  Speaker 1: Chapter one. How it happened that Mastro Cherry carpenter found
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a piece of wood that wept and laughed like a child.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Centuries ago there lived a king. My little readers will
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: say immediately, no, children, you are mistaken. Once upon a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: time there was a piece of wood. It was not
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: an expensive piece of wood, far from it, just a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: common block of firewood, one of those thick, solid logs
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that are put on the fire in the winter to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: make cold rooms cozy and warm. I do not know
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: how this really happened, yet the fact remains that one
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: fine day this piece of wood found itself in the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: shop of an old carpenter. His name was Mastro Antonio,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: but everybody called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: his nose was so round and red and shiny that
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: it looked like a ripe cherry. As soon as he
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Rubbing his hands together happily, he mumbled half to himself,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: this has come in the nick of time. I shall
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: use it to make the leg of a table. He
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: grasped the hatchet quickly to peel off the bark and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: shape the wood. But as he was about to give
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it the first blow. He stood still with arm uplifted,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: for he had heard a wee little voice say, in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a beseeching tone, please be careful, do not hit me
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: so hard. With a look of surprise shone on Mastro
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Cherry's face, his funny face became funnier still. He turned
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: frightened eyes about the room to find out where that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: wee little voice had come from, And he saw no one.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: He looked under the bench, no one. He peeped inside
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the closet, no one. He sir among the shavings, no one.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: He opened the door to look up and down the street,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and still no one. Oh, I see, he said, laughing
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and scratching his wig. It can easily be seen that
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I only thought I heard the tiny voice say the words, well,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: well to work. Once more, he struck a most solemn
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: blow upon the piece of wood. Oh oh, you hurt,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: cried the same far away little voice. Mastro Cherry groomed dumb,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: his eyes popped out of his head, his mouth wide open,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and his tongue hung down on his chin. As soon
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: as he regained the use of his senses, he said,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: trembling and stuttering from fright where did that voice come
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: from when there is no one around? Might it be
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that this piece of wood has learned to weep and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: cry like a child? I can hardly believe it. Here
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it is a piece of common fire, good only to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: burn in the stove, the same as any other. Yet
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: for him. I'll fix him with these words. He grabbed
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the log with both hands and started to knock it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: about unmercifully. He threw it to the floor, against the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: walls of the room, and even up to the ceiling.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: He listened for the tiny voice to moan and cry.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: He waited two minutes nothing, five minutes nothing, ten minutes nothing.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Oh I see, he said, trying bravely to laugh and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: ruffling up his wig with his hand. It can easily
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: be seen. I only imagined I heard the tiny voice. Well, well,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to work once more. The poor fellow was scared half
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to death, so he tried to sing a gay song
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in order to gain courage. He set aside the hatchet
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and picked up the plane to make the wood smooth
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and even. But as he drew it to and fro,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: he heard the same tiny voice. This time it giggled
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: as it spoke. Ha ha, stop it, stop it, ha ha.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: You tickle my stomach this time, poor Mastro Cherry fell
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: as if shot. When he opened his eyes, he found
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: himself sitting on the floor. His face had changed fright,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: had turned even the tip of his nose from red
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to deepest purple. End of chapter one, Chapter two, Mastro
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Cherry gives the piece of wood to his friend Geppetto,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: who takes it to make himself a marionette that will
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: dance fence and turn somersaults. In that very instant, a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: loud knock sounded on the door. Come in, said the carpenter,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: not having an atom of strength left with which to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: stand up at the words. The door opened, and a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: dapper little old man came in. His name was Shippetto,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: but to the boys of the neighborhood he was Polandina,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: on account of the wig he always wore, which was
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: just the color of yellow corn. Geppetto had a very
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: bad temper. Woe to the one who called him Polandina.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: He became as wild as a beast, and no one
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: could soothe him. Good day, Mastro Antonio, said Gippetto, what
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: are you doing on the floor. I am teaching the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: ants their A B c's good luck to you? What
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: brought you here? Friend? Gippetto my legs? And it may
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: flatter you to know, Mastro Antonio, that I have come
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to beg for a favor. Here, I am at your service,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: answered the carpenter, raising himself on to his knees. This
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: morning a fine idea came to me. Let's hear it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I thought of making myself a beautiful wooden marionette. It
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: must be wonderful one that will be able to dance
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: fence and turn somersaults with it. I intend to go
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: around the world to earn my crust of bread and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: cup of wine. What do you think of it? Bravo Polandina,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: cried the same tiny voice, which came from no one
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: knew where. On hearing himself called Polandina, Mastrogiapetto turned the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: color of a red pepper, and facing the carpenter, said
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to him angrily, why do you insult me? Who is
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: insulting you? You called me Polandina? I did not I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: suppose you think I did? Yet I know it was you. No, yes, no, yes,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And growing angrier each moment, they went from words to blows,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and finally began to scratch and bite and slash each other.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: When the fight was over, Mastro Antonio had Gippetto's yellow
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: wig in his hands, and Geppetto found the carpenter's curly
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: wig in his mouth. Give me back my wig, shouted
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Mastro Antonio in a surly voice. You return mine, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: we'll be friends. The two little old men, each with
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: his own wig back on his own head, shook hands
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and swore to be friends for the rest of their lives. Well, then,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Mastro Geppetto, said the carpenter to show he bore him.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: No ill, will what is it you want? I want
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a piece of wood to make a marionette? Will you
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: give it to me? Mastro Antonio, very glad, indeed went
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: immediately to his bench to get the piece of wood
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: which had frightened him so much. But as he was
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: about to give it to his friend, with a violent jerk,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it slipped out of his hands and hit against poor
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Geppetto's thin leg. Ah, is this the gent away, Massro Antonio,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: in which you make your gifts. You have made me
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: almost lame. I swear to you I did not do it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It was I. Of course, it is the fault of
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this piece of wood. You're right, but remember you were
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the one to throw it at my legs. I did
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: not throw it. Liar Geppetto, do not insult me, or
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I shall call you Polandina, idiot, Polandina, donkey, Polandina, ugly monkey, Polandina.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: On hearing himself called Polandina for the third time, Geppetto
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: lost his head with rage and threw himself upon the carpenter.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Then and there they gave each other a sound thrashing.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: After this fight, Mastro Antonio had two more scratches on
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: his nose, and Geppetto had two buttons missing from his coat. Thus,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: having said mettled their accounts, they shook hands and swore
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to be good friends for the rest of their lives.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Then Geppetto took the fine piece of wood Saint Masstro Antonio,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and limped away towards home. End of chapter two.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Chapter three. As soon as he gets home, Geppetto fashions
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the marionette and calls it Pinocchio. The first pranks of
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the marionette. Little as Geppetto's house was, it was neat
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and comfortable, It was a small room on the ground floor,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: with a tiny window under the stairway. The furniture could
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: not have been much simpler. A very old chair, a
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: rickety old bed, and a tumble down table. A fireplace
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: full of burning logs was painted on the wall opposite
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the door. Over the fire there was painted a pot
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: full of something, which kept boiling happily away and sending
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: up clouds of what looked like real steam. As soon
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: as he reached home, Geppetto took his tools and began
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to cut and shape the wood into a marionette. What
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: shall I call him, he said to himself. I think
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I'll call him Pinocchio. This name will make his fortune.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I knew a whole family of Pinocchi, once Pinocchio the father,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Pinocchio the mother, and Pinocchi the children, and they were
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: all lucky. The richest of them begged for his living.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: After choosing the name for his marionette, Geppetto set seriously
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: to work to make the hair, the forehead, the eyes
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: fancy his surprise when he noticed that these eyes moved
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: and then stared fixedly at him. Geppetto, seeing this, felt
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: insulted and said in a grieved tone ugly wood in eyes,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Why do you stare so There was no answer. After
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the eyes, Geppetto made the nose, which began to stretch.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: As soon as finished. It stretched and stretched and stretched,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: till it became so long it seemed endless. Poor Geppetto
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: kept cutting it and cutting it, but the more he cut,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the longer grew that impertinent nose. In despair, he left
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: it alone. Next he made the mouth. No sooner was
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: it finished than it began to laugh and poke fun
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: at him. Stop laughing, said Geppetto angrily. But he might
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: as well have spoken to the wall. Stop laughing, I say,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: he roared in a voice of thunder. The mouth stopped laughing,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: but it stuck out a long tongue. Not wishing to
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: start an argument, Geppetto made believe he saw nothing and
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: went on with his work. After the mouth, he made
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the chin, then the neck, the shoulders, the stomach, the arms,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and the hands. As he was about to put a
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: last touches on the fingertips, Geppetto felt his wig being
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: pulled off. He glanced up, and what did he see?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: His yellow wig was in the marionette's hand. Pinocchio, give
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: me my wig, but instead of giving it back, Pinocchio
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: put it on his own head, which was half swallowed
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: up in it. At that unexpected trick, Geppetto became very
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: sad and downcast, more so than he had ever been before. Pinocchio,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: You wicked boy, he cried out. You are not yet finished,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and you start out by being impudent to your poor
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: old father. Very bad, my son, very bad. And he
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: wiped away a tear. The legs and feet still had
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: to be made. As soon as they were done, Geppetto
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: felt a sharp kick on the tip of his nose.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I deserve it, he said to himself. I should have
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: thought of this before I made him. Now it's too late.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: He took hold of the marionette under the arms and
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: put him on the floor to teach him to walk.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Pinocchio's legs were so stiff that he could could not
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: move them, and Geppetto held his hand and showed him
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: how to put one foot after the other. When his
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: legs were timbered up, Pinocchio started walking by himself and
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: ran all around the room. He came to the open door,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and with one leap he was out into the street
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: away he flew. Poor Geppetto ran after him, but was
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: unable to catch him, for Pinocchio ran in leaps and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: bounds his two wooden feet as they beat on the
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: stones of the street, making as much noise as twenty
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: peasants in wooden shoes. Catch him, catch him. Geppetto kept shouting,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: but the people in the street, seeing a wooden marionette
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: running like the wind, stood still to stare and to laugh,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: until they cried at last by sheer luck. A carabineer
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: begin note a military policeman and note happened along who,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: hearing all that noise, thought that it might be a
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: runaway colt, and stood bravely in the middle of the
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: street with legs wide apart, firmly resolved to stop it
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: and prevent any trouble. Pinocchio saw the carabineer from afar
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: and tried his best to escape between the legs of
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the big fellow, but without success. The carabineir grabbed him
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: by the nose. It was an extremely long one and
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: seemed made on purpose for that very thing, and returned
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: him to Maestro Geppetto. The little old man wanted to
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: pull Pinocchio's ears. Think how he felt when, upon searching
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: for them, he discovered that he had forgotten to make them.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: All he could do was to seize Pinocchio by the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: back of the neck and take him home. As he
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: was doing so, he shook him two or three times
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: and said to him angrily, we're going home now. When
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: we get home, then we'll settle this matter. Pinocchio, on
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: hearing this, threw himself on the ground and refused to
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: take another step. One person after another gathered around the
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: two said one thing some another. Poor marionette called out,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: a man, I am not surprised he doesn't want to
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: go home. Geppetto, no doubt, will beat him unmercifully. He
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: is so mean and cruel. Geppetto looks like a good man,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: added another. But with boys, he is a real tyrant.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: If we leave that poor marionette in his hands, he
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: may tear him to pieces. They said so much that
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: finally the carabinir ended matters by setting Pinocchio at liberty
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and dragging Geppetto to prison. The poor old fellow did
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: not know how to defend himself, but wept and wailed
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: like a child, and said between his sobs ungrateful boy
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: to think I tried so hard to make you a
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: well behaved marionette.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I deserve it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: However, I should have given the matter more thought. What
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: happened after this is an almost unbelievable story, but you
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: may read it, dear children, in the chapters that follow.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: End of chapter three, Chapter four, the story of Pinocchio
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: and the Talking Cricket, in which one sees that bad
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: children do not like to be corrected by those who
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: know more than they do. Very little time did it
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: take to get poor old geppetto to prison. In the
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: meantime that Rascal Pinocchio, free now from the clutches of
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: the carabineer, was running wildly across the fields and meadows,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: taking one short cut after another toward home. In his
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: wild flight, he leapt over brambles and bushes, and across
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: brooks and ponds, as if he were a goat or
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: a hare chased by hounds. On reaching home, he found
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the house door half open. He slipped into the room,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: locked the door, and threw himself on the floor, happy
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: at his escape. But his happiness lasted only a short time,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: for just then he heard someone saying.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Creer, creer, creer, who is calling me?
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Asked Pinocchio. Greatly frightened, I am Pinocchio, turned and saw
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: a large cricket crawling slowly up the wall. Tell me, cricket,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: who are you? I am the talking cricket, and I
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: have been living in this room for more than one
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: hundred years to day. However, this room is mine, said
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the marionette. And if you wish to do me a favor,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: get out now, and don't turn around even once. I
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: refuse to leave this spot, answered the cricket, until I
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: have told you a great truth. Tell it then and hurry.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Woe to boys who refuse to obey their parents and
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: run away from home. They will never be happy in
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: this world, and when they are older, they will be
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: very sorry for it. Sing on, cricket, mine as you please.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: What I know is that tomorrow at dawn, I leave
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: this place forever. If I stay here, the same thing
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: will happen to me, which happens to all other boys
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: and girls. They are sent to school, and whether they
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: want to or not, they must study. As for me,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: let me tell you I I hate to study. It's
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: much more fun I think to chase after butterflies, climb
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: trees and steal birds nests. Poor little silly, don't you
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: know that if you go on like that, you will
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: grow into a perfect donkey, and that you will be
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the living stock of everyone. Keep still, you, ugly cricket,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: cried Pinocchio. But the cricket, who was a wise old philosopher,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: instead of being offended at Pinocchio's impudence, continued in the
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: same tone. If you do not like going to school,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: why don't you at least learn a trade so that
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: you can earn an honest living Shall I tell you something,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: asked Pinocchio, who was beginning to lose patience. Of all
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the trades in the world, there is only one that
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: really suits me. And what can that be? That of eating, drinking, sleeping, playing,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: and wandering around from morning till night. Let me tell
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: you for your own good, Pinocchio said the talking cricket
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: in his calm voice, that those who follow that trade
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: always end up in the hospital or in prison. Careful,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: ugly cricket, if you make me angry, you will be sorry.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Poor Pinocchio, I am sorry for you. Why because you
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: are a marionette. And what is much worse? You have
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: a wooden head. At these last words, Pinocchio jumped up
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: in a fury, took a hammer from the bench, and
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: threw it with all his strength at the talking cricket.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Perhaps he did not think he would strike it, but
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: sad to relate my dear children, he did hit the
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: cricket straight on its head with a last week crea
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: creat creet. The poor cricket fell from the wall dead
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: end of chapter four.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Chapter five, Pinocchio is hungry and looks for an egg
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: to cook himself an omelet, but to his surprise, the
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: omelet flies out the window. If the cricket's death scared
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Pinocchio at all, it was only for a few moments.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: For as night came on, a queer empty feeling at
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: the pit of his stomach reminded the marionette that he
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: had eaten nothing as yet. A boy's appetite grows very fast,
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: and in a few moments the queer empty feeling had
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: become hunger, and the hunger grew bigger and bigger, until
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: soon he was as ravenous as a bear. Poor Pinocchio
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: ran to the fireplace where the pot was boiling, and
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: stretched out his hand to take the cover off, But
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: to his amazement, the pot was only painted. Think how
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: he felt his long nose became at least two inches longer.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: He ran about the room, dug in all the boxes
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: and drawers, and even looked under the bed and searched
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: a piece of bread, hard though it might be, or
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: a cookie, or perhaps a bit of fish. A bone
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: left by a dog would have tasted good to him.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: But he found nothing, And meanwhile his hunger grew and grew.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: The only relief poor Pinocchio had was to yawn, and
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: he certainly did yawn, such a big yawn that his
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: mouth stretched out to the tips of his ears. Soon
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: he became dizzy and faint. He wept and wailed to himself.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: The talking cricket was right. It was wrong of me
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: to disobey father and to run away from home. If
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: he were here now I wouldn't be so hungry. Oh
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: how horrible it is to be hungry. Suddenly he saw
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: among the sweepings in the corner, something round and white
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: that looked very much like a hen's egg. In a jiffy,
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: he pounced upon it. It was an egg. The married
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: AT's joy knew no bounds. It is impossible to describe it,
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: you must picture it to yourself. Certain that he was dreaming,
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: he turned the egg over and over in his hands,
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: fondled it, kissed it, and talked to it. And now
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: how shall I cook you? Shall I make you an omelet? No,
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: it is better to fry you.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: In a pan.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Or shall I drink you? No? The best way is
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: to fry you in the pan. You will taste better.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: No sooner said than done. He placed a little pan
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: over a footwarmer full of hot coals. In the pan
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: instead of oil or butter, he poured a little water.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: As soon as the water started to boil tac he
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: broke the egg shell. But in place of the white
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: and the yolk of the egg, a little yellow chick,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: fluffy and gay and smiling, escape from it. Bowing politely
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: to Pinocchio, he said to him many, many thanks, indeed,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: mister Pinocchio, for having saved me the trouble of breaking
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: my shell. Goodbye and good luck to you, and remember
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: me to the family. With these words, he spread out
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: his wings, and, darting to the open window, he flew
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: away into space till he was out of sight. The
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: poor marionette stood out as if turned to stone, with
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: wide eyes, open mouthed, and the empty halves of the
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: egg shell in his hands. When he came to himself,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: he began to cry and shriek at the top of
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: his lungs, stamping his feet on the ground and wailing.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: All the while. The talking cricket was right, if I
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: had not run away from home, and if father was
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: here now, I should not be dying of hunger. Oh,
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: how horrible it is to be hungry. And as his
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: stomach kept grumbling more than ever, and he had nothing
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: to quiet it with, he thought of going out for
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: a walk to the nearby village in the hope of
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: finding some charitable person who might give him a bit
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: of bread. End of chapter five. Chapter six, Pinocchio falls
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: asleep with his feet on a footwarmer, and awakens the
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: next day with his feet all burned off. Pinocchio hated
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: the dark street, but he was so hungry that in
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: spite of it, he ran out of the house. The
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: night was pitch black, It thundered, and bright flashes of lightning.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: Now it again shot across the sky, turning it into
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: a sea of fire. An angry wind blew cold and
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: raised dense clouds of dust, while the trees shook and
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: moaned in a weird way. Pinocchio was greatly afraid of
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: thunder and lightning, but the hunger he felt was far
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: greater than his fear. And a dozen leaps and bounds
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: he came to the village tired out, puffing like a wail,
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: and with tongue hanging. The whole village was dark and deserted.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: The stores were closed, the doors, the windows in the streets.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: Not even a dog could be seen. It seemed the
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: village of the dead. Pinocchio, in desperation, ran up to
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: a doorway, threw himself upon the bell, and pulled it wildly,
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: saying to himself, someone will surely answer that he was right.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: An old man in a nightcap opened the window and
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: looked out. He called down angrily, what do you want
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: at this hour of night? Will you be good enough
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: to give me a bit of bread? I am hungry.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Wait a minute, and I'll come right back, answered the
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: old fellow, thinking he had to deal with one of
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: those boys who loved to roam around at night, ringing
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: people's bells while they are peacefully asleep. After a minute
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: or two, the same voice cried, get under the window
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: and hold out your hat. Pinocchio had no hat, but
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: he managed to get under the window just in time
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: to fill a shower of ice. Cold water poured down
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: on his poor wooden head, his shoulders, and over his
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: whole body. He returned home as wet as a rag,
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: and tired out from weariness and hunger. As he knows
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: no longer had any strength left with which to stand.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: He sat down on a little stool and put his
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: two feet on the stove to dry them. There he
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: fell asleep, and while he slept, his wooden feet began
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: to burn. Slowly, very slowly, they blackened and turned to ashes.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Pinocchio snored away happily, as if his feet were not
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: his own. At dawn, he opened his eyes just as
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: a loud knocking sounded at the door. Who is it,
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: he called, yawning and rubbing his eyes. It is, I,
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: answered a voice. It was the voice of Geppetto end
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: of chapter six, Chapter seven, Geppetto returns home and gives
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: his own breakfast to the marionette. The poor marionette, who
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: was still half asleep, had not yet found out that
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: his two feet were burned and gone As soon as
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: he heard his father's voice, he jumped up from his
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: seat to open the door, but as he did so,
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: he staggered and fell headlong to the floor. In falling,
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: he's made as much noise as a sack of wood
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: falling from the fifth story of a house. Open the
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: door for me, Geppetto, shouted from the street. Father, dear, father,
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: I can't, answered the marionette, in despair, crying and rolling
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: on the floor. Why can't you? Because someone is eating
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: my feet? And who is eating them? The cat, answered Pinocchio,
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: seeing that little animal busily playing with some shavings in
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: the corner of the room, Open, I say, repeated Geppetto.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: Or I'll give you a sound whipping when I get in. Father,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: believe me, I can't stand up. Oh dear, oh dear,
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: I shall have to walk on my knees all my life. Geppetto,
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: thinking that all these tears and cries are only other
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: pranks of the marionette, climbed up the side of the
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: house and went in through the window. At first he
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: was very angry, but on seeing Pinocchio stretched out on
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: the floor and really without feet, he felt very sad
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: and sorrowful. Picking him up from the floor, he fondled
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: and caressed him, talking to him while the tears ran
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: down his cheeks. My little Pinocchio, My dear little Pinocchio,
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: how did you burn your feet? I don't know, father,
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: but believe me, the night has been a terrible one,
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: and I still remembered as long as I live. The
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: thunder was so noisy and the lightning so bright, and
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: I was hungry. And then the talking cricket said to me,
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: you deserve it. You were bad. And I said to him, careful, cricket,
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: and he said to me, you are a marionette and
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: you have a wooden head. And I threw the hammer
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: at him, and I killed him. It was his own fault,
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: but I didn't want to kill him. And I put
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: the pan on the coals. But the chick flew away
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: and said, I'll see you again, remember me to the family.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: And I hung grew and I went out, and the
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: old man with a nightcap looked out the window and
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: threw water on me. And I came home and I
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: put my feet in the stove to dry them because
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: I was still hungry, and I fell asleep. And now
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: my feet are gone. But my hunger isn't oh oh oh,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: and poor Pinocchio began to scream and cry so loudly
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: that he could be heard for miles around. Geppetto, who
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: had understood nothing of all that jumbled talk except that
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: the marionette was hungry, felt sorry for him, and, pulling
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: three pears out of his pocket, offered them to him, saying,
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: these three pears were for my breakfast, but I give
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: them to you. Gladly eat them and stop weeping. If
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: you want me to eat them, please peel them for me.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: Peel them, asked Geppetto, very much surprised. I should never
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: have thought, dear boy of mine, that you were so
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: dainty and fussy about your food. Bad, very bad, and
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: this world even his children. And we must accustom ourselves
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: to eat of everything, for we never know what life
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: may hold in store for us. You may be right,
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: answered Pinocchio, but I will not eat the pears if
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: they are not peeled. I don't like them. And good
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: old Geppetto took out a knife, peeled the three pears,
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: and put the skins on a row in the table.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: Pinocchio went one pair in a twinkling and started to
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: throw the core away, but Geppetto held his arm. Oh no,
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: don't throw it away. Everything in this world may be
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: of some use, but the core I will not eat,
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: cried Pinocchio in an angry tone. Who knows, repeated Geppetto calmly,
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: And later the three cores were placed on the table
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: next to the skins. Pinocchio had eaten the three pears,
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: or rather devoured them. Then he yawned deeply and wailed,
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: I'm still hungry, but I have no more to give you,
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: really nothing nothing. I have only these three cores and
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: these skins. Very well, then, said Pinocchio, if there is
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: nothing else, I'll eat them. At first he made a
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: wry face, but one after another, the skins and the
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: cores disappeared. Ah now I feel fine, he said, after
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: eating the last one. You see, observed Geppetto that I
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: was right when I told you that one must not
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: be too fussy and too dainty about food. My dear,
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: we never know what life may have in store for us.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: End of chapter seven.
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: Chapter eight, Gippetto makes Pinocchio a new pair of feet
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: and sells his coat to buy him an ABC book.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: The Marionette as soon as his hunger was appeased, started
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: to grumble and cry that he wanted a new pair
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: of feet, But Mastro Geppetto, in order to punish him
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: for his mischief, let him alone the whole morning. After dinner,
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: he said to him, why should I make your feet
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: over again to see you run away from home once more?
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: I promise you, answered the marionette, sobbing that from now on,
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: I'll be good. Boys always promise that when they want something,
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: said Geppetto, I promise to go to school every day,
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: to study and to succeed. Boys always sing that song
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: when they want their own will. But I'm not like
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: other boys. I am better than all of them, and
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: I'll always tell the truth. I promise you, father that
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: I'll learn a trade, and I'll be the comfort and
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: staff of your old age. Geppetto, though trying to look
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: very stern, felt his eyes fill with tears and his
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: heart soften when he saw Pinocchio so unhappy. He said
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: no more, but taking his tools and two pieces of wood,
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: he set to work diligently. In less than an hour,
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: the feet were finished, two slender, nimble, little feet, strong
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: and quick modeled as if by an artist's hands, close
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: your eyes and sleep. Geppetto then said to the marionette.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: Pinocchio closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, while
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: Geppetto stuck on the two feet with a bit of
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: glue melted in an egg shell, doing his work so
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: well that the joint could hardly be seen. As soon
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: as the marionette felt his new feet, he gave one
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: leap from the table and started to skip and jump
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: around as if he had lost his head from very joy.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: To show you how grateful I am to you, father,
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: I'll go to school now. But to go to school,
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: I need a suit of clothes. Geppetto did not have
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: a penny in his pocket, so he made his son
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: on a little suit of flowered paper, a pair of
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: shoes from the bark of a tree, and a tiny
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: cap from a bit of dough. Pinocchio ran to look
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: at himself in a bowl of water, and he felt
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: so happy that he said proudly, now I look like
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: a gentleman, truly, answered Geppetto. But remember that fine clothes
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: do not make the man unless they are neat and clean.
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: Very true, answered Pinocchio. But in order to go to school.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: I still need something very important. What is it? An
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: A B C Book, to be sure, But how shall
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: we get it? That's easy, We'll go to the bookstore
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: and buy it. And the money I have none, neither have,
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: I said the old man sadly. Pinocchio, though a happy boy,
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: always became sad and downcast at these words. When poverty
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: shows itself, even mischievous boys understand what it means. What
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: does it matter? After all? Cried geppetto all at once,
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: as he jumped up from his chair, Putting on his
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: old coat full of darns and patches, he ran out
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: of the house without another word. After a while he returned.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: In his hands he had the A B C Book
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: for his son, but the old coat was gone. The
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: poor fellow was in his shirt sleeves, and the day
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: was cold. Where's your coat? Father? I have sold it.
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: Why did you sell your coat? It was too warm?
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: Pinocchio understood the answer in a twinkling, and, unable to
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: restrain his tears, he jumped on his father's neck and
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: kissed him over and over. So ends chapter eight. Chapter nine.
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: Pinocchio sells his A B C. Book to pay his
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: way into the Marionette Theater see Pinocchio hurrying off to
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: school with his new A B. C. Book under his arm.
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: As he walked along, his brain was busy planning hundreds
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: of wonderful things, building hundreds of castles in the air.
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: Talking to himself, he said, in school to day, I'll
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: learn to read tomorrow, to write the day after tomorrow,
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: while do arithmetic and clever as I am, I can
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: earn a lot of money. With the very first pennies
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: I make, I'll buy father a new cloth coat cloth.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: Did I say no? It shall be of gold and
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: silver with diamond buttons. That poor man deserves it for
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: after all, isn't he in his shirt sleeves because he
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: was good enough to buy a book for me on
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: this cold day too? Fathers are indeed good to their children.
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: As he talked to himself, he thought he heard sounds
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: of pipes and drums coming from a distance.
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: Pee pee pee pee pee pee.
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: Zum zum sum sum. He stopped to listen. Those sounds
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: came from a little street that led to a small
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: village along the shore. What can that noise be? What
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: a nuisance that I have to go to school otherwise?
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: Then he stopped. Very much puzzled, he felt he had
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: to make up his mind for either one thing or another.
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: Should he go to school or should he follow the pipes.
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: To day, I'll follow the pipes, and tomorrow I'll go
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: to school. There's always plenty of time to go to school,
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: decided the little rascal at last, shrugging his shoulders. No
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: sooner said than done. He started down the street, going
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: like the wind. On he ran and louder grew the
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: sounds of pipe and drum pee pee pee pee pee
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: pee peep peepee sum zum zum zum. Suddenly he found
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: himself in a large square full of people, standing in
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: front of a little wooden building painted in brilliant colors.
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: What is that house, Pinocchio asked the little boy near him.
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: Read the side, and you'll know I'd like to read,
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: but somehow I can't today. Oh really, and I'll read
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: it to you know then that written in letters of fire,
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: I see the words Great Marionette Theater. When did the
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: show start? It's starting now? And how much does one
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: pay to get? In four pennies? Pinocchio, who was wild
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: with curiosity to know what was going on inside, lost
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: all his pride, and said to the boy shamelessly, will
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: you give me four pennies until tomorrow? I'd give them
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: to you gladly, answered the other, poking fun at him.
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: But just now I can't give them to you for
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: the price of four pennies. I'll I'll sell you my
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: coat if it rains. What shall I do with a
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: coat of flowered paper? I could not take it off again?
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: Do you want to buy my shoes? They are only
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: good enough to light a fire with. What about my hat?
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: Fine bargain? Indeed a cap of dough? The mice might
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: come and eat it from my head. Pinocchio was almost
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: in tears. He was just about to make one last offer,
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: but he lacked the courage to do so. He hesitated,
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: he wondered, he could not make up his mind. At last,
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: he said, will you give me four pennies for the book?
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: I am a boy, and I buy nothing from boys,
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: said the little fellow, with far more common sense than
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: the marionette. I'll give you four pennies for your A. B. C. Book,
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: said a ragpicker who stood by. Then and there the
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: book changed hands. And to think that poor old geppetto
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: sat at home his shirt sleeves, shivering with cold, having
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: sold his coat to buy that little book for his son.
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: So ends chapter nine. Chapter ten. The marionettes recognize their
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: brother Pinocchio and greet him with loud cheers, but the
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: director fire eater happens along and poor Pinocchio almost loses
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: his life. Quick as a flash, Pinocchio disappeared into the
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: Marionette theater, and then something happened which almost caused a riot.
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: The curtain was up and the performance had started. Harlequin
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: and Punchinella were reciting on the stage, and as usual,
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: they were threatening each other with sticks and blows. The
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: theater was full of people, enjoying the spectacle and laughing
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: till they cried at the antics of the two marionettes.
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: The play continued for a few minutes, and suddenly, without
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: any warning, harle When stopped talking. Turning toward the audience,
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: he pointed to the rear of the orchestra, yelling wildly.
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: At the same time, look, look, am I asleep or awake?
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: Do I really see Pinocchio there? Yes, yes, it is Pinocchio,
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: screamed Pulchinella, it is it is, shrieked Signora Rosaura. Peeking
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: from the side of the stage. It is Pinocchio. It
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: is Pinocchio, yelled all the marionettes pouring out of the wings.
• 41:29
  Speaker 7: It is Pinocchio. It is our brother, Pinocchio. Hurrah for Pinocchio. Pinocchio,
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: come up to me, shouted Harlequin. Come to the arms
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: of your wooden brothers. At such a loving invitation, Pinocchio,
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: with one leap from the back of the orchestra, found
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: himself in the front rows. With another leap, he was
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: on the orchestra leader's head. With a third he landed
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: on the stage. It is impossible to describe the shrieks
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: of joy, the warm embraces the knox, and the friendly
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: readings with which that strange company of dramatic actors and
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: actresses received Pinocchio. It was a heartrending spectacle. But the audience,
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: seeing that the play had stopped, became angry and began
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: to yell the play, the play, we want the play.
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: The yelling was of no use for the marionettes, instead
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: of going on with their act, made twice as much
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: racket as before, and lifting up Pinocchio on their shoulders,
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: carried him around the stage in triumph. At that very
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: moment the director came out of his room. He had
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: such a fearful appearance that one look at him would
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: fill you with horror. His beard was black as pitch,
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: and so long that it reached from his chin down
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: to his feet. His mouth was as wide as an oven,
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: his teeth like yellow fangs, and his eyes to glowing
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: red coals. In his huge, hairy hands, along whip made
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: of green snakes and black cats, tails twisted together, switched
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: through the air in a dangerous way. At the unexpected apparition,
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: no one even dared breathe. One could almost hear a
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: fly go by. Those poor marionettes one and all trembled
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: like leaves in a storm. Why have you brought such
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: excitement into my theater? The huge fellow asked Pinocchio, with
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: the voice of an ogre suffering from a gold Believe me,
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: your honor, the fault was not mine enough. Be quiet,
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: I'll take care of you later. As soon as the
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: play was over, the director went to the kitchen, where
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: a fine, big lamb was slowly turning on the spit.
