He wanted to cry, he wanted to give himself up todespair, he wantedto throw away the tray and all thatwas on it. Instead, either from pain orweakness, he fellto the floor in a dead faint.

　　When he regained20 his senses, he foundhimself stretchedout on a sofa and the Fairy was seated near him.

　　"This time also I forgive you," said the Fairy to him.

　　"But be careful not to get into mischief again."Pinocchiopromised to study and to behave himself.

　　And he kept his word for the remainder of the year. Atthe end of it,he passed first in all his examinations, andhis report was so good that theFairy said to him happily:

　　"Tomorrow your wish will come true.""And what isit?""Tomorrow you will cease to be a Marionette and will become areal boy."Pinocchio was beside himself with joy. All his friendsandschoolmates must be invited to celebrate the greatevent! The Fairy promised toprepare two hundred cupsof coffee-and-milk and four hundred slices oftoastbuttered on both sides.

　　The day promised to be a very gay and happy one, but--Unluckily, ina Marionette's life there's always a BUTwhich is apt to spoil everything.

他失望得想哭，想把托盘连同上面的东西一起甩掉，可不知是由于太伤心呢还是太饿，一下子昏倒了。
　　等到他醒来，他已经直挺挺躺在一张沙发床上，仙女就在他身边。
　　“这一回我也原谅了你，”仙女对他说，“可你再给我来这么一次，就没你好的！……”
　　皮诺乔赌咒发誓，说他要用功读书，做个很好很好的孩子。这一年下来，他都守住他的诺言。的确，他大考光荣地得了全校第一名，品行总的说来也得到好评，令人满意。因此仙女十分高兴，对他说：
　　“你的愿望明天终于要实现了！”
　　“你说什么？”
　　“到明天你就不再是一个木偶，而要变成一个真的孩子了。”
　　诸位没看到皮诺乔那份乐劲！他一直盼望着这个消息，如今听了，他那份高兴简直是无法想象的。为了庆祝这件大喜事，明天仙女家要举行盛大的早宴，把他所有的朋友和同学都请来参加。仙女答应准备两百杯牛奶咖啡和四百片面包，每片面包都两面涂上黄油。没问题，这准是个极其快活，极其美好的日子，可是……
　　真不幸，木偶一生中老这么可是，可是的，这一来，就把什么事情都给毁了。
