Pinocchio falls asleep with his feet on a foot warmer, and awakens the next day with his feet all burned off.
Pinocchio hated the dark street, but he was so hungry that, in spite of it, he ran out of the house.

An angry wind blew cold and raised dense clouds of dust, while the trees shook and moaned in a weird way.
