Chapter 108

"But the fault is not mine. Believe me, little Dormouse,the fault isall Lamp-Wick's.""And who is this Lamp-Wick?""A classmateof mine. I wanted to return home. I wantedto be obedient. I wanted to study andto succeedin school, but Lamp-Wick said to me, `Why do you wantto waste yourtime studying? Why do you want to goto school? Come with me to the Land ofToys.

　　Therewe'll never study again. There we can enjoyourselves and be happy from morntill night.'""And why did you follow the advice of that falsefriend?""Why? Because, my dear little Dormouse, I am aheedlessMarionette--heedless and heartless. Oh! If I had onlyhad a bit ofheart, I should never have abandonedthat good Fairy, who loved me so well andwho has beenso kind to me! And by this time, I should no longer be aMarionette.I should have become a real boy, like all thesefriends of mine! Oh, if I meetLamp-Wick I am goingto tell him what I think of him--and more, too!"Afterthis long speech, Pinocchio walked to the doorof the room. But when he reachedit, remembering hisdonkey ears, he felt ashamed to show them to the publicandturned back. He took a large cotton bag from a shelf,put it on his head, andpulled it far down to his very nose.

　　Thusadorned, he went out. He looked for Lamp-Wick everywhere,along the streets, inthe squares, inside the theatres,everywhere; but he was not to be found. Heasked everyonewhom he met about him, but no one had seen him. In desperation,hereturned home and knocked at the door.

　　"Whois it?" asked Lamp-Wick from within.

　　"Itis I!" answered the Marionette.

　　"Waita minute."After a full half hour the door opened. Another surpriseawaitedPinocchio! There in the room stood his friend,with a large cotton bag on hishead, pulled far down to his very nose.

　　“可错的不是我。小土拨鼠，请你相信我，错的全是小灯芯！……”
　　“这个小灯芯是谁？”
　　“是我的一个同学。我想回家，我想听话，我想继续学习，我想有出息……可小灯芯对我说：‘你干吗要学习，自讨苦吃呢？你干吗想上学呢？还是跟我走吧，上“玩儿国”去。到了那里，咱们就再不用学习了，可以从早玩到晚，老是快快活活的。’”
　　“那你为什么听这个假朋友的话，听这个坏同学的话呢？”
　　“为什么……我的小土拨鼠，因为我是个木偶，没头脑……没心肝。噢，我有一点儿心肝就好了，我就不会抛弃好仙女了。她像妈妈一样爱我，为我做了那么多的事！……而且我这会儿也不再是个木偶了……我已经是个真正的孩子，跟所有的孩子一样！噢……我要是碰到小灯芯，我要叫他倒霉！我要骂他一通，骂他个狗血喷头！……”
　　他说着就要出去。可他一到门口，就想起那对驴耳朵，真不好意思让人看到。他发明了一个什么办法呢？他拿起一顶棉的大尖帽戴在头上，一直拉到鼻尖那儿。
　　他这才出去，到处找小灯芯。他在街上找，在广场上找，在小戏棚里找。到处都找遍了，就是找不到小灯芯。他在街上见人就问，可谁也不知道。
　　于是他上小灯芯家去找，到了他家就敲门。
　　“谁呀，”小灯芯在里面问。
　　“是我！”木偶回答说。
　　“等一等，我这就给你开门。”
　　过了半个钟头门才打开。诸位想象一下皮诺乔有多么奇怪，因为他走进屋子，看见他的朋友小灯芯也戴着一顶棉的大尖帽，也一直拉到鼻子底下。

Chapter 107

　　"What is the matter, dear little neighbor?""I amsick, my little Dormouse, very, very sick--andfrom an illness which frightensme! Do you understandhow to feel the pulse?""Alittle.""Feel mine then and tell me if I have a fever."TheDormouse took Pinocchio's wrist between her paws and,after a few minutes,looked up at him sorrowfully and said:

　　"My friend, I am sorry, but I must give you some very sadnews.""What is it?""You have a very badfever.""But what fever is it?""The donkeyfever.""I don't know anything about that fever," answered theMarionette,beginning to understand even too well what was happening to him.

