And what a horrible night it was! It poured rain, it hailed, it thundered, and the lightning was so bright that it turned the night into day. At dawn, he saw, not far away from him, a long stretch of sand. It was an island in the middle of the sea. Pinocchio tried his best to get there, but he couldn't. The waves played with him and tossed him about as if he were a twig or a bit of straw. 那真是可怕的一個夜晚！又是瓢潑大雨，又是下冰雹，又是打雷，那閃電亮得把黑夜都變成了白晝。清晨時分，他看到離自己不遠處有一片長長的沙洲，那是海中央的一個島嶼。匹諾曹拼盡全力想去到那里，但他沒能做到。海浪隨意擺弄他，將他拋過來扔過去，好像他是一小截樹枝或者一點稻草。