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: More wood was needed to finish cooking it. He called
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: Harlequin and Puchinella and said to them bring that marionette
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: to me. He looks as if he were made of
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: well seasoned wood. He'd make a fine fire for this.
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: Harlequin and Pulchinella hesitated a bit, then, frightened by a
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: look from their master, they left the kitchen to obey him,
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: a few minutes later they returned, carrying poor Pinocchio, who
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: was wriggling and squirming like an eel and crying pitifully.
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: Father saved me. I don't want to die. I don't
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: want to die, so ends chapter ten.
• 44:25
  Speaker 9: Chapter eleven, fire Eater's nieces and forgives Pinocchio, who saved
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: his friend Pylaquin from death in the theater. Great excitement
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: reigns fire Eater. This was really his name was very ugly,
• 44:48
  Speaker 9: but he was far from being as bad as he looked.
• 44:53
  Speaker 9: Proof of these is that when he saw the poor
• 44:57
  Speaker 9: Marineth being brought into him, struggling with fear and crying,
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: I don't want to die, I don't want to die,
• 45:07
  Speaker 9: he felt sorry for him and began first to waiver
• 45:10
  Speaker 9: and then to waken. Finally, he could control himself no
• 45:15
  Speaker 9: longer and gave a loud sneeze. At that sneez Halkin,
• 45:21
  Speaker 9: who until then had been as sad as a weeping willow,
• 45:26
  Speaker 9: smiled happily, and leaning toward the Marnett, whispered to him,
• 45:32
  Speaker 9: good news, brother mine. Fire Eater has knees, and this
• 45:36
  Speaker 9: is a sign that he feels sorry for you. You
• 45:39
  Speaker 9: are safe for being known that. While other people went
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: sad and sorrowful, weep and wipe their eyes, fire Eater,
• 45:51
  Speaker 9: on the other hand, had the strange habit of sneezing
• 45:54
  Speaker 9: each time he felt unhappy. The way was just as
• 45:59
  Speaker 9: good as any other to show the kindness of his heart.
• 46:03
  Speaker 9: After sneezing, fire either ugly as ever, cried to Pinocchio,
• 46:09
  Speaker 9: stop crying your waiights. Give me a funny feeling down
• 46:13
  Speaker 9: here in my stomach. And it's gee, it's see. Two
• 46:19
  Speaker 9: loud sneezes finished his speech. God bless you, said Pinocchio. Thanks,
• 46:27
  Speaker 9: are your father and mother still living? Demanded fire either
• 46:33
  Speaker 9: my father, yes, my mother. I have never known your
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: poor father will suffer terribly if I were to use
• 46:44
  Speaker 9: you as a fire with poor old man. I feel
• 46:49
  Speaker 9: sorry for him. It's gee, it's gee, it's tea. Three
• 46:57
  Speaker 9: more sneezes sounded louder than never God bless you, said Pinocchio. Thanks, however,
• 47:08
  Speaker 9: I ought to be sorry for myself too. Just now
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: my good dinner is spoiled. I have no more wood
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: for the fire, and the lamb is only half cooked.
• 47:22
  Speaker 9: Never mind in your place over some other marinette. Hey there,
• 47:27
  Speaker 9: officers at the coal. Two wooden officers appeared long and
• 47:34
  Speaker 9: thin as a yard of rope, with queer hats on
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: their heads and swords in their hands. Fire either yelled
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: at them in a hoarse voice, Take Harlequin, tie him
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: and throw him on the fire. I want my lamb
• 47:51
  Speaker 9: well done. See how poor Harlequin felt. He was so
• 47:58
  Speaker 9: scared that his double up under him and he fell
• 48:03
  Speaker 9: to the floor. Pinocchio, at that heartbreaking side, threw himself
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: at the feet of fire eater, and, weeping bitterly, asked,
• 48:15
  Speaker 9: in a pittiful voice which could scarcely be heard, have pity,
• 48:21
  Speaker 9: I beg of you, senor. There are no signori here,
• 48:28
  Speaker 9: Have pity, concert, there are no sirs here, Have pity,
• 48:34
  Speaker 9: your excellancy. On hearing himself addressed as your excellancy, the
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: director of the marinette theater sat up very straight in
• 48:46
  Speaker 9: his chair, struck his long beard, and becoming suddenly kind
• 48:52
  Speaker 9: and compassionate, smiled proudly as he said to Pinocchio, Well,
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: what do you want for me now, Marinette? I beg
• 49:03
  Speaker 9: for mercy for my poor friend Harlequin, who has never
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: done the least harm in his life. There is no
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: mercy here, Pinocchio, I have spared you. Harlequin must burn
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: in your place. I am hungry and my dinner must
• 49:24
  Speaker 9: be cooked. In that case, said Pinocchio proudly, as he
• 49:29
  Speaker 9: stood up and flung away his cap up dough. In
• 49:33
  Speaker 9: that case, my duty is clear. Come, officers, tie me
• 49:39
  Speaker 9: up and throw me on those planes. No, it is
• 49:42
  Speaker 9: no fair for poor Harlekin, the best friend that I
• 49:46
  Speaker 9: have in the world, to die in my place. These
• 49:51
  Speaker 9: brave words, said in a piercing voice, made all the
• 49:55
  Speaker 9: other Marinett's cry. Even the officers who were made of
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: wood also cried like two babies. Fire Eater at first
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: remained hard and cold as a piece of eyes, But
• 50:10
  Speaker 9: then little by little he softened and began to sneeze,
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: And after four or five sneezes, he opened white his
• 50:22
  Speaker 9: arms and said to Pinocchio, you are a brave boy.
• 50:27
  Speaker 9: Come to my arms and kiss me. Pinocchio ran to him, and,
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: scarring like a squirrel, up the long black beard. He
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: gave fire Either a loving kiss on the tip of
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: his nose. Has pardon been granted to me? Asked poortharking
• 50:45
  Speaker 9: with a voice that was hardly a breath. Pardon is yours,
• 50:50
  Speaker 9: answered fire Either, and sighing and wagging his hat, he added, well, tonight,
• 50:58
  Speaker 9: I shall have to eat my legs. I'm only half cooked,
• 51:02
  Speaker 9: but they were the next time, Marinette, at the news
• 51:08
  Speaker 9: that pardon had been given, the Marinette's friend to the stage,
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: and turning on all the lights, they danced and said
• 51:18
  Speaker 9: till dawn. And of chapter eleven.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: Chapter twelve, fire Eater gives Pinocchio five gold pieces for
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: his father, a Geppetto, but the Marionette meets a fox
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: and a cat and follows them. The next day, fire
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: Eater called Pinocchio aside and asked him, what is your
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: father's name, Geppetto, and what is his trade? He's a
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: wood carver. Does he earn much? He earns so much
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: that he never has a pinion in his pockets. Just
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: think that in order to buy me an ABC book
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: for school, he had to sell the only cod he owned,
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: a coat so full of darns and patches that it
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: was a pity. Poor fellow. I feel sorry for him. Here,
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: take these five gold piece go give them to him.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: With my kindest regards. Pinocchio, as may easily be imagined,
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: thanked him a thousand times. He kissed each marionette in turn,
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: even the officers, and beside himself with joy, set out
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: on his homeward journey. He had gone barely half a
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: mile when he met a lame fox and a blind
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: cat walking together like two good friends. The lame fox
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: leaned on the cat, and the blind cat let the
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: fox lead him along. Good morning, Pinocchio, said the fox,
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: greeting him courteously. How do you know my name? Asked
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: the marionette. I know your father?
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: Where have you seen him? I saw him yesterday standing
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: at the door of his house. What was he doing?
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: He was in his shirt sleeves, trembling with cold. Oh
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: poor father, But after today, God willing, he will suffer
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: no longer. Why because I have become a rich man.
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: You a rich man, said the fox, and he began
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: to laugh out bloud. The cat was laughing also, but
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: tried to hide it by stroking his long whiskers. There
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: is nothing to laugh at, cried Pinocchio angrily. I am
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: very sorry to make your mouth water, But these, as
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: you know, are five new gold pieces. And he pulled
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: out the gold pieces which fire Eater had given him.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: At the cheerful tinkle of gold, the fox unconsciously held
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: out his paw that was supposed to be lame, and
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: the cat opened wide his two eyes till they looked
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: like live coals. But he closed them again so quickly
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: that Pinocchio did not notice. And may I ask, inquired
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: the fox. What you are going to do with all
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: that money? First of all, answered the marionette, I want
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: to buy a fine new coat for my father, a
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: coat of gold and silver with diamond buttons. After that
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: I'll buy an A B. C. Book for myself for yourself.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: For myself, I want to go to school and study hard.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: Look at me, said the fox, for the silly reason
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: of wanting to study, I have lost a paw. Look
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: at me, said the cat, for the same foolish reason,
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: I have lost the sight of both eyes. At that moment,
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: a blackbird perched on the fence along the road called
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: out shap and clear, Pinocchio, do not listen to bad advice.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: If you do, you'll be sorry, poor little blackbird if
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: he'd only kept his words to himself. In the twinkling
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: of a eyelid, the cat leapt on him and ate him,
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: feathers and all. After eating the bird, he cleaned his whiskers,
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: closed his eyes, and became blind once more. Poor blackbird,
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: said Pinocchio to the cat, why did you kill him?
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: I killed him to teach him a lesson. He talks
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: too much. Next time, you will keep his words to himself.
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: By this time, the three companions had walked a long distance. Suddenly,
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: the fox stopped in his tracks, and, turning to the marionette,
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: said to him, do you want to double your gold pieces?
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: What do you mean? Do you want one hundred a thousand,
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: two thousand gold pieces for your miserable five? Yes? But
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: how the way is very easy. Instead of returning home,
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: come with us, and where will you take me? To
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: the city of simple simons. Pinocchio thought, awhile, and then
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: said firmly no, I don't want to go. Home is near,
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: and I'm going where father is waiting for me. How
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: unhappy he must be that I have not yet returned.
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: I have been a bad son. And the talking cricket
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: was right when he said that a disobedient boy cannot
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: be happy in this world. I have learned this at
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: my own expense. Even last night in the theater, when
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: a fire eater bo the shivers run up and down
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: my back at the mere thought of it. Well, then
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: said fox, if you really want to go home, go ahead,
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: but you'll be sorry. You'll be sorry, repeated the cat.
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: Think well, Pinocchio, you are turning your back on Dame Fortune.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: On Dame Fortune, repeated the cat. Tomorrow your five gold
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: pieces will be two thousand, two thousand, repeated the cat.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: But how can they possibly become so many, asked Pinocchio, wonderingly.
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: I'll explain, said the fox. You must know that just
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: outside the city of Simple Simons, there is a blessed
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: field called the Field of Wonders. In this field, you
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: dig a hole, and in the hole you bury a
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: gold piece. After covering up the hole with earth, you
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: water it well, sprinkle a bit of salt on it,
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: and go to bed. During the night, the gold piece sprouts, grows, blossoms,
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: and next morning you find a beautiful tree that is
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: loaded with gold pieces. So that if I were to
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: bury my five gold pieces, cried Pinocchio, with growing wonder,
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: next morning I should find how many? It is very
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: simple to figure out, answered the fox. Why you can
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: figure it on your fingers. Granted that each piece gives
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: you five hundred, multiply five hundred. By five next morning
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: you will find twenty five hundred new sparkling gold pieces,
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: fine fine, cried Pinocchio, dancing about with joy. And as
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: soon as I have them, I shall keep two thousand
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: for myself, and the other five hundred i'll give to
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: you too, a gift for us, cried the fox, pretending
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: to be insulted. Why of course not, of course not,
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: repeated the cat. We do not work for gain, answered
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: the fox. We work only to enrich others. Do enrich others,
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: repeated the cat. What good people?
• 56:56
  Speaker 5: Thought?
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: Pinocchio to himself, and forgetting his father, the new coat,
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: the A B. Sea Book, and all his good resolutions,
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: he said to the fox and the cat, let us go,
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: I am with you. End of chapter.
• 57:08
  Speaker 10: Twelve, Chapter thirteen, The Inn of the Red Lobster. Cat
• 57:14
  Speaker 10: and fox and Marionette walked and walked and walked. At last,
• 57:19
  Speaker 10: toward evening, dead tired, they came to the inn of
• 57:22
  Speaker 10: the Red Lobster. Let us stop here for a while,
• 57:26
  Speaker 10: said the fox, to eat a bye and rest for
• 57:29
  Speaker 10: a few hours. At midnight we'll start out again, for
• 57:33
  Speaker 10: at dawn tomorrow we must be at the field of Wonders.
• 57:37
  Speaker 10: They went into the inn and all three sat down
• 57:40
  Speaker 10: at the same table. However, not one of them was
• 57:44
  Speaker 10: very hungry. The poor cat felt very weak, and he
• 57:48
  Speaker 10: was able to eat only thirty five mullets with tomato
• 57:51
  Speaker 10: sauce and four portions of tripe with cheese. Moreover, as
• 57:55
  Speaker 10: he was so in need of strength, he had to
• 57:57
  Speaker 10: have four more helpings of butter and cheese. The fox,
• 58:01
  Speaker 10: after a great deal of coaxing, tried his best to
• 58:03
  Speaker 10: eat a little. The doctor had put him on a diet,
• 58:07
  Speaker 10: and he had to be satisfied with a small hair
• 58:09
  Speaker 10: dressed with a dozen young and tender spring chickens. After
• 58:13
  Speaker 10: the hare, he ordered some partridges, a few pheasants, a
• 58:17
  Speaker 10: couple of rabbits, and a dozen frogs and lizards.
• 58:20
  Speaker 7: That was all.
• 58:22
  Speaker 10: He felt ill, he said, and could not eat another bite.
• 58:26
  Speaker 10: Pinocchio ate least of all. He asked for a bite
• 58:29
  Speaker 10: of bread and a few nuts, and then hardly touched them.
• 58:33
  Speaker 10: The poor fellow, with his mind on the field of wonders,
• 58:37
  Speaker 10: was suffering from a gold piece indigestion. Supper over, the
• 58:41
  Speaker 10: fox said to the innkeeper, give us two rooms, one
• 58:46
  Speaker 10: from mister Pinocchio and the other from me and my friend.
• 58:50
  Speaker 10: Before starting out, we'll take a little nap. Remember to
• 58:53
  Speaker 10: call us at midnight sharp, for we must continue on
• 58:56
  Speaker 10: our journey. Yes, sir, answered the innkeeper, winking in a
• 59:00
  Speaker 10: knowing way at the fox and the cat, as if
• 59:03
  Speaker 10: to say, I understand. As soon as Pinocchio was in bed,
• 59:08
  Speaker 10: he fell fast asleep and began to dream. He dreamed
• 59:12
  Speaker 10: he was in the middle of the field. The field
• 59:15
  Speaker 10: was full of vines, heavy with grapes. The grapes were
• 59:18
  Speaker 10: no other than gold coins, which tinkled merrily as they
• 59:22
  Speaker 10: swayed in the wind. They seemed to say, let him
• 59:25
  Speaker 10: who wants us take us. Just as Pinocchio stretched out
• 59:28
  Speaker 10: his hand to take a handful of them, he was
• 59:31
  Speaker 10: awakened by three loud knocks at the door.
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: It was the innkeeper who.
• 59:35
  Speaker 10: Had come to tell him that midnight had struck are
• 59:38
  Speaker 10: my friends ready, the marionette asked him. Indeed, yes, they
• 59:42
  Speaker 10: went two hours ago. Why in such a hurry? Unfortunately,
• 59:47
  Speaker 10: the cat received a telegram which said that his firstborn
• 59:50
  Speaker 10: was suffering from chilblains and was on the point of death.
• 59:53
  Speaker 10: He could not even wait to say goodbye to you.
• 59:55
  Speaker 10: Did they pay for the supper? How could they do
• 59:58
  Speaker 10: such a thing? Being people of great refinement, they did
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 10: not want to offend you so deeply as not to
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 10: allow you the honor of paying the bill. Too bad
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 10: that offense would have been more than pleasing to me,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 10: said Pinocchio, scratching his head. Where did my good friends
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 10: say they would wait for me? He added, At the
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 10: Field of Wonders At sunrise tomorrow morning. Pinocchio paid a
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 10: gold piece for the three suppers and started on his
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 10: way toward the field that was to make him a
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 10: rich man. He walked on, not knowing where he was going,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 10: for it was dark, so dark that not a thing
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 10: was visible round about him. Not a leaf, stirred, a
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 10: few bats skimmed his nose now and again, and scared
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 10: him half to death. Once or twice he shouted, who
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 10: goes there? And the far away hills echoed back to him,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 10: who goes there, Who goes there?
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: Who goes?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 10: As he walked, Pinocchio noticed a tiny insect glimmering on
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 10: the trunk of a tree, A small being that glowed
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 10: with a pale, soft light. Who are you, he asked,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 10: I am the ghost of the talking cricket, answered the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 10: little being, in a faint voice that sounded as if
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 10: it came from a far away world. What do you want,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 10: asked the marionette. I want to give you a few
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 10: words of good advice. Return home and give the four
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 10: gold pieces you have left to your poor old father,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 10: who is weeping because he has not seen you for
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 10: many a day. Tomorrow my father will be a rich man,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 10: for these four gold pieces will become two thousand. Don't
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 10: listen to those who promise you wealth over night, my boy.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 10: As a rule, they are either fools or swindlers. Listen
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 10: to me and go home. But I want to go on.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 10: The hour is late, I want to go on. The
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 10: night is very dark. I want to go on. The
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 10: road is dangerous. I want to go on. Remember that
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 10: boys who insist on having their own way, sooner or
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 10: later come to grief. The same nonsense goodbye cricket. Good night, Pinocchio.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 10: I may Heaven preserve you from the assassins. There was
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 10: silence for a minute, and the light of the talking
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 10: cricket disappeared suddenly, just as if someone had stuffed it out.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 10: Once again, the road was plunged in darkness.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 7: End of chapter thirteen, Chapter fourteen. Pinocchio, not having listened
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 7: to the good advice of the talking cricket, falls into
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 7: the hands of the assassins. Dear, oh, dear, when I
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 7: come to think of it, said the marionette to himself,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: as he once more set out on his journey. We
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 7: boys are really very unlucky. Everybody scolds us, everybody gives
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 7: us advice, everybody warns us. If we were to allow it,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 7: everyone would try to be father and mother to us, everyone,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 7: even the talking cricket. Take me, for example, just because
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 7: I would not listen to that bothersome cricket. Who knows
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 7: how many misfortunes may be awaiting me. Assassins. Indeed, at
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 7: least I have never believed in them, or ever will
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 7: to talk sensibly. I think assassins have been invented by
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 7: fathers and mothers to frighten children who want to run
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 7: away at night. And then even if I were to
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 7: meet them on the road, what matter. I'll just run
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: up to them and say, well, Signory, what do you want?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 7: Remember that you can't fool with me, Run along and
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 7: mind your business. At such a speech, I can almost
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: see those poor fellows running like the wind. But in
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 7: case they don't run away, I can always run myself.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 7: Pinocchio was not given time to argue any longer, for
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 7: he thought he heard a slight rustle among the leaves
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 7: behind him. He turned to look, and behold, there in
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 7: the blackness stood two big black shadows, wrapped from head
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 7: to foot in black facts. The two figures leaped toward him,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 7: as softly as if they were ghosts. Here they come,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 7: Pinocchio said to himself, and not knowing where to hide
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 7: the gold pieces, he stuck all four of them under
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 7: his tongue. He tried to run away, but hardly had
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 7: taken a step when he felt his arms grasped and
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 7: heard two horrible, deep voices say to him your money
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 7: or your life? On account of the gold pieces in
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 7: his mouth, Pinocchio could not say a word, so he
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 7: tried with head and hands and body to show as
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 7: best he could, that he was only a poor marionette
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: without a penny in his pocket. Come on, less nonsense,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 7: and out with your money, cried the two thebes in
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 7: threatening voices. Once more Pinocchio's head and hands said I
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 7: haven't a penny. Out with that money, or you're a
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 7: dead man, said the taller of the two assassins. Dead man,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 7: repeated the other. And after having killed you, we will
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 7: kill your father also your father. Also, No, no, not
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 7: my father, cried Pinocchio, wild with terror. But as he screamed,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 7: the gold pieces tink together in his mouth. Ah, you rascals,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 7: So that's the game. You have the money hidden under
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 7: your tongue. Out with it. But Pinocchio was as stubborn
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 7: as ever.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 8: Are you deaf?
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 7: Wait, young man, we'll get it from you. In a twinkling,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 7: one of them grabbed the marionette by the nose, the
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 7: other by the chin, and they pulled him unmercifully from
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 7: side to side in order to make him open his mouth.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 7: All was of no use. The marionette's lips might have
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 7: been nailed together, they would not open. In desperation, the
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 7: smaller of the two assassins pulled out a long knife
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 7: from his pocket and tried to pry Pinocchio's mouth open
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 7: with it. Quick as a flash, the marionette sank his
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 7: teep deep into the assassin's hand, bit it off, and
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 7: spat it out. Fancy is surprised when he saw that
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 7: it was not a hand but a cat's paw. Encouraged
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 7: by this first victory, he freed himself from the claws
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 7: of his assailors, and, leaping over the bushes along the road,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 7: ran swiftly across the fields. His pursuers were after him
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 7: at once, like two dogs chasing a hare. After running
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 7: several miles or so, Pinocchio was well nigh exhausted. Seeing
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 7: himself lost, he climbed up a giant pine tree and
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 7: sat there to see what he could see. The assassins
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 7: tried to climb also, but they slipped and fell. Far
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 7: from giving up the chase, this only spurred them on.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 7: They gathered a bundle of wood, piled it up high
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 7: at the foot of the pine, and set fire to it.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 7: In a twinkling, the tree began to sputter and burn,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 7: like a candle blown by the wind. Pinocchio saw the
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 7: flames climb higher and higher, not wishing to end his
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: days as a roasted marionette, he climbed quickly to the ground,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 7: and off he went, the assassins close to him as
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 7: before dawn was breaking, When, without any warning whatsoever, Pinocchio
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: found his path barred by a deep pool full of
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 7: water the color of muddy coffee. What was there to
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 7: do with a one, two three? He jumped clear across it.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 7: The assassins jumped also, but, not having measured their distance well, splashed.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 7: They fell right into the middle of the pool. Pinocchio,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 7: who heard the splash and felt it too, cried out, laughing,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 7: but never stopping in his race. A pleasant bath to you, signori.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 7: He thought they must surely be drowned, and turned his
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 7: head to sea. But there were the two somber figures
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 7: still following him, though their black sacks were drenched and
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 7: dripping with water. So ends Chapter fourteen of Pinocchio. Chapter fifteen.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 7: The assassins chase Pinocchio, catch him, and hang him to
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 7: the branch of a giant oak tree. As he ran,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 7: the marionette felt more and more certain that he would
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 7: have to give himself up into the hands of his pursuers.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: Suddenly he saw a little cottage gleaming white as the
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 7: snow among the trees of the forest. If I have
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 7: enough breath left with which to reach that little house,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 7: I may be saved, he said to himself. Not waiting
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 7: another moment, he darted swiftly through the woods, the assassins
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 7: still after him. After a hard race of almost an hour,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 7: tired and out of breath, Pinocchio finally reached the door
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 7: of the cottage and knocked. No one answered. He knocked again,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 7: harder than before, for behind him he heard the steps
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 7: and the labored breathing of his persecutors. The same silence followed.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 7: As knocking was of no use. Pinocchio, in despair, began
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 7: to kick and bang against the doors if he wanted
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: to break it. At the noise, a window opened, and
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 7: a lovely maiden looked out. She had asure hair and
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: a face white as wax. Her eyes were closed, and
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 7: her hands crossed upon her breast. With a voice so
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 7: weak it could hardly be heard, she whispered, No one
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 7: lives in this house. Every one is dead. Won't you
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 7: at least open the door for me? Cried Pinocchio in
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 7: a beseeching voice. I am also dead, dead, What are
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 7: you doing at the window? Then I am waiting for
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 7: the coffin to take me away. After these words, the
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 7: little girl disappeared and the window closed without a sound.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: O lovely maiden with azure hair, cried, Pinocchio, open. I
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: beg of you. Take pity on a poor boy who
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 7: is being chased by to us. As he did not finish,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 7: for two powerful hands gripped him by the neck, and
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: the same two horrible voices growled threateningly. Now we have you.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 7: The marionette, seeing death dancing before him, trembled so hard
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 7: that the joints of his legs ran and the coins
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 7: tinkled under his tongue. Well, the assassins asked, will you
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 7: open your mouth now or not? Ah, you do not
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 7: answer very well, This time you shall open it. Taking
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 7: out two long, sharp knives, they struck two heavy blows
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 7: on the Marionette's back, happly for him. Pinocchio was made
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: of very hard wood, and the knives broke into a
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 7: thousand pieces. The assassins looked at each other in dismay,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 7: holding the handles of their knives in their hands. I understand,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 7: said one of them to the other. There is nothing
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: left to do now. But to hang him, to hang him,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 7: repeated the other. They tied Pinocchio's hands behind his shoulders
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 7: and slipped the noose around his neck. Throwing the rope
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 7: over the high limb of a giant oak tree, they
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 7: pulled until the poor marionette hung far up in space.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 7: Satisfied with their work, they sat on the grass waiting
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 7: for Pinocchio to give his last gasp. But after three hours,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 7: the Marionette's eyes were still open, his mouth still shut,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 7: and his legs kicked harder than ever. Tired of waiting,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 7: the assassins called to him mockingly, good bye till tomorrow.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 7: When we return in the morning, we hope you'll be
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 7: polite enough to let us find you dead and gone
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 7: with your mouth wide open. With these words they went.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 7: A few minutes went by, and then a wild wind
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 7: started to blow. As it shrieked and moaned, the poor
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 7: little supperer was blown to and fro like the hammer
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 7: of the bell. The rocking made him seasick, and the noose,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 7: becoming tighter and tighter, choked him. Little by little. A
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 7: film covered his eyes. Death was creeping nearer and nearer,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 7: and the marionette still hoped for some good soul to
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 7: come to his rescue, but no one appeared. As he
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 7: was about to die, he thought of his poor old father, and,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 7: hardly conscious of what he was saying, murmured to himself,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 7: Oh father, dear father, if you were only here, These
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 7: were his last words. He closed his eyes, opened his mouth,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 7: stretched out his legs, and hung there as if he
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 7: were dead. So ends Chapter fifteen of Pinocchio. Chapter sixteen,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 7: the lovely Maiden with azure hair sends for the poor Marionette,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 7: puts him to bed, and calls three doctors to tell
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 7: her if Pinocchio is dead or alive. If the poor
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 7: Marionette had dangled there much longer, all hope would have
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 7: been lost. Luckily for him. The lovely Maiden with azure
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 7: hair once again looked out of her window, filled with
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: pity at the sight of the poor little fellow being
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 7: knocked helplessly about by the wind. She clapped her hands
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: sharply together three times. At the signal. A loud whirr
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 7: of wings in quick flight was heard, and a large
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 7: falcon came and settled itself on the window ledge. What
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 7: do you command, my charming fairy, asked the falcon, bending
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 7: his beak in deep reverence. For it must be known that,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 7: after all, the lovely maiden with azure hair was none
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 7: other than a very kind fairy who had lived for
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 7: more than a thousand years in the vicinity of the forest.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 7: Do you see that marionette hanging from the limb of
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 7: that giant oak tree? I see him very well. Fly
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 7: immediately to him with your strong beak, break the knot
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 7: which holds him tied, take him down, and lay him
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 7: softly on the grass at the foot of the oak.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 7: The falcon flew away, and after two minutes returned, saying,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 7: I have done what you commanded. How did you find
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 7: him alive or dead? At first glance, I thought he
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 7: was dead, But I found I was wrong, for as
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 7: soon as I loosened the knot around his neck, he
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 7: gave a long sigh and mumbled with a faint voice.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 7: Now I feel better. The fairy clapped her hands twice.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 7: A magnificent poodle appeared, walking on his hind legs just
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 7: like a man. He was dressed in court livery. A
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 7: tricorn trimmed with gold lace was set at a rakish
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 7: angle over a wig of white curls that dropped down
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 7: to his waist. He wore a jaunty coat of chocolate
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 7: colored velvet with diamond buttons, and with two huge pockets
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 7: which were always filled with bones dropped there at dinner
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 7: by his loving mistress. Breeches of crimson velvet, silk stockings,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 7: and low silver buckled slippers completed his costume. His tail
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 7: was encased in a blue silk covering, which was to
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 7: protect it from the rain. Come Maduro, said the fairy
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 7: to him, Get my best coach ready, and set out
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 7: toward the forest. On reaching the oak tree, you will
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 7: find a poor, half dead marionette stretched out on the grass.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 7: Lift him up, tenderly, place him on the silken cushions
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 7: of the coach, and bring him here to me. The poodle,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 7: to show that he under stood, wagged his silk covered
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 7: tail two or three times and set off at a
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 7: quick pace. In a few minutes, a lovely little coach,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 7: made of glass, with lining as soft as whipped cream
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 7: and chocolate pudding, and stuffed with canary feathers, pulled out
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 7: of the stable. It was drawn by one hundred pairs
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 7: of white mice, and the poodle sat on the coachman's
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 7: seat and snapped his whip gaily in the air, as
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 7: if he were a real coachman in a hurry to
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 7: get to his destination. In a quarter of an hour,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 7: the coach was back. The fairy, who was waiting at
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 7: the door of the house, lifted the poor little marionette
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 7: in her arms, took him to a dainty room with
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 7: mother of pearl walls, put him to bed, and sent
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 7: immediately for the most famous doctors of the neighborhood to
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 7: come to her. One after another, the doctors came a crow,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 7: an owl, and a talking cricket. I should like to know, signori,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 7: said the fairy, turning to the three doctors gathered about
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 7: Pinocchio's bed, I should like to know if this poor
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 7: marionette is dead or alive. At this invitation, the crow
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 7: stepped out and felt Pinocchio's pulse, his nose, his little toe.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 7: Then he solemnly pronounced the following words. To my mind,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 7: this marionette is dead and gone, But if by any
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 7: evil chance, he were not, then that would be a
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 7: sure sign that he is still alive. I am sorry,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 7: said the owl, to have to contradict the crow, my
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 7: famous friend and colleague. To my mind, this Marionette is alive.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 7: But if, by any evil chance, he were not, then
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 7: that would be a sure sign that he is wholly dead.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 7: And do you hold any opinion, the fairy asked the
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 7: talking cricket. I say that a wise doctor, when he
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 7: does not know what he is talking about, should know
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 7: enough to keep his mouth shut. However, that Marionette is
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 7: not a stranger to me. I have known him a
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 7: long time. Pinocchio, who until then had been very quiet,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 7: shuddered so hard that the bed shook. That Marionette continued,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 7: the talking cricket is a rascal of the worst kind.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 7: Pinocchio opened his eyes and closed them again. He is rude, lazy,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 7: a runaway. Pinocchio hid his face under the sheets. That
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 7: Marionette is a disobedient son who is breaking his father's heart.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 7: Long shuddering sobs were heard, cries and deep sighed. I
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 7: think how surprised every one was when, on raising the
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 7: sheets they discovered Pinocchio half melted in tears. When the
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 7: dead weep, they are beginning to recover, said the crow solemnly.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 7: I am sorry to contradict my famous friend and colleague,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 7: said the owl, But as far as I am concerned.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 7: I think that when the dead weep, it means they
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 7: do not want to die. So ends Chapter sixteen of Pinocchio.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 11: Chapter seventeen, Pinocchio eats sugar but refuses to take metzin.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 11: When the undertakers come for him, he drinks the mets
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 11: in and feels better. Afterwards, he tells a lie, and
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 11: in punishment, his nose grows longer and longer. As soon
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 11: as the three doctors had left the room, the fairy
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 11: went to Pinocchio's bed, and, touching him on the forehead,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 11: noticed that he was burning with fever. She took a
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 11: glass of water, put a white powder into it, and,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 11: handing it to the marionette, said lovingly to him, drink this,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 11: and in a few days you'll be up and well.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 11: Pinocchio looked at the glass, made a wry face and asked,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 11: in a whining voice, is it sweet or bitter? It
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 11: is bitter, but it is good for you. If it
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 11: is bitter, I don't want it. Drink it. I don't
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 11: like anything bitter. Drink it, and I'll give you a
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 11: lump of sugar to take the bitter taste from your mouth.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 11: Where's the sugar?
