CHAPTER 7 CAPÍTULO 7 РОЗДІЛ 7

[Geppetto returns home and gives his own breakfast to the Marionette] [Gepeto volta para casa e dá seu próprio café da manhã para a Marionete]

The poor Marionette, who was still half asleep, had not yet found out that his two feet were burned and gone.

As soon as he heard his Father’s voice, he jumped up from his seat to open the door, but, as he did so, he staggered and fell headlong to the floor. ||||||||||||||||||||||||lost his balance|||face first||| Assim que ouviu a voz de seu pai, ele pulou de seu assento para abrir a porta, mas, ao fazê-lo, cambaleou e caiu de cabeça no chão. In falling, he made as much noise as a sack of wood falling from the fifth story of a house. |||||||||bag|||||||||| Ao cair, ele fez tanto barulho quanto um saco de madeira caindo do quinto andar de uma casa.

"Open the door for me!

Geppetto shouted from the street. "Father, dear Father, I can’t," answered the Marionette in despair, crying and rolling on the floor. "Padre, querido padre, não posso", respondeu a Marionete desesperada, chorando e rolando no chão.

"Why can’t you?

"Because someone has eaten my feet.

"And who has eaten them?

"The cat," answered Pinocchio, seeing that little animal busily playing with some shavings in the corner of the room. ||||||||actively|||||||||| "O gato", respondeu Pinóquio, vendo aquele bichinho ocupado brincando com algumas aparas no canto da sala.

"Open!

I say," repeated Geppetto, "or I’ll give you a sound whipping when I get in. ||||||||||beating|||| Eu digo,” repetiu Geppetto, “ou eu vou te dar uma boa surra quando eu entrar. "Father, believe me, I can’t stand up.

Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I shall have to walk on my knees all my life. Geppetto, thinking that all these tears and cries were only other pranks of the Marionette, climbed up the side of the house and went in through the window. Gepeto, pensando que todas aquelas lágrimas e choros eram apenas outras brincadeiras da Marionete, subiu pela lateral da casa e entrou pela janela.

At first he was very angry, but on seeing Pinocchio stretched out on the floor and really without feet, he felt very sad and sorrowful. ||||||||||||||||||||||||full of sorrow A princípio ficou muito zangado, mas ao ver Pinóquio estendido no chão e realmente sem pés, sentiu-se muito triste e pesaroso.

Picking him up from the floor, he fondled and caressed him, talking to him while the tears ran down his cheeks: |||||||touched gently||touched gently||||||||||| Levantando-o do chão, afagou-o e acariciou-o, falando-lhe enquanto as lágrimas corriam por suas faces: "My little Pinocchio, my dear little Pinocchio!

How did you burn your feet? "I don’t know, Father, but believe me, the night has been a terrible one and I shall remember it as long as I live.

The thunder was so noisy and the lightning so bright-- and I was hungry. O trovão era tão barulhento e o relâmpago tão brilhante - e eu estava com fome. And then the Talking Cricket said to me, `You deserve it; you were bad;' and I said to him, `Careful, Cricket;' and he said to me, `You are a Marionette and you have a wooden head;' and I threw the hammer at him and killed him. It was his own fault, for I didn’t want to kill him. And I put the pan on the coals, but the Chick flew away and said, `I’ll see you again! Remember me to the family.' And my hunger grew, and I went out, and the old man with a nightcap looked out of the window and threw water on me, and I came home and put my feet on the stove to dry them because I was still hungry, and I fell asleep and now my feet are gone but my hunger isn’t! Oh!--Oh!--Oh!" And poor Pinocchio began to scream and cry so loudly that he could be heard for miles around. E o pobre Pinóquio começou a gritar e chorar tão alto que podia ser ouvido a quilômetros de distância. Geppetto, who had understood nothing of all that jumbled talk, except that the Marionette was hungry, felt sorry for him, and pulling three pears out of his pocket, offered them to him, saying: ||||||||confusing|||||||||||||||three pears||||||||| Gepeto, que não havia entendido nada daquela conversa confusa, exceto que a Marionete estava com fome, teve pena dele e tirou três peras do bolso, ofereceu-as a ele, dizendo:

"These three pears were for my breakfast, but I give them to you gladly. "Estas três peras foram para o meu café da manhã, mas eu as dou com prazer.

Eat them and stop weeping. ||||crying "If you want me to eat them, please peel them for me.

"Peel them?

asked Geppetto, very much surprised. perguntou Gepeto, muito surpreso. "I should never have thought, dear boy of mine, that you were so dainty and fussy about your food. |||||||||||||||particular||| "Eu nunca deveria ter pensado, meu querido menino, que você era tão delicado e exigente com sua comida. Bad, very bad! In this world, even as children, we must accustom ourselves to eat of everything, for we never know what life may hold in store for us! Neste mundo, mesmo quando crianças, devemos nos acostumar a comer de tudo, pois nunca sabemos o que a vida nos reserva! "You may be right," answered Pinocchio, "but I will not eat the pears if they are not peeled. "Você pode estar certo", respondeu Pinóquio, "mas não vou comer as peras se não forem descascadas.

I don’t like them. And good old Geppetto took out a knife, peeled the three pears, and put the skins in a row on the table. E o bom e velho Gepeto pegou uma faca, descascou as três pêras e colocou as cascas em fila sobre a mesa.

Pinocchio ate one pear in a twinkling and started to throw the core away, but Geppetto held his arm. ||||||instant|||||||||||| Pinóquio comeu uma pêra em um piscar de olhos e começou a jogar o caroço fora, mas Gepeto segurou seu braço.

"Oh, no, don’t throw it away!

Everything in this world may be of some use! "But the core I will not eat!

cried Pinocchio in an angry tone. "Who knows?

repeated Geppetto calmly. repetiu Gepeto calmamente. And later the three cores were placed on the table next to the skins. E depois os três núcleos foram colocados na mesa ao lado das peles.

Pinocchio had eaten the three pears, or rather devoured them. ||||||||gobbled up| Pinóquio havia comido as três peras, ou melhor, as devorou.

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.

At first he made a wry face, but, one after another, the skins and the cores disappeared. ||||a|twisted||||||||||| A princípio fez cara feia, mas, um após o outro, as cascas e os caroços foram desaparecendo.

"Ah!

Now I feel fine!" he said after eating the last one. "You see," observed Geppetto, "that I was right when I told you that one must not be too fussy and too dainty about food.

My dear, we never know what life may have in store for us!
