Pinocchio forgot all about school and gave the fox his spelling book in return for a ticket to Fun Island...

“Where are you going Pinocchio. ” asked the good fairy “Where are you going Pinocchio?” asked the good fairy. “I am on my way to school,” lied Pinocchio. Pinocchio’s nose suddenly grew very long. He wished he hadn’t told lie