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 8: Here?
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 11: It is said the fairy taking a lump from a
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 11: golden sugar bowl. I want the sugar first, then i'll
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 11: drink the bitter water. Do you promise yes? The fairy
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 11: gave him the sugar, and Pinocchio, after chewing and swallowing
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 11: it in a twinkling, said, smacking his lips, if only
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 11: sugar were metzin, I should take it every day. Now
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 11: keep your promise and drink these few drops of water.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 5: They'll be good for you.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 11: Pinocchio took the glass in both hands and stuck his
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 11: nose into it. He lifted it to his mouth and
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 11: once more stuck his nose into it. It is too bitter, much,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 11: too bitter. I can't drink it. How do you know
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 11: when you haven't even tasted it. I can imagine it,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 11: I smell it. I want another lump of sugar, then
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 11: I'll drink it. The fairy, with all the patience of
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 11: a good mother, gave him more sugar and again handed
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 11: him the glass. I can't drink it like that, the
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 11: marionette said, making more wry faces. Why because that feather
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 11: pillow on my feet bothers me. The fairy took away
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 11: the pillow. It's no use, I can't drink it even now.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 11: What's the matter now? I don't like the way that
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 11: door looks. It's half open. The fairy closed the door.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 11: I won't drink it, cried Pinocchio, bursting out crying. I
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 11: won't drink this awful water.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 5: I won't.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 11: I won't. No, no, no, no, my boy, you'll be sorry.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 11: I don't care. You are very sick. I don't care.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 11: In a few hours, the fever will take you far
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 11: away to another world. I don't care. Aren't you afraid
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 11: of death?
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 7: Not a bit.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 11: I'd rather die than drink that awful metsin. At that moment,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 11: the door of the room flew open, and in came
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 11: four rabbits as black as ink, carrying a small black
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 11: coffin on their shoulders. What do you want from me,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 11: asked Pinocchio. We have come for you, said the largest rabbit,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 11: for me. But I'm not dead yet. No, not dead yet,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 11: but you will be in a few moments, since you
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 11: have refused to take them metsin, which would have made
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 11: you well, O fairy, my fairy, the marionette cried out,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 11: give me that glass quick, please. I don't want to die. No, no,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 11: not yet, not yet. And holding the glass with his
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 11: two hands, he swallowed the medsin at one gulp. Well,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 11: said the four rabbits, this time we have made the
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 11: trip for nothing, And turning on their heels, they marched
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 11: solemnly out of the room, carrying their little black coffin
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 11: and muttering and grumbling between their teeth. In a twinkling
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 11: Pinocchio felt fine. With one leap, he was out of
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 11: bed and into his clothes. The fairy, seeing him run
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 11: and jump round the room gay as a bird on
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 11: a wing, said to him, My medicin was good for
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 11: you after all, wasn't it.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 11: Indeed, it has given me new life? Why then, did
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 11: I have to beg you so hard to make you
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 11: drink it. I'm a boy, you see, and all boys
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 11: hate medsin more than they do sickness. What a shame
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 11: boys ought to know after all that medzin taking in
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 11: time can save them from much pain and even from death.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 11: Next time I won't have to be begged so hard.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 11: I'll remember those black rabbits with the black coffin on
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 11: their shoulders, and I'll take the glass and pouf down it.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 5: Will go.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 11: Come here now and tell me how it came about
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 11: that you found yourself in the hands of the assassins.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 11: It happened that fire Eater gave me five gold pieces
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 11: to give to my father. But on the way I
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 11: met a fox and a cat who asked me, do
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 11: you want the five pieces to become two thousand? And
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 11: I said yes, And they said, come with us to
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 11: the Field of Wonders, and I said, let's go. Then
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 11: they said, let us stop at the inn of the
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 11: Red Lobster for dinner, and after midnight we'll set out again.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 11: We ate and went to sleep. When I awoke, they
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 11: were gone, and I started out in the darkness all alone.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 11: On the road, I met two assassins dressed in black
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 11: coald sacks, who said to me your money or your life,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 11: and I said, I haven't any money for you. See,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 11: I've put my money under my tongue. One of them
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 11: tried to put his hand in my mouth, and I
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 11: bit it off and spat it out. But it wasn't
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 11: a hand, it was a cat paw. And they ran
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 11: after me, and I ran and ran till at last
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 11: they caught me and tied my neck with a rope
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 11: and hanged me to a tree, saying tomorrow we'll come
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 11: back for you, and you'll be dead, and your mouse
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 11: will be open, and then we'll take the gold pieces
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 11: that you have hidden under your tongue. Where are the
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 11: gold pieces now, the fairy asked, I lost them, answered Pinocchio.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 11: But he told a lie, for he had them in
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 11: his pocket. As he spoke, his nose long though it was,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 11: became at least two inches longer. And where did you
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 11: lose them? In the wood near by? At this second lie,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 11: his nose grew a few more inches. If you lost
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 11: them in the nearby wood, said the fairy, we'll look
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 11: for them and find them. For everything that is lost
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 11: there is always found. Ah, now I remember, replied the marionette,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 11: becoming more and more confused. I did not lose the
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 11: gold pieces, but I swallowed them when I drank the medzin.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 11: At this third lie, his nose became longer than ever,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 11: so long that he could not even turn round. If
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 11: he turned to the right, he knocked it against the
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 11: bed or into the window panes. If he turned to
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 11: the left, he struck the walls or the door. If
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 11: he raised it a bit, he almost put the fairy's
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 11: eyes out.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 5: The fairy sat.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 11: Looking at him and laughing, why do you laugh, the
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 11: marionette asked her, worried now at the sight of his
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 11: growing nose, I am laughing at your lies. How do
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 11: you know I'm lying? Lies, my boy, are known in
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 11: a moment. There are two kinds of lies, lies with
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 11: short legs and lies with long noses. Yours just now
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 11: happened to have long noses. Pinocchio, not knowing where to
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 11: hide his shame, tried to escape from the room, but
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 11: his nose had become so long that he could not
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 11: get it out of the door. End of chapter seventeen.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 12: Chapter eighteen, Pinocchio finds the fox and the cat again
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 12: and goes with them to sow the gold pieces in
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 12: the field of wonders. Crying as if his heart would break,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 12: the marionette mourned for hours over the length of his nose.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 12: No matter how he tried, it would not go through
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 12: the door. The fairy showed no pity toward him, as
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 12: she was trying to teach him a good lesson so
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 12: that he would stop telling lies, the worst habit any
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 12: boy may acquire. But when she saw him pale with
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 12: fright and with his eyes half out of his head
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 12: from terror, she began to feel sorry for him, and
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 12: clapped her hands together. A thousand woodpeckers flew in through
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 12: the window and settled themselves on Pinocchio's nose. They pecked
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 12: and pecked so hard at that enormous nose that in
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 12: a few moments it was the same size as before.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 12: How good you are, my fairy, said Pinocchio, drying his eyes.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 12: And how much I love you. I love you, too,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 12: answered the fairy. And if you wish to stay with me,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 12: you may be my little brother, and I'll be your
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 12: good little sister. I should like to stay, But what
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 12: about my poor father. I have thought of everything your
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 12: father has been sent for, and before night he will
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 12: be here, really, cried Pinocchio joyfully. Then, my good fairy,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 12: if you are willing, I should like to go to
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 12: meet him. I cannot wait to kiss that dear old
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 12: man who has suffered so much for my sake. Surely
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 12: go ahead, but be careful not to lose your way.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 12: Take the wood path and you'll surely meet him. Pinocchio
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 12: set out, and as soon as he found himself in
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 12: the wood, he ran like a hare. When he reached
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 12: the giant oak tree, he stopped, for he thought he
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 12: heard a rustle in the brush. He was right. There
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 12: stood the fox and the cat, the two traveling companions
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 12: with whom he had eaten at the inn of the
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 12: Red Lobster. Here comes our dear Pinocchio, cried the fox,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 12: hugging and kissing him. How did you happen here? How
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 12: did you happen here? Repeated the cat. It is a
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 12: long story, said the marionette. Let me tell it to you.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 12: The other night, when you left me alone at the inn,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 12: I met the assassins on the road. The assassins, oh,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 12: my poor friend, And what did they want? They wanted
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 12: my gold pieces. Rascals, said the fox. The worst sort
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 12: of rascals, added the cat. But I began to run,
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 12: continued the marionette, And they after me until they overtook
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 12: me and hanged me to the limb of that oak.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 12: Pinocchio pointed to the giant oak near by. Could anything
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 12: be worse? Said the fox? What an awful world to
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 12: live in. Where shall we find a safe place for
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 12: gentlemen like ourselves? As the fox talked thus, Pinocchio noticed
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 12: that the cat carried his right paw in a sling.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 12: What happened to your paw, he asked. The cat tried
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 12: to answer, but he became so terribly twisted in his
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 12: speech that the fox had to help him out. My
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 12: friend is too modest to answer. I'll answer for him.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 12: About an hour ago we met an old wolf on
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 12: the road. He was half starved and begged for help,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 12: having nothing to give him. What do you think my
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 12: friend did? Out of the kindness of his heart. With
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 12: his teeth, he bit off the paw of his front
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 12: foot and threw it at that poor beast, so that
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 12: he might have something to eat. As he spoke, the
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 12: fox wiped off a tear. Pinocchio, almost in tears himself,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 12: whispered in the cat's ear. If all the cats were
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 12: like you, how lucky the mice would be. And what
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 12: are you doing here, the fox asked the marionette. I
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 12: am waiting for my father, who will be here at
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 12: any moment now. And your gold pieces. I still have
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 12: them in my pocket, except one which I spent at
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 12: the inn of the red lobster. To think that those
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 12: four gold pieces might become two thousand tomorrow, Why don't
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 12: you listen to me, Why don't you sow them in
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 12: the field of.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 13: To day?
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 12: It is impossible. I'll go with you some other time.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 12: Another day will be too late, said the fox. Why
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 12: because the field has been bought by a very rich man,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 12: and to day is the last day that it will
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 12: be open to the public. How far is this field
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 12: of wonders? Only two miles away? Will you come with us?
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 12: We'll be there in half an hour. You can sew
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 12: the money, and after a few minutes you will gather
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 12: your two thousand coins and return home. Rich are you coming?
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 12: Pinocchio hesitated a moment before answering, for he remembered the
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 12: good fairy Old Geppetto and the advice of the talking cricket.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 12: Then he ended by doing what all boys do when
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 12: they have no heart and little brain. He shrugged his
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 12: shoulders and said to the fox and the cat, let
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 12: us go. I am with you. And they went. They
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 12: walked and walked for half a day at least, and
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 12: at last they came to the town called the City
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 12: of Simple Simons. As soon as they entered the town,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 12: Pinocchio noticed that all the streets were filled with hairless
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 12: dogs yawning from hunger, with sheared sheep trembling with cold,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 12: with combless chickens, begging for a grain of wheat, with
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 12: large butterflies unable to use their wings because they had
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 12: sold all their lovely colors, with tailless peacocks ashamed to
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 12: show themselves, and with bedraggled pheasants scuttling away hurriedly grieving
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 12: for their bright feathers of gold and silver lost to
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 12: them forever. Through this crowd of paupers and beggars, a
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 12: beautiful coach passed now and again. Within it sat either
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 12: a fox, a hawk, or a vulture. Where is the
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 12: field of wonders? Asked Pinocchio, growing tired of waiting, be patient.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 12: It is only a few more steps away. They passed
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 12: through the city, and just outside the walls, they stepped
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 12: into a lonely field which looked more or less like
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 12: any other field. Here we are, said the fox to
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 12: the marionette. Dig a hole here and put the gold
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 12: pieces into it. The marionette obeyed. He dug the hole,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 12: put the four gold pieces into it, and covered them up.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 12: Very carefully. Now, said the fox, go to that near
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 12: by brook, bring back a pail full of water, and
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 12: sprinkle it over the spot. Pinocchio followed the directions closely,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 12: but as he had no pail. He pulled off his shoe,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 12: filled it with water, and sprinkled the earth which covered
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 12: the gold. Then he asked anything else, Nothing else, answered
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 12: the fox. Now we can go return here within twenty minutes,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 12: and you will find the vine groan and the branches
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 12: filled with gold pie. Pinocchio, beside himself with joy, thanked
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 12: the fox and the cat many times and promised them
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 12: each a beautiful gift. We don't want any of your gifts,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 12: answered the two rogues. It is enough for us that
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 12: we have helped you to become rich with little or
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 12: no trouble. For this we are as happy as kings.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 12: They said goodbye to Pinocchio, and wishing him good luck,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 12: went on their way. End of chapter eighteen.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 14: Chapter nineteen, Pinocchio is rabbed of his gold pieces and
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 14: punishment is sentence to four months in prison. If the
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 14: marionette had been told to wait a day instead of
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 14: twenty minutes, the time could not have seemed longer to him.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 14: He walked impatiently to and fro and finally turned his
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 14: nose toward the field of wonders. As he walked with
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 14: hurried steps, his heart beat with an excited tick tack,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 14: just as if it were a wall clock, and his
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 14: busy brain kept thinking, what if instead of a thousand,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 14: I should find two thousand, or instead of two thousand,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 14: I should find five thousand or one hundred thousand. I'll
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 14: build myself a beautiful palace with a thousand stables filled
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 14: with thousand wooden horses to play with, a cellar overflowing
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 14: with lemonade and ice cream soda, and a library of
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 14: candies and fruits and cakes and cookies. Thus amusing himself
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 14: with fancies, he came to the field. There he stopped
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 14: to see if, by chance a vine filled with gold
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 14: coins was in sight. But he saw nothing. He took
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 14: a few steps forward, and still nothing. He stepped onto
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 14: the field. He went up to the place where he
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 14: had dug the hole and buried the gold pieces. Again nothing.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 14: Pinocchiov became very thoughtful, and forgetting his good manners altogether.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 14: He pulled a hand out of his pocket and gave
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 14: his head a thorough scratching. As he did so, he
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 14: heard a hearty burst of laughter close to his head.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 14: He turned sharply, and there just above him, on the
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 14: branch of a tree, sat a large parrot busily preening
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 14: his feathers. What are you laughing at? Pinocchio asked feevishly.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 14: I'm laughing because in bringing my feathers I tickled myself
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 14: under the wings. The marionette did not answer. He walked
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 14: to the brook, filled his shoe with water, and once
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 14: more sprinkled the ground, which covered the gold pieces. Again,
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 14: another burst of laughter, even more impertinent than the first,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 14: was heard in a quiet field. Well, cried the marionette
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 14: angrily this time. May I know, mister parrot, what amuses
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 14: you so? I'm laughing at those simpletons who believe everything
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 14: they hear, and who allow themselves to be caught so
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 14: easily in the trap set for them. Do you perhaps
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 14: mean me? I certainly do mean you, poor Pinocchio. You
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 14: are such a little silly as to believe that gold
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 14: can be sown in a field just like beans and squash.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 14: I do believe that once, and today I'm very sorry
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 14: for it. Today, but too late I have reached the
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 14: conclusion that in order to come by money honestly, one
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 14: must work and know how to with hand or brain.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 14: I don't know what you're talking about, said the marionette,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 14: was beginning to tremble with fear.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 7: Too bad.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 14: I'll explain myself better, said the parrot. While you were
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 14: away in the city, the fox and the cat returned
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 14: here in a great hurry. They took the four gold
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 14: pieces which you had buried, and ran away as fast
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 14: as the wind. If you can catch them, you're a
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 14: brave one. Pinocchio's mouth opened wide. He would not believe
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 14: the parrot's words, and began to dig furiously at the earth.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 14: He dug, and he dug it till the hole was
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 14: as big as himself, but no money was there. Every
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 14: penny was gone. In desperation, he ran to the city
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 14: and went straight to the courthouse to report the robbery
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 14: to the magistrate. The judge was a monkey, a large gorilla,
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 14: venerable with age. A flowing white beard covered his chest,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 14: and he wore gold rimmed spectacles from which the glasses
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 14: had dropped out. The reason for wearing these, he said,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 14: was that his eyes had been weakened by the work
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 14: of many years. Pinocchio, standing before him, told his pitiful
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 14: tale word by word. He gave the names and descriptions
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 14: of the robbers, and baked for justice. The judge listened
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 14: to him with great patience, A kind look shone in
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 14: his eyes. He became very much interested in stray. He
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 14: felt moved. He almost wept. When the marionette had no
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 14: more to say, the judge put out his hand and
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 14: rang a bell. The sound two large mastiffs appeared, were
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 14: in Carboneer's uniforms. Then the magistrate, pointing to Pinocchio, said,
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 14: in a solemn voice, this poor simpleton has been robbed
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 14: of four gold pieces. Take him therefore, and throw him
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 14: in prison. The marionette, on hearing this sentence passed on him,
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 14: was thoroughly stunned. He tried to protest, but the two
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 14: officers clapped their paws on his mouth and tuzzled him
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 14: away to jail. There he had to remain four long,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 14: weary months, and if it not been for a very
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 14: lucky chance, he probably would have to stay there longer.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 14: For my dear children, is you must know that it
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 14: happened just as the young emperor who ruled over the
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 14: city of simple simons and gained to victory over his enemy.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 14: In celebration thereof, he ordered illuminations, fireworks shows of all kinds,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 14: and best of all, the opening of all prison doors.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 14: If the others go, I go too, said Pinocchio to
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 14: the jailer. And not you, answered the jailer. You are
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 14: one of those. I beg your pardon, then interrupted Pinocchio,
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 14: I do amy thief. In that case, you are free
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 14: to go, said the jailer. Taking off his cap, he
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 14: bowed low. He opened the door the prison, and Pinocchio
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 14: ran out and away, with never a look backward. End
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 14: of chapter nineteen.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 15: Chapter twenty. Freed from prison, Pinocchio sets out to return
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 15: to the ferry, but on the way he meets a
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 15: serpent and later is caught in a trap. Fancy the
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 15: happiness of Pinocchio on finding himself free. Without saying yes
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 15: or no, he fled from the city and set out
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 15: on the road that was to take him back to
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 15: the house of the lovely Fairy. It had rained for
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 15: many days, and the road was so muddy that at
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 15: times Pinocchio sank down almost to his knees, but he
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 15: kept on bravely, tormented by the wish to see his
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 15: father and his fairy sister. With ozar hair, he raised
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 15: like a gray he. As he ran, he was splashed
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 15: with mud even up to his cap. How unhappy I
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 15: have been, he said, to himself, and yet I deserve everything,
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 15: for I am certainly very stubborn and stupid. I will
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 15: always have my own way. I won't listen to those
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 15: who love me and who have more brains than I.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 15: But from now on I'll be different, and I'll try
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 15: to become a most obedient boy. I have found out,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 15: beyond any doubt whatsoever, that disobedient boys are certainly far
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 15: from happy, and that in the long run they always
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 15: lose out. I wonder if Father is waiting for me.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 15: Will I find him at the Fairy's house? It is
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 15: so long, poor man, since I have seen him, and
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 15: I do so want his love and his kisses. And
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 15: will the Fairy ever forgive me for all I have done?
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 15: She who has been so good to me, and to
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 15: whom I owe my life? Can there be a worse
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 15: or more heartless boy than I am? Anywhere As he spoke,
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 15: he stopped, suddenly frozen with terror. What was the matter?
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 15: An immense serpent lay stretched across the road, A serpent
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 15: with bright green skin, fiery eyes which glowed and burned,
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 15: and a pointed tail that smoked like a chimney. How
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 15: frightened was poor Pinocchio? He ran back wildly for half
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 15: a mile, and at last settled himself atop a heap
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 15: of stones to wait for the serpent to go on
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 15: his way and leave the road clear for him. He
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 15: waited an hour, two hours, three hours, but the serpent
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 15: was always there, and even from afar one could see
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 15: the flash of his red eyes and the column of
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 15: smoke which rose from his long pointed tail. Pinocchio, trying
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 15: to feel very brave, walked straight up to him and said,
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 15: in a sweet, soothing voice, I beg your pardon, mister serpent,
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 15: which you be so kind as to step aside to
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 15: let me pass? He might as well have talked to
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 15: a wall. The serpent never moved once more. In the
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 15: same sweet voice, he spoke, you must know, mister serpent,
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 15: that I am going home, where my father is waiting
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 15: for me. It is so long since I have seen him.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 15: Would you mind very much if I passed? He waited
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 15: for some sign of an answer to his questions, but
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 15: the answer did not come. On the contrary, the green serpent,
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 15: who had seemed until then wide awake and full of life,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 15: became suddenly very quiet and still, his eyes closed, and
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 15: his tail stopped smoking. Is he dead, I wonder, said Pinocchio,
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 15: rubbing his hands together happily, without a moment's hesitation. He
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 15: started to step over him. But he had just raised
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 15: one leg when the serpent shot up like a spring,
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 15: and the marionette fell head over heels backward. He fell
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 15: so awkwardly that his head stuck in the mud, and
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 15: there he stood, with his legs straight up in the air,
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 15: at the side of the marionette, kicking and squirming like
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 15: a young whirlwind. The serpent laughed so heartily and so
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 15: long that at last he burst an artery and died
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 15: on the spot. Pinocchio freed himself from his awkward position
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 15: and once more began to run in order to reach
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 15: the fairy's house before dark. As he went, the pangs
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 15: of hunger grew so strong that, unable to withstand them,
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 15: he jumped into a field to pick a few grapes.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 15: It tempted him. Woe to him. No sooner had he
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 15: reached the grapevine than crack went his legs. The poor
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 15: marionette was caught in a trap set there by a
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 15: farmer for some weasels which came every night to steal
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 15: his chickens. End of chapter twenty.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 16: Chapter twenty one, Pinocchio was caught by a farmer who
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 16: uses him as a watch dog for his chicken coop. Pinocchio,
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 16: as you may well imagine, began to scream and weep
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 16: and beg, but all was of no use, for no
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 16: houses were to be seen, and not a soul passed
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 16: by on the road. Night came on A little because
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 16: of the sharp pain in his legs, a little because
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 16: of fright at finding himself alone in the darkness of
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 16: the field. The marionette was about to faint when he
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 16: saw a tiny glow worm flickering by. He called to
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 16: her and said, dear little glowworm, will you set me free?
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 16: Poor little fellow, replied the glow worm, stopping to look
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 16: at him with pity. How came you to be caught
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 16: in this trap? I stepped into this lonely field to
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 16: take a few grapes, And are the grapes yours? No?
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 16: Who has taught you to take things that do not
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 16: belong to you? I was hungry. Hunger, my boy, is
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 16: no reason for taking something which belongs to another. It's true,
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 16: It's true, cried Pinocchio in tears. I won't do it again.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 16: Just then the conversation was interrupted by approaching footsteps. It
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 16: was the owner of the field who was coming on
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 16: tiptoes to see if, by chance he had caught the
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 16: weasels which had been eating his chickens. Great was his
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 16: surprise when holding up his lantern he saw that instead
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 16: of a weasel, he had caught a boy. Ah, you
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 16: little thief, said the farmer in an angry voice. So
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 16: you are the one who steals my chickens. Not I, no, no,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 16: cried Pinocchio, sobbing bitterly. I came here only to take
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 16: a very few grapes. He who steals grapes may very
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 16: easily steal chickens. Also, take my word for it. I'll
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 16: give you a lesson that you'll remember for a long while.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 16: He opened the trap, grabbed the marionette by the collar,
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 16: and carried him to the house as if he were
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 16: a puppy. When he reached the yard in front of
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 16: the house, he flung him to the ground, put a
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 16: foot on his neck, and said to him roughly, it
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 16: is late now, and it's time for bed tomorrow. Will
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 16: settle matters in the meantime. Since my watch dog died
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 16: to day, you may take his place and guard my
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 16: hen house. No sooner said than done. He slipped the
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 16: dog collar around Pinocchio's neck and tightened it so that
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 16: it would not come off. A long iron chain was
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 16: tied to the collar. The other end of the chain
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 16: was nailed to the wall. If to night it should
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 16: happen to rain, said the farmer, you can sleep in
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 16: that little dog house near by, where you will find
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 16: plenty of straw for a soft bed. It has been
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 16: Malampo's bed for three years, and it will be good
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 16: enough for you. And if by any chance any thieves
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 16: should come, be sure to bark. After this last morning,
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 16: the farmer went into the house and closed the door
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 16: and barred it. Poor Pinocchio huddled close to the dog house,
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 16: more dead than alive from cold, hunger, and fright now
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 16: and again he pulled and tugged at the collar, which
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 16: nearly choked him, and cried out in a weak voice,
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 16: I deserve it, Yes, I deserve it. I have been
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 16: nothing but a truant and a vagabond. I have never
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 16: obeyed any one, and I have always done as I pleased.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 16: If I were only like so many others, and had
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 16: studied and worked and stayed with my poor old father.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 16: I should not find myself here now, in this field
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 16: and in the darkness, taking the place of a farmer's watchdog.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 16: Oh if I could start all over again. But what
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 16: is done can't be undone, and I must be patient.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 16: After this little sermon to himself, which came from the
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 16: very depths of his heart, Pinocchio went into the dog
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 16: house and fell asleep. End of chapter twenty one.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 10: Chapter twenty two, Pinocchio discovers the thieves, and as a
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 10: reward for faithfulness, he regains his liberty. Even though a
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 10: boy may be very unhappy, he very seldom loses sleep
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 10: over his worries. The Marionette, being no exception to this rule,
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 10: slept on peacefully for a few hours till well along
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 10: toward midnight, when he was awakened by strange whisperings and
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 10: stealthy sounds coming from the yard. He stuck his nose
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 10: out of the dog house and saw four slender, hairy animals.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 10: They were weasels, small animals, very fond of both eggs
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 10: and chickens. One of them left her companions, and, going
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 10: to the door of the dog house, said in the
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 10: sweet voice, good evening, m Lampo. My name is not Malampo,
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 10: answered Pinocchio. Who are you then? I am Pinocchio?
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: What are you doing here?
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 10: I'm the watch dog? But where is Malampo? Where is
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 10: the old dog who used to live in this house?
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 10: He died this morning, died, poor beast. He was so
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 10: good still, judging by your face, I think you too
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 10: are a good natured dog. I beg your pardon. I
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 10: am not a dog. What are you then? I am
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 10: a marionette? Are you taking the place of the watch dog?
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 10: I'm sorry to say that I am. I'm being punished. Well,
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 10: I shall make the same terms with you that we
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 10: had with the dead Malampo. I'm sure you will be
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 10: glad to hear them. And what are the terms? This
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 10: is our plan. Will come once in a while, as
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 10: in the past, to pay a visit to this hen house,
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 10: and we'll take away eight chickens. Of these, seven are
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 10: for us and one for you, provided of course, that
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 10: you will make believe you are sleeping and will not
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 10: bark for the farmer. Did Malampo really do that, asked Pinocchio.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 10: Indeed he did, and because of that we were the
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 10: best of friends. Sleep away peacefully, and remember that before
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 10: we go, we shall leave you a nice fat chicken
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 10: all ready for your breakfast in the morning. Is that
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 10: understood even too well? Answered Pinocchio, and shaking his head
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 10: in a threatening manner, he seemed to say, we'll talk
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 10: this over in a few minutes, my friends. As soon
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 10: as the four weasels had talked things over, they went
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 10: straight to the chicken coop, which stood close to the
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 10: dog house. Digging busily with teeth and claws, they opened
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 10: the little door and slipped it. But they were no
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 10: sooner in than they heard the door close with a
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 10: sharp bay. The one who had done the trick was Pinocchio, who,
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 10: not satisfied with that, dragged a heavy stone in front
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 10: of it. That done, he started to bark, and he
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 10: barked as if he were a real watchdog. Bow wow, Wow,
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 10: bow wow. The farmer heard the loud barks and jumped
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 10: out of bed, taking his gun. He leaped to the
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 10: window and shouted, what's the matter? The thieves are here,
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 10: answered Pinocchio, Where are they in the chicken coop? I'll
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 10: come down in the second, And in fact he was
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 10: down in the yard in a twinkling and running toward
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 10: the chicken coop. He opened the door, pulled out the
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 10: weasels one by one, and after tying them in a bag,
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 10: said to them in a happy voice, you're in my
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 10: hands at last. I could punish you now, but I'll wait.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 10: In the morning. You may come with me to the inn,
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 10: and there you'll make a fine dinner for some hungry mortal.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 10: It is really too great an honor for you, one
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 10: you do not deserve. But as you see, I am
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 10: really a very kind and generous man, and I am
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 10: going to do this for you. Then he went up
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 10: to Pinocchio and began to pet and dress him. How
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 10: did you ever find them out so quickly? And to
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 10: think that Malampo, my faithful Malampo, never saw them in
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 10: all these years. The marionette could have told then and
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 10: there all he knew about the shameful contract between the
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 10: dog and the weasels. But thinking of the dead dog,
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 10: he said to himself, Malampo is dead. What is the
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 10: use of accusing him? The dead are gone, and they
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 10: cannot defend themselves. The best thing to do is to
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 10: leave them in peace. Were you awake or asleep when
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 10: they came? And continued the farmer I was asleep, answered Pinocchio,
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 10: But they awakened me with their whisperings. One of them
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 10: even came to the door of the dog house and
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 10: said to me, if you promise not to bark, we
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 10: will make you a present of one of the chickens
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 10: for your breakfast. Did you hear that they have the
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 10: audacity to make such a proposition as that to me?
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 10: For you must know that though I am a very
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 10: wicked marionette full of faults, still I never have been,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 10: nor ever shall be bribed. Fine boy, cried the farmer,
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 10: slapping him on the shoulder in a friendly way. You
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 10: ought to be proud of yourself, and to show you
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 10: what I think of you. You are free from this
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 10: instant and he slipped the dog collar from his neck.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 10: End of chapter twenty two.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 17: Chapter twenty three, Pinocchio weeps upon learning that the lovely
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 17: maiden with azure hair is dead. He meets a pigeon
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 17: who carries him to the sea shore. He throws himself
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 17: into the sea to go to the aid of his father.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 17: As soon as Pinocchio no longer felt the shameful weight
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 17: of the dog collar around his neck, he started to
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 17: run across the fields and meadows, and never stopped till
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 17: he came to the main road that was to take
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 17: him to the fairy's house. When he reached it, he
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 17: looked into the valley far below him, and there he
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 17: saw the wood where unluckily he had met the fox
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 17: and the cat, and the tall oak tree where he
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 17: had been hanged. And though he searched far and near,
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 17: he could not see the house where the fairy with
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 17: was the azure hare lived. He became terribly frightened, and
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 17: running as fast as he could, he finally came to
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 17: the spot where it had once stood. The little house
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 17: was no longer. There in its place lay a small
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 17: marble slab which bore this sad inscription. Here lies the
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 17: lovely fairy with azure hair, who died of grief when
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 17: abandoned by her little brother Pinocchio. The poor marionette was
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 17: heartbroken at reading these words. He fell to the ground, and,
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 17: covering the cold marble with kisses, burst into bitter tears.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 17: He cried all night, and dawn found him still there,
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 17: though his tears had dried, and only hard, dry sobs
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 17: shook his wooden frame. But these were so loud that
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 17: they could be heard by the far away hills. As
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 17: he s sobbed, he said to himself, Oh my fairy,
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 17: My dear dear fairy, why did you die? Why did
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 17: I not die? Who am so bad instead of you?
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 17: Who are so good? And my father where can he be? Please,
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 17: dear fairy, tell me where he is and I shall
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 17: never never leave him again. You are not really dead,
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 17: are you. If you love me, you will come back
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 17: alive as before. Don't you feel sorry for me? I'm
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 17: so lonely. If the two assassins come, they'll hang me
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 17: again from the giant oak tree and I will really
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 17: die this time. What shall I do alone in the
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 17: world now that you are dead and my father is lost?
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 17: Where shall I eat? Where shall I sleep? Who will
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 17: make my new clothes? Oh? I want to die, Yes,
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 17: I want to die.
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: Oh oh oh.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 17: Poor Pinocchio. He even tried to tear his hair, but
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 17: as it was only painted on his wooden head, he
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 17: could not even pull it. Just then, a large pigeon
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 17: flew far above him. Seeing the marionette, he cried to him,
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 17: Tell me, little boy, what are you doing down there?