　　"Then I will tell you all about it," said the Dormouse.

　　"Know then that, within two or three hours, you will nolongerbe a Marionette, nor a boy.""What shall I be?""Within twoor three hours you will become a real donkey,just like the ones that pull thefruit carts to market.""Oh, what have I done? What have I done?"cried Pinocchio,grasping his two long ears in his hands and pulling and tuggingatthem angrily, just as if they belonged to another.

　　"My dear boy," answered the Dormouse to cheer him up abit,"why worry now? What is done cannot be undone7, you know.

　　Fate has decreed that all lazy boys who come to hate booksandschools and teachers and spend all their days with toysand games must sooner orlater turn into donkeys.""But is it really so?" asked theMarionette, sobbing8 bitterly.

"Iam sorry to say it is. And tears now are useless.

You should have thought of all this before."

　“你怎么啦，我的好邻居？”
　　“我病了，我的小土拨鼠，病得很厉害……害的这种病可真叫我害怕！你会把脉吗？”
　　“会一点。”
　　“那就看看我有没有发烧吧。”
　　土拨鼠举起右前爪，把过皮诺乔的脉以后，叹着气说：
　　“我的朋友，我真抱歉，可也只好告诉你一个不好的消息！……”
　　“什么消息？”
　　“你在发高烧！……”
　　“发什么样的高烧，”
　　“发驴子的高烧。”
　　“什么驴子的高烧，我不明白！”木偶嘴里这么回答，其实他心里太明白了。
　　“那我来给你解释。”土拨鼠说下去，“你要知道，在两三个钟头之内，你就不再是一个木偶，也不是一个孩子……”
　　“那是什么呢？”
　　“在两三个钟头之内，你就要变成一头真正的驴子，跟拉车和驮白菜生菜到菜市去的驴子一模一样。”
　　“噢！我真苦命啊！我真苦命啊！”皮诺乔哭叫着，用手抓住两只耳朵，拼命地又拉又拔，好像这是别人的耳朵，
　　“我亲爱的，”土拨鼠为了安慰他，对他说，“你想怎么办呢？这是注定了的。圣人早就在书上写着，懒孩子不爱书本，不爱学校，不爱老师，整天玩乐，早晚都要变成这种小驴子。”
　　“这是真的吗？”木偶哭着问。
　　“不幸得很，这是真的！如今哭也没用。早就该想到！”

　　What was it? I will tell you, my dear little readers.

　　On awakening1, Pinocchio put his hand up to hishead andthere he found--Guess!

　　He found that, during the night, his ears had grownat least ten fullinches!

　　You must know that the Marionette2, even from hisbirth, had very smallears, so small indeed that to thenaked eye they could hardly be seen. Fancy howhe feltwhen he noticed that overnight those two dainty organshad become as longas shoe brushes!

　　He went in search of a mirror, but not finding any,he just filled abasin with water and looked at himself.

　　There he saw what he never could have wished to see.

　　His manly3 figure was adorned4 and enriched by abeautifulpair of donkey's ears.

　　I leave you to think of the terrible grief, the shame,the despair ofthe poor Marionette.

　　He began to cry, to scream, to knock his head againstthe wall, butthe more he shrieked5, the longer and themore hairy grewhis ears.

