XI
Eater sneezes and forgives Pinocchio, who then DEFENDS DEATH BY HIS FRIEND HARLEQUIN
The story of this chapter is a happy ending but I want to draw attention to a dialogue that could be called "the unmasking of flattery"
Pinocchio, at the sight of that heart-rending spectacle,
went to throw himself at the foot of the puppeteer and wet with tears, and weeping bitterly all the hairs of his beard long, he began to say in an imploring voice:
- pity, Sir Eater! ...
- Here there are gentlemen! - The puppeteer said harshly.
- pity, Sir Knight! ...
- Here there are knights!
- pity, Sir Knight! ...
- Here there are commanders!
- Mercy, Sir! ...
Excellency the puppeteer to be called immediately sent round the mouthpiece, and suddenly become more humane and more manageable, he said to Pinocchio:
- Well, what do you want from me?
- I beg your pardon for the poor Harlequin! ...
"To be called Excellence" ... already the dreaded Eater is susceptible to flattery and gives grace not because of arguments or pity, but because it moved from a compliment of Pinocchio desperate but clever.
A harping .... el'affare ended.
Where it is proved that right and wrong, justice or compassion can not get everything, but a shrewd move, frequently, yes.
Paper "Teaching", no doubt! We do not give a lick of Pinocchio, however, his was a just cause, he only had to use a little ' profit diplomacy. And the boys, with a head that thinks, they quickly learn to practice ...
