CHAPTER 2: THE HUNGER
P- Ohi! You hurted me! Now I am naked and I will scratch myself! They decided to
put an ax inside me they decided to shape me with an iron wheel giving me the form
of a small human. Right! They only keep the parts they want. This empty house will
flood with my sap and I will force them to drown in it. They made my left foot
crooked but I don�t want them to know, there will be time to fix me. The dust
disappears and an arm comes out. But I am also that dust, so why do they throw it
away? Why all this noise? Why is the birth so loud?
Everybody: Pinocchio!
P- who are you?
Cricket- who are you! Caution! You must ask permission before speaking! You must
wait for your turn to speak! You rude chow, we don�t talk like that in my house.
P- from now this is my house and I ask you to be so kind to leave, immediately.
Now. And never look back. Please.
Cr- I will not leave until I have told you a great Truth.
P- I�m hungry
Cr- you have to sit still and wait for your father to come back if you want to
eat
P- I�m starving!
Cr- you are not able to get food yourself
P- I break my belly from hunger!
Cr- pain does not exist pinocchio. Your pains are nothing. You know what we say
when pain it�s gone? � It was nothing, it passed away� Your pains are just chemical
reactions inside your wood.
all rights reserved These are failures of your photosynthesis. You know what
chlorophyll photosynthesis is pinocchio, do you know?
P- no but I know I have to get out of here because if I stay here they will force
me to study by heart things I don�t want to learn and in a way or another they will
make me fall. And to be honest I don�t really want to do that, I definitely prefer
banging my head against the wall until it collapses, tearing my throat screaming or
just leaving rather then obeying at your stupid laws!
Cr- Poor pinocchio! The things you say are really worth. Do you want to bang your
head against the wall? Then leave, go! You will become soon a beautiful donkey and
everyone will make fun of you!
P- donkeys are good animals and they are empathetic too. You know what does
empathetic means?
Cr- And you know what does idealist means? �someone with a luck of gumption�. Your
father is a very idealistic man. Where is him now ? if you really want to go out
then leave. Then when your father comes back I�ll tell him that you left him to
grow old on his own and that you don�t care about him. Caution pinocchio!
P- stop it
Cr- Caution pinocchio! Shame on those children who rebel against their parents and
who leave their own house, they will never be happy at this world and sooner or
later, they will
regret it.
P- I�m starving
Cr- they will never be happy at this world and sooner or later they will regret it.

