About This Passage
This sentence shows the moment Pinocchio learns that the lovely breakfast the Fairy sent is not real food at all. The chalk, cardboard, and glass let the chapter teach a lesson without saying a single angry word — the Fairy is showing Pinocchio, gently and clearly, that pretty promises without keeping them are like a meal that cannot feed you.
for when he took the bread he found that it was chalk, that the chicken was made of cardboard, and that the four apricots were of glass.
