CRITICAL SUMMARY Nicola and Jacopo were two brothers, aged 13 and 12 respectively.
Their widower father was a well-known singer and was killed in the war against Germany. The war made them homeless and they had no one in the world except their sister Lucia. After the war they were reunited but found their sister suffering from tuberculosis of the spine. The narrator met the boys at the outskirts of Verona and he bought a box of wild barriers from them. The narrator found them undertaking different jobs to earn money. They also took the tourists to the places of their inters rest to Juliet's tomb in and around Verona. They were very helpful to the narrator and his driver Luigi as could do anything for them before going. The younger brother Jacopo asked the narrator if he could drive them to their village which was 30miles from Verona. The narrator’s driver Luigi had the Sunday off but the narrator drove them himself to Poleta. They leaped out from the car before a large red-roofed villa and promised to come back within an hour . the narrator rang the bell of grilled entrance and a young lady in the dress of nurse came out. She was a nurse who bade him to look through the glass partition without saying anything. The narrator saw both the brothers sitting at the bedside of a girl of twenty. The girl resembled her two brothers. The narrator requested the nurse to tell him everything what she knew about them. The nurse told him everything and also how the brothers persuaded them to take their sister Lucia into the hospital. She had made a good progress in the last twelve months and they hoped that Lucia would able to walk and sing again. The nurse told him that Lucia’s brothers made weekly payments for hospitals bills. The narrator waited outside until the boys rejoined him, then he drove them back to the city. They sat beside the narrator but no one uttered a word. The narrator wanted them feel that they had kept their secret safely. Their selfless love, sacrifice and devotion touched the narrator’s heart. Even the war had not broken their sprit. Their selfless action gave a new hope for humanity.
