About This Passage
This passage shows the moment Pinocchio buries his gold pieces — the trick that the Fox and the Cat have been planning. Copying it carefully helps young readers feel the simple step-by-step instructions Pinocchio is following without thinking.
Pinocchio obeyed, dug a hole, put in the money, and then covered it over with earth. "Now then," said the Fox, "go to that well and take a little water and sprinkle the ground where you have sown."
