  Speaker 1: Chapter seven, Geppetto returns home and gives his own breakfast
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to the marionette. The poor marionette, who was still half asleep,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: had not yet found out that his two feet were
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: burned and gone. As soon as he heard his father's voice,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: he jumped up from his seat to open the door,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: But as he did so, he staggered and fell headlong
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to the floor. In falling, he's made as much noise
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: as a sack of wood falling from the fifth story
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of a house. Open the door for me, Geppetto shouted
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: from the street.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Father, dear father, I.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Can't, answered the marionette, in despair, crying and rolling on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the floor. Why can't you?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Because someone has eating my feet?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And who is eating them? The cat, answered Pinocchio, seeing
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that little animal busily playing with some shavings in the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: corner of the room, Open, I say, repeated Geppetto, or
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a sound whipping when I get in.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Father, believe me, I can't stand up. Oh dear, oh dear,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I shall have to walk on my knees all my life.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Geppetto, thinking that all these tears and cries were only
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: other pranks of the Marionette climbed up the side of
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the house and went in through the window. At first
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: he was very angry, but on seeing Pinocchio stretched out
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: on the floor and really without feet, he felt very
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: sad and sorrowful. Picking him up from the floor, he
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: fondled and caressed him, talking to him while the tears
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: ran down his cheeks. My little Pinocchio, My dear little Pinocchio,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: how did you burn your feet?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know, father, but believe me, the night has
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: been a terrible one, and I still remembered as long
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: as I live. The thunder was so noisy and the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: lightning so bright, and I was hungry. And then the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: talking cricket said to me, you deserve it. You were bad.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And I said to him, careful cricket, and he said
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to me, you are Marionette, and you have a wooden head.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And I threw the hammer at him, and I killed him.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: It was his own fault, but I didn't want to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: kill him. And I put the pan on the coals.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But the chick flew away and said, I'll see you again,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: remember me to the family. And my hunger grew that
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I went out, and the old man with a nightcap
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: looked out the window and threw water on me. And
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I came home, and I put my feet in the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: stove to dry them because I was still hungry, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I fell asleep. And now my feet are gone, but
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: my hunger isn't. Oh oh oh.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And poor Pinocchio began to scream and cry so loudly
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that he could be heard for miles around. Geppetto, who
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: had understood nothing of all that jumbled talk except that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the marionette was hungry, felt sorry for him, and, pulling
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: three pears out of his pocket, offered them to him, saying,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: these three pears were for my breakfast. But I give
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: them to you. Gladly eat them and stop weeping.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: If you want me to eat them, please peel them
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Peel them, asked Geppetto, very much surprised. I should never
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: have thought, dear boy of mine, that you were so
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: dainty and fussy about your food. Bad, very bad. In
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: this world, even as children, we must accustom ourselves to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: eat of everything, for we never know what life may
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: hold in store for us. You may be right, answered Pinocchio,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but I will.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Not eat the pears if they are not peeled. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: don't like them, and good old Geppetto took out a knife,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: heeled the three pears and put the skins on a
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: row in the table. Pinocchio wait one pair in a twinkling,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and started to throw the core away, but Geppetto held
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: his arm. Oh no, don't throw it away. Everything in
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: this world may be of some use, but the core
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I will not eat, cried Pinocchio in an angry tone.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Who knows, repeated Geppetto calmly, and later the three cores
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: were placed on the table. Next time the skins. Pinocchio
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: had eaten the three pairs, or rather devoured them. Then
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: he yawned deeply and wailed. I'm still hungry, but.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I have no more to give you, really nothing nothing.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I have only these three cores and these skins.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Very well, then, said Pinocchio, if there is nothing else,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I'll eat them.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: At first he made a wry face, but one after another,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the skins and the cores disappeared.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Ah now I feel fine.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: He said, after eating the last one. You see, observed
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Geppetto that I was right when I told you that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: one must not be too fussy and too dainty about food.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: My dear, we never know what life may have in
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: store for us. End of Chapter seven,
