The next morning Geppetto sent Pinocchio off to school. Pinocchio was very excited. He couldn't wait to learn like the real children. Two rascals saw
Pinocchio walking to school.
One was a sly fox named Honest
John. But Honest John was honest at all. The other was
mean cat called Gideon.
Honest John exclaimed, A
puppet who moves
without strings We
can make a fortune out
of him Gideon agreed.
The fox and the cat told
Pinocchio to come with
them. Honest John said
You will be the star of Strombli's
puppet show. But I have to
go to school Pinocchio replied.
Actors don't need school.
Come with us We'll show
the easy road to success
the sly fox promised.
So Pinocchio went with
Honest John and Gideon.
