Карло Коллоди – Приключения Пиноккио / The adventures of Pinocchio. Уровень 1 (страница 2)
“Liar!”
“Geppetto, do not insult me or I’ll call you Polendina.”
“Idiot.”
“Polendina!”
“Donkey!”
“Polendina!”
“Ugly monkey!”
“Polendina!”
Geppetto lost his head with rage and threw himself upon the carpenter. The fight continued.
After this fight, Master Antonio and Geppetto shook hands and swore to be good friends again.
Then Geppetto took the fine piece of wood, thanked Master Antonio, and went home.
Chapter 3
Geppetto’s house was little, but neat and comfortable. It was a small room on the ground floor, with a tiny window under the stairway. The furniture was very simpler: a very old chair, a rickety old bed, and an old table. A fireplace was painted on the wall opposite the door. Over the fire, there was painted a pot full.
When Geppetto reached home, he took his tools and began to cut and shape the wood into a Marionette.
“What shall I call him?” he said to himself. “I think I’ll call him Pinocchio. This name will make his fortune. I knew a whole family of Pinocchi once-Pinocchio the father, Pinocchia the mother, and Pinocchi the children-and they were all lucky. The richest of them was the beggar.”
