encontrarles, la anciana se iba parando en cada casa que encontraba y regalaba los dulces que había preparado a los niños, confiando en que alguno de ellos fuera el niño Jesús.
Continuación de la tradición de la Befana
Desde entonces y hasta la actualidad, cada 6 de enero va a las casas de todos lo niños de Italia para ser perdonada, en lo que se ha convertido en una tradición obligatoria en las fiestas de Navidad en Italia y en una de las tradiciones más importantes del año, sobretodo para los niños.Tarea 8

"But it's £400 for a house near the town, and we're not rich." "No,"said Mrs White,"but we're happy here, aren't we, Herbert?" "Yes, but Dad's right," said Herbert. "We're a long way from the shops and the train and the bus."
One day, an old friend came to dinner. His name was Mr Morris. The Whites liked to hear his stories. He talked about many countries. When Mr Morris knocked at the door, Mr White opened it.
"Come in, come in," he said. "Good to see you. How are you? Come and sit by the fire,