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 17: Can't you see I'm crying? Cried Pinocchio, lifting his head
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 17: toward the voice and rubbing his eyes with his sleeve.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 17: Tell me, asked the pigeon. Do you by chance know
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 17: of a marionette Pinocchio? By name Pinocchio? Did you say? Pinocchio?
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 17: Replied the marionette, jumping to his feet, Why I am Pinocchio.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 17: At this answer, the pigeon flew swiftly down to the earth.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 17: He was much larger than a turkey. Then you know
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 17: Geppetto also? Do I know him? He's my father, my
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 17: poor dear father. Has he perhaps spoken to you of me?
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 17: Will you take me to him? Is he still alive?
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 17: Answer me? Please? Is he still alive? I left him
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 17: three days ago on the shore of a large sea.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 17: What was he doing? He was building a little boat
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 17: with which to cross the ocean. For the last four months,
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 17: that poor man has been wandering around Europe looking for you,
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 17: not having found you yet, he has made up his
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 17: mind to look for you in the New World, far
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 17: across the ocean. How far is it from here to
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 17: the shore, asked Pinocchio anxiously, more than fifty miles. Fifty miles, Oh,
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 17: dear pigeon, how I wish I had your wings? If
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 17: you want to come, I'll take you with me. How
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 17: astride my back? Are you very heavy? Heavy? Not at all,
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 17: I'm only a feather, very well well, saying nothing more,
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 17: Pinocchio jumped on the pigeon's back, and as he settled himself,
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 17: he cried out, gaily, gallopon, gallop on, my pretty steed.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 17: I am in a great hurry. The pigeon flew away,
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 17: and in a few minutes he had reached the clouds.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 17: The marionette looked to see what was below him. His
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 17: head swam, and he was so frightened that he clutched
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 17: wildly at the pigeon's neck to keep himself from falling.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 17: They flew all day. Toward evening, the pigeon said, I'm
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 17: very thirsty, and I'm very hungry, said Pinocchio. Let us
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 17: stop a few minutes at that pigeon coop down there,
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 17: then we can go on and be at the sea
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 17: shore in the morning. They went into the empty coop,
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 17: and there they found nothing but a bowl of water
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 17: and a small basket filled with chickpeas. The marionette had
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 17: always hated chickpeas, according to him, they had always made
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 17: him sick, but that night he ate them with a relish.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 17: As he finished them, he turned to the pigeon and said,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 17: I never should have thought that chickpeas could be so good.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 17: You must remember, my boy, answered the pigeon that hunger
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 17: is the best sauce. After resting a few minutes longer,
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 17: they set out again. The next morning they were at
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 17: the sea shore. Pinocchio jumped off the pigeon's back, and
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 17: the pigeon, not wanting any thanks for a kind deed,
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 17: flew away swiftly and disappeared. The shore was full of
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 17: people shrieking and tearing their hair as they looked toward
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 17: the sea. What has happened, asked Pinocchio of a little
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 17: old woman. A poor old father lost his only son
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 17: some time ago, and today he built a tiny boat
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 17: for himself in order to go in in search of
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 17: him across the ocean. The water is very rough, and
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 17: we are afraid he will be drowned. Where is the
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 17: little boat?
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 8: There?
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 17: Straight down there, answered the little old woman, pointing to
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 17: a tiny shadow, no bigger than a nutshell, floating on
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 17: the sea. Pinocchio looked closely for a few minutes, and
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 17: then gave a sharp cry. It's my father, it's my father. Meanwhile,
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 17: the little boat, tossed about by the hungry waters, appeared
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 17: and disappeared in the waves, and Pinocchio, standing on a
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 17: high rock, tired out with searching, waved to him with
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 17: hand and cap, and even with his nose. It looked
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 17: as if Geppetto, though far away from the shore, recognized
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 17: his son, for he took off his cap and waved also.
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 17: He seemed to be trying to make everyone understand that
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 17: he would come back if he were able, but the
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 17: sea was so heavy that he could do nothing with
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 17: his oars. Suddenly, a huge wave came and the boat disappeared.
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 17: They waited and waited for it, but it was gone,
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 17: poor man, said the fisherfolk on the shore, whispering a
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 17: prayer as they turned to go home. Just then a
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 17: desperate cry was heard. Turning around, the fisherfolk saw Pinocchio
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 17: dive into the sea and heard him cry out, I'll
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 17: save him, I'll save my father. The marionette, being made
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 17: of wood, floated easily along and swam like a fish
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 17: in the rough water. Now and again he disappeared, only
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 17: to reappear once more in a twinkling. He was far
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 17: away from land at last, he was completely lost to view.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 17: Poor boy cried the fisherfolk on the shore, and again
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 17: they mumbled a few prayers as they returned home. End
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 17: of chapter twenty three.
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 18: Chapter twenty four, Pinocchio reaches the island of the Busy
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 18: Bees and finds the fairy once more. Pinocchio, spurred on
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 18: by the hope of finding his father and of being
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 18: in time to save him, swam all night long. And
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 18: what a horrible night it was. It poured rain, it hailed,
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 18: it thundered, and the lightning was so bright that it
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 18: turned the night into day. At dawn, he saw not
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 18: far away from him a long stretch of sand. It
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 18: was an island in the middle of the sea. Pinocchio
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 18: tried his best to get there, but he couldn't. The
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 18: waves played with him and tossed him about as if
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 18: he were a twig or a bit of straw. At last,
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 18: and luckily for him, a tremendous wave tossed him to
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 18: the very spot where he wanted to be. The blow
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 18: from the wave was so strong that as he fell
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 18: to the ground, his joints cracked and almost broke. But
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 18: nothing daunted. He jumped to his feet and cried once more,
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 18: I have escaped with my life. Little by little, the
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 18: sky cleared, the sun came out in full splendor, and
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 18: the sea became as calm as a lake. Then the
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 18: marionette took off his clothes and laid them on the
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 18: sand to dry. He looked over the waters to see
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 18: whether he might catch sight of a boat with a
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 18: little man in it. He searched, and he searched, but
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 18: he saw nothing except sea and sky, and far away
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 18: a few sails so small that they might have been birds.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 18: If only I knew the name of this island, he
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 18: said to himself, if I even knew what kind of
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 18: people I would find here? But whom shall I ask?
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 18: There is no one here. The idea of finding himself
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 18: in so lonesome a spot made him so sad that
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 18: he was about to cry. But just then he saw
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 18: a big fish swimming near by, with his head far
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 18: out of the water. Not knowing what to call him,
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 18: the marionette said to him, Hey, there, mister fish, May
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 18: I have a word with you? Even do if you want?
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 18: Answered the fish, who happened to be a very polite dolphin.
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 18: Will you please tell me if on this island there
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 18: are places where one may eat without necessarily being eaten.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 18: Surely there are, answered the dolphin. In fact, you will
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 18: find one not far from this spot. And how shall
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 18: I get there? Take that path on your left and
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 18: follow your nose. You can't go wrong. Tell me another thing, You,
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 18: who traveled day and night through the sea, did you
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 18: not perhaps meet a little boat with my father in it?
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 18: And who is your father? He is the best father
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 18: in the world, even as I am the worst son
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 18: that can be found In the storm of last night,
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 18: answered the dolphin. The little boat must have been swamped,
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 18: and my father by this time he must have been
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 18: swallowed by the terrible shark, which, for the last few
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 18: days has been bringing terror to these waters. Is this
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 18: shark very big? Asked Pinocchio, who was beginning to tremble
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 18: with fright. Is he big, replied the dolphin. Just to
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 18: give you an idea of his size, let me tell
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 18: you that he is larger than a five story building,
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 18: and that he has a mouth so big, so deep,
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 18: that a whole train and engine could easily get into it.
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 18: Mother mine, cried the marionette, scared to death, and dressed
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 18: himself as fast as he could. He turned to the dolphin,
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 18: and said, farewell, mister fish, pardon the bother, and many
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 18: thanks for your kindnesses. This said. He took the path
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 18: at so swift a gait that he seemed to fly,
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 18: and at every small sound he heard, he turned in
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 18: fear to see whether the terrible shark, five stories high
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 18: and with a train in his mouth, was following him.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 18: After walking a half hour, he came to a small
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 18: country called the Land of the Busy Bees. The streets
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 18: were filled with people running to and fro about their tasks.
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 18: Everyone worked, every one had something to do. Even if
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 18: one were to search with a lantern, not one idle
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 18: man or one tramp could have been found. I understand,
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 18: said Pinocchio at once, wearily. This is no place for me.
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 18: I was not born for work. But in the meantime
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 18: he began to feel hungry, for it was twenty four
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 18: hours since he had eaten. What was to be done,
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 18: There were only two means left to him. In order
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 18: to get a bite to eat. He had either to
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 18: work or to beg. He was ashamed to beg because
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 18: his father had always preached to him that begging should
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 18: be done only by the sick.
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 7: Or the old.
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 18: He had said that the real poor in this world,
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 18: deserving of our pity and help, were only those who,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 18: either through age or sickness, had lost the means of
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 18: earning their bread with their own hands. All others should work,
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 18: and if they didn't and went hungry, so much the
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 18: worse for them. Just then, a man passed by, worn
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 18: out and wet with perspiration, pulling with difficulty two heavy
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 18: carts filled with coal. Pinocchio looked at him, and, judging
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 18: him by his looks to be a kind man, said
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 18: to him, with eyes downcast in shame, will you be
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 18: so good as to give me a penny, for I'm
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 18: faint with hunger? Not only one penny, answered the coal man.
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 18: I'll give you four if you will help me pull
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 18: these two wagons. I am surprised, answered the marionette, very
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 18: much offended. I wish you to know that I have
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 18: never been a donkey, nor have I ever pulled a wagon.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 18: So much the better for you, answered the coal man. Then,
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 18: my boy, if you are really faint with hunger, eat
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 18: two slices of your pride, and I hope they don't
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 18: give you indigestion. A few minutes after, a bricklayer passed by,
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 18: carrying a pail full of plaster on his shoulder. Good man,
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 18: will you be kind enough to give a penny to
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 18: a poor boy who is yawning from hunger? Gladly, answered
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 18: the bricklayer. Come with me and carry some plaster, and
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 18: instead of one penny, I'll give you five. But the
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 18: plaster is heavy, answered Pinocchio, And the work is too
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 18: hard for me. If the work is too hard for you,
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 18: my boy, enjoy your yawns, and may they bring you luck.
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 18: In less than half an hour, at least twenty people
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 18: passed by, and Pinocchio begged of each one, but they
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 18: all answered, aren't you ashamed? Instead of being a beggar
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 18: in the streets, why don't you look for work and
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 18: earn your own bread. Finally, a little woman went by
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 18: carrying two jugs of water. Good woman, will you allow
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 18: me to have a drink from one of your jugs,
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 18: asked Pinocchio, who was burning up with thirst. With pleasure,
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 18: my boy, he answered, setting the two jugs on the
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 18: ground before him. When Pinocchio had had his fill, he
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 18: grumbled as he wiped his mouth. My thirst is gone.
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 18: If I could only as easily get rid of my hunger,
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 18: On hearing these words, the good little woman immediately said,
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 18: if you will help me carry these jugs home, I'll
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 18: give you a slice of bread. Pinocchio looked at the
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 18: jug and said, neither yes nor no. And with the bread,
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 18: I'll give you a nice dish of cauliflower with white
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 18: sauce on it. Pinocchio gave the jug another look and said,
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 18: neither yes nor no, and after the cauliflower, some cake
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 18: and jam. At this last bribery, Pinocchio could no longer resist,
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 18: and said, firmly, very well, I will take the jug
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 18: home for you. The jug was very heavy, and the marionette,
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 18: not being strong enough to carry it with his hands,
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 18: had to put it on his head. When they arrived home,
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 18: the little woman made Pinocchio sit down at a small
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 18: table and placed before him the bread, the cauliflower, and
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 18: the cake. Pinocchio did not eat. He devoured his stomachs
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 18: a bottomless bit. His hunger finally appeased, he raised his
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 18: head to thank his kind benefactress. But he had not
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 18: looked at her long when he gave a cry of surprise,
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 18: and sat there with his eyes wide open, his fork
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 18: in the air, and his mouth filled with bread. And cauliflower.
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 18: Why all this surprise, asked the good woman, laughing because,
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 18: answered Pinocchio, stammering and stuttering, because you look like you
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 18: remind me of Yes, yes, the same voice, the same eyes,
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 18: the same hair. Yes, yes, yes, you have also the
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 18: same asure hair she had. Oh, my little fairy, my
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 18: little fairy, tell me that it is you. Don't make
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 18: me cry any longer. If you only knew, I have
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 18: cried so much, I have suffered so and Pinocchio threw
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 18: himself on the floor and clasped the knees of the
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 18: mysterious little woman. End of chapter twenty four. Chapter twenty five,
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 18: Pinocchio promises the fairy to be good and to study,
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 18: as he is growing tired of being a marionette and
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 18: wishes to become a real bo. If Pinocchio cried much longer,
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 18: the little woman thought he would melt away, so she
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 18: finally admitted that she was the little fairy with azure hair.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 18: You are a rascal of a marionette. How did you
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 18: know it was I, she asked, laughing, My love for
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 18: you told me who you were. Do you remember you
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 18: left me when I was a little girl, and now
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 18: you find me a grown woman. I am so old
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 18: I could almost be your mother. I am very glad
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 18: of that. For then I can call you mother instead
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 18: of sister. For a long time I have wanted a mother,
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 18: just like other boys. But how did you grow so quickly?
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 18: That is a secret. Tell it to me. I want
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 18: to grow a little. Look at me. I have never
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 18: grown higher than a penny's worth of cheese. But you
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 18: cannot grow, answered the fairy.
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 18: Because marionettes never grow. They are born marionettes, They live marionettes,
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 18: and they die marionettes. Oh I am tired of always
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 18: being a marionette, cried Pinocchio, disgustedly. It's about time for
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 18: me to grow into a man as everyone else does,
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 18: and you will if you deserve it. Really, what can
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 18: I do to deserve it? It's a very simple matter.
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 18: Try to act like a well behaved child. Don't you
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 18: think I do? Far from it. Good boys are obedient,
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 18: and you, on the contrary, and I never obey. Good
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 18: boys love study and work, but you, I, on the contrary,
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 18: am a lazy fellow and tramp all year round. Good
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 18: boys always tell the truth, and I always tell lies.
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 18: Good boys go gladly to school and I get sick.
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 18: If I go to school from now on, I will
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 18: be different. Do you promise? I promise. I want to
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 18: become a good boy and be a comfort to my father.
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 18: Where is my poor father?
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 18: I do not know. Will I ever be lucky enough
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 18: to find him and embrace him once more? I think so, Indeed,
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 18: I am sure of it. At this answer, Pinocchio's happiness
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 18: was very great. He grasped the fairy's hands and kissed
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 18: them so hard that it looked as if he had
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 18: lost his head. Then, lifting his face, he looked at
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 18: her lovingly and asked, tell me, little mother, it isn't
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 18: true that you are dead, is it? It doesn't seem so,
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 18: answered the fairy, smiling. If you only knew how I suffered,
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 18: and how I wept when I read here lies I know,
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 18: and for that I have forgiven you. The depth of
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 18: your sorrow made me see that you have a kind heart.
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 18: There is always hope for boys with hearts such as yours,
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 18: though they may often be very mischievous. This is the
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 18: reason why I have come so far to look for you.
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 18: From now on, I'll be your own, little mother. Oh
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 18: how lovely, cried Pinocchio, jumping with joy. You will obey
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 18: me always and do as I wish, gladly, very gladly,
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 18: more than gladly, beginning tomorrow, said the fairy. You will
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 18: go to school every day. Pinocchio's face, well a little.
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 18: Then you will choose the trade you like best. Pinocchio
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 18: became more serious. What are you mumbling to yourself, asked
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 18: the fairy, I was just saying, whined the marionette in
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 18: a whisper, that it seems too late for me to
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 18: go to school now. No, indeed, remember it is never
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 18: too late to learn. But I don't want either trade
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 18: or profession. Why because work wearies me, My dear boy,
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 18: said the fairy. People who speak as you do usually
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 18: in their days, either in a prison or in a hospital.
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 18: A man. Remember, whether rich or poor, should do something.
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 18: In this world, no one can find happiness without work.
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 18: Woe betide the lazy fellow. Laziness is a serious illness,
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 18: and one must cure it immediately, yes, even from early childhood.
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 18: If not, it will kill you in the end. These
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 18: words touched Pinocchio's heart. He lifted his eyes to his
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 18: fairy and said, seriously, I'll work, I'll study, I'll do
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 18: all you tell me. After all, the life of a
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 18: marionette has grown very tiresome to me, and I want
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 18: to become a boy, no matter how hard it is.
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 18: You promise that, do you not? Yes, I promise, and
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 18: now it is up to you. End of chapter twenty five.
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 19: Chapter twenty six, Pinocchio goes to the seashore with his
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 19: friends to see the terrible shark. In the morning, right
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 19: and early, Pinocchio started for school. Imagine what the boy
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 19: said when they saw a MarioNet enter the classroom. They
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 19: laughed until they cried. Everyone played tricks on him. One
• 2:19:43
  Speaker 19: pulled his hat off, another tugged at his coat, A
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 19: third tried to paint a mustache under his nose. One
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 19: even attempted to tie strength to his feet in his
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 19: hands to make him dance. For a while, Pinocchio was
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 19: very calm and quiet. Finally, however, he lost all patience,
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 19: and turning to his tormentors, he said to them threateningly,
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 19: careful boys, I haven't come here to be made fine of.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 19: I'll respect you, and I want you to respect me.
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 19: Hurrah for doctor knowwoll you have spoken like a printed book,
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 19: howled the boys, bursting with laughter. One of them, more
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 19: impudent than the rest, put out his hand to pull
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 19: the marionet's nose, But he was not quick enough, for
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 19: Pinocchio stretched his leg under the table and kicked him
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 19: hard on the shin. Oh what hard feet, cried the boy,
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 19: rubbing the spot where the marinet had kicked him. And
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 19: but elbows, they are even harder than the feet, shouted
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 19: another one, who because of some other trick, had received
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 19: a blow in the stomach. With that cake, and that blow,
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 19: Pinocchio gained everybody's favor. Every one admired him. Then's attendance
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 19: upon him petty didn caressed him. As the days passed.
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 19: In two weeks, even the teacher praised him, for he
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 19: saw him attentive, hard working, and wide awake, always the
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 19: first to come in the morning and the last leave
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 19: when school was over. Pinocchio's only fault was that he
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 19: had too many friends. Among these were many well known
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 19: rascals who cared not a job for study or for success.
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 19: The teacher warned him each day, and even the good
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 19: Fairy repeated to him many times. Take care, Pinocchio. Those
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 19: bad companions will sooner or later make you lose your
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 19: love for study. Someday they will lead you astray. There's
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 19: no such danger, answered the marionette, shrugging his shoulders and
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 19: pointing to his forehead as if to say, I'm too wise.
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 19: So it happened that one day, as he was walking
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 19: to school, he met some boys who ran up to
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 19: him and said, have you heard the news? No, A
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 19: shark as big as a mountain has been seen near
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 19: the shore. Really, I wonder if it could be the
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 19: same one I heard of when my father was drowned.
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 19: We are going to see it, are you coming?
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 4: No?
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 19: Not, I I must go to s What do you
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 19: care about school? You can go there tomorrow with the
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 19: lesson more or less. We are always the same donkeys.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 19: And what will the teachers say? Let him talk? He
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 19: is paid to grumble all day long. And my mother
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 19: mothers don't know anything, answered those camps. Do you know
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 19: what I'll do, said Pinocchio, for certain reasons of mine,
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 19: I too want to see that chart, but I'll go
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 19: after school. I can see him then as well as now.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 19: Poor Simpleton, cried one of the boys. Do you think
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 19: that a fish of that size will stand there waiting
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 19: for you? He turns, and off he goes. And no
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 19: one will ever be the wiser. How long does it
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 19: take from here to the shore, asked the marionette. One
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 19: hour there and back. Very well, then, let's see who
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 19: gets there first, cried Pinocchio. At the signal, the little troop,
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 19: with bugs under their arms, dashed across the fields. Pinocchio
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 19: la running as if one wings, the others following as
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 19: fast as they could. Now and again, he looked back, and,
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 19: seeing his followers hot and tired, and with tongues hanging out,
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 19: he laughed out heartily. Unhappy boy, if he had only
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 19: known then the dreadful things that were to happen to
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 19: him on account of his disobedience. End of chapter twenty six.
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 18: Chapter twenty seven, the great battle between Pinocchio and his playmates.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 18: One is wounded, Pinocchio is arrested. Going like the wind,
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 18: Pinocchio took but a very short time to reach the shore.
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 18: He glanced all about him, but there was no sign
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 18: of a shark. The sea was as smooth as glass. Hey, there, boys,
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 18: where's that shark? He asked, turning to his playmates. He
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 18: may have gone for his breakfast, said one of them, laughing.
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 18: Or perhaps he went to bed for a little nap,
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 18: said another, laughing also from the answers, and the laugh
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 18: which followed them, Pinocchio understood that the boys had played
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 18: a trick on him. What now, he said angrily to them,
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 18: what's the joke? Oh, the joke's on you, cried his tormentors,
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 18: laughing more heartily than ever and dancing gaily around the marionette.
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 18: And that is that we have made you stay out
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 18: of school to come with us. Aren't you ashamed of
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 18: being such a goody goody and of studying so hard
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 18: you never have a bit of enjoyment? And what is
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 18: it to you if I do study? What does the
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 18: teacher think of us? You mean, why don't you see?
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 18: If you study and we don't, we pay for it.
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 18: After all, it's only fair to look out for ourselves.
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 18: What do you want me to do? Hate school and
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 18: books and teachers, as we all do. They are your
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 18: worst enemies, you know, and they like to make you
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 18: as unhappy as they can. And if I go on studying,
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 18: what will you do to me? You'll pay for it? Really,
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 18: you amuse me, answered the marionette, nodding his head. Hey,
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 18: Pinocchio cried, the tallest of them all, that will do.
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 18: We are tired of hearing you bragging about yourself, you
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 18: little turkey cock. You may not be afraid of us,
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 18: but remember we are not afraid of you either. You
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 18: are alone, you know, and we are seven like seven sins,
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 18: said Pinocchio, still laughing. Did you hear that he has
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 18: insulted us? All? He called us sins? Pinocchio, apologize for that,
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 18: or look out, cuck oo, said the marionette, mocking them
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 18: with his thumb to his nose. You'll be sorry, cuck oo.
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 18: We'll whip you soundly, cuck oo. You'll go home with
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 18: a broken nose. Cuck oo. Very well, then take that
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 18: and keep it for your supper, called out the boldest
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 18: of his tormentors, and with the words he gave Pinocchio
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 18: a terrible blow on the head. Pinocchio answered with another blow,
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 18: and that was the signal for the beginning of the fray.
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 18: In a few moments, the fight raged, hot and heavy
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 18: on both sides. Pinocchio, although alone, defended himself bravely with
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 18: those two wooden feet of his He worked so fast
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 18: that his opponents kept at a respectful distance. Wherever they landed,
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 18: they left their painful mark and the boys could only
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 18: run away and howl. Enraged at not being able to
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 18: fight the marionette at close quarters, they started to throw
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 18: all kinds of books at him. Readers, geographies, histories, grammars
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 18: flew in all directions, but Pinocchio was keen of eye
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 18: and swift of movement, and the books only passed over
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 18: his head, landed in the sea, and disappeared. The fish,
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 18: thinking they might be good to eat, came to the
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 18: top of the water in great numbers. Some took a nibble,
• 2:26:37
  Speaker 18: some took a bite, but no sooner had they tasted
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 18: a page or two than they spat them out with
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 18: a wry face, as if to say, what a horrible taste.
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 18: Our own food is so much better. Meanwhile, the battle
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 18: waxed more and more furiously. At the noise, a large
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 18: crab crawled slowly out of the water, and with a
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 18: voice that sounded like a trombone. Suffering from a cold,
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 18: he cried out, stopped fighting, you rascals. These battles between
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 18: you boys rarely end well. Trouble is sure to come
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 18: to you, poor crab. He might as well have spoken
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 18: to the wind instead of listening to his good advice.
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 18: Pinocchio turned to him and said, as roughly as he
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 18: knew how keep quiet, ugly crab. It would be better
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 18: for you to chew a few cough drops to get
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 18: rid of that cold you have. Go to bed and sleep.
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 18: You will feel better in the morning. In the meantime,
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 18: the boys, having used all their books, looked around for
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 18: new ammunition. Seeing Pinocchio's bundle lying idly near by, they
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 18: somehow managed to get hold of it. One of the
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 18: books was a very large volume, an arithmetic text, heavily
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 18: bound in leather. It was Pinocchio's pride among all his books.
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 18: He liked that one the best, thinking it would make
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 18: a fine missile. One of the boys took hold of
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 18: it and threw it with all his strength at Pinocchio's head,
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 18: But instead of hitting the marionette, the book struck one
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 18: of the other boys, who, as pale as a ghost,
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 18: cried out faintly, Oh mother, help, I'm dying, and fell
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 18: senseless to the ground. At the sight of that little
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 18: pale corpse, the boys were so frightened that they turned
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 18: tail and ran. In a few moments all had disappeared,
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 18: all except Pinocchio, although scared to death by the horror
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 18: of what had been done, He ran to the sea
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 18: and soaked his handkerchief in the cool water, and with
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 18: it bathed the head of his poor little schoolmate. Sobbing bitterly,
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 18: he cried to him, saying, Eugene, poor Eugene, open your
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 18: eyes and look at me. Why don't you answer? I
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 18: was not the one who hit you. You know believe me,
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 18: I didn't do it. Open your eyes, Eugene. If you
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 18: keep them shut, I'll die too. Oh dear me, how
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 18: shall I ever go home?
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 18: How shall I ever look at my little mother again?
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 18: What will happen to me? Where shall I go? Where
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 18: shall I hide?
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 18: How much better it would have been a thousand times
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 18: better if only I had gone to school. Why did
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 18: I listen to those boys? I always were a bad influence?
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 18: And to think that the teacher had told me and
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 18: my mother too, beware of bad company, That's what she said.
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 18: But I'm stubborn and proud. I listen, but always I
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 18: do as I wish, and then I pay. I've never
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 18: had a moment's piece since I've been born. Oh dear,
• 2:29:19
  Speaker 18: what will become of me? What will become of me?
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 18: Pinocchio went on, crying and moaning and beating his head.
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 18: Again and again he called to his little friend, when
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 18: suddenly he heard heavy steps approaching. He looked up and
• 2:29:32
  Speaker 18: saw two tall carabineers near him. What are you doing?
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 18: Stretched out on the ground, they asked, Pinocchio, I'm helping
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 18: this little schoolfellow of mine. Has he fainted? I should
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 18: say so, said one of the carabineers, bending to look
• 2:29:44
  Speaker 18: at Eugene. This boy has been wounded on the temple.
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 18: Who has hurt him? Not? I, stammered the marionette, who
• 2:29:52
  Speaker 18: had hardly a breath left in his whole body. If
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 18: it wasn't you, who was it? Then?
• 2:29:57
  Speaker 5: Not?
• 2:29:57
  Speaker 18: I repeated Pinocchio. What was he wounded?
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 20: With his book?
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 18: And the marionette picked up the arithmetic text to show
• 2:30:05
  Speaker 18: it to the officer. And whose book is this mine?
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 8: Enough?
• 2:30:09
  Speaker 18: Not another word? Get up as quickly as you can
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 18: and come along with us. But but I come with us,
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 18: But I am innocent, Come with us. Before starting out,
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 18: the officers called out to several fishermen passing by in
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 18: a boat and said to them, take care of this
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 18: little fellow who has been hurt, Take him home and
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 18: bind his wounds. Tomorrow we will come after him. Then
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 18: they took hold of Pinocchio, and, putting him between them,
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 18: said to him, in a rough voice, march and go quickly,
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 18: or it will be the worse for you. They did
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 18: not have to repeat their words. The marionette walked swiftly
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 18: along the road to the village, but the poor fellow
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 18: hardly knew what he was about. He thought he had
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 18: a nightmare. He felt ill, his eye saw everything double,
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 18: his legs trembled, his tongue was dry, and try as
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 18: he might, he could not utter a single word. Yet,
• 2:30:59
  Speaker 18: in spite of this numbness of feeling, he suffered keenly
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 18: at the thought of passing under the windows of his
• 2:31:05
  Speaker 18: good little fairy's house. What would she say on seeing him?
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 18: Between two carabineers. They had just reached the village when
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 18: a sudden gust of wind blew off Pinocchio's cap and
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 18: made it go sailing far down the street. Would you
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 18: allow me, the marionette asked the carabineers to run after
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 18: my cap. Very well, go, but hurry. The marionette went
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 18: picked up his cap, but instead of putting it on
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 18: his head, he stuck it between his teeth. And then
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 18: raced toward the sea. He went like a bullet out
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 18: of a gun. The carabineers, judging that it would be
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 18: very difficult to catch him, sent a large mastiff after him,
• 2:31:39
  Speaker 18: one that had won first prize in all the dog races.
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 18: Pinocchio ran fast, and the dog ran faster, at so
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 18: much noise. People hung out of the windows were gathered
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 18: in the street, anxious to see the end of the contest,
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 18: but they were disappointed. For the dog and Pinocchio raised
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 18: so much dust on the road that after a few
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 18: moments it was im possible to see them. End of
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 18: chapter twenty seven.
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 13: Chapter twenty eight, Pinocchio runs the danger of being fried
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 13: in a pan like a fish. During that wild chase,
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 13: Pinocchio lived through a terrible moment when he almost gave
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 13: himself up as lost. This was when Elidoro, that was
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 13: the mastiff's name, in a frenzy of running, came so
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 13: near that he was on the very point of reaching him.
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 13: The marionette heard close behind him the labored breathing of
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 13: the beast who was fast on his trail, and now
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 13: and again even felt his hot breath blow over him. Luckily,
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 13: by this time he was very near the shore, and
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 13: the sea was in sight, in fact, only a few
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 13: short steps away. As soon as he set foot on
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 13: the beach, Pinocchio gave a leap and fell into the water.
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 13: Elidoro tried to stop, but as he was running very fast,
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 13: he couldn't, and he too, landed far out in the sea.
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 13: Strange though it may seem, the dog could not swim.
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 13: He beat the water with his paws to hold himself up,
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 13: but the harder he tried, the deeper he sank. As
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 13: he stuck his head out once more, the poor fellow's
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 13: eyes were bulging, and he barked out wildly. I drown,
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 13: I drown, drown, answered Pinocchio from afar, happy at his escape,
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 13: how Pinocchio, dear little Pinocchio, saved me from death. At
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 13: those cries of suffering, the marionette, who after all had
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 13: a very kind heart, was moved to compassion. He turned
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 13: toward the poor animal and said to him, but if
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 13: I help you, will you promise not to bother me
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 13: again by running after me. I promise. I promise, only hurry,
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 13: for if you wait another second, I'll be dead and gone.
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 13: Pinocchio hesitated still another minute, then Remembering how his father
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 13: had often told him that a kind deed is never lost,
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 13: he swam to Alidoro, and catching hold of his tail,
• 2:33:56
  Speaker 13: dragged him to the shore. The poor dog was so
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 13: weak he could not stand. He had swallowed so much
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 13: salt water that he was swollen like a balloon. However, Pinocchio,
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 13: not wishing to trust him too much, threw himself once
• 2:34:10
  Speaker 13: again into the sea. As he swam away, he called out,
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 13: good bye, Eldoro, good luck, and remember me to the family.
• 2:34:19
  Speaker 13: Good Bye, little Pinocchio answered the dog, a thousand thanks
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 13: for having saved me from death. You did me a
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 13: good turn. And in this world, what is given is
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 13: always returned. If the chance comes, I shall be there.
