UNDER THE SEA

 CHAPTER I
Have you ever read the Adventures of Pinocchio? What a famous
fellow he was! He could talk and walk and live as you do, children;
and still he was only a marionette! How sad the little fellow felt when
he saw his father disappear in his little boat over the sea!
Do you remember how Pinocchio then tried
to swim across the ocean? How he did his
best to save his poor old father? How he
jumped into the water? How he swam and
swam over those great, high waves? And
how at last he became so tired, that he
could only lie still and let the waves carry
him?
If you remember this, you will also surely
remember that on the next day Pinocchio,
almost lifeless, was thrown on an island.
There he found himself on a small stretch of
ground. All around him was the great
ocean.
Where could he get news of his dear old father? As he looked about
him, he saw a large dark object in the water. It was a dolphin. It had
stuck its nose out of the water and seemed to be waiting for the
marionette. Of Pinocchio’s father, the dolphin knew nothing.
“But,” said he, “I am very much afraid the boat has been lost in the
night.”
My dear children, if you have a good memory, you cannot forget that
after saying this the dolphin turned and disappeared.
 “All around him was the Great Ocean.”

This is not true. Indeed not. On the contrary, Pinocchio and the
dolphin had a long talk one with the other. At the end of it, they
decided to take a long journey together.
 CHAPTER II
While the two were talking, Pinocchio kept thinking and thinking of
his dear father. He looked so sad that the dolphin finally said to him:
“If you grieve so much for the loss of your father, you must be a good
son. We dolphins are very fond of good children, and I more than
others. To prove this to you, I shall only say that the dolphin of which
Pliny speaks was my great-grandfather.”
“Pliny?” said Pinocchio. And he wrinkled his nose,
because the name was not very well known to him.
“Yes, Pliny the Elder, the famous author of a natural
history. He was a Roman, who was born about one
thousand nine hundred years ago. He was killed in a
terrific eruption of Vesuvius, the one that destroyed
Herculaneum and Pompeii.”
Vesuvius, Herculaneum, and Pompeii were as familiar
to the marionette as was Pliny. To speak plainly, he knew nothing
whatever about them. But, making believe he understood everything,
he said, “Yes, yes! These things I know. But of what does Pliny
speak?”
“He tells us that in the suburbs of Naples a dolphin became very
fond of a boy. Every morning he would wait near shore for the boy.
When the child came, the dolphin would make the youngster climb
on his back. Then the dolphin would swim to Pozzuoli, where was
the boy’s school. Here the boy would go ashore, attend to his school
duties, and when they were over, return to Naples on the dolphin’s
back. A few years later the boy died suddenly. The dolphin, after
waiting in vain for him for many days, grieved himself to death.”
“Is this little story really true?” asked Pinocchio.
“Pliny tells it. Some believe, some do not. But this matters little. To
me, then, as to my parents and their parents, good children have
always been pets. Now listen carefully. Among dolphins, it is the
custom for the young ones to travel with the older ones. I am a tutor,
and I am about to start on a long journey with a young dolphin. If you
wish to come with us to look for your father, you are more than
welcome.”
“My dear Mr. Dolphin, I shall be delighted. May I ask where we are to
go?”
“We are to go on a journey around our world.”
“Around the world!” exclaimed the marionette. “It must be amusing to
see two dolphins walking arm in arm around the streets.”
“Yes,” continued the dolphin, “this young pupil of mine, who belongs
to the Marsoon family, wishes to educate himself. And how can he
better educate himself than by travel?”
“To educate himself!” exclaimed Pinocchio, opening wide his eyes.
That word had always been hard for him to swallow. “Educate! Oh!
Oh! That word I never did like.”
“What are you saying?” asked the dolphin.
“Oh, nothing, nothing! I was just thinking that my teeth are aching.”
“Then it might hurt you to go into the water, and ...” began the
dolphin, kindly.
Pinocchio was perplexed. The idea of looking for his father he liked
very much. Still, when he thought of that word educate, he shivered.
He had always hated school as he hated fire. And you remember, he
once lost his feet through playing with fire.
“What a nuisance it will be,” he kept mumbling, thinking of the sleepy
time it would mean for him.
