NEW FEET AND NEW CLOTHES

No sooner had the marionette satisfied his hunger than he began to grumble and cry because he wanted a new pair of feet. But Geppetto, in order to punish him for his naughtiness, let him cry for half a day. Then he said: "And why should I make you a new pair of feet? Perhaps you would run away again."

"I promise you," said the marionette sobbing, "that hereafter I will be a good boy."

"All boys" said Geppetto "When they want to get something, say that.”

"I promise you that I will go to school, I will study, and I will be an honor."
