Pinocchio

Chapter 10 Pinocchio Fights the Bad Boy

At first the sister-in-law refused to admit that she was a fairy, but seeing Pinocchio crying so sadly, her heart softened again.It turned out that the sister-in-law was indeed a fairy.After the fairy left the white hut in the woods, she came to the "Island of Hardworking Bees". She believed that Pinocchio would come here one day, so she was waiting for him.Seeing that Pinocchio recognized her, the Fairy touched his head happily and said:
"You silly boy, how did you recognize me?"

"Of course I recognize you, because you are my dearest sister." Pinocchio said coquettishly.

"But, now that I'm old like an old woman, I can be your mother," said the fairy.

Only then did Pinocchio realize that the Fairy looked more like a mother now.So he said: "That's the best, so I won't call you sister, but mother. I have never had a mother. If you can be my mother, I will be so happy and happy."

The fairy said, "Okay. But if I am your mother, you must obey me. You must promise me to be a good child, so that you can become a real man."

"Am I not human now?" asked Pinocchio strangely.

"Yes, you are only a puppet now. But don't be sad, child, if only you can be a good boy, you can become a real man!" said the Fairy comforting Pinocchio.

"But how can I be a good boy?" asked Pinocchio.

"First, a good boy should listen to the adults; second, a good boy should be hardworking and love to study; third, a good boy should not lie; fourth, a good boy should be kind and brave. There are many conditions, but these four points are the most important." Fairy said.

Pinocchio said sadly: "But, I have never listened to grown-ups before, and I am lazy, don't like to study, like to wander around all day and lie to you. Oh, I have hardly done any of these four things. See, it seems that I will never be able to become a real person, and I can only be a clumsy puppet forever." After speaking, he began to cry.

The fairy held Pinocchio tightly in her arms and said, "My dear boy, don't cry, and listen to what mother tells you. As long as you learn to be good one day, you will become a real person someday."

"Really?" asked Pinocchio.

"Really, when have I lied to you?" The fairy said with a smile.

"Oh, that's great! Mom, from today onwards, I will be a good boy. I will study, and I will help you with work. I will never be lazy again, and I will never wander around again. No more lies." Pinocchio laughed again through his tears.

The fairy was very happy and said: "Okay, from tomorrow on, you will go to school, and you must get rid of the bad habits of laziness and lying. In this way, mother will always like you."

The next day, Pinocchio went to school.When he picked up his schoolbag, his heart was filled with joy.The sky was so blue and the air so nice that the flowers and birds seemed to be smiling at him.

When the children at school saw a puppet come to school, they all felt very strange.At first, they treat Pinocchio as a fool.They played tricks on him in different ways. They took off his hat and touched his wooden head for a while; they painted black ink on his paper clothes for a while; Make him do a puppet fuck.

At first, Pinocchio ignored them and let them quarrel, because he had come to school only to study, not to fight, which is what bad boys do.However, the more Pinocchio ignored those mischievous classmates, the more energetic those classmates were.

So Pinocchio said to them seriously: "We came to school to study, not to tease people. I want to make friends with everyone, and I hope everyone regards me as a friend."

Unexpectedly, those troublemakers who played tricks on him, instead of being moved, stuck out their tongues at him, made faces, and laughed at him one after another:
"Fresh, fresh, really fresh! The silly puppet talks like a textbook, and the silly puppet wants to be a good boy..." As they spoke, someone picked up a clod of dirt and threw it at Pinocchio. The child also wanted to grab Pinocchio's neck.Pinocchio was so angry that he kicked a man in the leg so hard that the man hugged his leg in pain and screamed.Seeing that Pinocchio was really angry, the other people were very frightened and ran away.

From then on, those troublemakers never dared to provoke Pinocchio again, and usually respected Pinocchio when they saw him.Moreover, Pinocchio studied very hard, and his grades were among the best in the class, so the students dared not look down on him anymore.Gradually, they started to get close to him, play with him, and be friends with him, and the teachers also liked him very much.

However, those troublemakers are all bad boys who do not seek to make progress.They carry schoolbags all day long, but instead of textbooks, they contain things like slingshots, playing cards, glass marbles, and lollipops.They have to go to bed as soon as get out of class starts, but when they hear the bell for the end of class, they regain their energy. Chasing and fighting each other, climbing trees and walls, and wandering around are all their specialties.Pinocchio also enjoyed being with them.This made the fairy mother very worried. She was afraid that Pinocchio would be spoiled by them again, so she often told Pinocchio to be careful.

However, Pinocchio always felt that his mother's worry was unnecessary.He said: "Mom, I won't follow them to do bad things, don't worry."

