Stromboli wouldn’t let Pinocchio go home to Geppetto. Instead he locked poor Pinocchio in a cage.
“You’re going to make lots of money for me,” the greedy Stromboli told him.
I saw Stromboli driving his wagon out of town. So I decided to say good – bye to Pinocchio. I found my friend in the cage.
He was crying. He was sorry he hadn’t gone to school. And he wanted to go home.
I tried to set Pinocchio free, but I couldn’t open the lock.
It seemed hopeless.
Then Pinocchio saw the wishing star.
In a twinkle, the Blue Fairy appeared.
She asked Pinocchio what had happened.
Pinocchio told her one lie after another.
With each lie, his nose grew longer…and longer…and longer!
“Tell the truth,” I begged Pinocchio.
Finally he did.
The Blue Fairy smiled. She waved her wand.
Pinocchio’s nose became short again. And he was free!
“Remember,” said the Blue Fairy. “A boy who won’t be good might as well be made of wood.”
Meanwhile, Honest John and Gideon were in a tavern.
A fat coachman was there, too.
Honest John bragged about how much money Stromboli had paid them for Pinocchio.
“I pay even more for small boys,” said the coachman. He showed them a sack full of gold.
The coachman told Honest John his scheme.
He brought boys to a place called Pleasure Island.
He said, “No boys ever return – at least, not as boys.”
Honest John decided to catch more small boys.
Just then Pinocchio and I were racing home to Geppetto.
I ran very fast. I didn’t see Honest John stop Pinocchio until it was too late.
Honest John told Pinocchio all about Pleasure Island.
“Boys play there all day and never have to go to school,” the crafty fox said.
“That sounds like fun!” Pinocchio agreed.
Soon Pinocchio and a coach full of boys were headed for Pleasure Island.
I thought Pinocchio might need my help. So I jumped on the back of the coach.
We rode through the starry night. Then we sailed to Pleasure Island.
Pleasure Island was full of rides and sweets.
The boys did whatever they wanted to do.
Pinocchio made friends with a bad boy named Lampwick.
Lampwick smoked cigars. He showed Pinocchio how to play pool.
But then something terrible happened.
Lampwick grew donkey ears. He grew a donkey tail. He began to bray just like a donkey.
Hee – haw! Hee – haw!
Lampwick turned into a donkey!
Pinocchio started to laugh. But he just brayed like a donkey.
