About This Passage
This is the chapter's most pointed exchange — the Cricket gives Pinocchio three reasons to turn back, and Pinocchio answers the same way every time. Copying it lets young students hear how stubbornness sounds when it stops listening to good advice. The passage contains three of the chapter's vocabulary words: night, dark, and road.
"I want to go on." "The hour is late." "I want to go on." "The night is dark." "I want to go on." "The road is dangerous." "I want to go on."
