"Let me tell you. Without knowing it, I rubbed myselfagainst anewly painted wall," he lied, ashamed tosay that he had been made readyfor the frying pan.

　　"What have you done with your coat and your hatand yourbreeches?""I met thieves and they robbed me. Tell me, my goodman,have you not, perhaps, a little suit to give me, sothat I may gohome?""My boy, as for clothes, I have only a bag in which Ikeep hops12. If you want it, take it.There it is."Pinocchio did not wait for him to repeat his words.

　　He took the bag, which happened to be empty, and aftercutting a bighole at the top and two at the sides, heslipped into it as if it were a shirt.Lightly clad as he was,he started out toward the village.

　　Along the way he felt very uneasy. In fact he was sounhappy that hewent along taking two steps forwardand one back, and as he went he said tohimself:

　　"How shall I ever face my good little Fairy? Whatwill she saywhen she sees me? Will she forgive this lasttrick of mine? I am sure she won't.Oh, no, she won't.

　　And I deserve it, as usual! For I am a rascal13, fine onpromises which Inever keep!"He came to the village late at night. It was so dark hecouldsee nothing and it was raining pitchforks.

“我告诉你……我没留神，在一堵新刷白的墙上擦了一下，”木偶回答说。他不好意思承认他被当作鱼拌上面粉，预备扔进油锅里去炸。
　　“噢，你的上衣，你的短裤，还有你的帽子，你都怎么啦？”
　　“我遇到了强盗，把我给剥了。您说吧，好心的老人家，您没有一点什么可以给我穿穿，让我好回家去吗？”
　　“我的孩子，说到可以穿的东西，我只有那么个小口袋，装扁豆的。你要就拿去吧。就在那儿。”
　　皮诺乔不等他说第二遍，马上拿起这个装扁豆的空口袋，用剪刀在袋底开了一个洞，在两边开了两个小洞，就当衬衫穿。他一下子把脑袋和双手钻过那些洞，穿好了，就动身上村里去。
　　可他一路上感到心里不踏实。老实说，他是进一步又退一步。他一边走一边自言自语说：
　　“我有什么脸去见我那好心的仙女呢？我见了她说什么好呢？……我又做出这桩坏事，她会原谅我一次吗？……可以打赌，她不会原谅了！……唉！她准不会原谅我……这是我活该，因为我是个小坏蛋，答应好了改过，结果又违背了诺言！……”
　　他来到村里，天已经黑了。天气很坏，下着瓢泼大雨。

　　"No, he is now alive and he has already returnedhome.""Really? Really?" cried the Marionette, jumpingaround withjoy. "Then the wound was not serious?""But it might havebeen--and even mortal," answeredthe old man, "for a heavy book wasthrown at his head.""And who threw it?""A schoolmate ofhis, a certain Pinocchio.""And who is this Pinocchio?" asked theMarionette,feigning ignorance.

　　"They say he is a mischief10-maker,a tramp, a street urchin--""Calumnies11!All calumnies!""Do you know this Pinocchio?""Bysight!" answered the Marionette.

　　"And what do you think of him?" asked the old man.

　　"I think he's a very good boy, fond of study, obedient,kind tohis Father, and to his whole family--"As he was telling all these enormouslies about himself,Pinocchio touched his nose and found it twice as longas itshould be. Scared out of his wits, he cried out:

　　"Don't listen to me, good man! All the wonderfulthings I havesaid are not true at all. I know Pinocchiowell and he is indeed a very wickedfellow, lazy anddisobedient, who instead of going to school, runs away withhisplaymates to have a good time."At this speech, his nose returned to itsnatural size.

　　"Why are you so pale?" the old man asked suddenly.

“没有，他现在活着，已经回家去了。”
　　“真的吗，真的吗？”木偶高兴得跳起来，叫道，“这么说，伤不重，……”
　　“它有可能造成严重后果，甚至死人，”老年人回答，“因为他是给一本厚板纸封面的大书打中了脑袋。”
　　“谁打伤他了，”
　　“一个同学，叫皮诺乔的……”
　　“这皮诺乔是谁，”木偶假装不知道，问道。
　　“他们说是个小坏蛋，是个小流氓，是个真正的小无赖……”
　　“造谣！完全是造谣！”
　　“你认识这皮诺乔？”
　　“见过！”木偶回答说。
　　“你看他怎么样，”老年人问他。
　　“依我说，他是个好极了的孩子，一心想读书，又听话，又爱他的爸爸，又爱他的一家人……”
　　木偶正这样一口气地撒着谎，摸摸鼻子，发觉鼻子已经长了一个多手掌。他害怕得叫起来：
　　“好心的老人家，我扯了一通关于他的好话，您可全都别信。因为我熟悉皮诺乔，可以保证他真正是个小坏蛋，不听话，不学好，不去上学，却跟着一帮子同学去东游西荡！”
　　这番话一说完，他的鼻子就缩小，恢复了原来的样子。
　　“为什么你整个人白成这样？”老年人忽然问他。

　　The Fisherman, angry at seeing his meal snatched fromunder his nose, ran after the Dog, but a bad fit of coughingmade him stop and turn back.