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 13: Pinocchio went on swimming close to shore. At last he
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 13: thought he had reached a safe place. Glancing up and
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 13: down the beach, he saw the opening of a cave,
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 13: out of which rose a spiral of smoke. In that cave,
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 13: he said to himself, there must be a fire, so
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 13: much the better. I'll dry my clothes and warm myself,
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 13: and then well, his mind made up. Pinocchio swam to
• 2:34:59
  Speaker 13: the rocks, but as he started to climb, he felt
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 13: something under him lifting him up higher and higher. He
• 2:35:06
  Speaker 13: tried to escape, but he was too late. To his
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 13: great surprise, he found himself in a huge net amid
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 13: a crowd of fish of all kinds and sizes, who
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 13: were fighting and struggling desperately to free themselves. At the
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 13: same time, he saw a fisherman come out of the cave,
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 13: a fisherman so ugly that Pinocchio thought he was a
• 2:35:25
  Speaker 13: sea monster. In place of hair, his head was covered
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 13: by a thick bush of green grass. Green was the
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 13: skin of his body, green were his eyes, green was
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 13: the long, long beard that reached to his feet. He
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 13: looked like a giant lizard with legs and arms. When
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 13: the fisherman pulled the net out of the sea, he
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 13: cried out, joyfully, blessed Providence once more, I'll have a
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 13: fine meal of fish. Thank Heaven. I'm not a fish,
• 2:35:53
  Speaker 13: said Pinocchio to himself, trying with these words to find
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 13: a little courage. The fisherman took the net and the
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 13: fish to the cave, a dark, gloomy, smoky place. In
• 2:36:05
  Speaker 13: the middle of it, a panful of oil sizzled over
• 2:36:09
  Speaker 13: a smoky fire, sending out a repelling odor of tallow
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 13: that took away one's breath. Now, let's see what kind
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 13: of fish we have got today, said the green fisherman.
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 13: He put a hand as big as a spade into
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 13: the net and pulled out a handful of mullets. Fine mullets, these,
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 13: he said, after looking at them and smelling them with pleasure.
• 2:36:31
  Speaker 13: After that he threw them into a large empty tub.
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 13: Many times he repeated this performance. As he pulled each
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 13: fish out of the net, his mouth watered with the
• 2:36:41
  Speaker 13: thought of the good dinner coming, and he said, fine.
• 2:36:44
  Speaker 21: Fish, these bass, very tasty, These whitefish, delicious flounders, These
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 21: what splendid crabs, and these dear little anchovies with their
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 21: heads still on.
• 2:36:57
  Speaker 13: As you can well imagine, the bass, the flounder, the whitefish,
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 13: and even the little anchovies all went together into the
• 2:37:03
  Speaker 13: tub to keep the mullets company. The last to come
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 13: out of the net was Pinocchio. As soon as the
• 2:37:10
  Speaker 13: fisherman pulled him out, his green eyes opened wide with surprise,
• 2:37:14
  Speaker 13: and he cried out in fear. What kind of fish
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 13: is this? I don't remember eating anything like it. He
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 13: looked at him closely, and after turning him over and over,
• 2:37:24
  Speaker 13: he said, at last, I understand he must be a crab. Pinocchio,
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 13: mortified at being taken for a crab, said, resentfully, what
• 2:37:34
  Speaker 13: nonsense a crab? Indeed, I am no such thing. Beware
• 2:37:38
  Speaker 13: how you deal with me. I am a marionette. I
• 2:37:40
  Speaker 13: want you to know a marionette, asked the fisherman. I
• 2:37:45
  Speaker 13: must admit that a marionette fish is for me an
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 13: entirely new kind of fish. So much the better. I'll
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 13: eat you with greater relish eat me. But can't you
• 2:37:56
  Speaker 13: understand that I'm not a fish? Can't you hear that
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 13: I speak and think as you do? It's true, answered
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 13: the fisherman. But since I see that you are a fish,
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 13: well able to talk and think as I do, I'll
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 13: treat you with all due respect, and that is that
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 13: as a sign of my particular esteem, I'll leave to
• 2:38:15
  Speaker 13: you the choice of manner in which you are to
• 2:38:17
  Speaker 13: be cooked. Do you wish to be fried in a pan?
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 13: Or do you prefer to be cooked with tomato sauce?
• 2:38:24
  Speaker 13: To tell you the truth? Answered Pinocchio. If I must choose,
• 2:38:28
  Speaker 13: I should much rather go free so I may return home.
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 13: Are you fooling? Do you think that I want to
• 2:38:34
  Speaker 13: lose the opportunity to taste such a rare fish, A
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 13: marionette fish does not come very often to these seas.
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 21: Leave it to me.
• 2:38:42
  Speaker 13: I'll fry you in the pan with the others. I
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 13: know you'll like it. It's always a comfort to find one's
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 13: self in good company. The unlucky marionette, hearing this, began
• 2:38:53
  Speaker 13: to cry and wail and beg with tears streaming down
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 13: his cheeks. He said, how much better it would have
• 2:39:00
  Speaker 13: been for me to go to school. I did listen
• 2:39:03
  Speaker 13: to my playmates, and now I am paying for it.
• 2:39:06
  Speaker 13: Oh oh oh, And as he struggled and squirmed like
• 2:39:12
  Speaker 13: an eel to escape from him, the green fisherman took
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 13: a stout cord and tied him hand and foot and
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 13: threw him into the bottom of the tub with the others.
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 13: Then he pulled a wooden bowl full of flour out
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 13: of a cupboard and started to roll the fish into
• 2:39:26
  Speaker 13: it one by one. When they were white with it,
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 13: he threw them into the pan. The first to dance
• 2:39:33
  Speaker 13: in the hot oil were the mullets. The bass followed,
• 2:39:37
  Speaker 13: then the whitefish, the flounders, and the anchovies. Pinocchio's turn
• 2:39:42
  Speaker 13: came last. Seeing himself so near to death, and such
• 2:39:47
  Speaker 13: a horrible death, he began to tremble, so with fright
• 2:39:50
  Speaker 13: that he had no voice left with which to beg
• 2:39:52
  Speaker 13: for his life. The poor boy beseeched only with his eyes,
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 13: but the green fisherman, not even noticing that it was
• 2:40:00
  Speaker 13: he turned him over and over in the flower until
• 2:40:04
  Speaker 13: he looked like a marionette made of chalk. Then he
• 2:40:07
  Speaker 13: took him by the head and end of chapter twenty eight.
• 2:40:12
  Speaker 18: Chapter twenty nine, Pinocchio returns to the fairy's house and
• 2:40:17
  Speaker 18: she promises him that on the morrow he will cease
• 2:40:20
  Speaker 18: to be a marionette and become a boy. A wonderful
• 2:40:24
  Speaker 18: party of coffee and milk to celebrate the great event.
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 18: Mindful of what the fisherman had said, Pinocchio knew that
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 18: all hope of being saved had gone. He closed his
• 2:40:35
  Speaker 18: eyes and waited for the final moment. Suddenly, a large dog,
• 2:40:40
  Speaker 18: attracted by the odor of boiling oil, came running into
• 2:40:43
  Speaker 18: the cave. Get out, cried the fisherman, threateningly, and still
• 2:40:48
  Speaker 18: holding on to the marionette, who was all covered with flour.
• 2:40:51
  Speaker 18: But the poor dog was very hungry and whining and
• 2:40:55
  Speaker 18: wagging his tail. He tried to say, give me a
• 2:40:58
  Speaker 18: bite of the fish. I'll go in peace. Get out,
• 2:41:01
  Speaker 18: I say, repeated the fisherman, and he drew back his
• 2:41:03
  Speaker 18: foot to give the dog a kick. Then the dog,
• 2:41:06
  Speaker 18: who being really hungry, would take no refusal, turned in
• 2:41:10
  Speaker 18: a rage toward the fisherman and bared his terrible fangs.
• 2:41:14
  Speaker 18: At that moment, a pitiful little voice was heard, saying,
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 18: save me, Alidoro. If you don't, I'll fry. The dog
• 2:41:21
  Speaker 18: immediately recognized Pinocchio's voice. Great was his surprise to find
• 2:41:26
  Speaker 18: that the voice came from the little flower covered bundle
• 2:41:29
  Speaker 18: that the fisherman held in his hand. Then what did
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 18: he do? With one great leap, he grasped that bundle
• 2:41:36
  Speaker 18: in his mouth, and, holding it lightly between his teeth,
• 2:41:39
  Speaker 18: ran through the door and disappeared like a flash. The fisherman,
• 2:41:43
  Speaker 18: angry at seeing his meal snatched from under his nose,
• 2:41:47
  Speaker 18: ran after the dog, but a bad fit of coughing
• 2:41:49
  Speaker 18: made him stop and turn back. Meanwhile, Alidoro, as soon
• 2:41:54
  Speaker 18: as he had found the road which led to the village,
• 2:41:56
  Speaker 18: stopped and dropped Pinocchio softly to the ground. How much
• 2:42:00
  Speaker 18: I do, thank you, said the marionette. It's not necessary
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 18: answered the dog. You saved me once, and what is
• 2:42:07
  Speaker 18: given is always returned. We are in this world to
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 18: help one another. But how did you get in that cave?
• 2:42:15
  Speaker 18: I was lying here on the sand, more dead than alive,
• 2:42:18
  Speaker 18: when an appetizing odor of fright fish came to me.
• 2:42:22
  Speaker 18: That odor tickled my hunger, and I followed it. Oh,
• 2:42:26
  Speaker 18: if I had come a moment later, don't speak about it,
• 2:42:29
  Speaker 18: wailed Pinocchio, still trembling with fright. Don't say a word.
• 2:42:33
  Speaker 18: If you had come a moment later, I would be fried, eaten,
• 2:42:36
  Speaker 18: and digested by this time. Er I shiver at the
• 2:42:40
  Speaker 18: mere thought of it. Alidoro laughingly held out his paw
• 2:42:43
  Speaker 18: to the marionette, who shook it heartily, feeling that now
• 2:42:47
  Speaker 18: he and the dog were good friends. Then they bid
• 2:42:49
  Speaker 18: each other good bye, and the dog went home. Pinocchio,
• 2:42:53
  Speaker 18: left alone, walked toward a little hut near by, where
• 2:42:56
  Speaker 18: an old man sat at the door, sunning himself, and asked,
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 18: tell me, have you heard anything of a poor boy
• 2:43:02
  Speaker 18: with a wounded head whose name was Eugene. The boy
• 2:43:06
  Speaker 18: was brought to this hut, and now now he's dead,
• 2:43:09
  Speaker 18: Pinocchio interrupted, sorrowfully. No, he is now alive, and he
• 2:43:12
  Speaker 18: has already returned home. Really, really, cried the marionette, jumping
• 2:43:17
  Speaker 18: around with joy. And the wound was not serious, but
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 18: it might have been even Martle, answered the old man,
• 2:43:24
  Speaker 18: For heavy book was thrown at his head, and who
• 2:43:27
  Speaker 18: threw it? A schoolmate of his, a certain Pinocchio. And
• 2:43:31
  Speaker 18: who is this Pinocchio, asked the marionette, feigning ignorance. They
• 2:43:36
  Speaker 18: say he is a mischief maker, a tramp, a street
• 2:43:39
  Speaker 18: urchin calumnies, all calumnies. Do you know this Pinocchio by sight,
• 2:43:44
  Speaker 18: answered the marionette. And what do you think of him?
• 2:43:47
  Speaker 18: Answered the old man. I think he is a very
• 2:43:49
  Speaker 18: good boy, fond of study, obedient, kind to his father
• 2:43:53
  Speaker 18: and to his whole family. As he was telling all
• 2:43:56
  Speaker 18: these enormous lies about himself, Pinocchio touched his nose and
• 2:44:00
  Speaker 18: found it twice as long as it should be. Scared
• 2:44:03
  Speaker 18: out of his wits, he cried out, don't listen to me,
• 2:44:05
  Speaker 18: a good man. All the wonderful things I have said
• 2:44:07
  Speaker 18: are not true at all. I know Pinocchio well, and
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 18: he is indeed a very wicked fellow, lazy and disobedient, who,
• 2:44:14
  Speaker 18: instead of going to school, runs away with his playmates
• 2:44:17
  Speaker 18: to have a good time. At this speech, his nose
• 2:44:20
  Speaker 18: returned to its natural size. Why are you so pale?
• 2:44:24
  Speaker 18: Asked the old man. Suddenly, let me tell you, without
• 2:44:28
  Speaker 18: knowing it, I've rubbed myself against a newly painted wall.
• 2:44:31
  Speaker 18: He lied, ashamed to say that he had been made
• 2:44:33
  Speaker 18: ready for the frying pan. What have you done with
• 2:44:36
  Speaker 18: your coat and your hat and your breeches? I met
• 2:44:39
  Speaker 18: thieves and they robbed me. Tell me, my good man,
• 2:44:42
  Speaker 18: have you not perhaps a little suit to give me
• 2:44:45
  Speaker 18: so that I may go home?
• 2:44:46
  Speaker 5: My boy?
• 2:44:47
  Speaker 18: As for clothes, I have only a bag in which
• 2:44:50
  Speaker 18: I keep hops. If you want it, take it there
• 2:44:53
  Speaker 18: it is. Pinocchio did not wait for him to repeat
• 2:44:56
  Speaker 18: his words. He took the bag, which happened to be empty,
• 2:44:59
  Speaker 18: and after cutting a big hole at the top and
• 2:45:01
  Speaker 18: two at the sides, he slipped into it as if
• 2:45:04
  Speaker 18: it were a shirt. Lightly clad as he was, he
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 18: started out toward the village. Along the way, he felt
• 2:45:10
  Speaker 18: very uneasy. In fact, he was so unhappy that he
• 2:45:14
  Speaker 18: went along, taking two steps forward and one back. And
• 2:45:17
  Speaker 18: as he went he said to himself, how shall I
• 2:45:20
  Speaker 18: ever face my good little fairy? What will she say
• 2:45:23
  Speaker 18: when she sees me. Will she forgive this last trick
• 2:45:26
  Speaker 18: of mine? I am sure she won't. Oh no, she won't,
• 2:45:29
  Speaker 18: and I deserve it, as usual, for I am a rascal,
• 2:45:32
  Speaker 18: fine on promises which I never keep. He came to
• 2:45:36
  Speaker 18: the village late at night. It was so dark he
• 2:45:39
  Speaker 18: could see nothing, and it was raining pitchforks. Pinocchio went
• 2:45:43
  Speaker 18: straight to the fairy's house, firmly resolved to knock at
• 2:45:45
  Speaker 18: the door. When he found himself there, he lost courage
• 2:45:49
  Speaker 18: and ran back a few steps. A second time he
• 2:45:52
  Speaker 18: came to the door, and again he ran back. The
• 2:45:55
  Speaker 18: third time, he repeated his performance the fourth time, before
• 2:45:59
  Speaker 18: he had time to lose his courage. He grasped the
• 2:46:01
  Speaker 18: knocker and made a faint sound with it. He waited,
• 2:46:05
  Speaker 18: and waited and waited. Finally, after a full half hour,
• 2:46:10
  Speaker 18: a top floor window the house had four stories opened
• 2:46:15
  Speaker 18: and Pinocchio saw a large snail look out. A tiny
• 2:46:19
  Speaker 18: light glowed on top of her head. Who knocks at
• 2:46:22
  Speaker 18: this late hour? She called? Is the fairy home? Asked
• 2:46:26
  Speaker 18: the marionette. The fairy is asleep and does not wish
• 2:46:30
  Speaker 18: to be disturbed. Who are you it is? I? Who's I? Pinocchio?
• 2:46:36
  Speaker 18: Who is Pinocchio, the marionette, the one who lives in
• 2:46:40
  Speaker 18: the fairy's house. Oh, I understand, said the snail. Wait
• 2:46:45
  Speaker 18: for me there. I will come down to open the
• 2:46:49
  Speaker 18: door for you. Hurry, I beg of you, for I
• 2:46:51
  Speaker 18: am dying of cold, my boy, I am a snail,
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 18: and snails are never in a hurry. An hour passed,
• 2:47:02
  Speaker 18: two hours the door was still closed. Pinocchio, who was
• 2:47:07
  Speaker 18: trembling with fear and shivering from the cold rain on
• 2:47:09
  Speaker 18: his back, knocked a second time, this time louder than before.
• 2:47:14
  Speaker 18: At that second knock, a window on the third floor opened,
• 2:47:18
  Speaker 18: and the same snail looked out. Dear little snail, cried
• 2:47:21
  Speaker 18: Pinocchio from the street. I have been waiting two hours
• 2:47:24
  Speaker 18: for you, and two hours on a dreadful night like
• 2:47:27
  Speaker 18: this are as long as two years. Hurry, please, my boy,
• 2:47:32
  Speaker 18: answered the snail in a calm, peaceful voice. My dear boy,
• 2:47:37
  Speaker 18: I am a snail, and snails are never in a hurry.
• 2:47:42
  Speaker 18: And the window closed. A few minutes later, midnight struck,
• 2:47:47
  Speaker 18: then one o'clock, two o'clock, and the door still remained closed.
• 2:47:53
  Speaker 18: Then Pinocchio, losing all patience, grabbed the knocker with both hands,
• 2:47:57
  Speaker 18: fully determined to wake the whole house in the street
• 2:48:00
  Speaker 18: with it. As soon as he touched the knocker, however,
• 2:48:02
  Speaker 18: it became an eel and wiggled away into the darkness.
• 2:48:06
  Speaker 18: Really cried Pinocchio, blind with rage. If the knocker is gone,
• 2:48:10
  Speaker 18: I can still use my feet. He stepped back and
• 2:48:13
  Speaker 18: gave the door a most solemn kick. He kicked so
• 2:48:17
  Speaker 18: hard that his foot went straight through the door, and
• 2:48:19
  Speaker 18: his leg followed almost to the knee. No matter how
• 2:48:23
  Speaker 18: he pulled and tugged, he could not pull it out there.
• 2:48:26
  Speaker 18: He stayed as if nailed to the door. Poor Pinocchio.
• 2:48:31
  Speaker 18: The rest of the night he had to spend with
• 2:48:33
  Speaker 18: one foot through the door and the other one in
• 2:48:35
  Speaker 18: the air. As dawn was breaking, the door finally opened.
• 2:48:40
  Speaker 18: That brave little animal, the snail, had taken exactly nine
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 18: hours to go from the fourth floor to the street.
• 2:48:46
  Speaker 18: How she must have raced. What are you doing with
• 2:48:50
  Speaker 18: your foot through the door, she asked the marionette, laughing
• 2:48:54
  Speaker 18: it was a misfortune. Won't you try, pretty little snail,
• 2:48:57
  Speaker 18: to free me from this terrible torture. My boy, we
• 2:49:02
  Speaker 18: need a carpenter here, and I have never been one.
• 2:49:05
  Speaker 18: Ask the fairy to help me. The fairy is asleep
• 2:49:09
  Speaker 18: and does not want to be disturbed. But what do
• 2:49:12
  Speaker 18: you want me to do? Nailed to the door like this,
• 2:49:15
  Speaker 18: enjoy yourself, counting the ants which are passing by. Bring
• 2:49:19
  Speaker 18: me something to eat at least, for I am faint
• 2:49:21
  Speaker 18: with hunger. Immediately, in fact, after three and a half hours,
• 2:49:27
  Speaker 18: Pinocchio saw her return with the silver tray on her head.
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 18: On the tray there were bread, roast, chicken, fruit. Here
• 2:49:35
  Speaker 18: is the breakfast the fairy sends to you, said the snail.
• 2:49:39
  Speaker 18: At the sight of all these good things, the marionette
• 2:49:42
  Speaker 18: felt much better. What was his disgust? However, when, on
• 2:49:46
  Speaker 18: tasting the food he found the bread to be made
• 2:49:48
  Speaker 18: of chalk, the chicken of cardboard, and the brilliant fruit
• 2:49:52
  Speaker 18: of colored alabaster, he wanted to cry. He wanted to
• 2:49:56
  Speaker 18: give himself up to despair. He wanted to throw away
• 2:49:59
  Speaker 18: the tray in all that was on it. Instead, either
• 2:50:02
  Speaker 18: from pain or weakness, he fell to the floor and
• 2:50:05
  Speaker 18: a dead faint. When he regained his senses, he found
• 2:50:09
  Speaker 18: himself stretched out on a sofa, and the fairy was
• 2:50:12
  Speaker 18: seated near him. This time I forgive you, said the
• 2:50:16
  Speaker 18: fairy to him. But be careful not to get into
• 2:50:19
  Speaker 18: mischief again. Pinocchio promised to study and to behave himself,
• 2:50:24
  Speaker 18: and he kept his word for the remainder of the year.
• 2:50:27
  Speaker 18: At the end of it he passed first in all
• 2:50:30
  Speaker 18: his examinations, and his report was so good that the
• 2:50:33
  Speaker 18: fairy said to him, Happily, tomorrow your wish will come true.
• 2:50:38
  Speaker 18: And what is that Tomorrow you will cease to be
• 2:50:41
  Speaker 18: a marionette and will become a real boy. Pinocchio was
• 2:50:46
  Speaker 18: beside himself with joy. All his friends and schoolmates must
• 2:50:49
  Speaker 18: be invited to celebrate the great event. The fairy promised
• 2:50:53
  Speaker 18: to prepare two hundred cups of coffee and milk, and
• 2:50:56
  Speaker 18: four hundred slices of toast, buttered on both sides. The
• 2:50:59
  Speaker 18: day must be a very gay and happy one. But unluckily,
• 2:51:05
  Speaker 18: in a marionette's life there's always a butt which is
• 2:51:08
  Speaker 18: apt to spoil everything. End of chapter twenty nine.
• 2:51:15
  Speaker 8: Chapter thirty, in which Pinocchio, instead of becoming a boy,
• 2:51:22
  Speaker 8: runs away to the land of toys with his friend
• 2:51:26
  Speaker 8: lamp Wick. Coming out at last from the surprise into
• 2:51:35
  Speaker 8: which the Fairy's words had thrown him, Pinocchio asked for
• 2:51:40
  Speaker 8: permission to give out the invitations. Well, indeed, you may
• 2:51:47
  Speaker 8: invite your friends to tomorrow's party, only remember to return
• 2:51:54
  Speaker 8: home before doctor. You understand. Oh, I'll be back in
• 2:51:59
  Speaker 8: one hour without fail, answered the marionette. Well take care, Pinocchio.
• 2:52:06
  Speaker 8: Boys give promises very easily, but they as easily forget them.
• 2:52:13
  Speaker 8: But I am not like those others. When I give
• 2:52:16
  Speaker 8: my word, I keep it. We shall see in case
• 2:52:22
  Speaker 8: you do disobey, you will be the one to suffer,
• 2:52:26
  Speaker 8: not any one else. Why, because boys who do not
• 2:52:32
  Speaker 8: listen to their elders always come to grief. Well, I
• 2:52:37
  Speaker 8: certainly have said Pinocchio, but from now on I obey. Well,
• 2:52:46
  Speaker 8: we shall see if you were telling the truth. And
• 2:52:50
  Speaker 8: without adding another word, Pinocchio bade the good fairy good bye, and,
• 2:52:56
  Speaker 8: singing and dancing, he left the house in a little
• 2:53:01
  Speaker 8: more than an hour. All his friends were invited. Some
• 2:53:05
  Speaker 8: accepted quickly and gladly. Others had to be coaxed. But
• 2:53:10
  Speaker 8: when they heard that the toast was to be buttered
• 2:53:14
  Speaker 8: on both sides, they all ended by accepting the invitation
• 2:53:20
  Speaker 8: with the words, oh, we'll come to please you. Now.
• 2:53:27
  Speaker 8: It must be known that among all his friends Pinocchio
• 2:53:32
  Speaker 8: had one whom he loved most of all. The boy's
• 2:53:38
  Speaker 8: real name was Romeo, but every one called him lamp
• 2:53:43
  Speaker 8: Wick because he was tall and thin and had a
• 2:53:48
  Speaker 8: woebegone look about him. Lamp Wick was the laziest boy
• 2:53:54
  Speaker 8: in the school and the biggest mischief maker, but Pinocchio
• 2:53:59
  Speaker 8: loved him. Dearly that day, he went straight to his
• 2:54:05
  Speaker 8: friend's house to invite him to the party, but lamp
• 2:54:08
  Speaker 8: Wick was not at home. He went a second time,
• 2:54:14
  Speaker 8: and again a third, but still without success. Or where
• 2:54:18
  Speaker 8: could he be? Pinocchio searched here, and there and everywhere,
• 2:54:23
  Speaker 8: and finally discovered him hiding under a farmer's wagon. Or
• 2:54:29
  Speaker 8: what are you doing there? Asked Pinocchio, running up to him. Oh,
• 2:54:34
  Speaker 8: I'm waiting for midnight to strike, to go where far
• 2:54:39
  Speaker 8: far away? And I have gone to your house three
• 2:54:43
  Speaker 8: times to look for you? Or what did you want
• 2:54:45
  Speaker 8: from me? Haven't you heard the news? Don't you know
• 2:54:49
  Speaker 8: what good luck is mine? Or what is it? Tomorrow
• 2:54:53
  Speaker 8: I end my days as a marionette and become a
• 2:54:57
  Speaker 8: boy like you, then all my my other friends, well
• 2:55:02
  Speaker 8: may it bring your luck?
• 2:55:04
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 2:55:05
  Speaker 8: Shall I see you at my party tomorrow? But I'm
• 2:55:08
  Speaker 8: telling you that I go tonight, what time at midnight?
• 2:55:16
  Speaker 8: Where are you going to? A real country, the best
• 2:55:20
  Speaker 8: in the world, A wonderful place. What's it called. It's
• 2:55:24
  Speaker 8: called the Land of Toys. Why don't you come to I?
• 2:55:30
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 2:55:30
  Speaker 8: Now where you're making a big mistake, Pinocchio. Believe me,
• 2:55:35
  Speaker 8: If you don't come, you'll be sorry. Now, where can
• 2:55:40
  Speaker 8: you find a place that will agree better with you
• 2:55:43
  Speaker 8: and me? No schools, no teachers, no books in that
• 2:55:48
  Speaker 8: blessed place. There is no such thing as study here.
• 2:55:54
  Speaker 8: It is only on Saturdays that we have no school
• 2:55:57
  Speaker 8: in the Land of Toys. Every day except Sunday. It's
• 2:56:03
  Speaker 8: a Saturday. Vacation begins on the first of January and
• 2:56:09
  Speaker 8: ends on the last day of December. Now that's the
• 2:56:12
  Speaker 8: place for me. All countries should be like it, How
• 2:56:16
  Speaker 8: happy we should all be. But how does one spend
• 2:56:23
  Speaker 8: the day in the Land of toys? Asked Pinocchio. Days
• 2:56:27
  Speaker 8: are spent in play and enjoyment from morn till night.
• 2:56:30
  Speaker 8: At night one goes to bed, and the next morning
• 2:56:33
  Speaker 8: the good times begin all over again. What do you
• 2:56:36
  Speaker 8: think of it? Mm, said Pinocchio, nodding his wooden head
• 2:56:41
  Speaker 8: as if to say, well, it's the kind of life
• 2:56:46
  Speaker 8: they would agree with me perfectly. Well, you want to
• 2:56:49
  Speaker 8: go with me, then yes or no? You have to
• 2:56:51
  Speaker 8: make up your mind. No, no, and again no. I
• 2:56:58
  Speaker 8: promise my fairy to become a good boy, and I
• 2:57:01
  Speaker 8: want to keep my word. You see, the sun is setting,
• 2:57:05
  Speaker 8: and I must leave you and run goodbye, good luck
• 2:57:08
  Speaker 8: to you.
• 2:57:09
  Speaker 5: Where are you going in.
• 2:57:10
  Speaker 8: Such a hurry home? My good fairy wants me to
• 2:57:14
  Speaker 8: return home before night. Wait two minutes more. It's too late.
• 2:57:20
  Speaker 8: Only two minutes. And if the fairy scolds me, let
• 2:57:25
  Speaker 8: her scold. If you get tired, she'll stop, said lamp Wick.
• 2:57:31
  Speaker 8: Are you going alone or with others alone? There will
• 2:57:35
  Speaker 8: be more than a hundred of us. Will you walk
• 2:57:40
  Speaker 8: at midnight? The wagon passes here? That is to take
• 2:57:43
  Speaker 8: us within the boundaries of that marvelous country. How I
• 2:57:49
  Speaker 8: wish midnight would strike? Why to see you all set
• 2:57:55
  Speaker 8: out together? We'll stay here a while longer, and you
• 2:57:59
  Speaker 8: will see us. No, No, I want to return home.
• 2:58:04
  Speaker 8: Wait two more minutes. I've waited too long. As it is,
• 2:58:09
  Speaker 8: the fairy will be worried. No, poor fairy, is she
• 2:58:13
  Speaker 8: afraid the bats will eat you up? Listen, lamp Wick said, Pinocchio,
• 2:58:18
  Speaker 8: are you really sure? There are no schools in the
• 2:58:22
  Speaker 8: land of Toys, not even the shadow of one, not
• 2:58:28
  Speaker 8: even one teacher, not one. And one does not have
• 2:58:34
  Speaker 8: to study, never, never, never. What a great land, said Pinocchio,
• 2:58:43
  Speaker 8: feeling his mouth water, What a beautiful land. I've never
• 2:58:47
  Speaker 8: been there, but I can well imagine it. Well, why
• 2:58:50
  Speaker 8: don't you come too, Well, it's useless for you to
• 2:58:54
  Speaker 8: tempt me. I told you, I promised my good fairy
• 2:58:56
  Speaker 8: to behave myself, and I'm going to keep my word. Well,
• 2:59:00
  Speaker 8: goodbye then, and remember me to the grammar schools, to
• 2:59:06
  Speaker 8: the high schools, and even to the colleges if you
• 2:59:12
  Speaker 8: meet them on the way. Well, goodbye, lamp Wick, and
• 2:59:16
  Speaker 8: have a pleasant trip, and enjoy yourself, and remember your
• 2:59:20
  Speaker 8: friends once in a while. And with these words, Pinocchio
• 2:59:24
  Speaker 8: started on his way home, turning once more to his
• 2:59:27
  Speaker 8: friend and asked him, are you sure that in that
• 2:59:36
  Speaker 8: country each week is composed of six Saturdays and one Sunday?
• 2:59:45
  Speaker 8: Very sure? And that vacation begins on the first of
• 2:59:50
  Speaker 8: January and ends on the thirty first of December. Very
• 2:59:55
  Speaker 8: very sure?
• 2:59:57
  Speaker 3: What a great country, repeated Pinocchio, puzzled, is what to do,
• 3:00:04
  Speaker 3: And then, in sudden determination, he said, hurriedly.
• 3:00:09
  Speaker 8: Goodbye for the last time, and good luck, goodbye. How
• 3:00:15
  Speaker 8: soon will you go? Within two hours? What a pity?
• 3:00:21
  Speaker 8: If it were only one hour, I might wait for
• 3:00:24
  Speaker 8: you and the fairy. Oh by this time, Well, in one
• 3:00:31
  Speaker 8: hour or more or less, makes makes very little difference.
• 3:00:35
  Speaker 8: I'm late, you know, poor Pinocchio. If the fairy scold you, no,
• 3:00:42
  Speaker 8: let her scold. After she gets tired, she'll stop. In
• 3:00:46
  Speaker 8: the meantime, the night became darker and darker, and all
• 3:00:53
  Speaker 8: at once in the distance, a small light flickered, queer
• 3:01:00
  Speaker 8: sound could be heard, soft us, a little bell, and
• 3:01:06
  Speaker 8: faint and muffled, like the buzz of a far away mosquito.
• 3:01:12
  Speaker 8: There it is, cried lamp Wick, jumping to his feet, What,
• 3:01:17
  Speaker 8: whispered Pinocchio, the wagon which is coming to get me
• 3:01:23
  Speaker 8: for the last time? Are you coming or not? But
• 3:01:30
  Speaker 8: is it really true that in that country boy's never
• 3:01:34
  Speaker 8: half the study, never never never, Oh, what a wonderful, beautiful,
• 3:01:43
  Speaker 8: marvelous country.
• 3:01:45
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 3:01:47
  Speaker 8: That is the end of chapter thirty Chapter thirty one,
• 3:01:53
  Speaker 8: in which, after five months of play, Pinocchio wakes up
• 3:01:58
  Speaker 8: one fine morning and finds a great surprise awaiting him.
• 3:02:05
  Speaker 8: Finally the wagon arrived. It made no noise, for its
• 3:02:10
  Speaker 8: wheels were bound with straw and rags. It was drawn
• 3:02:14
  Speaker 8: by twelve pair of donkeys, all of the same size,
• 3:02:20
  Speaker 8: but all of different color. Some were gray, others white,
• 3:02:25
  Speaker 8: and still others a mixture of brown and black. Here
• 3:02:30
  Speaker 8: and there were a few with large yellow and blue stripes.
