Chapter 78

　　We are tired of hearing you bragging4 aboutyourself,you little turkey cock! You may not be afraid of us,but remember weare not afraid of you, either!

　　You are alone, you know, and we are seven.""Like the sevensins," said Pinocchio, still laughing.

　　"Did you hear that? He has insulted us all. He has called ussins.""Pinocchio, apologize for that, or lookout!""Cuck--oo!" said the Marionette, mocking them with histhumb to his nose.

　　"You'll be sorry!""Cuck--oo!""We'll whipyou soundly!""Cuck--oo!""You'll go home with a brokennose!""Cuck--oo!""Very well, then! Take that, and keep itfor your supper,"called out the boldest of his tormentors.

　　And with the words, he gave Pinocchio a terrible blow on the head.

　　Pinocchio answered with another blow, and that wasthe signal for thebeginning of the fray5.In a few moments,the fight raged hot and heavy on both sides.

　　Pinocchio, although alone, defended himself bravely.

　　With those two wooden feet of his, he worked so fastthat hisopponents kept at a respectful distance.

　　Wherever they landed, they left their painful markand the boys couldonly run away and howl.

　　Enraged at not being able to fight the Marionette at closequarters,they started to throw all kinds of books at him.

　　Readers, geographies, histories, grammars flew in all directions.

“别到这儿来夸口，别到这儿来斗嘴！……你要是不怕我们，我们也不怕你！记好了，你只有一个，我们有七个。”
　　“七个什么，七个大罪①，”皮诺乔大笑着说。
　　“你们听见了吗，他侮辱我们大伙儿，他管我们叫七个大罪！……”
　　“皮诺乔！你侮辱了我们，要你向我们道歉……要不你就倒霉！……”
　　“咕咕！”木偶叫着，用食指刮刮鼻尖，表示讥笑他们。
　　“皮诺乔，你没有好结果！……”
　　“咕咕！”
　　“我们要像揍驴子那么揍你！……”
　　“咕咕！”
　　“你要带着个打扁的鼻子回家！……”
　　“咕咕！”
　　“我们这就来揍你一个咕咕！”这帮小坏蛋当中最凶的一个叫道。“受用受用这个吧，今天晚上就不用吃晚饭了。”
　　他说着就给了木偶脑袋上一拳头。
　　老话说，一报还一报，因此可以想象到，木偶马上就回敬他一拳头。这么你一拳来我一拳去，这场架就越打越大，越打越厉害了。
　　皮诺乔虽然只有一个，可自卫得像个英雄似的。他用两只硬绷绷的木头脚踢得那么利索，叫他那些敌人离得远远的不敢走近。凡是他的脚所碰到之处，马上就留下纪念品——一大块乌青。
　　孩子们眼看不能同木偶肉搏，气得要命，心想最好还是扔东西，就打开书包，开始向他扔语文课本、文法书、小戒尺、小零碎、图瓦尔的故事书、巴契尼的《小鸡》以及其他教科书。

Chapter 77

Thegreat battle between Pinocchio and his playmates.

　　One is wounded. Pinocchio is arrestedGoing like the wind, Pinocchiotook but a very short timeto reach the shore. He glanced all about him, butthere wasno sign of a Shark. The sea was as smooth as glass.

　　"Hey there, boys! Where's that Shark?" he asked,turning tohis playmates.

　　"He may have gone for his breakfast," said one of them,laughing.

　　"Or, perhaps, he went to bed for a little nap,"saidanother, laughing also.

　　From the answers and the laughter which followed them,Pinocchiounderstood that the boys had played a trick on him.

　　"What now?" he said angrily to them. "What's thejoke?""Oh, the joke's on you!" cried his tormentors,laughingmore heartily1thanever, and dancing gayly around the Marionette2.

　　"And that is--?""That we have made you stay out ofschool to comewith us. Aren't you ashamed of being such a goody-goody,and ofstudying so hard? You never have a bit of enjoyment3.""Andwhat is it to you, if I do study?""What does the teacher think of us,you mean?""Why?""Don't you see? If you study and we don't,we pay forit. After all, it's only fair to look out forourselves.""What do you want me to do?""Hate school andbooks and teachers, as we all do. Theyare your worst enemies, you know, andthey like to makeyou as unhappy as they can.""And if I go onstudying, what will you do to me?""You'll pay for it!""Really,you amuse me," answered the Marionette, nodding his head.