　　Meanwhile, Alidoro, as soon as he had found the roadwhich led to the village, stopped and dropped Pinocchiosoftly to the ground.

　　"How much I do thank you!" said the Marionette.

　　"It is not necessary," answered the Dog. "You saved me once,and what is given is always returned. We are in this worldto help one another.""But how did you get in that cave?""I was lying here on the sand more dead than alive,when an appetizing odor of fried fish came to me. Thatodor tickled4 my hunger and I followed it. Oh, if I hadcome a moment later!""Don't speak about it," wailed5 Pinocchio, stilltrembling with fright. "Don't say a word. If you had comea moment later, I would be fried, eaten, and digested bythis time. Brrrrrr! I shiver at the mere6 thought of it."Alidoro laughingly held out his paw to the Marionette,who shook it heartily7, feeling that now he and the Dogwere good friends. Then they bid each other good-byand the Dog went home.

　　Pinocchio, left alone, walked toward a little hut nearby, where an old man sat at the door sunning himself,and asked:

　　"Tell me, good man, have you heard anything of apoor boy with a wounded head, whose name was Eugene?""The boy was brought to this hut and now--""Now he is dead?" Pinocchio interrupted sorrowfully.

　　渔夫一心想吃这条鱼，眼看它打手里给抢走了，气得发疯，就想去追那条狗。可走了几步，忽然咳嗽得没办法，只好回来，

　　“我该怎么谢你呀！”木偶说。
　　“不用谢，”狗回答说，“你救过我的命，善有善报。要知道，在这个世界上大家应该互相帮助。”
　　“可你怎么会到这山洞来的？”
　　“我一直在海边直挺挺地躺着，半死不活的，忽然一阵风打远处吹来了炸鱼的香味。这股香味引起了我的食欲，我就跟着它走。要是来晚一分钟就糟了！……”
　　“别说了，别说了！”皮诺乔又吓得浑身发抖，叫着说，“你别说了！你要是晚来一分钟，这会儿我已经给炸熟，被吃掉，消化了。啊！……一想到这个我就发抖啦！……”
　　阿利多罗笑着向木偶伸出右爪子，木偶使劲紧紧地握住它，表示极其友好的感情。接着他们就分手了。
　　狗重新取道回家。皮诺乔一个人留下来，向不远的一间小茅屋走去。小茅屋门口坐着一位老人，正在晒太阳。木偶问他说：
　　“请您告诉我，好心的老人家，您知道一个可怜孩子，叫埃乌杰尼奥的，脑袋给打伤了吗？……”

　　Suddenly, a large Dog, attracted by the odor of theboiling oil, came running into the cave.

　　"Get out!" cried the Fisherman threateningly and stillholding onto the Marionette, who was all covered with flour.

　　But the poor Dog was very hungry, and whining2 andwagging his tail, he tried to say:

　　"Give me a bite of the fish and I'll go in peace.""Get out, I say!" repeated the Fisherman.

　　And he drew back his foot to give the Dog a kick.

　　Then the Dog, who, being really hungry, would takeno refusal, turned in a rage toward the Fisherman andbared his terrible fangs3. And at that moment, a pitifullittle voice was heard saying: "Save me, Alidoro; if youdon't, I fry!"The Dog immediately recognized Pinocchio's voice.

　　Great was his surprise to find that the voice came fromthe little flour-covered bundle that the Fisherman heldin his hand.

　　Then what did he do? With one great leap, he graspedthat bundle in his mouth and, holding it lightly betweenhis teeth, ran through the door and disappeared like a flash!

