"I have no more wood for the fire. The lamb(羔羊)is only half cooked. Never mind! Instead of you Pinocchio, I'll burn some other marionettes(木偶). Hey, there! Officers!" Fire Eater said.
Then two wooden officers appeared with hats on their heads and swords(剑)in their hands. Fire Eater shouted at them loudly, "Take Harlequin, tie him and throw him on the fire. I want my lamb well done!"
Harlequin was so scared that his legs doubled up under him and he fell to the floor. When seeing that, Pinocchio threw himself at the feet of Fire Eater. He cried sadly and asked in a pitiful voice which could hardly be heard, "Have pity, I beg(乞求)of you, sir!"
"There are no sirs here!"
"Have pity, your Excellency(阁下)!"
When he heard that, Fire Eater sat up very straight on his chair and suddenly became kind. He smiled proudly as he said to Pinocchio, "Well, what do you want from me now?"
"I beg for mercy for my poor friend, Harlequin, who has never done the least harm in his life."
"There is no mercy here, Pinocchio. I have spared(饶恕)you. I will burn Harlequin instead of you. I am hungry and my dinner must be cooked."
"In that case," said Pinocchio proudly, as he stood up and threw away his cap, "my duty is clear. Come here, officers. Tie me up and throw me on the fire. No, it is not fair(公平的)for poor Harlequin, the best friend that I have in the world, to die instead of me!"
These brave words made all the other marionettes cry. Even the officers, who were also made of wood, cried like two babies.
At first, Fire Eater remained hard and cold as a piece of ice. But then, little by little, he softened and began to sneeze(打喷嚏). And after four or five sneezes, he opened wide his arms and said to Pinocchio, "You are a brave boy! Come to my arms and kiss me!"
Pinocchio ran to Fire Eater and gave him a kiss on the tip of his nose.
"Has a pardon(赦免)been given to me?" asked poor Harlequin in a low voice.
"Yes!" answered Fire Eater.