• 3:02:37
  Speaker 8: The strangest thing of all was that those twenty four donkeys,
• 3:02:43
  Speaker 8: instead of being iron shod like any other beast of burden,
• 3:02:49
  Speaker 8: had on their feet laced shoes made of leather, just
• 3:02:53
  Speaker 8: like the ones boys wear. And the driver of the
• 3:02:58
  Speaker 8: wagon to yourselves, a little fat man, much whiter than
• 3:03:05
  Speaker 8: he was, tall, round and shiny as a ball of butter,
• 3:03:11
  Speaker 8: with a face beaming like an apple, a little mouth
• 3:03:15
  Speaker 8: that always smiled, and a voice small and wheedling, like
• 3:03:21
  Speaker 8: that of a cat begging for food. No sooner did
• 3:03:26
  Speaker 8: a boy see him than that boy fell in love
• 3:03:30
  Speaker 8: with him. And nothing satisfied this boy but to be
• 3:03:35
  Speaker 8: allowed to ride in the man's wagon to that lovely
• 3:03:40
  Speaker 8: place called the Land of Toys. In fat the wagon
• 3:03:46
  Speaker 8: was so closely packed with boys of all ages that
• 3:03:52
  Speaker 8: it looked like a box of sardines. They were uncomfortable.
• 3:03:58
  Speaker 8: They were piled one on top of the other. They
• 3:04:02
  Speaker 8: could hardly breathe. Yet not one word of complaint was heard.
• 3:04:08
  Speaker 8: The thought that in a few hours they would reach
• 3:04:11
  Speaker 8: a country where there were no school, no books, no
• 3:04:18
  Speaker 8: teachers made these boys so happy that they felt neither
• 3:04:23
  Speaker 8: hunger nor thirst, nor sleep nor discomfort. No sooner had
• 3:04:29
  Speaker 8: the wagon stopped than the little fat man turned to
• 3:04:32
  Speaker 8: lamp Wick with bows and smiles. He asked, in a
• 3:04:36
  Speaker 8: wheedling tone, tell me, my fine boy, do you also
• 3:04:42
  Speaker 8: want to come to my wonderful country?
• 3:04:46
  Speaker 10: Well?
• 3:04:46
  Speaker 8: Indeed I do, But I warn you, my little dear,
• 3:04:52
  Speaker 8: there's no more room in the wagon. It's full. Never mind,
• 3:04:58
  Speaker 8: answered lamp Wick. If the there's no room inside, I
• 3:05:01
  Speaker 8: can sit on top of the coach, and with one leap,
• 3:05:05
  Speaker 8: he perched himself there. What about you, my love, asked
• 3:05:10
  Speaker 8: the little man, turning politely to Pinocchio, what are you
• 3:05:14
  Speaker 8: going to do? Will you come with us? Or will
• 3:05:18
  Speaker 8: you stay here? Oh? I stay here, answered Pinocchio. I
• 3:05:25
  Speaker 8: want to return home, but I prefer to study and
• 3:05:32
  Speaker 8: to succeed in life. May that bring you luck? Pinocchio?
• 3:05:40
  Speaker 8: Lamp Wick called out. Listen to me, Come with us,
• 3:05:43
  Speaker 8: we will always be happy. Oh, no, no, no, Come
• 3:05:53
  Speaker 8: with us, and we'll always be happy, cried four other
• 3:05:56
  Speaker 8: voices from the wagon. Come with us, said, we'll always
• 3:06:00
  Speaker 8: be happy, shouted the one hundred and more boys in
• 3:06:03
  Speaker 8: the wagon all together. And if I go with you,
• 3:06:08
  Speaker 8: what will my good fairy say, asked Pinocchio, who was
• 3:06:13
  Speaker 8: beginning to waver and weaken in his good resolutions. Oh,
• 3:06:19
  Speaker 8: don't worry so much. Only think that we are going
• 3:06:23
  Speaker 8: to a land where we shall be allowed to make
• 3:06:25
  Speaker 8: all the racket we like from morning till night. Pinocchio
• 3:06:31
  Speaker 8: did not answer, but sighed deeply, once, twice a third time.
• 3:06:40
  Speaker 8: Finally he said, make room for me. I want to
• 3:06:43
  Speaker 8: go too. The seats are all filled, answered the little man.
• 3:06:50
  Speaker 8: But to show you how much I think of you,
• 3:06:53
  Speaker 8: take my place as coachman. Well, and you I'll walk well. No, indeed,
• 3:07:03
  Speaker 8: I could not permit such a thing. I much prefer
• 3:07:07
  Speaker 8: riding one of these donkeys, cried Pinocchio, And no sooner
• 3:07:11
  Speaker 8: said than done. He approached the first donkey and tried
• 3:07:15
  Speaker 8: to mount it, but the little animal turned suddenly and
• 3:07:18
  Speaker 8: gave him such a terrible kick in the stomach that
• 3:07:21
  Speaker 8: Pinocchio was thrown to the ground and fell with his
• 3:07:24
  Speaker 8: legs in the air. At this unlooked for entertainment, the
• 3:07:28
  Speaker 8: whole company of runaways laughed uproariously. The little fat man
• 3:07:34
  Speaker 8: did not laugh. He went up to the rebellious animal, and,
• 3:07:38
  Speaker 8: still smiling, bent over him lovingly and bit off half
• 3:07:43
  Speaker 8: his right ear. In the meantime, Pinocchio lifted himself up
• 3:07:49
  Speaker 8: from the ground and with one leap, landed on the
• 3:07:52
  Speaker 8: donkey's back. The leap was so well taken that all
• 3:07:55
  Speaker 8: the boys shouted Hurrah for Pinocchio and clapped their hand
• 3:08:00
  Speaker 8: and hearty applause. Suddenly, the little donkey gave a kick
• 3:08:04
  Speaker 8: with his two hind feet, and at this unexpected move,
• 3:08:08
  Speaker 8: Pinocchio found himself once again sprawling right in the middle
• 3:08:13
  Speaker 8: of the road. Again the boys shouted with laughter. But
• 3:08:17
  Speaker 8: the little man, instead of laughing, became so loving toward
• 3:08:24
  Speaker 8: the little animal that with another kiss, he bit off
• 3:08:29
  Speaker 8: half his left ear. You can mount now, my boy,
• 3:08:34
  Speaker 8: he then said to Pinocchio. Have no fear. That donkey
• 3:08:39
  Speaker 8: was worried about something, but I have spoken to him,
• 3:08:43
  Speaker 8: and now he seems quiet and reasonable. Pinocchio mounted and
• 3:08:50
  Speaker 8: the wagon started on its way, while the donkeys galloped
• 3:08:56
  Speaker 8: along the stony road. Pinocchio fancied, he heard a very
• 3:09:01
  Speaker 8: quiet voice whispering to him, poor, silly, you have done
• 3:09:09
  Speaker 8: as you wished, but you are going to be a
• 3:09:13
  Speaker 8: sorry boy before long. Pinocchio, greatly frightened, looked about him
• 3:09:20
  Speaker 8: to see whence the words had come, but he saw
• 3:09:23
  Speaker 8: no one. The donkeys galloped, the wagon rolled along smoothly,
• 3:09:28
  Speaker 8: the boys slept, lamp Wick snored like a dormouse, and
• 3:09:33
  Speaker 8: the little fat man sang sleepily between his teeth. After
• 3:09:39
  Speaker 8: a mile or so, Pinocchio again heard the same faint
• 3:09:44
  Speaker 8: voice whispering, Remember, little simpleton boys who stopped studying and
• 3:09:54
  Speaker 8: turned their backs upon books and schools and teachers, and
• 3:09:59
  Speaker 8: are to give all their time to nonsense and pleasure.
• 3:10:04
  Speaker 8: Sooner or later come to grief. Oh, how how well
• 3:10:10
  Speaker 8: I know this, How well I can prove it to you?
• 3:10:13
  Speaker 8: A day will come when you will weep bitterly. Even
• 3:10:19
  Speaker 8: I am weeping now, But it will be too late.
• 3:10:25
  Speaker 8: At these whispered words, Pinocchio grew more and more frightened.
• 3:10:29
  Speaker 8: He jumped to the ground, ran up to the donkey
• 3:10:32
  Speaker 8: on whose back he had been riding and taking his
• 3:10:35
  Speaker 8: nose in his hands, looked at him. Think how great
• 3:10:38
  Speaker 8: was his surprise when he saw the donkey was weeping,
• 3:10:43
  Speaker 8: weeping just like a boy. Hey, mister driver, cried Pinocchio,
• 3:10:49
  Speaker 8: Do you know what strange thing is happening here? This
• 3:10:52
  Speaker 8: donkey weeps? Let him weep. When he gets married, he
• 3:10:59
  Speaker 8: will have to laugh. Have you perhaps taught him to speak? Now?
• 3:11:06
  Speaker 8: He learned to mumble a few words when he lived
• 3:11:09
  Speaker 8: for three years with a band of trained dogs. Poor beast, come, come,
• 3:11:17
  Speaker 8: said the little man. Do not lose time over a
• 3:11:21
  Speaker 8: donkey that can weep. Mount quickly and let us go.
• 3:11:26
  Speaker 8: The night is cool and the road is long. Pinocchio
• 3:11:32
  Speaker 8: obeyed without another word. The wagon started again toward dawn.
• 3:11:38
  Speaker 8: The next morning, they finally reached that much longed for country,
• 3:11:44
  Speaker 8: the Land of Toys. This great land was entirely different
• 3:11:48
  Speaker 8: from any other place in the world. Its population, large,
• 3:11:52
  Speaker 8: though it was, was composed wholly of boys. The oldest
• 3:11:58
  Speaker 8: were about fourteen years of age, the youngest eight. In
• 3:12:03
  Speaker 8: the street, there was such a racket, such shouting, such
• 3:12:07
  Speaker 8: blowing of trumpets, that it was deafening. Everywhere. Groups of
• 3:12:11
  Speaker 8: boys were gathered together Some played at marbles, at hopscotch,
• 3:12:16
  Speaker 8: at ball. Others rode on bicycles or on wooden horses.
• 3:12:20
  Speaker 8: Some played at blind Man's bluff, some at tag. Here
• 3:12:26
  Speaker 8: a group played circus, another sang and recited. A few
• 3:12:31
  Speaker 8: turned somersaults. Others walked on their hands with their feet
• 3:12:35
  Speaker 8: in the air. Generals in full uniform leading regiments of
• 3:12:40
  Speaker 8: cardboard soldiers passed by. Laughter, shrieks, howls, catcalls, hand clapping
• 3:12:47
  Speaker 8: followed this parade. One boy made a noise like a hen,
• 3:12:51
  Speaker 8: another like a rooster, and a third imitated a lion
• 3:12:55
  Speaker 8: in his den. Altogether they created such a pandemonium it
• 3:13:01
  Speaker 8: that it would have been necessary for you to put
• 3:13:03
  Speaker 8: cotton in your ears. These squares were filled with small
• 3:13:07
  Speaker 8: wooden theaters, overflowing with boys from morning till night. And
• 3:13:13
  Speaker 8: on the wall of the houses, written in charcoal were
• 3:13:17
  Speaker 8: words like these, Hurrah of the land of toys. Down
• 3:13:23
  Speaker 8: with arithmetic, no more school. As soon as they had
• 3:13:29
  Speaker 8: set foot in that land, Pinocchio, lamp Wick and all
• 3:13:33
  Speaker 8: the other boys who had traveled with them started out
• 3:13:36
  Speaker 8: on a tour of investigation. They wandered everywhere, They looked
• 3:13:41
  Speaker 8: into every nook and corner house and theater. They became
• 3:13:45
  Speaker 8: everybody's friend, who could be happier than they, what with
• 3:13:51
  Speaker 8: entertainments and parties. The hours, the days, the weeks passed
• 3:13:57
  Speaker 8: like lightning. Oh what a beautiful place this is, said
• 3:14:02
  Speaker 8: Pinocchio each time that by chance he met his friend's
• 3:14:06
  Speaker 8: lamp Wick. Was I right or wrong? Answered lamp Wick.
• 3:14:11
  Speaker 8: And to think that you did not want to come,
• 3:14:14
  Speaker 8: to think that, even yesterday, that idea came into your
• 3:14:17
  Speaker 8: head to return home to see your fairy and to
• 3:14:22
  Speaker 8: to let her start you studying again. If if today
• 3:14:26
  Speaker 8: you are free from pencils and books and schools, you
• 3:14:29
  Speaker 8: owe it to me, to my advice, to my care.
• 3:14:33
  Speaker 8: Do you admit it? Only true friends counts? After all,
• 3:14:38
  Speaker 8: it's true, lamp Wick, it's true. If today I am
• 3:14:41
  Speaker 8: really a happy boy, it is all because of you.
• 3:14:45
  Speaker 8: And to think that the teacher, when speaking of you,
• 3:14:49
  Speaker 8: used to say, do not go with that lamp Wick.
• 3:14:52
  Speaker 8: He is a bad companion, and someday he will lead
• 3:14:55
  Speaker 8: you astray. A poor teacher, answered lamp Wick his head. Indeed,
• 3:15:01
  Speaker 8: I know how much he disliked me, and how he
• 3:15:04
  Speaker 8: enjoyed speaking ill of me. But I am I am
• 3:15:09
  Speaker 8: a generous person, and I gladly forgive him. Well, you
• 3:15:14
  Speaker 8: are a great soul, said Pinocchio, fondly, embracing his friend.
• 3:15:21
  Speaker 8: Five months passed, and the boys continued playing and enjoying
• 3:15:26
  Speaker 8: themselves from morning till night, without ever seeing a book,
• 3:15:32
  Speaker 8: or a desk or a school. But my children, there
• 3:15:39
  Speaker 8: came a morning when Pinocchio awoke and found a great
• 3:15:44
  Speaker 8: surprise awaiting him, a surprise which made him feel very unhappy,
• 3:15:53
  Speaker 8: as you shall see end of chapter thirty one chapter
• 3:16:04
  Speaker 8: thirty two, in which Pinocchio's ears become like those of
• 3:16:10
  Speaker 8: a donkey. In a little while he changes into a
• 3:16:15
  Speaker 8: real donkey and begins to bray. Every One, at one
• 3:16:22
  Speaker 8: time or another, has found some surprise awaiting him of
• 3:16:28
  Speaker 8: the kind which Pinocchio had on that eventful morning of
• 3:16:32
  Speaker 8: his life. There are but few wh what was it? Well,
• 3:16:38
  Speaker 8: I will tell you, my dear little listeners. On awakening,
• 3:16:43
  Speaker 8: Pinocchio put his hand up to his head, and there
• 3:16:47
  Speaker 8: he found guess. He found that during the night his
• 3:16:53
  Speaker 8: ears had grown at least ten full inches. You must
• 3:17:00
  Speaker 8: know that Pinocchio, even from his birth, had very small ears,
• 3:17:07
  Speaker 8: so small indeed that to the naked eye they could
• 3:17:10
  Speaker 8: hardly be seen. Fancy how he felt when he noticed
• 3:17:15
  Speaker 8: that overnight those two dainty organs had become as long
• 3:17:20
  Speaker 8: as shoe brushes. He went in search of a mirror,
• 3:17:26
  Speaker 8: but not finding any, he just filled a basin with
• 3:17:29
  Speaker 8: water and looked at himself. And there he saw what
• 3:17:33
  Speaker 8: he never could have wished to see. His manly figure
• 3:17:38
  Speaker 8: was adorned and enriched by a beautiful pair of donkey's ears.
• 3:17:45
  Speaker 8: I leave you to think of the terrible grief, the shame,
• 3:17:49
  Speaker 8: the despair of the poor marionette. He began to cry,
• 3:17:56
  Speaker 8: to scream, to knock his head against the wall. But
• 3:18:00
  Speaker 8: the more he shrieked, the longer and the more hairy
• 3:18:04
  Speaker 8: grew his ears. At those piercing shrieks, a dormouse came
• 3:18:10
  Speaker 8: into the room, a fat little dormouse who lived upstairs.
• 3:18:15
  Speaker 8: Seeing Pinocchio so grief stricken, she asked him anxiously, what
• 3:18:21
  Speaker 8: is the matter, dear little neighbor. I am sick, my
• 3:18:27
  Speaker 8: little dormouse, very very sick, and from an illness which
• 3:18:31
  Speaker 8: frightens me. Do you understand how to feel the pulse?
• 3:18:37
  Speaker 8: A little? Feel mine? Then, and tell me if I
• 3:18:41
  Speaker 8: have a fever. The dormouse took Pinocchio's wrist between her paws,
• 3:18:49
  Speaker 8: and after a few minutes, looked up at him sorrowfully
• 3:18:55
  Speaker 8: and said, my friend, I am sorry, but I must
• 3:19:01
  Speaker 8: give you some very sad news.
• 3:19:06
  Speaker 5: What is it?
• 3:19:09
  Speaker 8: You have a very bad fever. But what fever is it?
• 3:19:17
  Speaker 8: The donkey fever? I don't know anything about that fever,
• 3:19:23
  Speaker 8: answered Pinocchio, beginning to understand even too well what was
• 3:19:28
  Speaker 8: happening to him. Well, then i'll tell you all about it,
• 3:19:32
  Speaker 8: said the dormouse. Know then that within two or three
• 3:19:38
  Speaker 8: hours you will no longer be a marionette, nor a boy,
• 3:19:45
  Speaker 8: or what shall I be? Within two or three hours
• 3:19:50
  Speaker 8: you will become like a real donkey, just like the
• 3:19:54
  Speaker 8: ones that pull the fruit carts to market.
• 3:19:58
  Speaker 17: What have I done?
• 3:19:59
  Speaker 8: What a why dumb? Cried Pinocchio, grasping his long ears
• 3:20:04
  Speaker 8: in his hands and pulling and tugging at them angrily,
• 3:20:09
  Speaker 8: just as if they belonged to another. My dear boy,
• 3:20:14
  Speaker 8: answered the dormouse, to cheer him up a bit. Oh,
• 3:20:16
  Speaker 8: why worry now? What is done cannot be undone. You know,
• 3:20:21
  Speaker 8: Fate has decreed that all lazy boys who come to
• 3:20:25
  Speaker 8: hate books and schools and teachers spend all their days
• 3:20:29
  Speaker 8: with toys and games, much sooner or later turn into donkeys.
• 3:20:37
  Speaker 8: But is it really so, asked Pinocchio, sobbing bitterly. I'm
• 3:20:43
  Speaker 8: sorry to say it is, and tears are now useless.
• 3:20:47
  Speaker 8: You should have thought of this long before. But the
• 3:20:53
  Speaker 8: fault is not mine, believe me, little dormouse. The fault
• 3:20:58
  Speaker 8: is all lamp Wicks. Who is this lamp Wick. He's
• 3:21:03
  Speaker 8: a classmate of mine. I wanted to return home. I
• 3:21:08
  Speaker 8: wanted to be obedient. I wanted to study and to
• 3:21:11
  Speaker 8: succeed in school. But lamp Wick said to me, why
• 3:21:15
  Speaker 8: do you waste your time studying? Why do you want
• 3:21:18
  Speaker 8: to go to school? Come with me to the land
• 3:21:21
  Speaker 8: of toys. There will never study again. There we can
• 3:21:24
  Speaker 8: enjoy ourselves and be happy from morn till night. And
• 3:21:31
  Speaker 8: why did you follow the advice of that false friend.
• 3:21:35
  Speaker 8: Why because, my dear little muster dormouse, I I am
• 3:21:40
  Speaker 8: a heedless marionette, heedless and heartless. Oh, if I only
• 3:21:44
  Speaker 8: had a bit of heart, I should never have abandoned
• 3:21:47
  Speaker 8: that good fairy who loved me so well, and who
• 3:21:51
  Speaker 8: has been so kind to me. And by this time
• 3:21:56
  Speaker 8: I should.
• 3:21:57
  Speaker 4: No longer be a Marionette, I.
• 3:21:59
  Speaker 8: Should be a real oh boy like all these friends
• 3:22:03
  Speaker 8: of mine. Oh. If I meet lamp Wick, I am
• 3:22:08
  Speaker 8: going to tell him what I think of him, and
• 3:22:10
  Speaker 8: more too. After this long speech, Pinocchio walked to the
• 3:22:17
  Speaker 8: door of the room, but when he reached it, remembering
• 3:22:21
  Speaker 8: his donkey ears, he felt ashamed to show them in
• 3:22:25
  Speaker 8: public and turn back. He took a large cotton bag
• 3:22:30
  Speaker 8: from a shelf, put it on his head, and pulled
• 3:22:33
  Speaker 8: it far down to his very nose, and thus adorned,
• 3:22:39
  Speaker 8: he went out. He looked for lamp Wick everywhere along
• 3:22:44
  Speaker 8: the streets, in the squares, inside the theaters, everywhere, but
• 3:22:50
  Speaker 8: he was not to be found. He asked everyone who
• 3:22:54
  Speaker 8: he met, but no one had seen him. In desperation,
• 3:22:59
  Speaker 8: he turned home and knocked at the door. Who is it,
• 3:23:05
  Speaker 8: asked lamp Wick. From within, it is, I answered Pinocchio.
• 3:23:11
  Speaker 8: Wait a minute. After a full half hour, the door opened.
• 3:23:21
  Speaker 8: Another surprise awaited Pinocchio. There in the room stood his
• 3:23:25
  Speaker 8: friend with a large cotton bag on his head, pulled
• 3:23:31
  Speaker 8: down to his very nose. At the sight of that bag,
• 3:23:36
  Speaker 8: Pinocchio felt slightly happier and thought to himself, my friend
• 3:23:43
  Speaker 8: must be suffering from the same sickness.
• 3:23:46
  Speaker 13: That I am.
• 3:23:47
  Speaker 8: I wonder if he too has donkey fever. But, pretending
• 3:23:52
  Speaker 8: he had seen nothing, he asked with a smile. No,
• 3:23:56
  Speaker 8: how are you, my dear lamp Wick, Well like a
• 3:24:01
  Speaker 8: mouse in a parmesan cheese? Is that really true? Why
• 3:24:07
  Speaker 8: should I lie to you?
• 3:24:10
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 3:24:10
  Speaker 8: I beg your pardon, my friend. But why any of
• 3:24:14
  Speaker 8: you wearing that cotton bag over your ears?
• 3:24:18
  Speaker 14: Uh?
• 3:24:18
  Speaker 8: The doctor has ordered it because one of my knees hurts.
• 3:24:23
  Speaker 8: And you, dear Pinocchio, why are you wearing that cotton
• 3:24:29
  Speaker 8: bag down on your nose? The doctor has ordered it
• 3:24:34
  Speaker 8: because I have a bruised foot. Oh my, poor Pinocchio,
• 3:24:41
  Speaker 8: Oh my poor lamp Wick. An embarrassingly long silence followed
• 3:24:50
  Speaker 8: these words, during which time the two friends looked at
• 3:24:54
  Speaker 8: each other in a mocking way. Finally, Pinocchi, in a
• 3:25:01
  Speaker 8: voice sweet as honey and soft as a flute, said
• 3:25:05
  Speaker 8: to his companion, tell me, lamp Wick, dear friend, have
• 3:25:14
  Speaker 8: you ever suffered from an earache?
• 3:25:20
  Speaker 4: Never?
• 3:25:21
  Speaker 8: And you never? Still? Since this morning, my ear has
• 3:25:29
  Speaker 8: been torturing me. So is mine you as too? Which
• 3:25:37
  Speaker 8: year is it? Both of them and yours? Both of
• 3:25:42
  Speaker 8: them too? I wonder if it could be the same sickness.
• 3:25:48
  Speaker 8: I'm afraid it is. Will you do me a favor,
• 3:25:53
  Speaker 8: lamp Wick, ladly, with my whole heart? Will you let
• 3:25:58
  Speaker 8: me see your ears? Why not?
• 3:26:02
  Speaker 4: Ah?
• 3:26:02
  Speaker 8: But before I show you mine, I want to see yours,
• 3:26:07
  Speaker 8: dear Pinocchio, No, you must show yours first. Oh, No,
• 3:26:14
  Speaker 8: my dear, yours first, then mine. Well, then said Pinocchio,
• 3:26:22
  Speaker 8: let us make a contract. Well, let's hear the contract.
• 3:26:28
  Speaker 8: Let us take off our caps together, all right, all right? Ready?
• 3:26:36
  Speaker 8: Then Pinocchio began to count one, two, three, and at
• 3:26:43
  Speaker 8: the word three, the two boys pulled off their caps
• 3:26:47
  Speaker 8: and threw them high in the air. And then a
• 3:26:52
  Speaker 8: scene took place which is hard to believe, but it
• 3:26:56
  Speaker 8: is all too true. Pinocchio and his friend lamp Wick,
• 3:27:02
  Speaker 8: when they saw each other, both stricken by the same misfortune,
• 3:27:08
  Speaker 8: instead of feeling sorrowful and ashamed, began to poke fun
• 3:27:13
  Speaker 8: at each other, and after much nonsense, they ended by
• 3:27:17
  Speaker 8: bursting out into hearty laughter. They laughed and laughed, and
• 3:27:22
  Speaker 8: laughed and laughed again, and laughed until they ached, laughed
• 3:27:26
  Speaker 8: until they cried. But all of a sudden, lamp Wick
• 3:27:32
  Speaker 8: stopped laughing. He tottered and almost fell pale as a ghost.
• 3:27:38
  Speaker 8: He turned to Pinocchio and said, help, help, Pinocchio, what's
• 3:27:42
  Speaker 8: the matter?
• 3:27:43
  Speaker 4: Oh help me?
• 3:27:43
  Speaker 8: Ah, I can't stand up. I can't either, cried Pinocchio,
• 3:27:48
  Speaker 8: and his laughter turned to tears as he stumbled about helplessly.
• 3:27:54
  Speaker 8: They had hardly finished speaking when both of them fell
• 3:27:57
  Speaker 8: on all fours and began running and jumping around the room.
• 3:28:01
  Speaker 8: And as they ran, their arms turned into legs, their
• 3:28:05
  Speaker 8: faces lengthened into snouts, and their backs became covered with
• 3:28:10
  Speaker 8: long gray hairs. This was humiliation enough, but the most
• 3:28:18
  Speaker 8: horrible moment was the one in which the two poor
• 3:28:22
  Speaker 8: creatures felt their tails appear. Overcome with shame and grief,
• 3:28:29
  Speaker 8: they tried to cry and bemoan their fate, but what
• 3:28:34
  Speaker 8: is done can't be undone. Instead of moans and cries,
• 3:28:40
  Speaker 8: they burst forth into loud donkey brays, which sounded very
• 3:28:46
  Speaker 8: much like e aw e aw e aw And at
• 3:28:51
  Speaker 8: that moment, a loud knocking was heard at the door,
• 3:28:55
  Speaker 8: and a voice called to them, apin, I am the
• 3:29:01
  Speaker 8: little man, the driver of the wagon which brought you here. Oben,
• 3:29:09
  Speaker 8: I say well beware. End of Chapter thirty two.
• 3:29:19
  Speaker 6: Chapter thirty three Pinocchio, having become a donkey, is bought
• 3:29:25
  Speaker 6: by the owner of a circus who wants to teach
• 3:29:27
  Speaker 6: him to do tricks. The donkey becomes lame and is
• 3:29:30
  Speaker 6: sold to a man who wants to use his skin
• 3:29:33
  Speaker 6: for a drumhead. Very sad and downcast were the two
• 3:29:38
  Speaker 6: poor little fellows as they stood and looked at each
• 3:29:41
  Speaker 6: other outside the room. The little man grew more and
• 3:29:45
  Speaker 6: more impatient, and finally gave the door such a violent
• 3:29:48
  Speaker 6: kick that it flew open. With his usual sweet smile
• 3:29:53
  Speaker 6: on his lips, he looked at Pinocchio and lamp Wick
• 3:29:57
  Speaker 6: and said to them, fine work boys. You have brayed well,
• 3:30:01
  Speaker 6: so well that I recognized your voices immediately, and here
• 3:30:04
  Speaker 6: I am. On hearing this, the two donkeys bowed their
• 3:30:09
  Speaker 6: heads in shame, dropped their ears, and put their tails
• 3:30:13
  Speaker 6: between their legs. At first, the little man petted and
• 3:30:17
  Speaker 6: caressed them, and smoothed down their hairy coats. Then he
• 3:30:22
  Speaker 6: took out a curry comb and worked over them till
• 3:30:25
  Speaker 6: they shone like glass. Satisfied with the looks of the
• 3:30:29
  Speaker 6: two little animals, he bridled them and took them to
• 3:30:32
  Speaker 6: a market place far away from the land of toys
• 3:30:35
  Speaker 6: in the hope of selling them at a good price.
• 3:30:38
  Speaker 6: In fact, he did not have to wait very long
• 3:30:41
  Speaker 6: for an offer. Lamp Wick was bought by a farmer
• 3:30:43
  Speaker 6: whose donkey had died the day before. Pinocchio went to
• 3:30:48
  Speaker 6: the owner of a circus who wanted to teach him
• 3:30:50
  Speaker 6: to do tricks for his audiences. And now do you
• 3:30:55
  Speaker 6: understand what the little man's profession was. This horrid little being,
• 3:30:59
  Speaker 6: whose his face shone with kindness, went about the world
• 3:31:03
  Speaker 6: looking for boys. Lazy boys, boys who hated books, boys
• 3:31:08
  Speaker 6: who wanted to run away from home, boys who were
• 3:31:10
  Speaker 6: tired of school. All these were his joy and his fortune.
• 3:31:17
  Speaker 6: He took them with him to the land of toys
• 3:31:19
  Speaker 6: and let them enjoy themselves to their hearts content. When
• 3:31:23
  Speaker 6: after months of all play and no work they became
• 3:31:26
  Speaker 6: little donkeys, he sold them on the marketplace. In a
• 3:31:30
  Speaker 6: few years he had become a millionaire. What happened to
• 3:31:35
  Speaker 6: lamp Wick, my dear children, I do not know. Pinocchio,
• 3:31:40
  Speaker 6: I can tell you met with great hardships even from
• 3:31:43
  Speaker 6: the first day. After putting him in a stable, his
• 3:31:48
  Speaker 6: new master filled his manger with straw. But Pinocchio, after
• 3:31:52
  Speaker 6: tasting a mouthful spat it out. Then the man filled
• 3:31:57
  Speaker 6: the manger with hay. But Pinocchio did not like that
• 3:32:00
  Speaker 6: any better. Ah, you don't like hay either, he cried angrily. Wait,
• 3:32:05
  Speaker 6: my pretty donkey, I'll teach you not to be so particular.
• 3:32:10
  Speaker 6: Without more ado, he took a whip and gave the
• 3:32:13
  Speaker 6: donkey a hearty blow across the legs. Pinocchio screamed with pain,
• 3:32:18
  Speaker 6: and as he screamed, he brayed, Haw haw haw, I
• 3:32:22
  Speaker 6: can't digest straw, then eat the hay, answered his master,
• 3:32:27
  Speaker 6: who understood the donkey perfectly. Haw haw haw, hay gives
• 3:32:33
  Speaker 6: me a headache. Do you pretend, by any chance that
• 3:32:37
  Speaker 6: I should feed you duck or chicken? Asked the man again,
• 3:32:41
  Speaker 6: and angrier than ever, he gave poor Pinocchio another lashing.
• 3:32:46
  Speaker 6: At that second beating, Pinocchio became very quiet and said
• 3:32:49
  Speaker 6: no more. After that, the door of the stable was
• 3:32:54
  Speaker 6: closed and he was left alone. It was many hours
• 3:32:58
  Speaker 6: since he had eaten anything had He started to yawn
• 3:33:01
  Speaker 6: from hunger. As he yawned, he opened a mouth as
• 3:33:05
  Speaker 6: big as an oven. Finally, not finding anything else in
• 3:33:10
  Speaker 6: the manger, he tasted the hay. After tasting it, he
• 3:33:14
  Speaker 6: chewed it well, closed his eyes, and swallowed it. This
• 3:33:19
  Speaker 6: hay is not bad, he said to himself. But how
• 3:33:22
  Speaker 6: much happier I should be if I had studied just
• 3:33:25
  Speaker 6: now instead of hay, I should be eating some good
• 3:33:28
  Speaker 6: bread and butter patience. Next morning, when he awoke, Pinocchio
• 3:33:35
  Speaker 6: looked in the manger for more hay, but it was
• 3:33:37
  Speaker 6: all gone. He had eaten it all during the night.
• 3:33:41
  Speaker 6: He tried the straw, but as he chewed away at it,
• 3:33:44
  Speaker 6: he noticed, to his great disappointment that it tasted neither
• 3:33:47
  Speaker 6: like rice nor like macaroni. Patience, he repeated as he chewed.