　渔夫一举手就要把皮诺乔扔进油锅，可正在这节骨眼上，一条大狗跑进山洞来。它是给炸鱼的浓烈香味招引来的。

　　“出去！”渔夫吓唬着对狗吆喝，手里仍旧拎着满身是面粉的木偶。

　　可怜的狗实在太饿了，它摇晃着尾巴汪汪地叫，像是说：

　　“给我点油炸鱼，我就不打扰你了。”

　　“我对你说，出去！”渔夫再说一遍，伸出腿来就给它一脚。

　　狗到当真饿了的时候，是不习惯于让人这样对待它的。它向渔夫转过脸来，呲起两排可怕的牙齿。

　　正在这时候，它听见山洞里发出一个很微弱很微弱的声音，说：

　　“救救我，阿利多罗！你不救我，我就要给油炸了！……”

　　狗马上听出了皮诺乔的声音。它觉得最奇怪的是，这微弱声音是渔夫手里那团沾满面粉的东西发出来的。

Chapter 87

　　I'll fry you in the pan with the others. I know you'll like it.

　　It's always a comfort to find oneself in good company."Theunlucky Marionette, hearing this, began to cry andwail and beg. With tearsstreaming down his cheeks, he said:

　　"How much better it would have been for me to go to school!

　　I did listen to my playmates and now I am paying for it!

　　Oh! Oh! Oh!"And as he struggled and squirmed like an eel18 toescape from him,the Green Fisherman took a stout19 cordand tied him hand and foot,and threw him into the bottom of the tub with theothers.

　　Then he pulled a wooden bowl full of flour out of acupboard andstarted to roll the fish into it, one by one.

　　When they were white with it, he threw them into the pan.

　　The first to dance in the hot oil were the mullets,the bassfollowed, then the whitefish, the flounders, andthe anchovies. Pinocchio's turncame last. Seeing himselfso near to death (and such a horrible death!) hebeganto tremble so with fright that he had no voice left withwhich to beg forhis life.

　　The poor boy beseeched only with his eyes. But theGreen Fisherman,not even noticing that it was he, turnedhim over and over in the flour until helooked like aMarionette made of chalk.

　　Then he took him by the head and--

我把你跟所有的鱼一块儿放在油锅里炸，你会满意的。有那么多鱼作伴一起挨炸，总归是一种安慰。”
　　不幸的皮诺乔一听明白这意思，就开始哇哇大哭，怨天怨地说：
　　“我当初去上学该多好！……可我听了同学的话，现在报应来了！……咿！……！咿……！咿……”
　　由于他扭得像条鳗鱼，使出叫人难以相信的力气要挣脱绿莹莹的渔夫的手，这双手就拿起一束结实的蒲草，把皮诺乔的双手双脚捆起来，捆得像根香肠，扔到缸底跟其他的鱼在一起。
　　接着他拉出一大木盘面粉来拌所有的鱼，一条一条都拌好了，就扔到油锅里炸。
　　最先在沸腾的油里跳舞的是可怜的鳕鱼，接着挨到狼鱼，接着挨到鰡鱼，接着挨到板鱼和鳀鱼，最后挨到了皮诺乔。皮诺乔看到死期已至（死得多惨啊！），不由得浑身发抖，害怕得既发不出声音，也透不过气来，根本没法子哀求饶命。
　　这可怜的孩子只好用眼睛来哀求！可是那绿莹莹的渔夫根本没注意到。他把木偶在面粉里拌了五六遍，从头到脚拌了个透。皮诺乔浑身都是面粉，就像个小石膏像。

　　As soon as the Fisherman pulled him out, his green eyesopened widewith surprise, and he cried out in fear:

　　"What kind of fish is this? I don't remember evereatinganything like it."He looked at him closely and after turning him overandover, he said at last:

　　"I understand. He must be a crab12!"Pinocchio, mortified14 atbeing taken for a crab, said resentfully:

　　"What nonsense! A crab indeed! I am no such thing.

　　Beware how you deal with me! I am a Marionette,I want you toknow.""A Marionette?" asked the Fisherman. "I must admitthata Marionette fish is, for me, an entirely15 newkind of fish.

　　So much the better. I'll eat you with greater relish16.""Eatme? But can't you understand that I'm not a fish?

　　Can't you hear that I speak and think as you do?""It'strue," answered the Fisherman; "but since I seethat you are a fish,well able to talk and think as I do,I'll treat you with all duerespect.""And that is--""That, as a sign of myparticular esteem17,I'll leave toyou the choice of the manner in which you are to becooked. Do youwish to be fried in a pan, or do you preferto be cooked with tomatosauce?""To tell you the truth," answered Pinocchio, "if Imust choose,I should much rather go free so I may return home!""Areyou fooling? Do you think that I want to losethe opportunity to taste such arare fish? A Marionettefish does not come very often to these seas. Leave it tome.

