"When he made the doll's eyes, they suddenly opened and stared at Karl. He didn't show anything that he was scared, but continued with his work. He also cut out the cheekbones, the chin and the nose, which suddenly began to stretch, until it became long and sharp. But as soon as Karlo made him a torso, Buratino started beating him on the head with his fists, pinching and tickling him."