• 3:33:53
  Speaker 6: If only my misfortune might serve as a lesson to
• 3:33:55
  Speaker 6: disobedient boys who refused to study, patience, have patience. Patience, indeed,
• 3:34:02
  Speaker 6: shouted his master just then as he came into the stable.
• 3:34:06
  Speaker 6: Do you think, perhaps, my little donkey, that I have
• 3:34:08
  Speaker 6: brought you here only to give you food and drink?
• 3:34:10
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 3:34:11
  Speaker 6: No, you are to help me earn some fine gold pieces,
• 3:34:14
  Speaker 6: do you hear? Come along now, I am going to
• 3:34:16
  Speaker 6: teach you to jump and bow, to doubt, to waltz
• 3:34:19
  Speaker 6: at a poker, and even to stand on your head.
• 3:34:23
  Speaker 6: Poor Pinocchio, whether he liked it or not, had to
• 3:34:26
  Speaker 6: learn all these wonderful things. But it took him three
• 3:34:29
  Speaker 6: long months and cost him many many lashings before he
• 3:34:33
  Speaker 6: was pronounced perfect. The day came at last when Pinocchio's
• 3:34:38
  Speaker 6: master was able to announce an extraordinary performance. The announcements,
• 3:34:44
  Speaker 6: posted all around the town and written in large letters,
• 3:34:47
  Speaker 6: read thus, great spectacle, tonight, leaps and exercises by the
• 3:34:52
  Speaker 6: great artists and the famous horses of the company, first
• 3:34:56
  Speaker 6: public appearance of the famous donkey called Pinocchio, the Star
• 3:35:01
  Speaker 6: of the Dance. The theater will be as light as day.
• 3:35:06
  Speaker 4: That night.
• 3:35:07
  Speaker 6: As you can well imagine, the theater was filled to
• 3:35:10
  Speaker 6: overflowing one hour before the show was scheduled to start.
• 3:35:14
  Speaker 6: Not an orchestra chair could be had, not a balcony seat,
• 3:35:18
  Speaker 6: nor a gallery seat, not even for their weight in gold.
• 3:35:22
  Speaker 6: The place swarmed with boys and girls of all ages
• 3:35:25
  Speaker 6: and sizes, wriggling and dancing about in a fever of
• 3:35:28
  Speaker 6: impatience to see the famous donkey dance. When the first
• 3:35:33
  Speaker 6: part of the performance was over, the owner and manager
• 3:35:36
  Speaker 6: of the circus, in a black coat, white knee breeches,
• 3:35:40
  Speaker 6: and patent leather boots, presented himself to the public, and
• 3:35:44
  Speaker 6: in a loud, pompous voice, made the following announcement, Most
• 3:35:48
  Speaker 6: honored friends, gentlemen and ladies, your humble servant, the manager
• 3:35:53
  Speaker 6: of this theater, presents himself before you tonight, in order
• 3:35:57
  Speaker 6: to introduce to you the greatest, the most famous donkey
• 3:36:00
  Speaker 6: in the world, a donkey that has had the great
• 3:36:03
  Speaker 6: honor in his short life of performing before the kings
• 3:36:06
  Speaker 6: and queens and emperors of all the great courts of Europe.
• 3:36:10
  Speaker 6: We thank you for your attention. This speech was greeted
• 3:36:15
  Speaker 6: by much laughter and applause, and the applause grew to
• 3:36:19
  Speaker 6: a roar. When Pinocchio, the famous donkey appeared in the
• 3:36:22
  Speaker 6: circus ring, he was handsomely arrayed. A new bridle of
• 3:36:28
  Speaker 6: shining leather with buckles of polished brass, was on his back.
• 3:36:32
  Speaker 6: Two white camellias were tied to his ears. Ribbons and
• 3:36:36
  Speaker 6: tassels of red silk adorned his mane, which was divided
• 3:36:40
  Speaker 6: into many curls. A great sash of gold and silver
• 3:36:44
  Speaker 6: was fastened around his waist, and his tail was decorated
• 3:36:47
  Speaker 6: with ribbons of many brilliant colors. He was a handsome donkey. Indeed,
• 3:36:53
  Speaker 6: the manager when introducing him to the public, added these words,
• 3:36:59
  Speaker 6: most audience, I shall not take your time to night
• 3:37:03
  Speaker 6: to tell you of the great difficulties which I have
• 3:37:05
  Speaker 6: encountered while trying to tame this animal. Since I found
• 3:37:08
  Speaker 6: him in the wilds of Africa. Observe I beg of
• 3:37:12
  Speaker 6: you the savage look of his eye. All the means
• 3:37:15
  Speaker 6: used by centuries of civilization in subduing wild beasts failed
• 3:37:19
  Speaker 6: in this case. I had finally to resort to the
• 3:37:23
  Speaker 6: gentle language of the whip in order to bring him
• 3:37:26
  Speaker 6: to my will with all my kindness. However, I never
• 3:37:30
  Speaker 6: succeeded in gaining my donkey's love. He is still to
• 3:37:34
  Speaker 6: day as savage as the day I found him. He
• 3:37:37
  Speaker 6: still fears and hates me. But I have found in
• 3:37:41
  Speaker 6: him one great redeeming feature. Do you see this little
• 3:37:45
  Speaker 6: bump on his forehead. It is this bump which gives
• 3:37:48
  Speaker 6: him the great talent of dancing and using his feet
• 3:37:52
  Speaker 6: as nimbly as a human being. Admire him, O signory,
• 3:37:57
  Speaker 6: and enjoy yourselves. I let you you now be the
• 3:38:01
  Speaker 6: judges of my success as a teacher of animals. Before
• 3:38:04
  Speaker 6: I leave you, I wish to state that there will
• 3:38:07
  Speaker 6: be another performance tomorrow night. If the weather threatens rain,
• 3:38:11
  Speaker 6: the great spectacle will take place at eleven o'clock in
• 3:38:14
  Speaker 6: the morning. The manager bowed and then turned to Pinocchio
• 3:38:19
  Speaker 6: and said, ready, Pinocchio, before starting your performance, salute your audience.
• 3:38:25
  Speaker 6: Pinocchio obediently bent his two knees to the ground and
• 3:38:29
  Speaker 6: remained kneeling until the manager, with the crack of the whip, cried,
• 3:38:33
  Speaker 6: sharply walk. The donkey lifted himself on his fore feet
• 3:38:38
  Speaker 6: and walked around the ring. A few minutes passed, and
• 3:38:42
  Speaker 6: again the voice of the manager called quickstep, and Pinocchio
• 3:38:47
  Speaker 6: obediently changed his step Gallop, and Pinocchio galloped full speed,
• 3:38:54
  Speaker 6: and Pinocchio ran as fast as he could. As he ran,
• 3:38:58
  Speaker 6: the master raised his arm and a pistol shot rang
• 3:39:01
  Speaker 6: in the air. At the shot, the little donkey fell
• 3:39:05
  Speaker 6: to the ground as if he were really dead. A
• 3:39:09
  Speaker 6: shower of applause greeted the donkey as he arose to
• 3:39:12
  Speaker 6: his feet. Cries and shouts and handclappings were heard on
• 3:39:16
  Speaker 6: all sides. At all that noise, Pinocchio lifted his head
• 3:39:21
  Speaker 6: and raised his eyes. There in front of him in
• 3:39:24
  Speaker 6: a box sat a beautiful woman around her neck she
• 3:39:29
  Speaker 6: wore a long gold chain from which hung a large medallion.
• 3:39:34
  Speaker 6: On the medallion was painted the picture of a marionette.
• 3:39:38
  Speaker 6: That picture's of me. That beautiful lady is my fairy,
• 3:39:42
  Speaker 6: said Pinocchio to himself, recognizing her. He felt so happy
• 3:39:46
  Speaker 6: that he tried his best to cry out, oh my fairy,
• 3:39:50
  Speaker 6: my own fairy. But instead of words, a loud braying
• 3:39:55
  Speaker 6: was heard in the theater, so loud and so long
• 3:39:59
  Speaker 6: that all the specter men, women and children, but especially
• 3:40:03
  Speaker 6: the children, burst out laughing. Then, in order to teach
• 3:40:08
  Speaker 6: the donkey that it was not good manners to bray
• 3:40:11
  Speaker 6: before the public, the manager hit him on the nose
• 3:40:14
  Speaker 6: with the handle of the whip. The poor little donkey
• 3:40:18
  Speaker 6: stuck out a long tongue and licked his nose for
• 3:40:20
  Speaker 6: a long time in an effort to take away the
• 3:40:23
  Speaker 6: pain and what was his grief? When, on looking up
• 3:40:27
  Speaker 6: toward the boxes, he saw that the fairy had disappeared,
• 3:40:33
  Speaker 6: he felt himself fainting, His eyes filled with tears, and
• 3:40:36
  Speaker 6: he wept bitterly. No one knew it, however, least of
• 3:40:41
  Speaker 6: all the manager, who, cracking his whip, cried out, Bravo, Pinocchio,
• 3:40:46
  Speaker 6: Now show us how gracefully you can jump through the rings.
• 3:40:51
  Speaker 6: Pinocchio tried two or three times, but each time he
• 3:40:55
  Speaker 6: came near the ring, he found it more to his
• 3:40:57
  Speaker 6: taste to go under it. Four time, at a look
• 3:41:01
  Speaker 6: from his master, he leaped through it, but as he
• 3:41:04
  Speaker 6: did so, his hind legs caught in the ring, and
• 3:41:07
  Speaker 6: he fell to the floor in a heap. When he
• 3:41:10
  Speaker 6: got up, he was lame and could hardly limp as
• 3:41:13
  Speaker 6: far as the stable Pinocchio, we want Pinocchio, we want
• 3:41:18
  Speaker 6: the little donkey, cried the boys from the orchestra. Saddened
• 3:41:22
  Speaker 6: by the accident. No one saw Pinocchio again that evening.
• 3:41:28
  Speaker 6: The next morning, the veterinary, that is, the animal doctor
• 3:41:32
  Speaker 6: declared that he would be lame for the rest of
• 3:41:34
  Speaker 6: his life. What do I want with a lame donkey,
• 3:41:38
  Speaker 6: said the manager to the stable boy. Take him to
• 3:41:41
  Speaker 6: the market and sell him. When they reached the square,
• 3:41:45
  Speaker 6: a buyer was soon found. How much do you ask
• 3:41:49
  Speaker 6: for that little lame donkey? He asked, four dollars. I'll
• 3:41:54
  Speaker 6: give you four cents. Don't think I'm buying him for work.
• 3:41:58
  Speaker 6: I want only his skin. It looked it's very tough
• 3:42:00
  Speaker 6: and I can use it to make myself a drumhead.
• 3:42:03
  Speaker 6: I belonged to a musical band in my village, and
• 3:42:06
  Speaker 6: I need a drum. I leave it to you, my
• 3:42:09
  Speaker 6: dear children, to picture to yourself the great pleasure with
• 3:42:12
  Speaker 6: which Pinocchio heard he was to become a drumhead. As
• 3:42:16
  Speaker 6: soon as the buyer had paid the four cents, the
• 3:42:19
  Speaker 6: donkey changed hands. His new owner took him to a
• 3:42:23
  Speaker 6: high cliff overlooking the sea, put a stone around his neck,
• 3:42:27
  Speaker 6: tied a rope to one of his hind feet, gave
• 3:42:30
  Speaker 6: him a push, and threw him into the water. Pinocchio
• 3:42:35
  Speaker 6: sank immediately, and his new master sat on the cliff
• 3:42:39
  Speaker 6: waiting for him to drown, so as to skin him
• 3:42:42
  Speaker 6: and make himself a drumhead. End of chapter thirty three.
• 3:42:50
  Speaker 10: Chapter thirty four, Pinocchio is thrown into the sea, eaten
• 3:42:54
  Speaker 10: by fishes, and becomes a marionette once more. As he
• 3:42:57
  Speaker 10: swims to land, he is swallowed by the tes arable shark.
• 3:43:02
  Speaker 10: Down into the sea. Deeper and deeper sank Pinocchio, and finally,
• 3:43:07
  Speaker 10: after fifty minutes of waiting, the man on the cliff
• 3:43:10
  Speaker 10: said to himself, by this time, my poor little lame
• 3:43:13
  Speaker 10: donkey must be drowned up with him, and then I
• 3:43:16
  Speaker 10: can get to work on my beautiful drum. He pulled
• 3:43:19
  Speaker 10: the rope which he had tied to Pinocchio's leg, pulled
• 3:43:22
  Speaker 10: and pulled and pulled, and at last he saw a
• 3:43:26
  Speaker 10: peer on the surface of the water. Can you guess what?
• 3:43:29
  Speaker 10: Instead of a dead donkey, he saw very much alive marionette,
• 3:43:33
  Speaker 10: wriggling and squirming like an eel. Seeing that wooden marionette,
• 3:43:37
  Speaker 10: the poor man thought he was dreaming, and sat there
• 3:43:40
  Speaker 10: with his mouth wide open and his eyes popping out
• 3:43:42
  Speaker 10: of his head. Gathering his wits together, he said, and
• 3:43:46
  Speaker 10: the donkey I threw into the sea, I am that donkey,
• 3:43:50
  Speaker 10: answered the marionette, laughing you. I ah, you little cheat.
• 3:43:56
  Speaker 10: Are you poking fun at me? Poking fun at you?
• 3:44:00
  Speaker 10: Not at all, dear master, I am talking seriously. But then,
• 3:44:05
  Speaker 10: how is it that you, who a few minutes ago
• 3:44:07
  Speaker 10: were a donkey, are now standing before me a wooden marionette.
• 3:44:11
  Speaker 10: It may be the effect of salt water. The sea
• 3:44:14
  Speaker 10: is fond of playing these traits. Be careful, Marionette, be careful,
• 3:44:18
  Speaker 10: don't laugh at me. Woe be to you if I
• 3:44:20
  Speaker 10: lose my patience. Well, then my master, Do you want
• 3:44:24
  Speaker 10: to know my whole story? Untie my leg, and I
• 3:44:27
  Speaker 10: can tell it to you better. The old fellow, curious
• 3:44:30
  Speaker 10: to know the true story of the marionette's life, immediately
• 3:44:33
  Speaker 10: untied the rope which held his foot. Pinocchio, feeling free
• 3:44:37
  Speaker 10: as a bird of the air, began his tail, know
• 3:44:40
  Speaker 10: then that once upon a time I was a wooden marionette,
• 3:44:44
  Speaker 10: just as I am to day. One day I was
• 3:44:47
  Speaker 10: about to become a boy, a real boy. But on
• 3:44:50
  Speaker 10: account of my laziness and my hatred of books, and
• 3:44:53
  Speaker 10: because I listened to bad companions, I ran away from home.
• 3:44:57
  Speaker 10: One beautiful morning, I awoke to find myself changed into
• 3:45:00
  Speaker 10: a donkey, long ears, gray coat, even a tail. What
• 3:45:04
  Speaker 10: a shameful day for me. I hope you will never
• 3:45:07
  Speaker 10: experience one like it, dear Master. I was taken to
• 3:45:10
  Speaker 10: the fair and sold to a circus owner who tried
• 3:45:13
  Speaker 10: to make me dance and jump through the rings. One night,
• 3:45:17
  Speaker 10: during a performance, I had a bad fall and became lame.
• 3:45:21
  Speaker 10: Not knowing what to do with a lame donkey, the
• 3:45:23
  Speaker 10: circus owner sent me to the market place, and you
• 3:45:25
  Speaker 10: bought me. Indeed I did, and I paid four cents
• 3:45:28
  Speaker 10: for you now, who will return my money to me?
• 3:45:31
  Speaker 10: But why did you buy me? You bought me to
• 3:45:34
  Speaker 10: do me harm, to kill me, to make a drumhead
• 3:45:37
  Speaker 10: out of me. Indeed I did, And now where shall
• 3:45:40
  Speaker 10: I find another skin? Never mind, dear master, there are
• 3:45:43
  Speaker 10: so many donkeys in this world. Tell me, impudent little rogue,
• 3:45:47
  Speaker 10: does your story end here? One more word? Answered the marionette,
• 3:45:51
  Speaker 10: and I am through. After buying me, you brought me
• 3:45:54
  Speaker 10: here to kill me, but feeling sorry for me, you
• 3:45:57
  Speaker 10: tied a stone to my neck and threw me to
• 3:45:59
  Speaker 10: the bottom of the sea. That was very good and
• 3:46:02
  Speaker 10: kind of you to want me to suffer as little
• 3:46:04
  Speaker 10: as possible. And I shall remember you always, And now
• 3:46:07
  Speaker 10: my fairy will take care of me, even if you
• 3:46:10
  Speaker 10: your fairy who is she? She is my mother, and
• 3:46:14
  Speaker 10: like all mothers who love their children, she never loses
• 3:46:16
  Speaker 10: sight of me, even though I do not deserve it.
• 3:46:19
  Speaker 10: And to day, this good fairy of mine, as soon
• 3:46:21
  Speaker 10: as she saw me in danger of drowning, sent a
• 3:46:24
  Speaker 10: thousand fishes to the spot where I lay. They thought
• 3:46:27
  Speaker 10: I was really a dead donkey, and began to eat me.
• 3:46:29
  Speaker 10: What great bites they took, one ate my ears another
• 3:46:32
  Speaker 10: my nose, a third my neck, and my mane. Some
• 3:46:36
  Speaker 10: went at my legs, and some at my back. And
• 3:46:39
  Speaker 10: among the others there was one tiny fish, so gentle
• 3:46:42
  Speaker 10: and polite that he did me the great favor of
• 3:46:44
  Speaker 10: eating even my tail. From now on, said the man, horrified.
• 3:46:48
  Speaker 10: I swear I shall never again taste fish. How I
• 3:46:51
  Speaker 10: should enjoy opening a mullet or a white fish just
• 3:46:54
  Speaker 10: to find there the tail of a dead donkey. I
• 3:46:57
  Speaker 10: think as you do, answered the marionette, laughing. Still, you
• 3:47:00
  Speaker 10: must know that when the fish finished eating my donkey coat,
• 3:47:04
  Speaker 10: which covered me from head to foot, they naturally came
• 3:47:06
  Speaker 10: to the bones, or rather, in my case, to the wood,
• 3:47:10
  Speaker 10: for as you know, I am made of very hard wood.
• 3:47:13
  Speaker 10: After the first few bites, those greedy fish found out
• 3:47:16
  Speaker 10: that the wood was not good for their teeth, and
• 3:47:18
  Speaker 10: afraid of indigestion, they turned and ran here and there
• 3:47:21
  Speaker 10: without saying good bye or even as much as thank
• 3:47:23
  Speaker 10: you to me. Here, dear master, you have my story.
• 3:47:28
  Speaker 10: You know now why you found a marionette and not
• 3:47:30
  Speaker 10: a dead donkey when you pulled me out of the water.
• 3:47:33
  Speaker 10: I laugh at your story, cried the man angrily. I
• 3:47:36
  Speaker 10: know that I spent four cents to get you, and
• 3:47:38
  Speaker 10: I want my money back.
• 3:47:39
  Speaker 13: Do you know what I can do.
• 3:47:41
  Speaker 10: I'm going to take you to the market once more
• 3:47:42
  Speaker 10: and sell you as dry firewood. Very well, sell me.
• 3:47:46
  Speaker 10: I am satisfied, said Pinocchio. But as he spoke, he
• 3:47:50
  Speaker 10: gave a quick leap and dived into the sea, swimming
• 3:47:53
  Speaker 10: away as fast as he could. He cried out, laughing,
• 3:47:55
  Speaker 10: goodbye master. If you ever need a skin for your drum,
• 3:47:58
  Speaker 10: remember me. He swam on and on. After a while
• 3:48:03
  Speaker 10: he turned around again and called, louder than before, goodbye master,
• 3:48:07
  Speaker 10: If you ever need a piece of good dry firewood,
• 3:48:09
  Speaker 10: remember me. In a few seconds, he had gone so
• 3:48:13
  Speaker 10: far he could hardly be seen. All that could be
• 3:48:15
  Speaker 10: seen of him was a very small black dot moving
• 3:48:18
  Speaker 10: swiftly on the blue surface of the water, A little
• 3:48:21
  Speaker 10: black dot which now and then lifted a leg or
• 3:48:23
  Speaker 10: an arm in the air. One would have thought that
• 3:48:25
  Speaker 10: Pinocchio had turned into a porpoise playing in the sun.
• 3:48:29
  Speaker 10: After swimming for a long time, Pinocchio saw a large
• 3:48:32
  Speaker 10: rock in the middle of the sea, a rock as
• 3:48:34
  Speaker 10: white as marble. High on the rock stood a little goat,
• 3:48:38
  Speaker 10: bleating and calling and beckoning, to the marionette to come
• 3:48:40
  Speaker 10: to her. There was something very strange about that little goat.
• 3:48:45
  Speaker 10: Her coat was not white or black or brown, as
• 3:48:48
  Speaker 10: that of any other goat, but azure, a deep, brilliant
• 3:48:51
  Speaker 10: color that reminded one of the hair of the lovely maiden.
• 3:48:55
  Speaker 10: Pinocchio's heart beat fast and then faster and faster. He
• 3:48:59
  Speaker 10: redoubled his efforts and swam as hard as he could
• 3:49:01
  Speaker 10: toward the white rock. He was almost half way over
• 3:49:05
  Speaker 10: when suddenly a horrible sea monster stuck its head out
• 3:49:07
  Speaker 10: of the water, an enormous head with a huge mouth
• 3:49:10
  Speaker 10: wide open, showing three rows of gleaming teeth, the mere
• 3:49:14
  Speaker 10: sight of which would have filled you with fear. Do
• 3:49:17
  Speaker 10: you know what it was? That sea monster was no
• 3:49:19
  Speaker 10: other than the enormous shark, which has often been mentioned
• 3:49:22
  Speaker 10: in this story, and which, on account of its cruelty,
• 3:49:25
  Speaker 10: has been nicknamed the Attila of the sea by both
• 3:49:28
  Speaker 10: fish and fishermen. Poor Pinocchio, the sight of that monster
• 3:49:33
  Speaker 10: frightened him almost to death. He tried to swim away
• 3:49:36
  Speaker 10: from him, to change his path to escape, but that
• 3:49:39
  Speaker 10: immense mouth kept coming nearer and nearer. Hasten, Pinocchio, I
• 3:49:44
  Speaker 10: beg you bleeded the little goat on the high rock,
• 3:49:47
  Speaker 10: and Pinocchio swam desperately with his arms, his body, his legs,
• 3:49:50
  Speaker 10: his feet. Quick, Pinocchio, the monster is coming nearer. Pinocchio
• 3:49:55
  Speaker 10: swam faster and faster, and harder and harder. Faster, Pinocchio,
• 3:49:59
  Speaker 10: the mo master would get you there.
• 3:50:01
  Speaker 5: He is there, he is quick.
• 3:50:03
  Speaker 10: Quicker, you were lost. Pinocchio went through the water like
• 3:50:06
  Speaker 10: a shot, swifter and swifter. He came close to the rock.
• 3:50:10
  Speaker 10: The goat leaned over and gave him one of her
• 3:50:12
  Speaker 10: hoofs to help him out of the water. Alas it
• 3:50:15
  Speaker 10: was too late. The monster overtook him, and the marionette
• 3:50:18
  Speaker 10: found himself in between the rows of gleaming white teeth.
• 3:50:22
  Speaker 10: Only for a moment, however, for the shark took a
• 3:50:24
  Speaker 10: deep breath, and as he breathed, he drank in the
• 3:50:27
  Speaker 10: marionette as easily as he would have sucked an egg.
• 3:50:30
  Speaker 10: Then he swallowed him so fast that Pinocchio, falling down
• 3:50:33
  Speaker 10: into the body of the fish, lay stunned for half
• 3:50:35
  Speaker 10: an hour. When he recovered his senses, the marionette could
• 3:50:39
  Speaker 10: not remember where he was. Around him, all was darkness,
• 3:50:43
  Speaker 10: a darkness so deep and so black that for a
• 3:50:46
  Speaker 10: moment he thought he had put his head into an inkwall.
• 3:50:49
  Speaker 10: He listened for a few moments and heard nothing. Once
• 3:50:52
  Speaker 10: in a while, a cold wind blew on his face.
• 3:50:55
  Speaker 10: At first he could not understand where that wind was
• 3:50:57
  Speaker 10: coming from, but after a while he understood that it
• 3:51:00
  Speaker 10: came from the lungs of the monster. I forgot to
• 3:51:03
  Speaker 10: tell you that the shark was suffering from asthma, so
• 3:51:05
  Speaker 10: that whenever he breathed, a storm seemed to blow. Pinocchio
• 3:51:10
  Speaker 10: at first tried to be brave, but as soon as
• 3:51:12
  Speaker 10: he became convinced that he was really and truly in
• 3:51:15
  Speaker 10: the shark's stomach, he burst into sobs and tears. Help help,
• 3:51:19
  Speaker 10: he cried, Oh poor me, Will some one come to
• 3:51:22
  Speaker 10: save me? Who is there to help you? Unhappy boy,
• 3:51:26
  Speaker 10: said a rough voice, like a guitar out of tune.
• 3:51:29
  Speaker 10: Who is talking? Said Pinocchio, frozen with terror. It is
• 3:51:34
  Speaker 10: I a poor tunny swallowed by the shark at the
• 3:51:37
  Speaker 10: same time as you. And what kind of a fish
• 3:51:39
  Speaker 10: are you? I have nothing to do with fishes. I
• 3:51:42
  Speaker 10: am a marionette. If you are not a fish, why
• 3:51:46
  Speaker 10: did you let this monster swallow you? I didn't let him.
• 3:51:50
  Speaker 10: He chased me and swallowed me without even a by
• 3:51:52
  Speaker 10: your leave? And now what are we to do here
• 3:51:54
  Speaker 10: in the dark? Wait until the shark has digested us both,
• 3:51:58
  Speaker 10: I suppose. But I don't want to be digested, shouted Pinocchio,
• 3:52:03
  Speaker 10: starting to sob. Neither do, I said the Tunny. But
• 3:52:07
  Speaker 10: I am wise enough to think that if one is
• 3:52:09
  Speaker 10: born a fish, it is more dignified to die under
• 3:52:11
  Speaker 10: the water than in the frying pan. What nonsense, cried Pinocchio.
• 3:52:16
  Speaker 10: Mine is an opinion, replied the Tunny, and opinion should
• 3:52:20
  Speaker 10: be respected. But I want to get out of this place.
• 3:52:23
  Speaker 10: I want to escape. Go if you can. Is this
• 3:52:28
  Speaker 10: shark that has swallowed us very long, asked the Marionette,
• 3:52:32
  Speaker 10: his body, not counting the tail, is almost a mile long.
• 3:52:37
  Speaker 10: While talking in the darkness, Pinocchio thought he saw a
• 3:52:39
  Speaker 10: faint light in the distance. What can that be, he
• 3:52:42
  Speaker 10: said to the Tunny, some other fish waiting as patiently
• 3:52:46
  Speaker 10: as we to be digested by the shark. I want
• 3:52:49
  Speaker 10: to see him. He may be an old fish and
• 3:52:51
  Speaker 10: may know some way of escape. I wish you all
• 3:52:54
  Speaker 10: good luck, dear Marionette. Goodbye Tunny, good Bye Marionette, and
• 3:52:59
  Speaker 10: good luck. When shall I see you again? Who knows
• 3:53:04
  Speaker 10: it is better not to think about it? End of
• 3:53:08
  Speaker 10: chapter thirty four.
• 3:53:09
  Speaker 22: Chapter thirty five in the Shark's Body, Pinocchio finds whom
• 3:53:13
  Speaker 22: Read this chapter, my children, and you will know Pinocchio.
• 3:53:17
  Speaker 22: As soon as he had said goodbye to his friend,
• 3:53:19
  Speaker 22: the tunny tottered away in the darkness and began to
• 3:53:21
  Speaker 22: walk as well as he could toward the faint light
• 3:53:24
  Speaker 22: which glowed in the distance. As he walked, his feet
• 3:53:27
  Speaker 22: splashed in a pool of greasy and slippery water, which
• 3:53:30
  Speaker 22: had such a heavy smell of fish fried in oil
• 3:53:33
  Speaker 22: that Pinocchio thought it was lent. The farther on he went,
• 3:53:36
  Speaker 22: the brighter and clearer grew the tiny light. On and
• 3:53:39
  Speaker 22: on he walked, until finally he found I give you
• 3:53:42
  Speaker 22: a thousand guesses, my dear children. He found a little
• 3:53:45
  Speaker 22: table set for dinner and lighted by a candle stuck
• 3:53:49
  Speaker 22: in a glass bottle, And near the table sat a
• 3:53:51
  Speaker 22: little old man, white as snow, eating live fish. They
• 3:53:55
  Speaker 22: wriggled so that now and again one of them slipped
• 3:53:58
  Speaker 22: out of the old man's mouth, and a escaped into
• 3:54:00
  Speaker 22: the darkness under the table. At this sight, the poor
• 3:54:03
  Speaker 22: Marionette was filled with such great and sudden happiness that
• 3:54:07
  Speaker 22: he almost dropped in a faint. He wanted to laugh,
• 3:54:10
  Speaker 22: he wanted to cry, He wanted to say a thousand
• 3:54:12
  Speaker 22: and one things, but all he could do was to
• 3:54:15
  Speaker 22: stand still, stuttering and stammering brokenly. At last, with a
• 3:54:19
  Speaker 22: great effort, he was able to let out a scream
• 3:54:22
  Speaker 22: of joy, and opening his arms, he threw them around
• 3:54:25
  Speaker 22: the old man's neck. Oh, father, dear father, I have
• 3:54:29
  Speaker 22: found you at last. Now I shall never never leave
• 3:54:32
  Speaker 22: you again. Are my eyes telling me the truth? Answered
• 3:54:37
  Speaker 22: the old man, rubbing his eyes. Are you really my
• 3:54:40
  Speaker 22: own dear Pinocchio? Yes, yes, yes it is. I look
• 3:54:44
  Speaker 22: at me, and you have forgotten me, haven't you. Oh,
• 3:54:48
  Speaker 22: my dear father, how good you are? And to think
• 3:54:51
  Speaker 22: that I oh, but if you only knew how many
• 3:54:54
  Speaker 22: misfortunes have fallen on my head and how many troubles
• 3:54:58
  Speaker 22: I have had. Just think so that on the day
• 3:55:01
  Speaker 22: you sold your old coat to buy me my a B. C.
• 3:55:04
  Speaker 22: Book so that I could go to school, I ran
• 3:55:07
  Speaker 22: away to the Marionette theater, and the proprietor caught me
• 3:55:10
  Speaker 22: and wanted to burn me to cook his roast. Lamb.
• 3:55:14
  Speaker 22: He was the one who gave me the five gold
• 3:55:16
  Speaker 22: pieces for you. But I met the Fox and the
• 3:55:18
  Speaker 22: cat who took me to the Inn of the Red Lobster.
• 3:55:21
  Speaker 22: There they ate like wolves, and I left the inn alone,
• 3:55:24
  Speaker 22: and I met the assassins in the wood. I ran,
• 3:55:27
  Speaker 22: and they ran after me, always after me, till they
• 3:55:30
  Speaker 22: hanged me on the branch of a giant oak tree.
• 3:55:33
  Speaker 22: Then the fairy of the azure Hair sent the coach
• 3:55:36
  Speaker 22: to rescue me, and the doctors looking after me said,
• 3:55:40
  Speaker 22: if he's not dead, then he's surely alive. And then
• 3:55:43
  Speaker 22: I told a lie, and my nose began to grow,
• 3:55:45
  Speaker 22: and it grew, and it grew till I couldn't get
• 3:55:48
  Speaker 22: it through the door of the room. And then I
• 3:55:50
  Speaker 22: went to the Fox and the cat in the fields
• 3:55:52
  Speaker 22: of Wonder to bury the gold pieces. The parrot laughed
• 3:55:55
  Speaker 22: at me, and instead of two thousand gold pieces, I
• 3:55:58
  Speaker 22: found one. When the judge heard that I had been robbed,
• 3:56:01
  Speaker 22: he sent me to jail to make the thieves happy.