渔夫把他一抓出来，两只绿色大眼睛登时都吓得瞪圆了。他几乎是害怕地叫起来：
　　“这是什么鱼？我想不起我曾经吃过这种鱼！”
　　他把木偶再仔仔细细地看了一遍，等到看仔细了，最后说：
　　“我明白了。这准是海里的螃蟹。”
　　皮诺乔听说把他当作螃蟹，觉得是个耻辱，生气地说：
　　“什么螃蟹不螃蟹？瞧你把我当什么啦！告诉你，我是木偶。”
　　“木偶？”渔夫反问。“说真个的，木偶鱼对我来说是一种新的鱼！那更妙了，我更想吃你了。”
　　“吃我？可您不懂吗，我不是鱼？您不觉得我跟您一样，会说话会思想吗？”
　　“那倒是一点不错，”渔夫往下说，“我看你鱼还是鱼，可是很幸运，跟我一样会说话，会思想，因此我很愿意给你应有的照顾。”
　　“什么照顾？……”
　　“为了表示友好和对你的特殊敬意，我让你自由选择怎么烧法。你要在油锅里炸呢？还是要在平底锅里加上番茄酱煎呢？”
　　“说老实话，”皮诺乔回答说，“如果要我选择的话，我宁可请您放了我，让我回家去。”
　　“你在开玩笑！这么一条少有的鱼，你以为我会放过机会不尝它一尝吗？在这里海上还从来不知道有木偶鱼！依我的办吧。

Chapter 85

　　At the same time, he saw a Fisherman come out of thecave, aFisherman so ugly that Pinocchio thought he was asea monster. In place of hair,his head was covered by athick bush of green grass. Green was the skin of hisbody,green were his eyes, green was the long, long beard thatreached down tohis feet. He looked like a giant lizardwith legs and arms.

　　When the Fisherman pulled the net out of the sea,he cried out joyfully8:

　　"Blessed Providence9!Once more I'll have a fine meal of fish!""Thank Heaven, I'm not afish!" said Pinocchio to himself,trying with these words to find a littlecourage.

　　The Fisherman took the net and the fish to the cave,a dark, gloomy,smoky place. In the middle of it, a panfull of oil sizzled over a smoky fire,sending out a repelling odor of tallow that took away one's breath.

　　"Now, let's see what kind of fish we have caughttoday,"said the Green Fisherman. He put a hand as bigas a spade into the net andpulled out a handful of mullets.

　　"Fine mullets, these!" he said, after looking at themandsmelling them with pleasure. After that, he threw theminto a large, emptytub.

　　Many times he repeated this performance. As he pulled each fish outof the net, his mouth watered with thethought of the good dinner coming, and hesaid:

　　"Fine fish, these bass10!""Verytasty, these whitefish!""Delicious flounders, these!""Whatsplendid crabs11!""Andthese dear little anchovies13,with their heads still on!"As you can well imagine, the bass, theflounders, thewhitefish, and even the little anchovies all went togetherintothe tub to keep the mullets company. The last to comeout of the net wasPinocchio.

正在这时候，他看见山洞里走出一个渔夫，样子太难看了，难看得简直像个海怪。他的头发不是头发，是一大蓬绿草。他身上的皮肤是绿的，眼睛是绿的，胡子老长老长，一直垂到脚上，也是绿的。他活像一条用后脚直立的绿色大晰蜴。
　　渔夫把鱼网打海里拉出来，兴高采烈地叫道：
　　“老天爷保佑！今天我又可以大吃一顿鲜鱼了！”
　　“幸亏我不是鱼！”皮诺乔心里说。他又有了点勇气。
　　一网鱼都拿到山洞里。山洞里很黑，满是烟。山洞当中有一只大油锅在沸腾，发出一股叫人没法呼吸的烧灯芯气味。
　　“我来看看捉到了什么鱼！”绿莹莹的渔夫说着，把烘炉铲子似的一只大手伸进鱼网，抓出一把火鱼。
　　“这些火鱼不错！”他看了看，很满意地闻了闻，说。他闻过以后，就把它们扔进一个没水的缸里。
　　接看他又照样来一次。就这样，他一次又一次把鱼捞出来，觉得要流口水，欢天喜地说：
　　“这些鳕鱼好极了！……”
　　“这些鰡鱼妙极了！……’’
　　“这些板鱼味道不错！……”
　　“这些狼鱼味道很鲜！……”
　　“这些鳀鱼八成很好吃！……”
　　诸位可以想象，这些鳕鱼、鰡鱼、板鱼、狼鱼、鳀鱼全都劈哩啪啦落到缸里，跟最先扔进去的火鱼在一起。
　　最后—个留在网里的是皮诺乔。

