PINOCCHIO
91

A wild north wind had risen, and it swung the poor puppet back and forth like a bell and made him very dizzy. He felt that he could not endure his position another moment, yet he kept hoping that someone would come to save him. But when after long waiting he began to realize that no one would come, he thought of his good Father, and thinking that never should he see him again, he sobbed out “Oh father, father, if only you were here now!" But he had no breath to say more; his senses seemed to leave him, and for a long time he knew nothing of what happened.