　　At those piercing shrieks6, a Dormouse came into theroom, afat little Dormouse, who lived upstairs. SeeingPinocchio so grief-stricken, sheasked him anxiously:

这是一个什么晴天霹雳呢？
　　我亲爱的小读者，我这就来告诉大家，这个晴天霹雳就是：皮诺乔早晨醒来，自然而然地伸手去抓头，他一抓头就发现……
　　诸位猜他发现了什么？
　　他大吃一惊，竟发现他的两只耳朵变得比手掌还大。
　　诸位知道，木偶有生以来，两只耳朵是很小很小的，小得连看也看不见！诸位想象一下，当他发现两只耳朵一夜工夫变得那么长，长得像两把地板刷子的时候，他是多么吃惊啊。
　　他马上去找镜子照，可是镜子没找到，就在洗脸架上的洗脸盆里倒上水，往水里一看，就看见了他永远不想看见的事情，也就是说，他看见他的影子在头上添了一对妙不可言的驴耳朵。
　　请诸位想想，可怜的皮诺乔这一来是多么苦恼、害臊和绝望啊！
　　他开始又哭又叫，用脑袋去撞墙。可他越是绝望，耳朵长得越长，直到耳朵尖都长出毛来。
　　听到这哇哇叫声，住楼上的一只漂亮土拨鼠走进木偶的屋子，看见他像发了疯似的，就关心地问他

Chapter 105

　　As soon as they had set foot in that land, Pinocchio,Lamp-Wick, andall the other boys who had traveled withthem started out on a tour of investigation21. Theywandered everywhere, theylooked into every nook andcorner, house and theater. They became everybody'sfriend.

　　Who could be happier than they?

　　What with entertainments and parties, the hours, the days,the weekspassed like lightning.

　　"Oh, what a beautiful life this is!" said Pinocchioeachtime that, by chance, he met his friend Lamp-Wick.

　　"Was I right or wrong?" answered Lamp-Wick. "Andto thinkyou did not want to come! To think that evenyesterday the idea came into yourhead to return hometo see your Fairy and to start studying again! If todayyouare free from pencils and books and school, you oweit to me, to my advice, tomy care. Do you admit it? Onlytrue friends count, after all.""It'strue, Lamp-Wick, it's true. If today I am a reallyhappy boy, it is all becauseof you. And to think that theteacher, when speaking of you, used to say, `Donot gowith that Lamp-Wick! He is a bad companion and someday he will lead youastray.'""Poor teacher!" answered the other, nodding his head.

　　"Indeed I know how much he disliked me and how heenjoyedspeaking ill of me. But I am of a generous nature,and I gladly forgivehim.""Great soul!" said Pinocchio, fondly embracing his friend.

　　Five months passed and the boys continued playing andenjoyingthemselves from morn till night, without everseeing a book, or a desk, or aschool. But, my children,there came a morning when Pinocchio awoke and foundagreat surprise awaiting him, a surprise which made himfeel very unhappy, as youshall see.

皮诺乔、小灯芯，以及赶车的带来的一大车孩子，进了城一下车就马上投入这种大混乱之中。才几分钟，诸位很容易想象到，他们已经和所有的孩子交上了朋友。天底下还有谁能比他们更幸福，更快活呢？
　　在没完没了的种种玩乐当中，一个钟头又一个钟头，一天又一天，一个星期又一个星期，飞也似地过去了。
　　“噢！多美的生活啊！”皮诺乔每次碰到小灯芯就说。
　　“看，我的话不错吧？”小灯芯回答说，“还说你不想来呢！还想回你那个仙女的家去，把时间浪费在学习上呢！……你今天用不着再为什么书本和学校伤脑筋了，你都得谢谢我，谢谢我的好主意，谢谢我的关心，对不对？只有真正的朋友才会帮你这么大的忙。”
　　“你说得对，小灯芯！今天我成为真正快活的孩子，全都亏了你。可你知道老师跟我是怎么讲你的？他总是跟我说：‘别跟小灯芯这小流氓在一起，因为小灯芯是个坏同学，只会怂恿你做坏事！’……”
　　“可怜的老师！”小灯芯摇摇头回答说。“我知道得太清楚了，他讨厌我，老说我坏话，可我宽宏大量，我原谅他！”
　　“你真是宽宏大量！”皮诺乔说着，热情地拥抱他的朋友，在他脑门上亲了亲。
　　他们书也不读，学校也不上，一天天就这样无忧无虑地玩啊，乐啊，一下子五个月过去了。可是有一天皮诺乔清早醒来，就像老话说的，遇到了一个晴天霹雳，一下子什么劲都没有了。

Chapter 104

　　The night is cool and the road is long."Pinocchio obeyedwithout another word. The wagonstarted again. Toward dawn the next morning theyfinallyreached that much-longed-for country, the Land of Toys.