　　"Hey, Pinocchio," cried the tallest of them all,"that will do.

皮诺乔一到海边，马上放眼向海上眺望，可是什么鲨鱼也没看见。大海平静得像一面水晶的镜子。
　　“喂，鲨鱼在哪儿？”他转脸问同学，
　　“吃早饭去了，”一个同学笑着回答说。
　　“要不就是上床去睡一会儿了，”另一个同学接上一句，笑得前仰后合。
　　皮诺乔听了这些乱七八糟的回答和莫名其妙的狂笑，知道是他那些同学跟他开了个大玩笑，骗他上了当。他十分恼火，气乎乎地说：
　　“怎么？拿鲨鱼的鬼话来骗我，这是什么道理？”
　　“当然有道理！……”那些小坏蛋异口同声说，
　　“什么道理？……”
　　“让你不去上学，让你跟我们走。你天天上课那么认真，那么用功，你不害臊吗？像你那么学习，你不害臊吗？”
　　“我学我的，跟你们有什么关系？”
　　“跟我们关系大极了。这一来，老师就觉得我们不好……”
　　“为什么？”
　　“有人爱读书，就使我们这种不愿意读书的人丢脸，可我们不想丢脸！我们也有我们的自尊心！”
　　“那我该怎么办，你们才高兴呢？”
　　“你也应该讨厌学校，讨厌功课，讨厌老师。这是我们的三大敌人。”
　　“如果我想要继续学习呢？”
　　“那我们就对你不客气了，一有机会就要跟你算账！……”
　　“你们简直叫我好笑。”木偶摇摇头说。
　　“哼，皮诺乔！”孩子当中最大的一个走到他面前叫道

　　Witha lesson more or less, we are always the same donkeys.""And what willthe teacher say?""Let him talk. He is paid to grumble10 all daylong.""And my mother?""Mothers don't know anything,"answered those scamps.

　　"Doyou know what I'll do?" said Pinocchio.

　　"Forcertain reasons of mine, I, too, want to see that Shark;but I'll go afterschool. I can see him then as well as now.""Poor simpleton!"cried one of the boys. "Do you thinkthat a fish of that size will standthere waiting for you?

　　Heturns and off he goes, and no one will ever be the wiser.""How longdoes it take from here to the shore?" asked the Marionette.

　　"Onehour there and back.""Very well, then. Let's see who gets therefirst!" cried Pinocchio.

　　Atthe signal, the little troop, with books under their arms,dashed across thefields. Pinocchio led the way, runningas if on wings, the others following asfast as they could.

　　Nowand again, he looked back and, seeing his followers hot and tired, and withtongues hanging out, he laughed out heartily11. Unhappy boy! If he had onlyknown then the dreadful12 things that were tohappen to him on account of his disobedience!

多上一课少上一课都一祥，反正不懂，还是驴子。”
　　“老师会怎么说呢？”
　　“让老师去说吧。他天天咕噜，也该给他点报应了。”
　　“那我妈妈呢？……”
　　“咱们的妈妈什么都不会知道的。”这些顽皮孩子说。
　　“你们知道我怎么办吗？”皮诺乔说，“我因为某种理由，也要去看看这条鲨鱼……可我下了课去。”
　　“可怜的糊涂虫！”有一个孩子大叫，“这么大一条鱼，你以为它会呆在那儿等着，随便你什么时候去看吗？它给人一搞烦，转过身子就上别处去了，要看也看不到啦。”
　　“打这儿到海边要走多久，”木偶问道。
　　“来回一个钟头。”
　　“那就去吧！谁跑得最快谁就最有种！”皮诺乔叫道，
　　这声起步信号一响，一帮顽皮孩子就把他们的书刊、练习本啊夹在胳肢窝里，抢着向田野奔去了。皮诺乔跑在最前面，只觉得脚上长了翅膀。
　　他不时回过脸去，笑话那些落在他后面有好一段路的同学。他看见他们气喘咻咻，上气不接下气，浑身是尘土，吐出了舌头，不由得衷心大笑起来。这时候，这可怜的家伙还不知道他正在走向什么样的可怕事情，走向什么样的可怕灾难呢！……

　　Withthat kick and that blow Pinocchio gained everybody's favor.

　　Everyoneadmired him, danced attendance5 upon him, pettedand caressed6 him.

　　Asthe days passed into weeks, even the teacher praised him,for he saw him attentive7, hard working, and wideawake,always the first to come in the morning, and the lastto leave when schoolwas over.

