In the morning, bright and early, Pinocchio started for school.

For a while Pinocchio was very calm and quiet. Finally, however, he lost all patience and turning to his tormentors, he said to them threateningly:
查看中文翻译
Imagine what the boys said when they saw a Marionette enter the classroom! They laughed until they cried. Everyone played tricks on him. One pulled his hat off, another tugged at his coat, a third tried to paint a mustache under his nose. One even attempted to tie strings to his feet and his hands to make him dance.

"Careful, boys, I haven't come here to be made fun of. I'll respect you and I want you to respect me."
查看中文翻译
"Hurrah for Dr. Know-all! You have spoken like a printed book!" howled the boys, bursting with laughter.
查看中文翻译
But he was not quick enough, for Pinocchio stretched his leg under the table and kicked him hard on the shin.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, what hard feet!" cried the boy, rubbing the spot where the Marionette had kicked him.
查看中文翻译
One of them, more impudent than the rest, put out his hand to pull the Marionette's nose.
查看中文翻译
Pinocchio's only fault was that he had too many friends. Among these were many well-known rascals, who cared not a jot for study or for success.
查看中文翻译
"There's no such danger," answered the Marionette, shrugging his shoulders and pointing to his forehead as if to say, "I'm too wise."
查看中文翻译
With that kick and that blow Pinocchio gained everybody's favor. Everyone admired him, danced attendance upon him, petted and caressed him.
查看中文翻译
"And what elbows! They are even harder than the feet!" shouted another one, who, because of some other trick, had received a blow in the stomach.
查看中文翻译
As the days passed into weeks, even the teacher praised him, for he saw him attentive, hard working, and wide awake, always the first to come in the morning, and the last to leave when school was over.
查看中文翻译
The teacher warned him each day, and even the good Fairy repeated to him many times:
查看中文翻译
"Take care, Pinocchio! Those bad companions will sooner or later make you lose your love for study. Some day they will lead you astray."
查看中文翻译
So it happened that one day, as he was walking to school, he met some boys who ran up to him and said:
查看中文翻译
"A Shark as big as a mountain has been seen near the shore."
查看中文翻译
"Let him talk. He is paid to grumble all day long."
查看中文翻译
"Poor simpleton!" cried one of the boys. "Do you think that a fish of that size will stand there waiting for you? He turns and off he goes, and no one will ever be the wiser."
查看中文翻译
"How long does it take from here to the shore?" asked the Marionette.
查看中文翻译
"And my mother?"
查看中文翻译
"Do you know what I'll do?" said Pinocchio. "For certain reasons of mine, I, too, want to see that Shark; but I'll go after school. I can see him then as well as now."
查看中文翻译
"We are going to see it. Are you coming?"
查看中文翻译
"Mothers don't know anything," answered those scamps.
查看中文翻译
"Very well, then. Let's see who gets there first!" cried Pinocchio.
查看中文翻译
"What do you care about school? You can go there tomorrow. With a lesson more or less, we are always the same donkeys."
查看中文翻译
"No!"
查看中文翻译
"No, not I. I must go to school."
查看中文翻译
"One hour there and back."
查看中文翻译
"Really? I wonder if it could be the same one I heard of when my father was drowned?"
查看中文翻译
"And what will the teacher say?"
查看中文翻译
"Have you heard the news?"
查看中文翻译
Now and again, he looked back and, seeing his followers hot and tired, and with tongues hanging out, he laughed out heartily. Unhappy boy! If he had only known then the dreadful things that were to happen to him on account of his disobedience!
查看中文翻译
At the signal, the little troop, with books under their arms, dashed across the fields. Pinocchio led the way, running as if on wings, the others following as fast as they could.