　　This great land was entirely17 different from any otherplacein the world. Its population, large though it was,was composed wholly of boys.The oldest were aboutfourteen years of age, the youngest, eight. In thestreet,there was such a racket, such shouting, such blowing oftrumpets, that itwas deafening18. Everywhere groups ofboys weregathered together. Some played at marbles, athopscotch, at ball. Others rode onbicycles or on woodenhorses. Some played at blindman's buff, others at tag.

　　Here a group played circus, there another sang and recited.

　　A few turned somersaults, others walked on their handswith theirfeet in the air. Generals in full uniform leadingregiments of cardboardsoldiers passed by. Laughter,shrieks, howls, catcalls, hand-clapping followedthisparade. One boy made a noise like a hen, another likea rooster, and a thirdimitated a lion in his den3. Alltogether they created sucha pandemonium19 that it wouldhave beennecessary for you to put cotton in your ears.

　　The squares were filled with small wooden theaters,overflowing withboys from morning till night, and on thewalls of the houses, written with charcoal20, were wordslike these: HURRAH FORTHE LAND OF TOYS! DOWN WITHARITHMETIC! NO MORE SCHOOL!

夜很冷，路很长。”
　　皮诺乔没说什么，马上照办。车子重新上路。天亮的时候，他们兴高采烈地来到了“玩儿国”。
　　这个国家跟世界上任何国家不同。它全国都是小孩子，最大的十四岁，最小的才八岁。满街都是嘻嘻哈哈声，吵闹声，叫喊声，叫人头都搞昏了！到处是一群群的小捣蛋：有的打弹子，有的扔石片，有的打球，有的蹬自行车，有的骑木马，有的捉迷藏，有的玩追人，有的扮小丑吃火，有的朗诵，有的唱歌，有的翻跟头，有的竖蜻蜓，有的滚铁环，有的身穿将军装，戴纸头盔，骑一只硬纸板做的马，有的笑，有的叫，有的喊，有的拍手，有的吹口哨，有的学母鸡生蛋咯咯叫。总而言之是一片乱七八糟，大吵大闹，叫人得用棉花塞住耳朵，别让耳朵给震聋了。所有的广场都只见小戏棚，从早到晚挤满了孩子。所有的墙上都可以读到用炭写的最好玩的东西，像：“完具万水：”（应该是“玩具万岁！”）“我们不在要学小！”（应该是我们不再要学校！”）“打到算树！”（应该是“打倒算术！”）等等，等等。

Chapter 103

　　While the donkeys galloped13 along the stony14 road, theMarionette fancied heheard a very quiet voice whispering to him:

　　"Poor silly! You have done as you wished. But youare going tobe a sorry boy before very long."Pinocchio, greatly frightened, lookedabout him to seewhence the words had come, but he saw no one. Thedonkeysgalloped, the wagon rolled on smoothly15, theboys slept (Lamp-Wick snoredlike a dormouse) and thelittle, fat driver sang sleepily between his teeth.

　　After a mile or so, Pinocchio again heard the samefaint voicewhispering: "Remember, little simpleton!

　　Boys who stop studying and turn their backs upon booksand schoolsand teachers in order to give all their timeto nonsense and pleasure, sooner orlater come to grief.

　　Oh, how well I know this! How well I can prove it to you!

　　A day will come when you will weep bitterly, even as Iam weepingnow--but it will be too late!"At these whispered words, the Marionettegrew moreand more frightened. He jumped to the ground, ran upto the donkey onwhose back he had been riding, andtaking his nose in his hands, looked at him.Think howgreat was his surprise when he saw that the donkey wasweeping--weepingjust like a boy!

