What a crowd! That attraction! THE GREAT PUPPET ... GO TOO!

Chapter IX (part two) Pinocchio grappling with the laws of the market

Pinocchio came out of then house to go to school, but then decided to follow the fascinating " music of fife and drum shots: Pi-pi-pi, Pi-pi-pi zum, zum, zum, zum " and begins, as usual, running his adventures .

... was in the midst of a plaza full of people, who crowded around a large canvas tent wood and painted in many colors.

Pinocchio does not yet know and must be read to explain what it says on the sign above the tent incase the epithet " good ox! "appioppatogli from a guy who, confessing his ignorance, asks what's written.

must know that in that sign in red letters as the fire is written: GREAT PUPPET.

- is much that has begun the play?

- Start Now.

- And how much is spent to get in?

- Four money.

Pinocchio knows, having seen the end of Geppetto jacket, you get nothing for free, but has not yet had to face alone the problem of money and how to obtain it.

Now I have a craving on me. Absolutely want to go to that show and the four money he needs. She is therefore an attempt, quite clumsy and blatant, that Collodi not fail to stress.

Pinocchio, who was wearing the fever of curiosity, lost all restraint, and said, without being ashamed the boy, with whom he spoke:

- you give me four pennies until tomorrow?

- I would gladly give them to you, - answered the other fun of - but not just for today I can give them to you.

's right, no one (except a parent) offers for free: there is the law of the market want a thing? The price you pay is requested. You do not have money? Or you give up or procure them. It 's the law supply and demand which governs the small business.

Pinocchio falls into a lockout mechanism and begin bargaining.

- For four pennies, you sell my jacket, - then told him the puppet.

- What do you want me to do a coat of flowered paper? If it rains on us, there's more to get away from the off.

- Want to buy my shoes?

- They are good for lighting a fire.

- How much of the cap?

- Bell'acquisto really! A cap of crustless

bread! There is a case that mice come and eat me in

head! "

Pinocchio's clothes had been set up to better the good will love Geppetto, but what love is on the market? None. And so it is.

fact the puppet come to compromise. She hesitates, doubts, it holds, but eventually relents. When the market gives way to dignity, take down a street: it becomes difficult to stop or go back.

Pinocchio suffers for this choice, but can not give up the "GREAT PUPPET" that seems the best entertainment in the world.

For that irresistible attraction worth throwing to the winds heart and mind and follow the instinct of curiosity that he could go elsewhere, but he did not have learned to control.

Pinocchio suffers a bit ', but relents.

" Pinocchio was on tenterhooks. He was about to make a final offer, but had not courage; hesitated, wavered, was suffering. Finally he said,

- you give me four quest'Abbecedario money again?

- I am a guy, and I do not buy anything from the boys,

- answered his small party, which had much better opinion of him.

- an ABC book for little money I take it, - he cried a dealer of used rags, which had been present at the conversation.

And the book was sold there on the spot. "

The chapter ends sadly. The joy of this once succumbs to the bitter reflection:

" And to think that poor Geppetto had stayed home, shivering with cold in his shirt sleeves, to buy an ABC book to his son! "

But reflect: the effects of lack of money hit first and then his son Geppetto, Pinocchio we really judge? E 'right to give his choice a negative meaning?

Collodi's message seems to say this, but the author did not fail to emphasize other elements:

a) Pinocchio is devoured by curiosity (which is not necessarily a flaw)

b) Pinocchio runs into a lure that knows how to attract strongly: the music, the colors, the enthusiasm of the square ( a square full of people, who crowded around a large canvas tent wood and painted in many colors )

c) A square is not a person, but is trendy, we would say today. It sends the message to humanity that we want to have fun with a colorful spectacle.

d) Pinocchio, which undoubtedly is not the best choice, is in the minority. Why should he just give up?

s) and 'truly free, has the tools and experience to decide, at that time, the better?
