  Chapter eleven, fire Eater nieces and forgive Spinocchio, who saved his friend Harloquin
• 0:11
  from death in the theater. Great excitement reigned fire Either this was really his
• 0:20
  name was very ugly, but he was far from being as bad as he
• 0:26
  looked. Proof of this is death. When he saw the poor Marinette being
• 0:33
  brought into him, struggling with fear and crime. I don't want to die.
• 0:39
  I don't want to die, he felt sorry for him and began first
• 0:44
  to waver and then to waken. Finally, he could control himself no longer
• 0:50
  and gave a loud sneez at that sneees. Harlequin, who until then had
• 0:57
  been as sad as a weeping will, smiled happily, and, leaning toward
• 1:03
  the Marnett, whispered to him, good news, brother mine. Fire Eater
• 1:08
  has knees, and this is a sign that he feels sorry for you.
• 1:14
  You are saved for being known that while other people went sad and sorrofled,
• 1:22
  weep and wipe their eyes, fire Eater, on the other hand, had
• 1:26
  the strange habit of sneezing each time he felt unhappy. The way was just
• 1:33
  as good as any other to show the kindness of his heart. After sneezing,
• 1:38
  Far Eater ugly as ever, cried to Pinocchio, stop crying your waist,
• 1:46
  give me a funny feeling down here in my stomach, and it's see.
• 1:53
  Two loud sneezes finished his speech. God bless you, said Pinocchio.
• 2:00
  Thanks, are your father and mother still living? Demanded fire either my father,
• 2:07
  yes, my mother. I have never known your poor father will suffer
• 2:15
  terribly if I were to use you as a fire with poor old man,
• 2:23
  I feel sorry for him. Chee it chi itchea. Three more sneezes sounded
• 2:32
  louder than ever. God bless you, said Pinocchio. Thanks, However,
• 2:42
  I ought to be sorry for myself too. Just now my good dinner is
• 2:47
  spoiled. I have no more wood for the fire, and the lamb is
• 2:53
  only half cooked. Never mind in your place, averst some other my Hey
• 3:00
  there officers at the coal. Two wooden officers appeared long and thin as a
• 3:09
  yard of rope, with queer hats on their heads and swords in their hands.
• 3:16
  Fire Eater yelled at them in a hoarse voice, take harlequin, tie
• 3:22
  him and throw him on the fire. I woke my lamb well down,
• 3:28
  saying how poor Harlequin felt. He was so scared that his legs doubled up
• 3:35
  under him and he fell to the floor. Pinocchio, at that heartbreaking side,
• 3:44
  threw himself at the feet of fire Eater, and, weeping bitterly,
• 3:50
  asked, in a piliful voice which could scarcely be heard, have pity I
• 3:55
  beg of you? Signor there are no signor here? Have pity concert,
• 4:04
  there are no sirs here. Have pity, your excellancy. On hearing himself
• 4:13
  addressed as your excellancy, the director of the Marinette theaters up very straight in
• 4:19
  his chair, stroke his long beard, and becoming suddenly kind and compassionate,
• 4:29
  smiled proudly as he said to Pinocchio, Well, what do you want for
• 4:34
  me now, Marinette? I beg for mercy for my poor friend Harlequin,
• 4:42
  who has never done the least harm in his life. There is no mercy
• 4:47
  here, Pinocchio, I have spared you. Harlequin must burn in your place.
• 4:56
  I am hungry and my dinner must be cooked. In that case,
• 5:01
  said Pinocchio proudly, as he stood up and flung away his cap of dough.
• 5:08
  In that case, my beauty is clear. Come, officers, tie
• 5:13
  me up and throw me on those flames. No, it is no fair
• 5:17
  for poor Halkim, the best friend that I have in the world, to
• 5:21
  die in my place. These brave words, said in a piercing voice,
• 5:29
  made all the other marinets cry. Even the officers, who were made of
• 5:34
  wood also cried like two babies. Fire Eater at first remained hard and called
• 5:42
  as a piece of eyes. But then little by little he softened and began
• 5:48
  to sneeze, And after four or five sneezes, he opened wild his arms
• 5:56
  and said to Pinocchio, you are a brave boy. Come to my arms
• 6:02
  and kiss me. Pinocchio ran to him, and, scarring like a squirrel,
• 6:08
  up the long black beard, he gave fire Either a loving kiss on
• 6:13
  the tip of his nose. Has pardon been granted to me? Asked poor
• 6:18
  HARKing, with a voice that was hardly a breath. Pardon is yours?
• 6:25
  Answer far either, And sighing and wagging his head, he added, well,
• 6:30
  tonight I shall have to eat my lamb only half cooked. But beware
• 6:38
  the next time Marinette. At the news that pardon had been given, the
• 6:45
  marinettes ran to the stage, and turning on all the lights. They danced
• 6:51
  and sang till dawn. And of chapter eleven,
