第8章|Chapter 8 – Geppetto Makes Pinocchio New Feet
意大利著名学者达尼埃拉·玛凯斯基教授曾经这样说过：“在世界范围内，除了《圣经》和《古兰经》之外，《木偶奇遇记》是拥有读者最多、销量最高的作品。”
《木偶奇遇记》说的是一个名叫杰佩托的没有孩子的老头，用木头雕刻出了一个既会跳舞、击剑，又会翻跟头的木偶人，给他起名叫匹诺曹。虽然匹诺曹一直想做一个好孩子，但他难改身上的坏毛病。他逃学，撒谎，结交坏朋友，屡教不改。后来，一个天蓝色头发的仙女教育了他，每当他说谎时，他的鼻子就长一截，如果他连说三次谎，鼻子长得连在屋里转身都转不成了。这时，匹诺曹才开始醒悟，但他还是经不住坏孩子引诱，又跟着他们去了玩具国。几个月后，匹诺曹的头上长出了一对驴耳朵，变成了一头驴子，并被卖到了马戏团。不久，匹诺曹在演出中摔断了腿，又被马戏团老板卖给了商人去剥皮做鼓面。在这紧急关头，还是仙女解救了他。最后，匹诺曹决定痛改前非，在美丽善良的仙女姐姐的帮助下逐渐改掉了坏毛病，终于修成了正果。
《木偶奇遇记》语言生动幽默，想象丰富大胆，充满了无尽的童趣，超越了时代、国界和年龄的限制，使我们重新回望过去，重访童年的家园，为漂泊的心找回了镜子里的自己。

杰佩托虽然装出一副凶相，可看着他那可怜的皮诺乔这么受罪，眼里噙着眼泪，心里充满了爱，他不再回答什么话，只是拿起工具和两块干木头，一个劲地干起活来了。

Pinocchio closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, while Geppetto stuck on the two feet with a bit of glue melted in an eggshell, doing his work so well that the joint could hardly be seen.
