Chapter 1/

How it happened/

that Mastro Cherry, carpenter,/

found a piece of wood/

that wept and laughed like a child/

Centuries ago there lived--/

"A king!"/

my little readers will say immediately/

No, children,/

you are mistaken./

Once upon a time/

there was a piece of wood./

It was not an expensive piece of wood./

Far from it./

Just a common block of firewood,/

one of those thick, solid logs/

that are put on the fire in winter/

to make cold rooms cozy and warm./

I do not know/

how this really happened,/

yet the fact remains that/

one fine day/

this piece of wood/

found itself in the shop of an old carpenter./

His name was Mastro Antonio,/

but everyone called him Mastro Cherry/

for the tip of his nose/

was so round and red and shiny/

that it looked like a ripe cherry./

As soon as he saw that piece of wood,/

Mastro Cherry was filled with joy./

Rubbing his hands together happily,/

he mumbled half to himself:/

"This has come in the nick of time./

I shall use it/

to make the leg of a table."/

He grasped the hatchet quickly/

to peel off the bark/

and shape the wood./

But as he was about to give it the first blow,/

he stood still/

with arm uplifted,/

for he had heard a wee, little voice say/

in a beseeching tone:/

"Please be careful!/

Do not hit me so hard!"/

What a look of surprise shone on Mastro Cherry's face!/

His funny face became funnier still./

He turned frightened eyes about the room/

to find out/

where that wee, little voice had come from/

and he saw no one!/

He looked under the bench/

--no one!/

He peeped inside the closet/

--no one!/

He searched among the shavings/

-- no one!/

He opened the door/

to look up and down the street/

--and still no one!/

"Oh, I see!"/

he said,/

laughing and scratching his Wig./

"It can easily be seen/

that I only thought/

I heard the tiny voice say the words!/

Well, well--to work once more."/

He struck a most solemn blow/

upon the piece of wood./

"Oh, oh! You hurt!"/

cried the same far-away little voice./

Mastro Cherry grew dumb,/

his eyes popped out of his head,/

his mouth wide opened,/

and his tongue hung down on his chin./

As soon as he regained the use of his senses,/

he said, trembling and stuttering from fright:/

"Where did that voice come from,/

when there is no one around?/

Might it be/

that this piece of wood/

has learned to weep and cry like a child?/

I can hardly believe it./

Here it is/

--a piece of common firewood,/

good only to burn in the stove/

the same as any other./

Yet--/

might someone be hidden in it?/

If so, the worse for him./

I'll fix him!"/

With these words,/

he grabbed the log/

with both hands/

and started to knock it about unmercifully./

He threw it to the floor,/

against the walls of the room,/

and even up to the ceiling./

He listened for the tiny voice/

to moan and cry./

He waited two minutes/

--nothing;/

five minutes/

--nothing;/

ten minutes/

--nothing./

"Oh, I see," he said,/

trying bravely to laugh/

and ruffling up his wig/

with his hand./

"It can easily be seen/

I only imagined/

I heard the tiny voice!/

Well, well--to work once more!"/

The poor fellow was scared half to death,/

so he tried to sing a gay song/

in order to gain courage./

He set aside the hatchet/

and picked up the plane/

to make the wood smooth and even,/

but as he drew it to-and-fro,/

he heard the same tiny voice./

This time it giggled/

as it spoke:/

"Stop it! Oh, stop it! Ha, ha, ha!/

You tickle my stomach."/

This time poor Mastro Cherry/

fell as if shot./

When he opened his eyes,/

he found himself sitting on the floor./

His face had changed;/

fright had turned even the tip of his nose/

from red to dippest purple./
