(Pinocchio has been given coins that he is supposed to take to Geppetto. Before he can get home, the fairy Olivia, who once rescued (营救) him, has made him take some medicine.)

“And the four pieces—where have you put them?” asked Olivia.

“I have lost them!” said Pinocchio, but he was telling a lie, for he had them in his pocket.

His nose, which was already long, grew at once two inches longer.

“And where did you lose them?”

“In the wood near here.”

At this second lie, his nose went on growing.

“If you have lost them in the wood near here,” said Olivia, “we shall find them, because everything that is lost in that wood is always found.”

“Ah! I remember all about it,” replied Pinocchio, “I didn’t lose the four gold pieces, I swallowed (吞咽) them while I was taking your medicine.”

At this lie, his nose grew so long that poor Pinocchio could not move in any direction. If he turned to one side, he struck (碰撞) his nose against the bed, and if he turned to the other, he struck it against the walls or the door. Olivia looked at him and laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” asked Pinocchio, very anxious at finding his nose growing so hugely.

“I am laughing at the lie you have told.”

“And how can you know that I have told a lie?”

“Lies, my dear boy, are found out easily, because they are of two sorts. There are lies that have short legs, and lies that have long noses. Your lie, as it happens, is one of those that have a long nose.”

Pinocchio, not knowing where to hide himself for shame, tried to run out of the room, but he did not succeed, for his nose had increased so much that it could no longer pass through the door.

A．In the wood.

25、15 years ago, my parents bought a small house in the countryside, which they used for holidays. After I was born we started to go to the holiday house more. We used to drive 3 hours to get to our lovely house every Friday evening. During the week my parents worked in London. My two brothers and I went to expensive private schools and we were all very busy. We hardly saw each other. We had several babysitters(临时保姆) as my parents had to work long hours. The only time we could be together was the weekend, and that was my happiest time. However, every Sunday morning was torture because we had to leave the house then. We all hated the idea of leaving our village friends and the beautiful countryside.

Last year my dad had had enough. He sold our big house near London and my parents gave up their jobs and long working hours. They bought a smaller car. We are now living in our holiday house—two adults, three kids and a dog. My parents got jobs that allow them to work from home. We never have babysitters.

The best change for me is that now I go with my brothers to a small local(当地的) school. After school we get on our bikes and ride around to see friends. My life is just so different. We feel calm(平静的) and happy. We have fewer things but for me it seems like we have so much more. I am so glad we have changed our way of life.

26、Hover Camera(无人相机)