"Hey,Mr. Driver!" cried the Marionette. "Do you know whatstrange thing ishappening here! This donkey weeps.""Let him weep. When he getsmarried, he will have time to laugh.""Have you perhaps taught him tospeak?""No, he learned to mumble16 a few words when he livedforthree years with a band of trained dogs.""Poorbeast!""Come, come," said the Little Man, "do not lose timeovera donkey that can weep. Mount quickly and let us go.

　　车子走了半公里光景，皮诺乔又听见那很轻的声音对他说：
　　“小傻瓜，你要记住！孩子不肯学习，一看见书，看见学校，看见老师就背过身子，只想玩儿，结果都只会倒大霉！……这个我有教训，我知道！……可能跟你这么说！总有一天你也会像我今天一样地哭……可到那时候，你就来不及啦！……”
　　木偶听到这番很轻很轻，轻得像耳语似的话，有生以来还没那么害怕过，连忙打驴子屁股上跳下来，跑过去抓住驴子的嘴。
　　请诸位想象一下，木偶这时候有多么惊奇吧，因为他看到这头驴子在哭……哭得完完全全像个孩子！
　　“喂，赶车的先生，”皮诺乔对车主叫道，“您知道这儿出了什么新鲜玩意儿吗？这头驴子在哭。
　　“让它去哭吧，到它娶媳妇的时候就会笑的。”
　　“也许您教会它说话了吧？”
　　“没有。它在一群受过训练的狗那里待过三年，自己学会了咕噜两句话。”
　　“可怜的小驴子！……”
　　“快，快，”赶车的说，“别浪费咱们的时间去看驴子哭了。骑上去吧，咱们要走了。夜很冷，路很长。”

Chapter 102

　　No sooner said than done. He approached the firstdonkey and tried tomount it. But the little animal turnedsuddenly and gave him such a terriblekick in the stomachthat Pinocchio was thrown to the ground and fell withhislegs in the air.

　　At this unlooked-for entertainment, the whole companyof runaways8 laughed uproariously.

　　The little fat man did not laugh. He went up to the re belliousanimal, and, still smiling, bent9 over him lovinglyand bit offhalf of his right ear.

　　In the meantime, Pinocchio lifted himself up from theground, andwith one leap landed on the donkey's back.

　　The leap was so well taken that all the boys shouted,"Hurrah10 for Pinocchio!" andclapped their hands in hearty11applause.

　　Suddenly the little donkey gave a kick with his twohind feet and, atthis unexpected move, the poor Marionettefound himself once again sprawling12 right in themiddle of theroad.

　　Again the boys shouted with laughter. But the LittleMan, instead oflaughing, became so loving toward thelittle animal that, with another kiss, hebit off half ofhis left ear.

　　"You can mount now, my boy," he then said to Pinocchio.

　　"Have no fear. That donkey was worried about something,but Ihave spoken to him and now he seems quiet and reasonable."Pinocchiomounted and the wagon started on its way.

说干就干。他走近第一对驴子里右面的一头，要骑到它身上去。可是这小牲口粗暴地转过身来，在他肚子上狠狠地就是一脚，踢了他一个两脚朝天。
　　诸位可以想象，所有孩子看到这个场面，全都毫不客气地乱笑一通！
　　可赶车的不笑。他十分疼爱似的走到发脾气的驴子身边，装出要亲亲它的样子，却一口咬掉了它半只右耳朵。
　　这时候皮诺乔赶紧从地上爬起来，一跳就跳上了这头可怜牲口的屁股。他跳得那么利索，孩子们一下子停下笑，欢呼了起来：“好啊，皮诺乔！”还不住地拍手。
　　可驴子一下子又蹦起两只腿，用尽力气一踢，把可怜的木偶甩到路当中一堆石子上面。
　　孩子们又大笑起来。可赶车的不笑，还是装出十分疼爱那不听话的驴子的样子，要去亲亲它，一口又咬掉它半只左耳朵。然后他对木偶说：
　　“再骑上去，不用怕。这驴子有点任性，我跟它咬了两下耳朵，我想它变得温顺懂得道理了。”
　　皮诺乔骑上驴子，车子出发了。可是当驴子这么跑着，车子在圆石子大道上滚动着的时候，木偶觉得听到一个很轻很轻、仅仅听得出来的声音对他说：
　　“可怜的傻瓜！你要由着自己性子做的话，你会后悔的！”
　　皮诺乔有点儿害怕，东张西望，想弄明白这声音到底是打哪来的。可他什么人也没见：驴子在跑，车子在滚动，车上的孩子在打盹，小灯芯在呼呼大睡，赶车的坐在赶车座儿上打牙缝里轻轻唱着歌：
　　“大家夜里都睡觉，
　　可我从来就不睡……”

