 “Why do I make you pity me?”

“Because you are a marionette; and, what is worse, you have a wooden head.”

At these words Pinocchio jumped up enraged, and taking a hammer from a bench flung it at the Talking Cricket.

Perhaps he did not believe himself capable of doing such a thing; but unfortunately the hammer struck the Cricket in the head so suddenly that he had only the breath to say “Cri-cri-cri,” and then remained stuck fast to the wall.
