"Very bad, my Marionette," answered the Farmer, "very bad. If you have no penny, I have no milk."
“太糟糕了，我的木偶，”农民回答说，“太糟糕了，你一分钱也没有，那我就没有牛奶给你。”

"Perhaps we can come to terms. Do you know how to draw water from a well?" "I can try."
“也许咱们可以商量商量。你知道怎么从井里打水吗？”“我可以试试。”
"Then go to that well you see yonder and draw one hundred bucketfuls of water." "Very well."
“那么，你去那边的井抽上来一百桶水。”“很好。”
"After you have finished, I shall give you a glass of warm sweet milk." "I am satisfied."

Pinocchio set to work as well as he knew how,

"Until today," said the Farmer, "my donkey has drawn the water for me, but now that poor animal is dying."

"Will you take me to see him?" said Pinocchio. "Gladly."
