Marvin was enjoying his spaghetti the other day and he
was wondering about who had invented these yummy noodles. At first he
thought that they had come from Italy, but when he went to the library he
found out that the Italian people did not really invent this yummy food.
They are very famous for the way that they can cook spaghetti, but they were
not the first people to ever make it.
A long time ago, (over 700 years in fact) there were some
very fierce tribes that attacked Italy. The cook from one of these tribes
was a woman. She fell in love with an Italian man, and one of the gifts that
she gave him to show her true love was the secret of how to make noodles.
Since then it has been the Italians that have made this food so famous all
around the world.
