- 0:16Speaker 1: reigned fire Either this was really his name was very ugly,
- 0:23Speaker 1: but he was far from being as bad as he looked.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Proof of this is death. When he saw the poor
- 0:32Speaker 1: Marinette being brought into him, struggling with fear and crime.
- 0:37Speaker 1: I don't want to die. I don't want to die,
- 0:41Speaker 1: he felt sorry for him and began first to waver
- 0:44Speaker 1: and then to waken. Finally, he could control himself no
- 0:49Speaker 1: longer and gave a loud sneez at that sneees. Harlequin,
- 0:56Speaker 1: who until then had been as sad as a weeping will,
- 1:00Speaker 1: smiled happily, and, leaning toward the Marnett, whispered to him,
- 1:06Speaker 1: good news, brother mine. Fire Eater has knees, and this
- 1:11Speaker 1: is a sign that he feels sorry for you. You
- 1:14Speaker 1: are saved for being known that while other people went
- 1:21Speaker 1: sad and sorrofled, weep and wipe their eyes, fire Eater,
- 1:25Speaker 1: on the other hand, had the strange habit of sneezing
- 1:29Speaker 1: each time he felt unhappy. The way was just as
- 1:33Speaker 1: good as any other to show the kindness of his heart.
- 1:38Speaker 1: After sneezing, Far Eater ugly as ever, cried to Pinocchio,
- 1:44Speaker 1: stop crying your waist, give me a funny feeling down
- 1:48Speaker 1: here in my stomach, and it's see. Two loud sneezes
- 1:55Speaker 1: finished his speech. God bless you, said Pinocchio. Thanks, are
- 2:02Speaker 1: your father and mother still living? Demanded fire either my father, yes,
- 2:09Speaker 1: my mother. I have never known your poor father will
- 2:16Speaker 1: suffer terribly if I were to use you as a
- 2:19Speaker 1: fire with poor old man, I feel sorry for him.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Chee it chi itchea. Three more sneezes sounded louder than ever.
- 2:36Speaker 1: God bless you, said Pinocchio. Thanks, However, I ought to
- 2:43Speaker 1: be sorry for myself too. Just now my good dinner
- 2:48Speaker 1: is spoiled. I have no more wood for the fire,
- 2:53Speaker 1: and the lamb is only half cooked. Never mind in
- 2:58Speaker 1: your place, averst some other my Hey there officers at
- 3:04Speaker 1: the coal. Two wooden officers appeared long and thin as
- 3:09Speaker 1: a yard of rope, with queer hats on their heads
- 3:14Speaker 1: and swords in their hands. Fire Eater yelled at them
- 3:19Speaker 1: in a hoarse voice, take harlequin, tie him and throw
- 3:23Speaker 1: him on the fire. I woke my lamb well down,
- 3:28Speaker 1: saying how poor Harlequin felt. He was so scared that
- 3:34Speaker 1: his legs doubled up under him and he fell to
- 3:37Speaker 1: the floor. Pinocchio, at that heartbreaking side, threw himself at
- 3:45Speaker 1: the feet of fire Eater, and, weeping bitterly, asked, in
- 3:50Speaker 1: a piliful voice which could scarcely be heard, have pity
- 3:56Speaker 1: I beg of you? Signor there are no signor here?
- 4:03Speaker 1: Have pity concert, there are no sirs here. Have pity,
- 4:09Speaker 1: your excellancy. On hearing himself addressed as your excellancy, the
- 4:16Speaker 1: director of the Marinette theaters up very straight in his chair,
- 4:22Speaker 1: stroke his long beard, and becoming suddenly kind and compassionate,
- 4:29Speaker 1: smiled proudly as he said to Pinocchio, Well, what do
- 4:34Speaker 1: you want for me now, Marinette? I beg for mercy
- 4:39Speaker 1: for my poor friend Harlequin, who has never done the
- 4:44Speaker 1: least harm in his life. There is no mercy here, Pinocchio,
- 4:50Speaker 1: I have spared you. Harlequin must burn in your place.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I am hungry and my dinner must be cooked. In
- 5:00Speaker 1: that case, said Pinocchio proudly, as he stood up and
- 5:05Speaker 1: flung away his cap of dough. In that case, my
- 5:09Speaker 1: beauty is clear. Come, officers, tie me up and throw
- 5:14Speaker 1: me on those flames. No, it is no fair for
- 5:18Speaker 1: poor Halkim, the best friend that I have in the world,
- 5:22Speaker 1: to die in my place. These brave words, said in
- 5:27Speaker 1: a piercing voice, made all the other marinets cry. Even
- 5:33Speaker 1: the officers, who were made of wood also cried like
- 5:37Speaker 1: two babies. Fire Eater at first remained hard and called
- 5:42Speaker 1: as a piece of eyes. But then little by little
- 5:47Speaker 1: he softened and began to sneeze, And after four or
- 5:53Speaker 1: five sneezes, he opened wild his arms and said to Pinocchio,
- 5:59Speaker 1: you are a brave boy. Come to my arms and
- 6:03Speaker 1: kiss me. Pinocchio ran to him, and, scarring like a squirrel,
- 6:08Speaker 1: up the long black beard, he gave fire Either a
- 6:12Speaker 1: loving kiss on the tip of his nose. Has pardon
- 6:16Speaker 1: been granted to me? Asked poor HARKing, with a voice
- 6:20Speaker 1: that was hardly a breath. Pardon is yours? Answer far either,
- 6:26Speaker 1: And sighing and wagging his head, he added, well, tonight
- 6:32Speaker 1: I shall have to eat my lamb only half cooked.
- 6:36Speaker 1: But beware the next time Marinette. At the news that
- 6:42Speaker 1: pardon had been given, the marinettes ran to the stage,
- 6:47Speaker 1: and turning on all the lights. They danced and sang
- 6:53Speaker 1: till dawn. And of chapter eleven,