Chapter 84

　　He turned toward the poor animal and said to him:

　　"But if I help you, will you promise not to bother meagain byrunning after me?""I promise! I promise! Only hurry, for if youwaitanother second, I'll be dead and gone!"Pinocchio hesitated stillanother minute. Then, rememberinghow his father had often told him that a kinddeed is never lost,he swam to Alidoro and, catching5 holdof his tail, dragged him to the shore.

　　The poor Dog was so weak he could not stand. He hadswallowed so muchsalt water that he was swollen6 likeaballoon. However, Pinocchio, not wishing to trust himtoo much, threw himselfonce again into the sea. As heswam away, he called out:

　　"Good-by, Alidoro, good luck and remember me to thefamily!""Good-by, little Pinocchio," answered the Dog.

　　"A thousand thanks for having saved me from death.

　　You did me a good turn, and, in this world, what is givenis alwaysreturned. If the chance comes, I shall be there."Pinocchio went onswimming close to shore. At lasthe thought he had reached a safe place.Glancing up anddown the beach, he saw the opening of a cave out of which rose aspiral of smoke.

　　"In that cave," he said to himself, "there must be afire.

　　So much the better. I'll dry my clothes and warm myself,andthen--well--"His mind made up, Pinocchio swam to the rocks, butas hestarted to climb, he felt something under him liftinghim up higher and higher.He tried to escape, but he wastoo late. To his great surprise, he found himselfin a hugenet, amid a crowd of fish of all kinds and sizes, who werefighting andstruggling desperately7tofree themselves.

“可我救了你，你保证不再找我麻烦，不再追我对吗？”
　　“我保证，我保证！快帮忙吧，再过半分钟，我就完蛋了。”
　　皮诺乔先还犹豫了一下，可终于记起他爸爸一再说过的话，做好事永远不吃亏，就游到阿利多罗身边，伸出两手，一把抓住了它的尾巴，把它活生生拉上干燥的沙滩。
　　这条可怜的狗站都站不住了。它不得已喝了那么多咸水，肚子胀得像个大皮球。可是木偶不太相信它，觉得还是小心点好，于是重新跳到海里。他离岸远远的，对他救起来的朋友叫道：
　　“再见，阿利多罗，一路平安，给我向你一家问好。”
　　“再见，小皮诺乔，”狗回答说，“万分感谢您救了我的命。您帮了我一个天大的忙。在这个世界上善有善报，一有机会，我要报答您的。”
　　皮诺乔继续紧靠着岸边游。最后他觉得已经到了安全的地方，朝岸上看看，看见礁石上有个山洞，山洞里冒出烟来，飘得高高的。
　　“这山洞里一定有火，”他自言自语说。“那多好啊！让我上去把身子烤烤干，烤烤暖和。然后呢？……然后该怎么办就怎么办吧。”
　　他拿定了主意，就向礁石游过去。可他到了那里正要上岸，忽然觉得水底下有样东西升起来，升啊，升啊，把他一直托到空中，他马上打算逃走，可已经来不及了，因为使他惊奇万分的是，他竟在一个大鱼网里，夹在一大堆鱼中间。这些鱼形形色色，有大有小，正拼了命啪哒啪哒摇着尾巴挣扎。

Chapter 83

Pinocchioruns the danger of being fried in a pan like a fishDuring that wild chase,Pinocchio lived through aterrible moment when he almost gave himself up aslost.

　　This was when Alidoro (that was the Mastiff's name),in a frenzy1 ofrunning, came so near that he was on thevery point of reaching him.

　　The Marionette2 heard,close behind him, the laboredbreathing of the beast who was fast on his trail,and nowand again even felt his hot breath blow over him.

　　Luckily, by this time, he was very near the shore, andthe sea was insight; in fact, only a few short steps away.

　　As soon as he set foot on the beach, Pinocchio gave aleap and fellinto the water. Alidoro tried to stop, butas he was running very fast, hecouldn't, and he, too,landed far out in the sea. Strange though it may seem,theDog could not swim. He beat the water with his paws tohold himself up, but theharder he tried, the deeper he sank.

　　As he stuck his head out once more, the poor fellow's eyeswere bulging3 andhe barked out wildly, "I drown! I drown!""Drown!" answeredPinocchio from afar, happy at his escape.