　　Pinocchio'sonly fault was that he had too many friends.

　　Amongthese were many well-known rascals8, who carednot a jot9 for study or forsuccess.

　　Theteacher warned him each day, and even the goodFairy repeated to him many times:

　　"Takecare, Pinocchio! Those bad companions willsooner or later make you lose yourlove for study.

　　Someday they will lead you astray.""There's no such danger,"answered the Marionette,shrugging his shoulders and pointing to his forehead asifto say, "I'm too wise."So it happened that one day, as he waswalking to school,he met some boys who ran up to him and said:

　　"Haveyou heard the news?""No!""A Shark as big as a mountain hasbeen seen near the shore.""Really? I wonder if it could be the sameone I heardof when my father was drowned?""We are going to see it.Are you coming?""No, not I. I must go to school.""What doyou care about school? You can go there tomorrow.

经过脚这么一踢，胳膊这么一顶，皮诺乔马上得到全校学生的尊重和同情。他们都很喜欢他。
　　老师看见他上课专心，读书用功，肯动脑筋，总是第一个进学校，放学最后一个走，也很称赞他。
　　他唯一的缺点就是结交的同学太多。其中有不少是鼎鼎大名的小坏蛋，一点不想读书，一点不想有出息。
　　老师天天要他小心，善良的仙女也不断翻来覆去对他说：
　　“小心啊，皮诺乔！迟早有一天，你这种同学会使你不爱学习的，说不定有一天还会使你闯大祸。”
　　“不要紧！”木偶耸耸肩膀回答说，还用食指敲敲脑门，表示：“这里面有脑筋的！”
　　于是有一天，他在上学的时候，忽然遇到那一帮同学迎面走来，对他说：
　　“有一个重要的新闻你知道吗？”
　　“不知道。”
　　“这儿海边来了一条鲨鱼，大得像座山？”
　　“真的？……是那条鲨鱼吗，当时吃掉我可怜的爸爸的？”
　　“我们到海边去看。你也去吗？”
　　“我吗？不去。我要上学校去。”

Chapter 74

Pinocchio goes to the seashore with his friendsto see the Terrible SharkInthe morning, bright and early, Pinocchio started for school.

　　Imaginewhat the boys said when they saw a Marionetteenter the classroom! They laugheduntil they cried. Everyoneplayed tricks on him. One pulled his hat off,anothertugged at his coat, a third tried to paint a mustache underhis nose. Oneeven attempted to tie strings2 to his feet andhis handsto make him dance.

　　Fora while Pinocchio was very calm and quiet. Finally,however, he lost allpatience and turning to his tormentors,he said to them threateningly:

　　"Careful,boys, I haven't come here to be made fun of.

　　I'llrespect you and I want you to respect me.""Hurrah3 for Dr. Know-all! Youhave spoken like aprinted book!" howled the boys, bursting with laughter.

　　Oneof them, more impudent4 than the rest, put outhishand to pull the Marionette1's nose.

　　Buthe was not quick enough, for Pinocchio stretchedhis leg under the table andkicked him hard on the shin.

　　"Oh,what hard feet!" cried the boy, rubbing the spotwhere the Marionette hadkicked him.

　　"Andwhat elbows! They are even harder than the feet!"shouted another one, who,because of some other trick,had received a blow in the stomach.

第二天皮诺乔就上了公立学校。
　　诸位想象一下，孩子们看见一个木偶进他们的学校，会怎么样捉弄他！他们哈哈大笑，笑个没完没了。有人开这种玩笑，有人开那种玩笑。有人摘他的帽子，有人打后面拉他的小背心。有人想用墨水在他鼻子下面画两撇大胡子，有人想用线绑在他的脚上和手上，好牵着线让他跳舞。
　　起初皮诺乔很镇静，不去理睬他们。可后来忍不住了，他向把他缠得最厉害、捉弄得最凶的人转过身去，板起脸说：
　　“小心点，孩子们。我上这儿来可不是给你们当小丑的。我尊重大家，希望大家也尊重我。”
　　“好一个小鬼！你说出话来像一本印出来的书！”那些顽皮孩子大叫，哈哈笑得跳起来。一个最大胆妄为的孩子伸手要抓木偶的鼻尖。
　　可他没来得及抓住，因为皮诺乔在桌子下面伸出脚来，在他小腿骨上狠狠踢了一下。
　　“唉哟！多硬的脚啊！”那孩子大叫，拼命搓给木偶踢出来的乌青。
　　“还有胳膊肘！……它比脚还硬！”另外一个说。他因为开无礼的玩笑，肚子给木偶的胳膊顶了一下。

Remember it is never too late to learn.""But I don't wanteither trade or profession.""Why?""Because work wearies9 me!""My dearboy," said the Fairy, "people who speak as you do usually end theirdays either in a prison or in ahospital.

