"Here we are at last," said the fox. "Now you must stoop down and dig a hole, and then put your money in it."

Pinocchio obeyed, dug the hole, buried the money, and covered it over with earth.

"And now," said the fox, go to the well, get a little water and sprinkle the ground where you have sown."

Pinocchio Buried the Money

Pinocchio went to the well, and as he had no bucket in which to carry the water, he took off his shoe, and filling it, came back and sprinkled his garden patch. “Now,” he asked, "is there anything else to be done?"

"Nothing else," replied the fox. "We will go away now. You can return here in about twenty minutes, and you will find a large vine with its branches covered with money already pushing up from the earth."
