"Never mind about that. Think of the beautiful country we are going to, where we shall be our own masters and make a glorious noise all day long."
Pinocchio did not reply, but he sighed, then he sighed again, and then a third time, and finally he said, “Make room for me. I am going with you."
"All the places are full,” replied the driver, “but if you wish, you may take my place."
"What will you do then?"
"I will walk.”
"No indeed, I cannot allow that. I prefer to ride on one of the donkeys," said the puppet. Approaching the nearest donkey he tried to mount it, but the creature suddenly raised its hind feet, and threw Pinocchio off. Just imagine the impertinent laughter of all those boys as they saw this!
Pinocchio, in a fury, made another jump to the donkey's back, and the leap was so agile that the boys began to laugh and shout "Hurrah for Pinocchio!" and clap their hands
