| Pinocchio meets the Cat and the Fox |
But he had not yet made a mile, he met for the Fox a lame way to a foot and a Cat blind of both eyes, that they went there there, helping between them, like good companions in misfortune.
(Apparently, then, two poor unfortunates.)
The Cat and Fox to say that he saw Pinocchio Geppetto.
- He was in shirt sleeves trembling with cold.
- Poor papa! But, God willing, from now on not
stop shaking! ...
Pinocchio presents, in fact, the gold received from Eater, and the two ask him what he will do.
- First of all, - answered the puppet, - I want to buy my dad a beautiful new coat, made of gold and silver with diamond buttons: and then I want buy an ABC book for me.
- For you?
- Really, because I want to go to school to study and put to good.
- Look at me! - Said the Fox. - For the foolish passion for study I have lost a leg.
- Look at me! - Said the Cat. - For the foolish passion
of study I have lost sight of both eyes.
F ermiamoci on this box.
We know that the Cat and the Fox (which, however, Collodi writes with a capital letter as you write their names and not those communities ...) want to steal, but Pinocchio does not have enough experience.
On the other hand in that as a White Blackbird (always capitalized) occurs:
... a White Blackbird, which was perched on the fence of the road, made to the usual and said
- Pinocchio, do not listen to the advice of bad companions: if not, you'll be sorry!
Cat foils immediate threat, and reopened his eyes, Merlo captures and eats it.
- Poor bird! - Said Pinocchio to the Cat, - because you treated so badly?
- I had to teach him a lesson. So again learn to not put his mouth in the speeches of others.
Yeah, the "lesson"! The boys, and not only them but all those who are not in a position to control, are intended to give lessons to feel, perhaps for this before being able to distinguish the good from the bad lessons make their errors of assessment.
Pinocchio, despite his wooden body has, as we have seen, many qualities: good legs to run, a curious nose that makes him want to know and understand, a head still averted, but that reasons, and also and above all a heart of gold.
he feels compassion for the fate of Merlo white, but is anxious for his father and now anxious to show his gratitude to his father prevails over reason.
trappolone of The Cat, in fact, works and Pinocchio, for now, accepts that classroom explanation
I done to teach him a lesson.
I wonder how many times the cruelty involved is passed off as a necessary good lesson .
But this cat is just a little bully-thug? We'll see ... we'll see ..
Meanwhile, we can see that he and Fox are not, as he had deceived the poor Merlo, only "catttivi mates", but Collodi and makes him well understand, the bad teachers ready to haughtiness lessons at your own advantage.
Pinocchio can not yet distinguish between good and bad teachers, then try to resist the lure of the Cat and Fox's promise to enrich easily multiply your gold coins and says confidently:
Unfortunately I have been a bad boy, and the Talking Cricket was right when he said:
"The disobedient boys can not have good in this world ' . And I tried it at my expense, because dimolte misfortunes have happened to me. "
then accepts, however, to follow them because at this moment is not disobeying his father (something that does not want to do more) but only postponing the day of his return home to invest profitably the its gold sequins.
Before changing his naive nature and learn to trust those who promise easy speculation fund will still have much to learn and above all experience.
remains to understand why Collodi have imagined that the executed the cat was a white Merlo, we all know that in nature the battlements are almost always blacks and whites are an exception. So what? A mere curiosity? A rare white soul? One intended victim? An innocent who can not oppose the violence a smart strategy appropriate?
At this stage of the adventures of Pinocchio in the hands of the game is bad and not to the saints and of course the white coat looks a little blackbird 'enigmatic.
not give up but to smile with a piece of Edoardo Bennato, 1977, but alive ... HERE also the text.