“Tell me, my dear sir,” he then said, just to gain time, “shall we travel
by train?”
“Of course not! How could we? I told you that we are to travel in our
world. That means that we are not to move out of the water.”
“So much the worse,” again thought Master Pinocchio. “Still, I don’t
see what kind of education there can be in seeing only sea and sky!
Good Mr. Dolphin, do you think that, if I go with you, I shall ever find
my father?”
“Perhaps. We may come upon him on some desert island. Who
knows? In any case, it is your sacred duty to look for him. Will you
come?”
“Yes!” answered Pinocchio, firmly. “I will go.”
“Are you afraid?”
“Afraid,” laughed Pinocchio, with scorn. “Why, I don’t know what fear
is. Just listen. Once, while traveling, I came face to face with a lion.
Instead of taking to my heels as many would have done, I took a
large stone and threw it into his mouth. It lodged in his throat. The
poor beast looked at me so sadly, that instead of dispatching him, I
took the stone out of his throat, and he went quietly away.”
“Oh, if that is the case,” replied the dolphin, who could swallow the
story almost as well as the lion had swallowed the stone, “if that is
the case, I beg your pardon.”
“Very well. When shall we start?”
“To-night, just after sunset.”
“How can we travel in the dark?” asked Pinocchio. He and darkness
had never been great friends.
“Do not be afraid. We are to travel by the light of the sun.”
“Of the sun? Why, we are to travel by night.”
“Nevertheless,” answered the dolphin, smiling, as dolphins are wont
to smile, “nevertheless, we shall travel by the light not only of one
sun, but of many suns.”
Pinocchio looked at him with his mouth wide open. The dolphin
calmly went on: “I promise to show you the sun in the sea.”
Pinocchio wrinkled his nose, as was his habit when puzzled. “I
wonder if the dolphin is making fun of me,” he thought.
“Now I shall leave you, as I have many things to do before starting.
Remember, this evening,” said the dolphin as he went off.
“Do not be afraid. I will be here,” was Pinocchio’s reply.
“Very well. Good-by, Pinocchio.”
“Until to-night, Mr. Fish.”
The dolphin, who had gone a short distance, returned and said
proudly, “Just to enlighten you a little, I am not a fish.”
Again Pinocchio’s eyes opened wide.
“What then? A horse?”
“Pinocchio, I am surprised at you. No, neither horse nor fish.”
“I never knew of there being anything but fish in the sea.”
“Who told you so? There are many animals, my dear boy, who live in
the sea, but who are not fish.”
“What then? Birds? Elephants? Dogs?”
“Yes, sir, just so. Still, you people who live on the earth and read
books, you ought to know all these things.”
“Well ... yes ... I do read books. In fact, I have read every book that
has ever been written.”
“All of them? Nothing less? Why, I didn’t think a man could do that if
he had a hundred lives to live,” murmured the good old dolphin.
“Well, Pinocchio,” he went on, “remember to-night, and do not forget
that I am not a fish.” With this remark he disappeared in the blue
waters.
Pinocchio looked after him for a long time.
“The sun in the sea? Dolphins not fish? I don’t know why, but I’m
very much afraid I’m being made fun of.”
 CHAPTER III
When he was alone, Pinocchio began to think of
looking for something to eat. After trying here and
there in vain, he had to be satisfied with looking at a
few empty oyster shells. The best he could do was
to make believe that he had already had a good
meal out of them.
This, of course, was not very easily done, because
the pangs of hunger kept making themselves felt
more and more. At last, to forget them, he decided
to make a tour of the island. This he did, and after that he took a
nap.
When he awoke, it was near sunset. He had all he could do to get to
the meeting place in time.
Off he hastened, and reached the spot just in time, for there was the
dolphin, head out of water, looking for Pinocchio.
A small dolphin, about a yard long, was in the wake of the larger
dolphin.
Pinocchio had made up his mind that even though he might be a
dunce on the earth, still he knew more than a common dolphin. So
he looked at the little fellow as much as to say, “Be very careful how
you speak to me, young man. Remember, I am far above you.”
The old dolphin was very busy with the preparations for their journey.
He came and went and gave orders to his servant.
