Antonio Rossi was a very good glassblower in Venice. One day, his daughter Clara walked into his workshop and her father was there too, standing beside two glass vases(花瓶). “I have made them for Mr Lombardi, the great writer in Venice,” Antonio said. “Now I must go and get Mr Lombardi.”
After he left the workshop, Clara found a note beside the vases. Clara read it and smiled. As she turned, she bumped the vases. They fell to the ground and broke into many pieces. Only the round bases(底座)were not broken.
Clara picked up one of the round bases. “What will I tell my father?” She held the piece, crying. Suddenly, she saw Mr Lombardi's note when she looked through the glass. The letters were big! She picked up the other base and looked through it. It worked, too! The words looked bigger.
Clara thought quickly. She found a wire(金属丝)and carefully wrapped(用……绕住)it around the two glass pieces. Just as she finished, Mr Lombardi and her father walked in.
“Now let me show you the...” Clara's father stopped and looked at the broken vases on the floor. “Oh, Clara!”
“I'm so sorry, Father,” Clara said.

安东尼奥·罗西是威尼斯一位非常出色的吹玻璃工人。一天，他的女儿克拉拉走进他的工作室，她的父亲也在那里，正站在两个玻璃花瓶旁。“我为隆巴迪先生做了这两个花瓶，他是威尼斯的大作家。”安东尼奥说，“现在我必须去接隆巴迪先生。”
他离开工作室后，克拉拉在花瓶旁边发现了一张纸条。克拉拉读了纸条，然后笑了。当她转身时，她撞到了花瓶。花瓶掉到地上，摔成了很多碎片。只有圆形的底座没有碎。
克拉拉捡起其中一个圆形底座。“我要怎么跟我父亲说呢？”她拿着那块玻璃，哭了起来。突然，当她透过玻璃看时，她看到了隆巴迪先生的纸条。字母变大了！她捡起另一个底座，透过它看。它也起作用了！字看起来更大了。
克拉拉迅速思考。她找到一根金属丝，小心地把它绕在这两块玻璃碎片上。就在她完成的时候，隆巴迪先生和她的父亲走了进来。
“现在让我给你展示……”克拉拉的父亲停了下来，看着地板上破碎的花瓶。“哦，克拉拉！”
“我很抱歉，爸爸。”克拉拉说。
“你手里拿的是什么？”隆巴迪先生问道。
“我用碎玻璃片做的。”克拉拉说，“透过它们看看。”她举起纸条让他看。

“我的妻子因为眼睛的问题没法读我的书。这将是我给她的礼物！这将是有史以来最棒的礼物！你的女儿做了一件非常有用的东西。”
