Приключения Пиноккио / The adventures of Pinocchio. Уровень 1
“What happened to your paw?” he asked.
The Cat tried to answer, but the Fox helped him,
“My friend is too modest to answer. I’ll answer for him. About an hour ago, we met an old wolf on the road. He was hungry and begged for help. What do you think my friend did kindly? With his teeth, he bit off the paw of his front foot and threw it at that poor beast. So the wolf ate that.”
The Fox wiped off a tear. Pinocchio was almost in tears himself.
“And what do you do here?” the Fox asked the Marionette.
“I want to meet my father, who will be here soon.”
“And your gold pieces?”
“I still have them in my pocket, except one which I spent at the Inn of the Red Lobster.”
“Think that those four gold pieces may become two thousand tomorrow. Why don’t you listen to me? Why don’t you sow them in the Field of Wonders?”
“Today it is impossible. I’ll go with you some other time.”
“Another day will be too late,” said the Fox.
