Many people admire the paintings and sculptures that artists create. Some very beautiful
paintings and sculptures were created by two men who lived in the same country at the
same time. These men were Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. They both lived in Italy
around the year 1500.
 
Leonardo da Vinci is most famous for his painting called the Mona Lisa. This is perhaps
the best-known painting in the world. The Mona Lisa shows the head and shoulders of a
dark-haired woman. When people look at this painting, they are often captivated by her
smile and by her eyes, which have a look of mystery.
 
Another painting of Leonardo’s is called The Last Supper. This painting shows a famous
scene from the Christian religion. In this painting, Jesus Christ is seated at the middle of a
long table, with his followers (the disciples) seated around him. Many of the paintings that
were created at this time have a religious theme.
 
Leonardo was not only an artist; he was also interested in engineering. He actually worked
for some time as an advisor to a military leader, helping him to develop new machines for
use in war. Leonardo also made rough drawings of machines that are similar to those that
were invented much later, such as submarines and helicopters. Obviously, Leonardo was
an extremely creative man.
 
Michelangelo was about 23 years younger than Leonardo. In addition to being a painter,
Michelangelo was also a sculptor, and many experts consider him the greatest sculptor of
all time. One of his most famous sculptures is David, which is a statue of a young man
who was a famous figure in the Bible. Another great sculpture of Michelangelo’s is called
the Pieta. The Pieta shows Mary, the mother of Jesus, holding the body of her son across
her lap.
 
Michelangelo is also famous for painting the ceiling of a church known as the Sistine
Chapel. The leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Julius, asked Michelangelo to
paint the ceiling of this new church. This project required many years of hard work, and the
Pope complained that it took too long. However, when the work was finished, the ceiling of
the Sistine Chapel was covered with beautiful paintings of many scenes from the Bible.
 
Fortunately, many of the works of Leonardo and of Michelangelo can still be seen today in
the art galleries of Europe. During the past 500 years, the color of the paintings had faded
somewhat, but in recent years, some work has been done to restore the paintings to their
original appearance.

Katie: So what are three foods you can't stand? Three foods that you hate? 

Gilda: Number one would be chocolate. 

Katie: Chocolate? 

Gilda: Yes. 

Katie: That's crazy. 

Gilda: I don't like the feeling you have when you put a piece of chocolate inside your mouth. It's
like too hot. Like if I eat a piece of chocolate, I need to drink a lot of water. 

Katie: Wow. 

Gilda: It feels – I don't like it. Yeah. 

Katie: I will gladly eat all your chocolate. If you have chocolate you don't want, I'm here. 

Gilda: Yeah. It's weird because when, you know, chocolate is very popular as a gift. Somebody is
always giving you chocolate and I take it because I don't want to say to everybody like, "I hate
chocolate actually." But yeah, what about you? What's something you don't really like? 

Katie: Well, I have something I don't like that I think is really popular. And every time I say I don't
like it, I always get the same like, "What?" kind of reaction, but I don't like ice cream. 

Gilda: What? 

Katie: I don't like ice cream. I don't think food should be that cold. I don't like it. Food shouldn't be
too cold to eat. 

Gilda: Really?

Katie: It's just not…

Gilda: You don't know what you're missing. Ice creams are really, really good especially in
summer. 

Katie: Chocolate is really good. Chocolate, I'll take chocolate over ice cream any day.

Gilda: Well, you can try chocolate ice cream. 

Katie: Oh, chocolate ice cream is the worst. Chocolate ice cream is the worst. No, thank you. 

Gilda: What about a second one? Do you have any second food that you don't like? 

Katie: I don't like tomatoes. Which is strange because I eat lots of pasta with tomato-flavored stuff
in it. But just tomatoes by themselves is not something I enjoy. Whenever I have like a hamburger
with a tomato, I always have to take it out and give it to someone else. Just, I don't like it. It's just
juicy and not in a good juicy way. 

Gilda: I don't like garlic. 

Katie: You don't like garlic? 

Gilda: I like garlic in food but I don't like to see it or eat it and have this, the taste of garlic, I don't
like it. 

Katie: Once you've got the taste of garlic, you don't get rid of that for about three days. 

Gilda: Exactly. That's another thing. Yeah. So when my mom is cooking and using garlic, she ...
after that, she had to remove it. She cannot leave any evidence that she was using garlic in her food.
Yes. 

Katie: Is there another food that you don't like? 

Gilda: I would say sprouts, Brussel sprouts. 

Katie: Yeah. No one likes sprouts. 

Gilda: Yes. It's bitter and even though some people say it's good for your body, I don't like them. 

Katie: I think, yeah, sprouts are just universally hated. No one like sprouts. 

Gilda: Yeah. But when you are a child, your parents, for some reason always giving you that.

Katie: Yeah. Cruel.

Gilda: Yeah. I don't like it. It looks like – I feel like a cow eating those things. Yeah. 

Katie: Yeah. I can imagine. It's just—ugh!

Gilda: What about you? Any other? 

Katie: I have one more but it's really strange. I've never actually eaten them but looking at them
makes me really uncomfortable, and that's olives. I hate olives. 

Gilda: No. I love them. 

Katie: I can't stand olives. Just looking at them makes me want to scream.

Gilda: Really?

Katie: Like I think it's the hole. I don't like the hole in olives. I'm like scared of olives. It's really
strange, but no. 
Gilda: I like them. 

Katie: You can have my olives.

Gilda: Very tasty green, black.

Katie: No. If I see them in a jar at the supermarket—

Gilda: Better than chocolate. 

Katie: Just no. No. No, no, no. I don't like them. Scared of olives. It's the craziest thing ever but no.
I don't like olives. Keep them away from me. 

Gilda: Good.
