"What nonsense!" cried Pinocchio. "Mine is an opinion," replied the Tunny, "and opinions should be respected." "But I want to get out of this place. I want to escape." "Go, if you can!" "Is this Shark that has swallowed us very long?" asked the Marionette. "His body, not counting the tail, is almost a mile long."
And later the three cores were placed on the table next to the skins. Pinocchio had eaten the three pears, or rather devoured them. Then he yawned deeply, and wailed: "I'm still hungry." "But I have no more to give you." "Really, nothing nothing?" "I have only these three cores and these skins." "Very well, then," said Pinocchio, "if there is nothing else I'll eat them."
Pinocchio offered his arm to Geppetto, who was so weak he could hardly stand, and said to him: "Lean on my arm, dear Father, and let us go. We will walk very, very slowly, and if we feel tired we can rest by the wayside." "And where are we going?" asked Geppetto. "To look for a house or a hut, where they will be kind enough to give us a bite of bread and a bit of straw to sleep on."
"But how is it possible that they could become so many?" asked Pinocchio, remaining with his mouth open from astonishment. "I will explain it to you at once," said the Fox. "You must know that in the land of the Owls there is a sacred field called by everybody the Field of Miracles. In this field you must dig a little hole, and you put into it, we will say, one gold sovereign.
Poor Geppetto rushed after him but was not able to overtake him, for that rascal Pinocchio leaped in front of him like a hare and knocking his wooden feet together against the pavement made as much clatter as twenty pairs of peasants' clogs.
I belong to a musical band in my village and I need a drum." I leave it to you, my dear children, to picture to yourself the great pleasure with which Pinocchio heard that he was to become a drumhead! As soon as the buyer had paid the four cents, the Donkey changed hands.
Sleep away peacefully, and remember that before we go we shall leave you a nice fat chicken all ready for your breakfast in the morning. Is that understood?" "Even too well," answered Pinocchio. And shaking his head in a threatening manner, he seemed to say, "We'll talk this over in a few minutes, my friends."
And Pinocchio, although he was a very merry boy, became sad also, because poverty, when it is real poverty, is understood by everybody even by boys. "Well, patience!" exclaimed Geppetto, all at once rising to his feet, and putting on his old corduroy coat, all patched and darned, he ran out of the house.
Seeing the Marionette, he cried to him: "Tell me, little boy, what are you doing there?" "Can't you see? I'm crying," cried Pinocchio, lifting his head toward the voice and rubbing his eyes with his sleeve. "Tell me," asked the Pigeon, "do you by chance know of a Marionette, Pinocchio by name?" "Pinocchio! Did you say Pinocchio?" replied the Marionette, jumping to his feet. "Why, I am Pinocchio!"
"He was building a little boat with which to cross the ocean. For the last four months, that poor man has been wandering around Europe, looking for you. Not having found you yet, he has made up his mind to look for you in the New World, far across the ocean." "How far is it from here to the shore?" asked Pinocchio anxiously. "More than fifty miles." "Fifty miles?
