I have transported many, thousands; and to all of them, my river has been nothing but an obstacle on their travels. They travelled to seek money and business, and for weddings, and on pilgrimages, and the river was obstructing their path, and the ferryman's job was to get them quickly across that obstacle.

Be wild; that is how to clear the river. The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. The river does not dry up, we block it.

The story of Pinocchio - nothing more beautiful in the world.
