“But it has been forgotten.”

“I want to know about it,” said Tursio, in a voice that had to be obeyed.

“Very well,” and Pinocchio told him.

“And if it had not been for a kind narwhal passing by just then, Marsovino would now be dead,” he finished.

“A kind narwhal? What did he do?”

“I asked him to help me, and he did.”

“But what did you give him in return for his kindness? A narwhal is not kind for nothing.”

“I just gave him something, that’s all.”

Pinocchio finally told him.

“Well done, my boy. You were certainly courageous, and you deserve to be forgiven for your disobedience. And, remember, Pinocchio, you shall be rewarded for your act of kindness.”
