He scurried off to GeppettoвЂ™s house and told him all that had happened and that Pinocchio now needed his help. While Pinocchio sat in the cage and cried, the talking cricket appeared again and said, вЂњSee Pinocchio, If you had gone to school as Geppetto told you, none of this would have happened!вЂќД«ut the cricket took pity on Pinocchio and decided that he deserved a second chance. He grabbed Pinocchio and threw him into a cage. He missed Geppetto and told Stromboli that he wanted to go back home, but Stromboli had a different idea.

Pinocchio was tired from all that performing. Pinocchio got more and more excited and he didnвЂ™t look where he was going, when all of a sudden, his long nose tangled with the other puppetвЂ™s strings and the show was over with the entire crowd laughing and cheering for the performers. The audience loved Pinocchio and they clapped enthusiastically for him, keeping time with the music. Pinocchio went on stage and he danced, and skipped, and sang while Stromboli acted with the other puppets. Stromboli then quickly invited Pinocchio to be part of his show. It was Stromboli, owner of the puppet show! He was amazed to see Pinocchio. A strange large man with a long, black beard found Pinocchio crying. So when the ticket taker wouldnвЂ™t let Pinocchio into the show, he sat down in a corner to cry. Pinocchio tried to go to the show but the ticket they gave him wasnвЂ™t a real one. вЂњI have five coins here that my father told me to spend on some amusement!вЂќ And there, his nose grew again. Pinocchio went on his way again and met a fox and a cat who said to him, вЂњHey boy, we bet you want to go to a puppet show! We have this ticket that will cost you just five coins!вЂќ Pinocchio thought that it was a great idea and he decided to go. The talking cricket saw Pinocchio now had less money than he had before, so he asked, вЂњWhat happened to the money, Pinocchio?вЂќ вЂњI, I lost itвЂќ Pinocchio replied and his nose grew even longer! As he went out of the store, the other boy quickly stole the candies from Pinocchio and ran away. вЂњOh yes, my father wanted me to buy them!вЂќ Pinocchio replied.ДЄll of a sudden, PinocchioвЂ™s nose started to grow longer. вЂњDid you get all that money just for candies?вЂќ the lady in the store asked Pinocchio. DonвЂ™t listen to what that boy says! But Pinocchio didnвЂ™t care about the talking cricket and went inside the candy shop instead. Suddenly, the little talking cricket jumped up on PinocchioвЂ™s shoulder and whispered in his ear, donвЂ™t do it, Pinocchio.

вЂњWhy donвЂ™t you go and buy candies instead?вЂќ the boy slyly suggested. вЂњIвЂ™m going to buy books and go to school!вЂќ Pinocchio replied. вЂњWhere are you going with all that money?вЂќ the boy asked. Pinocchio was happily walking down the street on his way to schoolВ when he met a boy who was playing hooky from school that day. вЂњNow Pinocchio,В donвЂ™t stop on your way, but go straight to school,вЂќ Geppetto told him. The very next morning, Geppetto gave Pinocchio some money to buy books and sent him on his way to school.