　　No sooner had the wagon stopped than the little fatman turned toLamp-Wick. With bows and smiles, heasked in a wheedling tone:

　　"Tell me, my fine boy, do you also want to come tomy wonderfulcountry?""Indeed I do.""But I warn you, my little dear,there's no more roomin the wagon. It is full.""Never mind,"answered Lamp-Wick. "If there's noroom inside, I can sit on the top of thecoach."And with one leap, he perched himself there.

　　"What about you, my love?" asked the Little Man,turningpolitely to Pinocchio. "What are you going to do?

　　Will you come with us, or do you stay here?""I stayhere," answered Pinocchio. "I want to returnhome, as I prefer tostudy and to succeed in life.""May that bring youluck!""Pinocchio!" Lamp-Wick called out. "Listen to me.

　　Come with us and we'll always be happy.""No, no,no!""Come with us and we'll always be happy," cried fourothervoices from the wagon.

　　"Come with us and we'll always be happy," shouted theonehundred and more boys in the wagon, all together.

　　"And if I go with you, what will my good Fairy say?"askedthe Marionette7, who was beginning to waverandweaken in his good resolutions.

　　"Don't worry so much. Only think that we are goingto a landwhere we shall be allowed to make all the racketwe like from morning tillnight."Pinocchio did not answer, but sighed deeply once--twice--a thirdtime. Finally, he said:

"Makeroom for me. I want to go, too!""The seats are all filled,"answered the Little Man,"but to show you how much I think of you, take my placeascoachman.""And you?""I'll walk.""No, indeed. Icould not permit such a thing. I muchprefer riding one of these donkeys,"cried Pinocchio.

　　“告诉我，我的好孩子，你也要到那幸福的国家去吗？”
　　“不用说，当然要去。”
　　“可我要告诉你，我的小宝贝，车上已经没有地方了，瞧，全挤满了！……”
　　“没关系！小灯芯回答说，“车上没地方，我将就点，就坐在车辕上。”
　　他说着一跳就跳上去，骑在车辕上。
　　“那你呢？我的小宝贝？……”赶车的十分客气地向皮诺乔转过来问。“你打算怎样，跟我们去还是留下？……”
　　“我留下，”皮诺乔回答，“我要回家。我要和所有好孩子那样学习，在学样里做个好学生。”
　　“祝你成功！”
　　“皮诺乔！”小灯芯说了，“听我的话，跟我们去吧，咱们会过得快活的。”
　　“不去，不去，不去！”
　　“跟我们去吧，咱们会过得快活的，”车上又有四个人叫道。
　　“跟我们去吧，咱们会过得快活的，”车上有成百个人同声嚷嚷起来。
　　“我跟你们去，我的好仙女会怎么说呢？”木偶话是这么说，可心动了，开始动摇了。“别去想这种伤脑筋事。你就想一想，咱们要到一个国家去，到了那儿，咱们可以无拘无束，从早玩到晚！”
　　皮诺乔没有回答，只是叹了一口气，叹了两口气，叹了三口气，最后说：
　　“给我挪点地方，我也要去！……”
　　“都挤满了，”赶车的回答说，“不过为了表示欢迎你，我可以让你坐到赶车座儿上来……”
　　“那您呢？……”
　　“我在地上走。”
　　“不行，说真个的，我不答应。我宁愿骑到随便那一头驴子的屁股上面！”皮诺乔叫道。

Chapter 100

Afterfive months of play, Pinocchio wakes up one fine morningand finds a greatsurprise awaiting himFinally the wagon1 arrived. It made no noise, foritswheels were bound with straw and rags.