　　Afterall, the life of a Marionette has grown very tiresometo me and I want to becomea boy, no matter how hard it is.

　　Youpromise that, do you not?""Yes, I promise, and now it is up toyou."

“然后选择一种你喜欢的手艺或者工作……”
　　皮诺乔脸都板起来了。
　　“你牙齿缝里咕噜些什么，”仙女用不高兴的口气问他。
　　“我说的是……”木偶低声叽叽叫着说，“现在才去上学，好像晚了点……”
　　“一点也不晚，我的宝贝。你记住了，读书学习是永远不会晚的。”
　　“可我不想干手艺或工作什么的……”
　　“为什么？”
　　“因为我觉得干活太累。”
　　“我的孩子，”仙女说，“说这种话的人，最后差不多不是进监狱就是进医院。告诉我，一个人不管生下来是穷是富，在这个世界上都得做点事，干上一行，都要劳动。懒惰没有好结果！懒惰是一种最坏的毛病，必须马上从小治好。要不，大了就再也治不好了！”
　　这番话打动了皮诺乔的心。他高兴地又抬起头来，对仙女说：

　　Hegrasped the Fairy's hands and kissed them so hard thatit looked as if he hadlost his head. Then lifting his face,he looked at her lovingly and asked:"Tell me, little Mother,it isn't true that you are dead, isit?""It doesn't seem so," answered the Fairy, smiling.

　　"Ifyou only knew how I suffered and how I wept when I read `Herelies--'""I know it, and for that I have forgiven you. The depth ofyour sorrow made me see that you have a kind heart.

　　Thereis always hope for boys with hearts such as yours,though they may often bevery mischievous6. This is thereason why I havecome so far to look for you. From nowon, I'll be your own littlemother.""Oh! How lovely!" cried Pinocchio, jumping with joy.

　　"Youwill obey me always and do as I wish?""Gladly, very gladly, more thangladly!""Beginning tomorrow," said the Fairy, "you'll go toschool every day."Pinocchio's face fell a little.

“我不知道。”
　　“我还能看见他和拥抱他吗，我有这份福气吗？”
　　“我相信你有，而且我保证。”
　　皮诺乔听了这个回答，高兴得抓住仙女的手发疯似地吻起来。接着他抬起头，亲热地看着仙女问道：
　　“告诉我，好妈妈，你不是真死了吧？”
　　“好像不是，”仙女微笑着回答。
　　“你知道我当时多么伤心，觉得喉咙都堵住了，一个字一个字地读：‘这里安眠着……’”
　　“我知道，因此我就原谅你了。你的伤心是真诚的，这使我知道，你有一顾善良的心。一个孩子有颗善良的心，即使有点顽皮，有些不好的习惯，总还是有希望，就是说，总是可以希望他重新走上正路的，因此我跟到这儿来找你。我要做你的妈妈……”
　　“噢！多美啊！”皮诺乔大叫，高兴得跳起来。
　　“你要听我的话，永远照我对你说的话去做。”

Chapter 71

Pinocchio promises the Fairy to be good and to study,as he is growingtired of being a Marionette1,and wishes to become a realboyIf Pinocchio cried much longer, the little woman thoughthe would melt away,so she finally admitted that she wasthe little Fairy with Azure2 Hair.

　　"You rascal3 of a Marionette! How didyou know it was I?"she asked, laughing.

　　"Mylove for you told me who you were.""Do you remember? You left me whenI was a little girl and now you find me a grown woman. I am so old, Icouldalmost be your mother!""I am very glad of that, for then I cancall you motherinstead of sister. For a long time I have wanted a mother,justlike other boys. But how did you grow so quickly?""That's asecret!""Tell it to me. I also want to grow a little. Look at me!

　　Ihave never grown higher than a penny's worth of cheese.""But youcan't grow," answered the Fairy.

