Pinocchio (6)

Pinocchio (6)

Now ' Honest' John and his friend Gideon had spent the evening with a wicked coachman, who said he would pay them to kidnap little boys.

In the street afterwards, who should they meet but Pinocchio, running home to Geppetto.

They persuaded Pinocchio he would have more fun if he joined some other boys on the coach.

But Jiminy Cricket, who was Pinocchio's true friend, secretly climbed into the coach as well.

The  coach took the noisy party of boys to Pleasure Island.

It was like a giant fun fair.

All the rides were free, and the boys could be as naughty as they liked.

Pinocchio's new friend was a boy called Lampwick, who was the naughtiest of all them.

But Jiminy Cricket knew that there  was something strange about Pleasure Island.

He begged Pinocchio to come home with him, but Pinocchio wanted to stay with Lampwick at Pleasure Island.

In the end, poor Jiminy decided that he would have to go home alone.
