oof what are you following me

Blue Fairy: At the x please… you know i’m suprised you didnt like any of those manufactured children

I never said Pinocchio had to be perfect… I just wanted him to behave and show at least some interest in the family business… Oh hey sorry i didnt see you there… Ah are you okay

Pig: Never felt better in my life

why do you keep doing that

Pig: Doing what

Barking

Pig: because im a dog… im terrinle at it i know but my dad says pracrice makes perfect

but your a pig your not supposed to bark your supposed to squeal

Pig: tell that to my dad i mean he became a dog. and so did his father before him we come from a long line of dogs

Okay…Um excuse me have you seen a little wooden boy run through wait a minute foxes dont graze

Fox: thats because were cows

cows but you look like…

Fox: Check this out: moo there you see want to see me chew my cud

No no that wont be necessary

Fox: Mom

Why are all the animals here trying to be something there not

Fox Mother: Do you have any children

sort of

Fox Mother: Well then youll sort of understand this if you let your children decide what they want to be they might choose to be a… a…

train engineer

Fox mother: a what

nothing let me guess your a duck

Horse: Are you blind im a horse

But all the other animals are pretending to be something there not so I just assumed

Horse: I was disowned

oh

Horse: I could never never get the whole quacking thing down so my father basically kicked me out I was a big disapointment

parents should just let their children grow up to be themselves whatever they turn out to be

Blue Fairy: Except for the talking animals I may have had something to do with them but thats all

Listen can i ask you something

Horse: Sure

Have you seen a little wooden boy wandering through here answers to Pinocchio

Horse: Hard to say a lot of boys pass through here on their way to pleasure island runaways always end up on pleasure island