　　"Whynot?""Because Marionettes never grow. They are born Marionettes,theylive Marionettes, and they die Marionettes.""Oh, I'm tired of alwaysbeing a Marionette!" cried Pinocchio disgustedly.

　　"It'sabout time for me to grow into a man as everyone else does.""And youwill if you deserve it--""Really? What can I do to deserveit?""It's a very simple matter. Try to act like a well-behavedchild.""Don't you think I do?""Far from it! Good boysare obedient4, and you, on thecontrary--""And I never obey.""Good boys love study andwork, but you--""And I, on the contrary, am a lazy fellow and a tramp5 all yearround.""Good boys always tell the truth.""And I always telllies.""Good boys go gladly to school.""And I get sick if Igo to school. From now on I'll be different.""Do you promise?""Ipromise. I want to become a good boy and be a comfort to my father.

好心的小妇人起先说她不是那位天蓝色头发的小仙女。可后来看到识破了，也不想再把这场喜剧继续演下去，终于承认她就是小仙女，她对皮诺乔说：
　　“你这木头小鬼！你怎么认出是我的？”
　　“我热爱您，就认出是您了。”
　　“你记得吗？你扔下我的时候，我还是个小姑娘，可你现在碰到我，我已经是个妇人了。我简直可以做你的妈妈了，”
　　“那我太高兴了，这样我就不是叫您姐姐，而要叫您妈妈了。多少日子以来，我一直想跟所有的孩子那样有个妈妈！……可您怎么会长得这样快的？”
　　“这是一个秘密。”
　　“告诉我吧。我也想长大一点。您没看到吗？我还是跟一个子儿的干酪那么高。”
　　“可你不会长大。”仙女回答说。
　　“为什么？”
　　“因为木偶是从来不长大的。他们生下来是木偶，活着是木偶，死了也是木偶。”
　　“噢！我老做木偶都做腻了！”皮诺乔拍着后脑勺大叫着说，“我现在要变人，跟所有人一样的人。”
　　“你会变人的，如果你配得上变人的话……”
　　“真的吗？怎么办才配得上呢？”
　　“容易极了，只要你一直做个好孩子。”
　　“噢，我不是个好孩子吗？”
　　“根本不是！好孩子听话，可你正好相反……”
　　“我从来不听话。”
　　“好孩子爱读书爱干活，可你……”
　　“正好相反，我一年到头偷懒，吊儿郎当。”
　　“好孩子向来说真话……”
　　“可我向来说假话。”
　　“好孩子高高兴兴去上学……”
　　“可学校叫我肚子疼。不过从今以后，我要改变我的生活。”
　　“你答应我这样做吗？”
　　“我答应你这样做。我要变成一个好孩子，我还要成为我爸爸的安慰……这会儿我可怜的爸爸在哪儿呢？”

　　"Verywell. I'll take the jug home for you."The jug was very heavy, and theMarionette, not beingstrong enough to carry it with his hands, had to put itonhis head.

　　Whenthey arrived home, the little woman made Pinocchiosit down at a small table andplaced before him thebread, the cauliflower, and the cake. Pinocchio did noteat;he devoured11. His stomach seemed abottomless pit.

　　Hishunger finally appeased12, he raised his head tothankhis kind benefactress. But he had not looked at her longwhen he gave a cryof surprise and sat there with his eyeswide open, his fork in the air, and hismouth filled withbread and cauliflower.

　　"Whyall this surprise?" asked the good woman, laughing.

　　"Because--"answered Pinocchio, stammering13 and stuttering,"because--youlook like--you remind me of--yes, yes,the same voice, the same eyes, the samehair--yes, yes,yes, you also have the same azure14 hair she had--Oh,mylittle Fairy, my little Fairy! Tell me that it is you!

　　Don'tmake me cry any longer! If you only knew! I havecried so much, I have sufferedso!"And Pinocchio threw himself on the floor and claspedthe knees of themysterious little woman.

