new friends, but do not forget us."
Having said this the marionette took two steps toward home, then he stopped and asked, "But are you sure there are six Saturdays and only one Sunday in every week?"
"I am positive."
"What a beautiful country! And do you know for certain that vacation begins on the first of January and ends the last day of December?"
"I am positive."
"What a beautiful country!" Pinocchio repeated, enchanted. Then he made another start and said, "Well, goodby for sure this time, and I wish you a safe journey."
"Goodby."
"How soon do you start?"
“Very soon now.”
"Oh well, if it's only a few moments now, I think I will wait and see you go."
"And the Fairy?"
"I am late now anyhow, and an hour more will not make much difference."
"Poor Pinocchio! And what if the Fairy should scold?”
