ALIDORO SAVES PINOCCHIO

Suddenly a big dog ran into the cave.

“Get out!” cried the fisherman.

But the poor dog was very hungry.

“Give me some fish and I’ll go!” he said.

“Get out, I tell you!” cried the fisherman.

Then the dog heard a voice;

“Save me, Alidoro! He wants to eat me! Save
me!”

The dog knew Pinocchio’s voice, which came
from the frying-pan.

What do you think he did? He jumped up,
caught Pinocchio in his mouth and ran out of the
cave.

The fisherman ran after him, but he couldn’t
catch him. The dog was too quick.

Alidoro ran and ran. But he stopped at last
and put his friend Pinocchio on the ground.

“Thank you, thank you very much, Alidoro?”
said the puppet.

“We must all help each other. You saved me,
and I saved you.”

Then the dog went home.