P- I�m starving
Cr- they will regret it.
P- make me something to eat
Cr- shame on those children who don�t follow the advice of wise people
P- make me something to eat or die!
Cr- I am a wise person because I know more than you.
P- you die!
Cr- I know more than you because I know more than you
P- I�m starving I�m starving I�m starving
Cr- sooner or later you will regret it.
P- you bloody idiot, you didn�t feed me. Every animal feeds its own child at the
first signal of need. The child who eats after crying is stressed, frightened, he
would start sucking his thumb or his hand or his tie. He would behave incorrectly
because he�s too stressed, he would become aggressive because he�s too stressed, he
won�t respond to commands because he�s too stressed, he would tear
all rights reserved his belly from hunger, he wants anything to eat, even bad,
even disgusting but something to eat. You stupid bloody idiot, why you didn�t feed
me? There�s nothing here to eat here. I have
to go outside, outside there will be someone who could feed me.
P- someone will look out
Old Man- what do you want?
P- excuse me sir, would you..
OM- why are you bothering me so late!
P- would you be so kind to throw me something to eat? I�m starving!
OM- of course Pinocchio! Are you starving my darling, aren�t you? Let me see what I
have for you..would you like some bread, is it ok for you sweetheart?
P- it is thank you so much! But please give me some salty bread! I hate bread with
no salt! Thank you!
OM- your welcome!
Salesman- pinocchio!
P- dad?
S- no, I am a friend of your father!
P- are you?
S- Yes, this morning your father came to me and sold me the only jacket he had to
buy you this!
P- what is it?
Theacher- this is a book
CHAPTER THREE: THE SCHOOL
T: it contains the secret of knowledge and you can use it at school to learn
everything
P- my father sold his only jacket to buy that thing?
T- with �that thing� you will learn how to help you father when he won�t be able to
work anymore. don�t you want to help your father when he will be old?
P- my father is already old and has a broken back because he bends over to fix the
sink. can that �thing� fix his back?
all rights reserved T- no but if you�ll read many of this �things� you will be
able to fix the sink instead of your father.
P- well it looks interesting but I�m sorry today I can�t read
T- that�s the reason why you have to go to school pinocchio. There you will learn
how to read and...
P- yeah yeah yeah the other guy also told me that I have to go there, but to tell
you the truth I�m not sure I want to.
T- but how? School is the perfect place for such a little thing like you! You will
sit for hours cutting sheets along the edges and if you are lucky you will go to
the blackboard to write in chalk. Mmmmm chalk! It smells so good!
P- yeah but they also told me that if you mess up they write down somethingh in
your school diary, something secret that only dads can read and when they read it
they cry and I don�t want that.
T- who told you that? You will have fun instead and learn a lot of useful things in
order to help your father when his back will be broken. Don�t
you want to help your father when he won�t have a back anymore?
P- of course I want it, he is the most important person to me
T- you will learn how to write, your father can�t so you will be able to write down
his memories and keep them forever
P- fine then...I�ll go
T- good job pinocchio! First year the bases: how to sit down, when the teacher
enters every student stands up then how to make origami, orthogonal projections the
weather in Estonia Lituania Lettonia, where sugar beet is grown, how many cuttles
cows and swines and ovines are there in the world, the ancient romans the ancient
egyptians who invented writing Marco Polo who killed who who did what who died like

Woman 1- no more !
P- I should even meet the killers! If they attacked me in a dark straight I would

Man- made up!
P- What do you know about what�s really scary? Under my bed..
Woman-underneath my bed lives a huge wet maggot wrapped in a cloth like a fat baby
it disgusts me I don�t see it �cause it hangs from the woods sluts and it only
falls when I�m sleeping
M- When I fall asleep some insects get under my skin, they crawl from the ankless
to my closed eyelids. When I open them i feel like someone is watching me, someone
is looking at me even if I don�t see it, even if I don�t know.
Woman 2- I�m not afraid of the anorexic man in tail-coat, he looks at me, stands
still behind the threes, he wants to pass his skin and bones hands on my face. I
have to eat, now, by night, otherwise I�ll become like him.
Woman 1- ( singing )

I am a young girl and I cannot beware
There are young men outside
boring, they would like to kiss me
P-I am not afraid of the dark
M- I am not afraid of the dark

stop. You didn�t understand anything

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE DEATH
Fairy - I wait for the grade to come and collect me. None�s in this house they�re
all dead and I�ve forgotten what they used to smell like and we�ll forget the view
from this window everything in me stopped renewing and in a few hours I�ll become
all rigid, the jaw, then the elbows then the knees it�s the same order of
decomposition. In the same order I�ll begin to rot and the laces that sustain the
muscular puppet of my body will lose blood runs through the textures and falls down
like this I�m so red up and down white like wax and beautiful and it�s like life
melted away from me. I was standing when I died reason why my shins are red of
blood and full and swollen like a ridiculous candle the view of disintegration
makes even the
animals sick but as I am now they would eat me you mustn�t fear death pinocchio
everything will just carry on working apart from you each very fever of you will
come alive and move and some other will have your eyes there will be other daddies
don�t be jelous of the denaturalized body that�s hosting you don�t try and take it
with you where you will go let it be a bird nest let it be a cripple�s stick, table
leg for a drunken how many things you can be pinocchio and you only wish to be the
one that don't remain
P- somebody will come somebody will come somebody will come