　　It was drawn2 by twelve pair of donkeys, allof the samesize, but all of different color. Some were gray, otherswhite, andstill others a mixture of brown and black.

　　Here and there were a few with large yellow and blue stripes.

　　The strangest thing of all was that those twenty-fourdonkeys,instead of being iron-shod like any other beastof burden, had on their feetlaced shoes made of leather,just like the ones boys wear.

　　And the driver of the wagon?

　　Imagine to yourselves a little, fat man, much widerthan he was long,round and shiny as a ball of butter, witha face beaming like an apple, a littlemouth that alwayssmiled, and a voice small and wheedling4 like that of a catbegging forfood.

　　No sooner did any boy see him than he fell in love withhim, andnothing satisfied him but to be allowed to ridein his wagon to that lovelyplace called the Land of Toys.

Infact the wagon was so closely packed with boys ofall ages that it looked like abox of sardines5. They wereuncomfortable, they werepiled one on top of the other,they could hardly breathe; yet not one word ofcomplaintwas heard. The thought that in a few hours they wouldreach a countrywhere there were no schools, no books,no teachers, made these boys so happythat they feltneither hunger, nor thirst, nor sleep, nor discomfort6.

　　最后车子到了，车子一路过来、一点声音也没有，因为轮子上裹着干草和破布。
　　拉车的是十二对小驴子，它们都同样大小，只是毛色两样，
　　有些驴子是灰的；有些驴子是白的；有些驴子是斑白的，像撒上了胡椒和盐；有些驴子是一道一道很宽的黄条子和蓝条子。
　　可有一点最奇怪，这十二对驴子，也就是二十四头驴子，不像其他拉车驮货的牲口那样打上铁掌，却像人那样穿着白皮靴。
　　那赶车的呢？……
　　请诸位想象那么个小个子，横里宽，直里短，软扑扑，油腻腻，像一球黄油，苹果脸，嘴巴很小，老是笑嘻嘻的，声音又尖又嗲，似猫向主人讨吃时的叫声。
　　所有的孩子一看见他就不由得喜欢他，抢着要上他的车，给带到这个真正的快乐国家去。这国家在地图上有一个国的名字，叫“玩儿国”。
　　说实在的，车上八岁到十二岁的孩子都已经挤满了，一个叠一个，活像一堆腌鳀鱼。他们给挤得够呛，连气都几乎透不过来，可是没人叫一声“唉呀！”没人说一句埋怨话。他们感到安慰，因为他们知道，过几个钟头他们就要到一个国家，那儿没有书本，没有学校，没有老师。他们高兴得什么都能忍耐，他们不觉得苦，不觉得累，不觉得饿，不觉得渴，甚至不觉得瞌睡。

If it were only one hour, I might wait foryou.""And the Fairy?""By this time I'm late, and one hourmore or less makesvery little difference.""Poor Pinocchio! And if theFairy scolds you?""Oh, I'll let her scold. After she gets tired, shewill stop."In the meantime10, the night became darker anddarker.

　　“可怜的皮诺乔！万一仙女骂你呢？”
　　“没法子！让她骂吧。骂够了会不骂的。”
　　这时天已经全黑，黑得伸手不见五指了。忽然只见远远有一点灯光在移动……还听到铃铛声和喇叭声，声音很轻很闷，似是蚊子嗡嗡叫！
　　“来了！”小灯芯叫着跳起来。
　　“谁来了？”皮诺乔低声问。
　　“来接我的车子。好，你要去吗？去还是不去？”
　　“可你说的是真话吗？”木偶问道，“在那个国家里孩子都不要学习？”