“吃完花椰菜，我给你一块好吃的酒心糖。”
　　皮诺乔给最后一样好吃的东西吸引住，再也没法抗拒，下定决心说：
　　“没办法！就给您把这瓦罐水送到家去吧！”
　　瓦罐很重，木偶用两只手拿不动，就用头来顶。
　　到了家里，好心的小妇人让皮诺乔坐在一张铺好台布的小桌子旁边，在他面前放上面包、调好味的花椰菜和酒心糖。
　　皮诺乔不是吃而是吞。他的肚子像一间五个月没住人的空屋。
　　肚子本来饿得像咬一样痛，这时一点一点不痛了，他就抬起头来，想要谢谢给他吃饭的小妇人。可是才看第一眼，他就惊奇得拖长声音大叫：“噢——！”他坐在那里呆呆的一动不动，眼睛瞪圆，叉子高高举着，嘴巴里塞满了面包和花椰菜。
　　你为什么这样惊奇呀？”好心的小妇人笑着说。
　　“您是……”皮诺乔结结巴巴地回答，“您是……您是……您好像是……您让我想起了……对，对，对，同样的声音……同样的眼睛……同样的头发……对，对，对……您也有天蓝色的头发……像她一样！……唤，我的好仙女！……唤，我的好仙女！……跟我说一声就是您吧，的的确确就是您吧！……别叫我再哭了！你要是知道就好了！……我已经哭够了，我已经受够苦了！……”
　　皮诺乔这么说着，哭得泪如泉涌，跪倒在地，抱住这神秘小妇人的膝盖。

　　"Then,my boy, if you are really faint with hunger,eat two slices of your pride; and Ihope they don'tgive you indigestion."A few minutes after, a Bricklayerpassed by, carryinga pail full of plaster on his shoulder.

　　"Goodman, will you be kind enough to give a penny toa poor boy who is yawning fromhunger?""Gladly," answered the Bricklayer. "Come with meand carrysome plaster, and instead of one penny, I'll give youfive.""But the plaster is heavy," answered Pinocchio, "andthework too hard for me.""If the work is too hard for you, my boy,enjoy your yawnsand may they bring you luck!"In less than a half hour, atleast twenty people passedand Pinocchio begged of each one, but they allanswered:

　　"Aren'tyou ashamed? Instead of being a beggar in the streets,why don't you look forwork and earn your own bread?"Finally a little woman went by carrying twowater jugs8.

　　"Goodwoman, will you allow me to have a drink fromone of your jugs?" askedPinocchio, who was burning upwith thirst.

　　"Withpleasure, my boy!" she answered, setting thetwo jugs on the ground beforehim.

　　WhenPinocchio had had his fill, he grumbled,as he wiped his mouth:

　　"Mythirst is gone. If I could only as easily get rid of my hunger!"On hearingthese words, the good little woman immediately said:

　　"Ifyou help me to carry these jugs home, I'll give you aslice ofbread."Pinocchio looked at the jug9 and said neither yes norno.

　　"Andwith the bread, I'll give you a nice dish of cauliflower with white sauce onit."Pinocchio gave the jug another look and said neither yes nor no.

“我的孩子，如果你真觉得太饿了，你就切两大片你的骄傲来吃吧，可留神别吃撑了肚子。”
　　过了几分钟，街上又走过一个砌墙的，肩上扛着一桶灰泥。
　　“好心的人，行行好，给我这可怜孩子一个子儿吧，我饿得打哈欠了！”
　　“很高兴。来跟我一起搬这桶灰泥吧，”砌砖的回答说，“我不是给你一个子儿，而是给你五个。”
　　“可灰泥太重了，”皮诺乔回答说，“我不想花这力气，弄得筋疲力尽。”
　　“要是你不想花力气，那么，我的孩子，你就舒舒服服打你的哈欠吧，会给你带来好处的。”
　　不到半小时，至少走过了二十个人。皮诺乔向他们一个个讨钱，可他们都回答说：
　　“你不害臊吗？你不要当街乞讨了，还是找点活儿干干，学着自己挣面包吃吧！”
　　最后走过一位和善的小妇人，她提着两瓦罐水。
　　“好太太，让我在您的瓦罐里喝一口水好吗？”皮诺乔说，他渴得喉咙发烧，
　　“你就喝吧，我的孩子！”小妇人说着，把两瓦罐水放在地上，
　　皮诺乔像块海绵似地吸饱了水，然后擦着嘴，低声咕噜说：
　　“嘴是不渴了！肚子也不饿就好了！……”
　　好心的小妇人听了这两句话，马上接下去说：
　　“这里是两瓦罐水，你帮我拿一瓦罐，送到我家里，我就给一大块面包。”
　　皮诺乔看着瓦罐，不说好也不说不好。
　　“除了面包，还给你一大盆花椰莱，上面浇上油和辣酱油，”好心的小妇人又说。
　　皮诺乔又看了瓦罐一眼，还是不说好也不说不好。