　　"Help, Pinocchio, dear little Pinocchio! Save me fromdeath!"At those cries of suffering, the Marionette, who afterall had avery kind heart, was moved to compassion4.

这场你死我活的赛跑，已经到了千钧一发的时刻，皮诺乔心想，这回准定要输了，因为要知道，阿利多罗（就是那条猛犬的名字）使劲地跑啊，跑啊，差不多就要追上他。
　　只说一点就够了：木偶已经听到这条恶犬在他身后一巴掌远的地方很急促的喘气声，甚至感觉到了它呼吸的热气。
　　幸亏这时已经到了海边，眼看大海只有那么几步远了。
　　木偶一到海边，就像小青蛙似的，很利落地扑通一声，跳到了水里。阿利多罗正好相反，想马上停住脚步，可跑得太快了，脚步收不住，跟着也扑通一声落到了水里。这只倒霉的狗不会游泳，因此两条脚马上乱划，想要浮在水面。可它越划越往下沉，连头都沉到水底下去了。
　　等到这条可怜的狗把头伸出来，它吓得两眼瞪大，汪汪叫着说：
　　“我要淹死了！我要淹死了！”
　　“那就死吧！”皮诺乔在远处回答。现在他看到，他再也没有什么危险，已经万无一失了。
　　“救救我，我的小皮诺乔！……快救救我的命吧！……”
　　这几声汪汪叫十分悲惨，木偶本心很好，禁不住心软下来。

Chapter 82

　　Take him home and bind17 hiswounds. Tomorrow we'll come after him."They then took hold of Pinocchioand, putting himbetween them, said to him in a rough voice: "March!

　　And go quickly, or it will be the worse for you!"They did nothave to repeat their words. The Marionettewalked swiftly along the road to thevillage. But thepoor fellow hardly knew what he was about. He thoughthe had anightmare. He felt ill. His eyes saw everythingdouble, his legs trembled, histongue was dry, and, try as he might, he could not utter a single word. Yet, inspite of this numbness18 offeeling, he suffered keenly at thethought of passing under the windows of hisgood littleFairy's house. What would she say on seeing him betweentwoCarabineers?

　　They had just reached the village, when a sudden gustof wind blewoff Pinocchio's cap and made it go sailing fardown the street.

　　"Would you allow me," the Marionette asked theCarabineers,"to run after my cap?""Very well, go; but hurry."TheMarionette went, picked up his cap--but insteadof putting it on his head, hestuck it between his teethand then raced toward the sea.

　　He went like a bullet out of a gun.

　　The Carabineers, judging that it would be very difficultto catchhim, sent a large Mastiff after him, one that hadwon first prize in all the dograces. Pinocchio ran fast andthe Dog ran faster. At so much noise, the peoplehung outof the windows or gathered in the street, anxious to seethe19 endof the contest. But they were disappointed,for the Dog and Pinocchio raised somuch dust on the road that,after a few moments, it was impossible to see them.

然后他们回到皮诺乔身边，把他夹在中间，用军人口气命令说：
　　“开步走！走快点！不然要你够受的！”
　　不等他们说第二遍，木偶就走起来了。他们走的这条小道是进村的，这可怜小鬼简直不知道自己是不是还活着。他只觉得像在做梦，而做的是多可怕的恶梦啊！他完全吓得魂不附体。他的眼睛发花，两腿发抖，舌头贴着上腭，连一个字也说不出来。不过他尽管这样昏昏迷迷，还是感到心里像针扎似地痛，因为他想到，他要夹在两个警察中间经过他那好仙女的窗下。他真情愿死了拉倒。
　　他们已经来到村边，正在进村，忽然刮来一阵狂风，把皮诺乔头上的帽子吹起来，吹了有十步远。
　　“答应我好吗？”木偶对两个警察说，“让我去把我的帽子捡起来。”
　　“去吧，可得快点。”
　　木偶走过去捡起帽子……可没戴到头上，却放在嘴里，用牙咬着，撒腿就向海边飞跑。他快得像一颗出膛的子弹。
　　两个警察眼看很难追上，就放出一条凶猛的大狗去追他。这条狗在赛狗中还得过冠军。皮诺乔拼命跑，可狗跑得比他快。所有的人或者把头探出窗子，或者挤在路当中，急于要看这场激烈赛跑的结果如何。可是他们这个希望落了空，因为那条猛犬和皮诺乔一路上搞得灰尘滚滚，几分钟以后就什么也看不见了。
