Astride on my back. I am as light as a feather. The Pigeon took flight, and in a few minutes had soared so high that they almost touched the clouds. They flew all day. They went into a deserted dovecot, where they found nothing but a basin full of water and a basket full of vetch.
Hunger knows neither caprice nor greediness.
Having quickly finished their little meal they recommenced their journey and flew away. The following morning they reached the seashore. The Pigeon placed Pinocchio on the ground, and not wishing to be troubled with thanks for having done a good action, flew quickly away and disappeared. The shore was crowded with people who were looking out to sea, shouting and gesticulating. A poor father who has lost his son has gone away in a boat to search for him on the other side of the water, and to-day the sea is tempestuous and the little boat is in danger of sinking.