One day, Pinocchio walked excitedly on the way to school as usual.Suddenly he ran into a group of mischievous classmates, they were not going to school, but to another place.At this time, a classmate came over and said, "Pinocchio, there is a big news, do you know it?"

"What big news?"

"I heard that a big shark came to the beach, as high as a mountain, do you want to go and see it with us?"

"The big shark? Could it be the one that ate my father?" thought Pinocchio.He would love to see it.However, he still has to go to school.

"Forget it, I won't go, class is about to begin, and I'm going to study." Pinocchio said hesitantly.

Those little rascals seemed to see through Pinocchio's mind, and said, "Hey! What's so good about reading? Are you tired from working so hard every day? Why don't you play with us today."

"The teacher and mother will scold us if we don't go to class," said Pinocchio.

"Don't listen to the teacher, they know what to say all the time. Mom, let's go back and lie to them. Don't you want to see what the shark looks like?"

"I would like to see it, but, but... well, I'd better finish my lesson before I go," said Pinocchio.

"Fool, do you think a shark this big will stay there and wait for you to see it? If someone pissed it off, maybe it'll go somewhere else right away. If that's the case, you'll never have a chance in your life Look at the sharks." A child added fuel to the scene.

"How long will it take to get from here to the sea?" Pinocchio began to waver.

"It will be about half an hour, it will be very fast, and it will not delay your study."

"Okay then, I'll go!"

"Oh, great! Pinocchio is going to see the sharks with us!" cried the troublemakers happily.

So, Pinocchio and the troublemakers put the book under their armpits, and ran desperately to the beach.

When Pinocchio and those mischievous men came to the beach, they found that the sea was calm, there were no big sharks at all, only groups of seagulls flying on the sea.

"Where is the shark? Where is the shark?" asked Pinocchio.

"It's still early, and the shark is probably still asleep." A troublemaker said, "Why don't we run a race and see who can run the fastest. If whoever gets the first place, we'll give him a lollipop."

So, Pinocchio and the troublemakers lined up on the beach, and with an order, Pinocchio rushed to the front.He ran faster and faster, only to hear the wind whistling past his ears, and those little troublemakers were left far behind by him.When he stopped it gave him great pleasure to see them staggering and running out of breath.

Then, they played on the beach for a long time, and when it was almost noon, they still didn't see the big shark.

Pinocchio felt very strange and said, "What's the matter? Why hasn't the shark come out yet?"

At this time, another troublemaker said: "The shark may have eaten lunch this time."

As soon as he said that, the other troublemakers jumped up and down with laughter.Now Pinocchio knew they were lying to him, so he said angrily: "Why are you lying to me? Don't let me go to class?"

"Don't be angry, it's rare that the weather is so good today, you should come out to bask in the sun, it's so boring to stay in the classroom. Your academic performance is so good, what's the point if you don't go to class for a day?" the troublemakers said sweetly.

"You are too much. If you don't study for a day, you will become a donkey!" Pinocchio said seriously.

"Haha! Becoming a donkey? Then we don't study every day, have you seen us becoming a donkey? Have our ears grown? Have we grown a tail? Don't listen to those grown-ups talking nonsense!" Those troublemakers They said with grimaces.

Not to be outdone, Pinocchio said, "It's not that a man can really become a donkey, but that a man can become as stupid as a donkey."

"Come on, come on, don't believe these nonsense! Do you think we are stupid? We are all the smartest people in the world, and no one can do anything about us. When the teacher sees us, we feel a headache, and when our parents see us, we can only do nothing. Stare."

"Down with the school! Down with the homework! Down with the teacher! These are our three major enemies!" said the troublemakers and shouted slogans.

Pinocchio was very angry, and he shouted: "Stop arguing, you don't study hard, and you drag others down, are you ashamed?"

The troublemakers got angry too, and they said: "It is because of such a good student as you that our life is so difficult. Down with Pinocchio! Beat this puppet fool to pieces!" He rushed over and beat Pinocchio hard with his fist.

Fists rained down on Pinocchio's body and head.Pinocchio had to defend himself, waving his hands and kicking his feet.Because his wooden hands and feet were so hard, anyone who was punched by him grinned in pain and screamed.Seeing that they couldn't beat him, the troublemakers took out textbooks, pencils, and exercise books from their schoolbags, and threw them at Pinocchio one after another.

At this time, a little villain grabbed Pinocchio's schoolbag on the ground and threw it at Pinocchio.A thick dictionary fell out of the schoolbag in mid-air, and just hit a classmate nicknamed "Craft Candy".

"Oh!" "Craft Candy" yelled, fell to the ground, and passed out.