• 3:56:04
  Speaker 22: And when I came away, I saw a fine bunch
• 3:56:06
  Speaker 22: of grapes hanging on a vine. The trap caught me,
• 3:56:09
  Speaker 22: and the farmer put a collar on me. And made
• 3:56:11
  Speaker 22: me a watchdog. He found out I was innocent when
• 3:56:15
  Speaker 22: I caught the weasels, and he'd let me go. The
• 3:56:17
  Speaker 22: serpent with the tail that smoked started to laugh and
• 3:56:20
  Speaker 22: in vain. His chest broke, and so I went back
• 3:56:23
  Speaker 22: to the fairy's house. She was dead. And the pigeon,
• 3:56:27
  Speaker 22: seeing me crying, said to me, I've seen your father
• 3:56:30
  Speaker 22: building a boat to look for you in America. And
• 3:56:33
  Speaker 22: I said to him, oh, if I only had wings.
• 3:56:37
  Speaker 22: And he said to me, do you want to go
• 3:56:38
  Speaker 22: to your father? And I said perhaps, but how? And
• 3:56:42
  Speaker 22: he said, get on my back and I'll take you there.
• 3:56:44
  Speaker 22: We flew all night long, and the next morning the
• 3:56:47
  Speaker 22: fishermen were looking toward the sea, crying, there's a poor
• 3:56:50
  Speaker 22: little man drownding. And I knew it was you, because
• 3:56:53
  Speaker 22: my heart told me so, and I waved you from
• 3:56:55
  Speaker 22: the shore. I knew you also put in geppetto I
• 3:56:59
  Speaker 22: want to go to you, But how could I? The
• 3:57:02
  Speaker 22: sea was rough, and the white caps overturned the boat.
• 3:57:05
  Speaker 22: When a terrible shark came up out of the sea,
• 3:57:07
  Speaker 22: and as soon as he saw me in the water,
• 3:57:10
  Speaker 22: swam quickly toward me, put out his tongue and swallowed
• 3:57:13
  Speaker 22: me as easily as if I had been a chocolate peppermint.
• 3:57:16
  Speaker 22: And how long have you been shut away in here?
• 3:57:19
  Speaker 22: From that day to this? Two long, weary years, two years,
• 3:57:23
  Speaker 22: my Pinocchio, which had been like two centuries. And how
• 3:57:27
  Speaker 22: have you lived? Where did you find the candle and
• 3:57:29
  Speaker 22: the matches with which to light it? Where did you
• 3:57:31
  Speaker 22: get them? You must know that in a storm which
• 3:57:35
  Speaker 22: swamped my boat, a large ship also suffered the same fate.
• 3:57:39
  Speaker 22: The sailors were all saved, but the ship went right
• 3:57:42
  Speaker 22: to the bottom of the sea, and the same terrible
• 3:57:45
  Speaker 22: shark that swallowed me swallowed most of it. What swallowed
• 3:57:49
  Speaker 22: a ship? Asked Pinocchio in astonishment. At one gulp. The
• 3:57:53
  Speaker 22: only thing he spat out was the main mast, for
• 3:57:55
  Speaker 22: it stuck into his teeth. To my own good luck,
• 3:57:58
  Speaker 22: that ship was loaded with meat, preserved food, crackers, breads,
• 3:58:03
  Speaker 22: bottles of wine, raisins, cheese, coffee, sugar, wax, candles, and
• 3:58:08
  Speaker 22: boxes of matches. With all of these blessings, I have
• 3:58:11
  Speaker 22: been able to live happily on for two whole years.
• 3:58:15
  Speaker 22: But now I am at the very last crumbs. Today
• 3:58:18
  Speaker 22: there is nothing left in the cupboard, and this candle.
• 3:58:20
  Speaker 22: You see, here is the last one I have. And
• 3:58:23
  Speaker 22: then and then, my dear, we'll find ourselves in darkness. Then,
• 3:58:28
  Speaker 22: my dear father, said Pinocchio, there's no time to lose.
• 3:58:31
  Speaker 22: We must try to escape. Escape how we can run
• 3:58:35
  Speaker 22: out of the shark's mouth and dive into the sea.
• 3:58:38
  Speaker 22: You speak well, but I cannot swim, my dear Pinocchio,
• 3:58:41
  Speaker 22: why should that matter? You can climb on my shoulders,
• 3:58:44
  Speaker 22: and I, who am a fine swimmer, will carry you
• 3:58:47
  Speaker 22: safely to the shore. Dreams, my boy, answered geppetto, shaking
• 3:58:51
  Speaker 22: his head and smiling sadly. Do you think it is
• 3:58:53
  Speaker 22: possible for a marionette a yard high to have the
• 3:58:56
  Speaker 22: strength to carry me on his shoulders and swim? Try
• 3:58:59
  Speaker 22: it and see? And in any case, if it is
• 3:59:02
  Speaker 22: written that we must die, we shall at least die together.
• 3:59:05
  Speaker 22: Not adding another word, Pinocchio took the candle in his hand,
• 3:59:08
  Speaker 22: and going ahead to light the way, he said to
• 3:59:10
  Speaker 22: his father, follow me, and have no fear. They walked
• 3:59:13
  Speaker 22: a long distance through the stomach and the whole body
• 3:59:15
  Speaker 22: of the shark. When they reached the throat of the monster,
• 3:59:18
  Speaker 22: they stopped for a while to wait for the right
• 3:59:20
  Speaker 22: moment in which to make their escape. I want you
• 3:59:23
  Speaker 22: to know that the shark, being very old and suffering
• 3:59:25
  Speaker 22: from asthma and heart trouble, was obliged to sleep with
• 3:59:28
  Speaker 22: his mouth open. Because of this, Pinocchio was able to
• 3:59:31
  Speaker 22: catch a glimpse of the sky filled with stars as
• 3:59:34
  Speaker 22: he looked up through the open jaws of his new home.
• 3:59:36
  Speaker 22: The time has come for us to escape, he whispered,
• 3:59:39
  Speaker 22: turning to his father. The shark is fast asleep, the
• 3:59:41
  Speaker 22: sea is calm, and the night is as bright as day.
• 3:59:44
  Speaker 22: Follow me closely, dear father, and we shall soon be saved.
• 3:59:48
  Speaker 22: No sooner than done. They climbed up the throat of
• 3:59:50
  Speaker 22: the monster till they came to that immense open mouth.
• 3:59:54
  Speaker 22: There they had to walk on tiptoes, for if they
• 3:59:56
  Speaker 22: tickled the shark's long tongue, he might awaken, and where
• 3:59:59
  Speaker 22: would they be then? The tongue was so wide and
• 4:00:02
  Speaker 22: so long that it looked like a country road. The
• 4:00:04
  Speaker 22: two fugitives were just about to dive into the sea
• 4:00:07
  Speaker 22: when the shark sneezed, And very suddenly as he sneezed,
• 4:00:11
  Speaker 22: he gave Pinocchio and geppetto such a jolt that they
• 4:00:13
  Speaker 22: found themselves thrown on their backs and dashed once more,
• 4:00:17
  Speaker 22: very unceremoniously, into the stomach of the monster. To make
• 4:00:20
  Speaker 22: matters worse, the candle went out, and father and son
• 4:00:23
  Speaker 22: were left in the dark. And now asked Pinocchio with
• 4:00:26
  Speaker 22: a serious face, now we are lost. Why lost? Give
• 4:00:30
  Speaker 22: me your hand, dear father, and be careful not to slip.
• 4:00:34
  Speaker 22: Where will you take me? We must try again. Come
• 4:00:36
  Speaker 22: with me, and don't be afraid. With these words, Pinocchio
• 4:00:40
  Speaker 22: took his father by the hand, and, always walking on tiptoes,
• 4:00:43
  Speaker 22: they climbed up the monster's throat for a second time,
• 4:00:46
  Speaker 22: and then they crossed the whole tongue and jumped over
• 4:00:48
  Speaker 22: three rows of teeth. But before they took the last
• 4:00:50
  Speaker 22: great leap, the marionette said to his father, climb on
• 4:00:53
  Speaker 22: my back and hold on tight to my neck. I'll
• 4:00:56
  Speaker 22: take care of everything else. As soon as Geppetto was
• 4:00:59
  Speaker 22: comfortably seated on his shoulders, Pinocchio, very sure of what
• 4:01:02
  Speaker 22: he was doing, dived into the water and started to swim.
• 4:01:05
  Speaker 22: The sea was like oil, The moon shone in all splendor,
• 4:01:09
  Speaker 22: and the shark continued to sleep so soundly that not
• 4:01:11
  Speaker 22: even a cannon shot would have awakened him. End of
• 4:01:15
  Speaker 22: chapter thirty five. Chapter thirty six, Pinocchio finally ceases to
• 4:01:21
  Speaker 22: be a marionette and becomes a boy. My dear father,
• 4:01:25
  Speaker 22: we are saved, cried the marionette. All we have to
• 4:01:28
  Speaker 22: do now is to get to shore, and that is easy.
• 4:01:31
  Speaker 22: Without another word, he swam swiftly away in an effort
• 4:01:34
  Speaker 22: to reach land as soon as possible. All at once
• 4:01:37
  Speaker 22: he noticed that Geppetto was shivering and shaking, as if
• 4:01:40
  Speaker 22: with a high fever. Was he shivering from fear or
• 4:01:44
  Speaker 22: from cold? Who knows, perhaps a little of both. But Pinocchio,
• 4:01:48
  Speaker 22: thinking his father was frightened, tried to comfort him by saying,
• 4:01:52
  Speaker 22: courage father, In a few moments, we shall be safe
• 4:01:55
  Speaker 22: on land. But where is that blessed shore? Asked the
• 4:01:59
  Speaker 22: little old old man, more and more worried as he
• 4:02:01
  Speaker 22: tried to pierce the far away shadows. Here, I am
• 4:02:05
  Speaker 22: searching on all sides, and I see nothing but sea
• 4:02:09
  Speaker 22: and sky. I see the shore, the marionette said, Remember, father,
• 4:02:13
  Speaker 22: that I am like a cat. I see better at
• 4:02:15
  Speaker 22: night than by day. Poor Pinocchio pretended to be peaceful
• 4:02:20
  Speaker 22: and contented, but he was far from that. He was
• 4:02:23
  Speaker 22: beginning to feel discouraged. His strength was leaving him, and
• 4:02:27
  Speaker 22: his breathing was becoming more and more labored. He felt
• 4:02:30
  Speaker 22: he could not go on much longer, and the shore
• 4:02:32
  Speaker 22: was still far away. He swam a few more strokes,
• 4:02:36
  Speaker 22: then he turned to Geppetto and cried out weakly, help me, father,
• 4:02:40
  Speaker 22: help me from dying. Father and son were really about
• 4:02:43
  Speaker 22: to drown when they heard a voice like a guitar
• 4:02:46
  Speaker 22: out of tune, call from the sea.
• 4:02:48
  Speaker 20: What is the trouble?
• 4:02:50
  Speaker 8: It is?
• 4:02:50
  Speaker 22: I and my poor father, I know that voice. You
• 4:02:54
  Speaker 22: are Pinocchio exactly, and you I am the tunny your
• 4:02:59
  Speaker 22: compared in the shark's stomach. And how did you escape?
• 4:03:04
  Speaker 22: I imitated your example.
• 4:03:06
  Speaker 20: You are the one who.
• 4:03:07
  Speaker 22: Showed me the way, and after you went, I followed, Tunny.
• 4:03:10
  Speaker 22: You arrived at the right moment. I implore you for
• 4:03:13
  Speaker 22: the love you bear your children, the little tunnies, to
• 4:03:16
  Speaker 22: help us, or we are lost. With great pleasure. Indeed,
• 4:03:20
  Speaker 22: hang on to my tail, both of you, and let
• 4:03:22
  Speaker 22: me lead you in a twinkling. You'll be safe on land.
• 4:03:25
  Speaker 22: Geppetto and Pinocchio, as you can easily imagine, did not
• 4:03:28
  Speaker 22: refuse the invitation. Indeed, instead of hanging on to the tail,
• 4:03:32
  Speaker 22: they thought it better to climb on the tunny's back.
• 4:03:35
  Speaker 22: Are we too heavy, asked Pinocchio heavy. Not in the least,
• 4:03:40
  Speaker 22: you are as light as seashells, answered the tunny, who
• 4:03:44
  Speaker 22: was as large as a two year old horse. As
• 4:03:47
  Speaker 22: soon as they reached the shore, Pinocchio was the first
• 4:03:49
  Speaker 22: to jump to the ground to help his old father.
• 4:03:53
  Speaker 22: Then he turned to the fish and said to him,
• 4:03:55
  Speaker 22: dear friend, you have saved my father, and I have
• 4:03:58
  Speaker 22: not enough words with which to thank you. Allow me
• 4:04:01
  Speaker 22: to embrace you as a sign of my eternal gratitude.
• 4:04:04
  Speaker 22: The tunny stuck his nose out of the water, and
• 4:04:06
  Speaker 22: Pinocchio knelt on the sand and kissed him most affectionately
• 4:04:09
  Speaker 22: on his cheek. At this warm greeting, the poor tunny,
• 4:04:13
  Speaker 22: who was not used to such tenderness, wept like a child.
• 4:04:17
  Speaker 22: He felt so embarrassed and ashamed that he turned quickly,
• 4:04:20
  Speaker 22: plunged into the sea, and disappeared. In the meantime, day
• 4:04:24
  Speaker 22: had dawned. Pinocchio offered his arm to Geppetto, who was
• 4:04:28
  Speaker 22: so weak he could hardly stand, and said to him,
• 4:04:31
  Speaker 22: lean on my arm, dear father, and let us go.
• 4:04:35
  Speaker 22: We will walk very very slowly, and if we feel tired,
• 4:04:38
  Speaker 22: we can rest by the wayside. And where are we going,
• 4:04:42
  Speaker 22: asked geppetto, to look for a house or a hut
• 4:04:45
  Speaker 22: where they will be kind enough to give us a
• 4:04:47
  Speaker 22: bite of bread and a bit of straw to sleep on.
• 4:04:51
  Speaker 22: They had not taken a hundred steps when they saw
• 4:04:53
  Speaker 22: two rough looking individuals sitting on a stone, begging for alms.
• 4:04:58
  Speaker 22: It was the fox and the cat, but one could
• 4:05:00
  Speaker 22: hardly recognize them they look so miserable. The cat, after
• 4:05:04
  Speaker 22: pretending to be blind for so many years, had really
• 4:05:07
  Speaker 22: lost sight of both eyes. The fox, old thin and
• 4:05:11
  Speaker 22: almost hairless, had even lost his tail. That sly thief,
• 4:05:15
  Speaker 22: had fallen into deepest poverty, and one day he had
• 4:05:18
  Speaker 22: been forced to sell his beautiful tail for a bite
• 4:05:21
  Speaker 22: to eat. Oh, Pinocchio, he cried in a tearful voice,
• 4:05:24
  Speaker 22: Give us some alms. We beg of you. We are old,
• 4:05:28
  Speaker 22: tired and sick. Sick, repeated the cat. Adio false friends,
• 4:05:34
  Speaker 22: answered the marionette. You cheated me once, but you will
• 4:05:37
  Speaker 22: never catch me again. Believe us today, we are truly
• 4:05:41
  Speaker 22: poor and starving, starving, repeated the cat. If you are poor,
• 4:05:47
  Speaker 22: you deserve it. Remember the old proverb which says, stolen
• 4:05:52
  Speaker 22: money never bears fruit. Adio, false friends, have mercy on
• 4:05:56
  Speaker 22: us on us adio, false friends. Remember the old proverb
• 4:06:01
  Speaker 22: which says, bad wheat always makes poor bread. Do not
• 4:06:06
  Speaker 22: abandon us, abandon us, repeated the cat addio, false friends.
• 4:06:13
  Speaker 22: Remember the old proverb whoever steals his neighbor's shirt usually
• 4:06:17
  Speaker 22: dies without his own. Waving goodbye to them, Pinocchio and
• 4:06:21
  Speaker 22: Geppetto calmly went on their way. A few more steps,
• 4:06:25
  Speaker 22: they saw at the end of a long road, near
• 4:06:27
  Speaker 22: a clump of trees, a tiny cottage built of straw.
• 4:06:32
  Speaker 22: Someone must live in that hut, said Pinocchio. Let us
• 4:06:35
  Speaker 22: see for ourselves. They went and knocked on the door.
• 4:06:40
  Speaker 22: Who is it, said a little voice from within. A
• 4:06:44
  Speaker 22: poor father and a poorer son, without food and no
• 4:06:47
  Speaker 22: roof to cover them, answered the marionette. Turn the key
• 4:06:52
  Speaker 22: and the door will open, said the same little voice.
• 4:06:55
  Speaker 22: Pinocchio turned the key, and the door opened. As soon
• 4:06:58
  Speaker 22: as they went in. They looked here and there and everywhere,
• 4:07:01
  Speaker 22: but saw no one. Oh ho, where is the owner
• 4:07:05
  Speaker 22: of the hut? Cried Pinocchio very much surprised. Here, I
• 4:07:10
  Speaker 22: am up here. Father and son looked up at the ceiling,
• 4:07:14
  Speaker 22: and there on the beam sat the talking cricket. Oh,
• 4:07:17
  Speaker 22: my dear cricket, said Pinocchio, bowing politely. Oh now you
• 4:07:22
  Speaker 22: can call me your dear cricket. But do you remember
• 4:07:25
  Speaker 22: when you threw your hammer to kill me? You are right,
• 4:07:28
  Speaker 22: dear cricket. Throw a hammer at me now, I deserve it.
• 4:07:32
  Speaker 22: But spare my poor old father. I am going to
• 4:07:34
  Speaker 22: spare both the father and the son. I have only
• 4:07:37
  Speaker 22: wanted to remind you of the trick you long ago
• 4:07:40
  Speaker 22: played upon me. I teach you that in this world
• 4:07:43
  Speaker 22: of ours, we must be kind and courteous to others
• 4:07:45
  Speaker 22: if we want to find kindness in our own days
• 4:07:48
  Speaker 22: of trouble. You are right, little cricket, you are more
• 4:07:52
  Speaker 22: than right, and I shall remember the lesson you have
• 4:07:54
  Speaker 22: taught me. But will you tell me how you succeeded
• 4:07:57
  Speaker 22: in buying this pretty little cottage. This cottage was given
• 4:08:01
  Speaker 22: to me yesterday by a little goat with blue hair.
• 4:08:04
  Speaker 22: And where did the goat go? Asked Pinocchio. I don't know,
• 4:08:09
  Speaker 22: And when will she be back? She will never come back.
• 4:08:12
  Speaker 22: Yesterday she went away bleating sadly, and it seemed to me,
• 4:08:15
  Speaker 22: she said, poor Pinocchio, I shall never see him again.
• 4:08:19
  Speaker 22: The shark must have eaten him by this time. Were
• 4:08:21
  Speaker 22: those are real words? Then it was she. It was
• 4:08:25
  Speaker 22: my dear little fairy, cried out Pinocchio, sobbing bitterly. After
• 4:08:30
  Speaker 22: he had cried a long time, he wiped his eyes,
• 4:08:32
  Speaker 22: and then he made a bed of straw for old geppetto.
• 4:08:35
  Speaker 22: He laid him on it and said to the talking cricket,
• 4:08:38
  Speaker 22: tell me, little cricket, where shall I find a glass
• 4:08:40
  Speaker 22: of milk for my poor father. Three fields away from
• 4:08:43
  Speaker 22: here lives farmer John. He has some cows. Go there
• 4:08:47
  Speaker 22: and he will give you what you want. Pinocchio ran
• 4:08:50
  Speaker 22: all the way to Farmer John's house. The farmer said
• 4:08:52
  Speaker 22: to him, how much milk do you want? I want
• 4:08:55
  Speaker 22: a full glass. A full glass costs a penny. First
• 4:08:59
  Speaker 22: give me the penny. I have no penny, answered Pinocchio,
• 4:09:03
  Speaker 22: sad and ashamed. Very bad, my Marionette answered the farmer,
• 4:09:08
  Speaker 22: very bad. If you have no penny, I have no milk.
• 4:09:12
  Speaker 22: Too bad, said Pinocchio, and started to go. Wait a moment,
• 4:09:16
  Speaker 22: said Farmer John, perhaps we can come to terms. Do
• 4:09:19
  Speaker 22: you know how to draw water from a well? I
• 4:09:22
  Speaker 22: can try. Then go to that well you see yonder,
• 4:09:25
  Speaker 22: and draw one hundred bucketfuls of water very well. After
• 4:09:30
  Speaker 22: you have finished, I shall give you a glass of warm,
• 4:09:32
  Speaker 22: sweet milk. I am satisfied. Farmer John took the marionette
• 4:09:37
  Speaker 22: to the well and showed him how to draw the water.
• 4:09:40
  Speaker 22: Pinocchio set to work as well as he knew how,
• 4:09:43
  Speaker 22: but long before he had pulled up the one hundred buckets,
• 4:09:46
  Speaker 22: he was tired out and dripping with perspiration. He had
• 4:09:50
  Speaker 22: never worked so hard in his life until to day.
• 4:09:54
  Speaker 22: The farmer said, my donkey has drawn the water for me.
• 4:09:58
  Speaker 22: But now that poor animal is dying, will you take
• 4:10:01
  Speaker 22: me to see him? Said Pinocchio gladly. As soon as
• 4:10:05
  Speaker 22: Pinocchio went into the stable, he spied a little donkey
• 4:10:08
  Speaker 22: lying on a bed of straw in the corner of
• 4:10:10
  Speaker 22: the stable. He was worn out from hunger and too
• 4:10:13
  Speaker 22: much work. After looking at him a long time, he
• 4:10:16
  Speaker 22: said to himself, I know that donkey. I've seen him before,
• 4:10:21
  Speaker 22: And bending low over him, he asked, who are you
• 4:10:24
  Speaker 22: At this question, the donkey opened weary, dying eyes and
• 4:10:28
  Speaker 22: answered in the same tongue. I am lamp Wick. Then
• 4:10:32
  Speaker 22: he closed his eyes and died. Oh my poor lamp Wick,
• 4:10:36
  Speaker 22: said Pinocchio in a faint voice, as he wiped his
• 4:10:39
  Speaker 22: eyes with some straw he had picked up from the ground.
• 4:10:41
  Speaker 22: Do you feel sorry for a little donkey that has
• 4:10:44
  Speaker 22: cost you nothing? Said the farmer? What should I do?
• 4:10:48
  Speaker 22: I who have paid my good money for him? But
• 4:10:51
  Speaker 22: you see he was my friend, your friend, a classmate
• 4:10:55
  Speaker 22: of mine. What shouted farmer John, bursting out laft, What
• 4:11:01
  Speaker 22: you had donkeys in your school? How you must have studied?
• 4:11:05
  Speaker 22: The marionette, ashamed and hurt by those words, did not answer, but,
• 4:11:09
  Speaker 22: taking his glass of milk, returned to his father. From
• 4:11:12
  Speaker 22: that day on, for more than five months, Pinocchio got
• 4:11:16
  Speaker 22: up every morning just as dawn was breaking and went
• 4:11:19
  Speaker 22: to the farm to draw water, And every day he
• 4:11:22
  Speaker 22: was given a glass of warm milk for his poor
• 4:11:25
  Speaker 22: old father, who grew stronger and better day by day.
• 4:11:28
  Speaker 22: But he was not satisfied with this. He learned to
• 4:11:31
  Speaker 22: make baskets of reeds and sold them. With the money
• 4:11:34
  Speaker 22: he received, he and his father were able to keep
• 4:11:36
  Speaker 22: from starving. Among other things, he built a rolling chair,
• 4:11:40
  Speaker 22: strong and comfortable to take his old father out for
• 4:11:43
  Speaker 22: an airing on bright sunny days. In the evening, the
• 4:11:47
  Speaker 22: Marionette studied by lamplight. With some of the money he
• 4:11:50
  Speaker 22: had earned, he bought himself a secondhand volume that had
• 4:11:53
  Speaker 22: a few pages missing, and with that he learned to
• 4:11:56
  Speaker 22: read in a very short time. As far as writing
• 4:12:00
  Speaker 22: was concerned, he used a long stick at one end
• 4:12:02
  Speaker 22: of which he had whittled a long, fine point ink.
• 4:12:06
  Speaker 22: He had none, so he used the juice of blackberries
• 4:12:09
  Speaker 22: or cherries. Little by little, his diligence was rewarded. He
• 4:12:13
  Speaker 22: succeeded not only in his studies, but also in his work,
• 4:12:17
  Speaker 22: and a day came when he put enough money together
• 4:12:20
  Speaker 22: to keep his old father comfortable and happy. Besides this,
• 4:12:24
  Speaker 22: he was able to save the great amount of fifty pennies.
• 4:12:27
  Speaker 22: With it, he wanted to buy himself a new suit.
• 4:12:30
  Speaker 22: One day, he said to his father, I am going
• 4:12:32
  Speaker 22: to the market place to buy myself a coat, a cap,
• 4:12:35
  Speaker 22: and a pair of shoes. When I come back, i'll
• 4:12:38
  Speaker 22: be so dressed up you will think I am a
• 4:12:40
  Speaker 22: rich man. He ran out of the house and up
• 4:12:43
  Speaker 22: the road to the village, laughing and singing. Suddenly he
• 4:12:47
  Speaker 22: heard his name called, and looking around to see whence
• 4:12:50
  Speaker 22: the voice came from, he noticed a large snail crawling
• 4:12:54
  Speaker 22: out of some bushes. Don't you recognize me? Said the snail,
• 4:12:58
  Speaker 22: Yes and no.
• 4:12:59
  Speaker 20: Do you remember this snail that lived with the fairy
• 4:13:01
  Speaker 20: with azure hair? Do you not remember how she opened
• 4:13:04
  Speaker 20: the door for you one night and gave you something
• 4:13:07
  Speaker 20: to eat? I remember everything, cried Pinocchio. Answer me quickly,
• 4:13:11
  Speaker 20: pretty snail. Where have you left my fairy? What is
• 4:13:15
  Speaker 20: she doing? Has she forgiven me? Does she remember me?
• 4:13:18
  Speaker 20: Does she still love me? Is she very far.
• 4:13:20
  Speaker 22: Away from me? May I see her? At all? These
• 4:13:23
  Speaker 22: questions tumbling out one after another, the snail answered, calm
• 4:13:27
  Speaker 22: as ever, my dear Pinocchio, the fairy is lying ill
• 4:13:31
  Speaker 22: in a hospital. In a hospital. Yes, indeed, she has
• 4:13:36
  Speaker 22: been stricken with trouble and illness. And she hasn't a
• 4:13:39
  Speaker 22: penny left with which to buy a bite of bread. Really, Oh,
• 4:13:43
  Speaker 22: how sorry I am, my poor dear little fairy. If
• 4:13:46
  Speaker 22: I had a million, I should run to her with it,
• 4:13:49
  Speaker 22: but I have only fifty pennies. Here they are I
• 4:13:53
  Speaker 22: was just going to buy some clothes. Here, Take them,
• 4:13:55
  Speaker 22: little snail, and give them to my good fairy, What
• 4:13:59
  Speaker 22: about the new clothes joes? What does that matter? I
• 4:14:02
  Speaker 22: should like to sell these rags I have on to
• 4:14:04
  Speaker 22: help her more, Go and hurry come back here within
• 4:14:08
  Speaker 22: a couple of days, and I hope to have more
• 4:14:09
  Speaker 22: money for you. Until to day, I have worked for
• 4:14:12
  Speaker 22: my father. Now I shall have to work for my
• 4:14:14
  Speaker 22: mother also. Good Bye, and I hope to see you soon.
• 4:14:18
  Speaker 22: The snail, much against her usual habit, began to run
• 4:14:22
  Speaker 22: like a lizard under a summer sun. When Pinocchio returned home,
• 4:14:26
  Speaker 22: his father asked him, and where is the new suit?
• 4:14:29
  Speaker 22: I couldn't find one to fit me. I shall have
• 4:14:32
  Speaker 22: to look again some other day. That night, Pinocchio, instead
• 4:14:36
  Speaker 22: of going to bed at ten o'clock, waited until midnight,
• 4:14:39
  Speaker 22: and instead of making eight baskets, he made sixteen. After
• 4:14:43
  Speaker 22: that he went to bed and fell asleep. As he slept,
• 4:14:46
  Speaker 22: he dreamed of his fairy, beautiful, smiling and happy, who
• 4:14:50
  Speaker 22: kissed him and said to him, Bravo, Pinocchio, and reward
• 4:14:54
  Speaker 22: for your kind heart. I forgive you for all your
• 4:14:57
  Speaker 22: old mischief. Boys who love and take make good care
• 4:15:00
  Speaker 22: of their parents when they are old and sick deserve praise,
• 4:15:04
  Speaker 22: even though they may not be held up as models
• 4:15:06
  Speaker 22: of obedience and good behavior. Keep on doing well, and
• 4:15:11
  Speaker 22: you will be happy. At that very moment, Pinocchio awoke
• 4:15:15
  Speaker 22: and opened wide his eyes. What was his surprise and
• 4:15:19
  Speaker 22: his joy when, on looking himself over, he saw that
• 4:15:22
  Speaker 22: he was no longer a marionette, but that he had
• 4:15:24
  Speaker 22: become a real live boy. He looked all about him,
• 4:15:29
  Speaker 22: and instead of the usual walls of straw, he found
• 4:15:32
  Speaker 22: himself in a beautifully furnished little room, the prettiest he
• 4:15:36
  Speaker 22: had ever seen. In a twinkling, he jumped down from
• 4:15:39
  Speaker 22: his bed to look at the chair standing near there,
• 4:15:43
  Speaker 22: he found a new suit, a new hat, and a
• 4:15:46
  Speaker 22: pair of shoes. As soon as he was dressed, he
• 4:15:49
  Speaker 22: put his hands in his pockets and pulled out a
• 4:15:51
  Speaker 22: little leather purse, on which were written the following words,
• 4:15:55
  Speaker 22: The fairy with azure hair returns fifty pennies for her
• 4:15:59
  Speaker 22: dear Pinocchio, with many thanks for his kind heart. The
• 4:16:03
  Speaker 22: marionette opened the purse to find the money, and behold
• 4:16:07
  Speaker 22: there were fifty gold coins. Pinocchio ran to the mirror.
• 4:16:11
  Speaker 22: He hardly recognized himself. The bright face of a tall
• 4:16:14
  Speaker 22: boy looked at him with wide awake, blue eyes, dark
• 4:16:18
  Speaker 22: brown hair, and happy, smiling lips. Surrounded by so much splendor,
• 4:16:23
  Speaker 22: the marionette hardly knew what he was doing. He rubbed
• 4:16:27
  Speaker 22: his eyes two or three times, wondering if he were
• 4:16:29
  Speaker 22: still asleep or awake, and decided he must be awake.
• 4:16:34
  Speaker 22: And where is father?
• 4:16:35
  Speaker 4: He cried?
• 4:16:36
  Speaker 22: Suddenly he ran into the next room, and there stood Geppetto,
• 4:16:40
  Speaker 22: grown years younger, overnight, spick and span in his new clothes,
• 4:16:45
  Speaker 22: and gay as a lark. In the morning, he was
• 4:16:47
  Speaker 22: once more mastro Geppetto, the wood carver, hard at work
• 4:16:51
  Speaker 22: on a lovely picture frame, decorating it with flowers and
• 4:16:54
  Speaker 22: leaves and heads of animals. Father, father, what has happened?
• 4:16:59
  Speaker 22: Tell me if you can, cried Pinocchio, as he ran
• 4:17:02
  Speaker 22: and jumped on his father's neck. This sudden change in
• 4:17:06
  Speaker 22: our house is all your doing, My dear Pinocchio, answered Geppetto,
• 4:17:10
  Speaker 22: What have I to do with it?
• 4:17:12
  Speaker 14: Just this?
• 4:17:13
  Speaker 22: When bad boys become good and kind, they have the
• 4:17:16
  Speaker 22: power of making their homes gay and new with happiness.
• 4:17:21
  Speaker 22: I wonder where the old Pinocchio of wood has hidden himself.
• 4:17:25
  Speaker 22: There he is, answered Geppetto, and he pointed to a
• 4:17:28
  Speaker 22: large marionette leaning against a chair, head turned to one side,
• 4:17:33
  Speaker 22: arms hanging limp, and legs twisted under him. After a long,
• 4:17:38
  Speaker 22: long look, Pinocchio said to himself with great content, how
• 4:17:42
  Speaker 22: ridiculous I was as a marionette, and how happy I
• 4:17:46
  Speaker 22: am now that I have become a real boy. End
• 4:17:50
  Speaker 22: of Chapter thirty six.
