I suck at riddles. The only thing I can think of is a modeled city.

There's a saying, "no pain, no game".

Is it one of those model train sets?

3 construction workers who built high rises sat down together for lunch everyday at work. The first Italian construction worker opens his lunch and finds a sausage sandwich, the second Portuguese construction worker finds a fish sandwich, and the third American construction worker finds a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. These hard working men kept getting the same sandwich everyday. One day they all agreed to kill them selves if their sandwiches remained the same.
Well...That day came and they all plunged to their death from the high rise building.
At the funeral, The American wife and Portuguese wife who were crying together noticed that the Italian wife was not crying. So the brave American wife walked over and said too Sofia (Italian) wife “don’t you know our husbands killed themselves because we made them the same sandwiches everyday”? Sofia looked somewhat shocked and confused replied... “Non capisco un caso.. mio marito ha fatto su panni di solo per pranzo”. I don’t understand.. my husband made his own lunch!

frank, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say
first I thought the Italian wife would say they deserved to die because they were stupid enough to not share their sandwiches together and the whole story was about finding a solution for the problem instead of whining, but now I don't get her answer.
