Episode Title:
I Won't Be Fooled Around.
Episode Description:
When Pinocchio gets good marks in school he tries to become more helpful at home too, which irritates Charlie as Pinocchio closes off his mouse hole since his teacher said animals should not be allowed indoors. This prompts Charlie to ask Jack and Willie to get rid of the puppet and the next day when Pinocchio is trying to catch fish for his father the animals offer to take him to a better place to fish, tying an anchor to his leg and throwing him overboard once they're over the deepest part of the lake, though he manages to save himself by pulling his leg off and retrieving it later. The following day Nora also gets involved and suggests to Pinocchio that a priest may be able to grant his wish, convincing him to skip school in order to travel to a far-off monastery in a desert like mountain, where the two priests (actually Jack and Willie in disguise) tie him to a cross claiming that a miracle may occur if he stays there for three days. Eventually the heat begins to take its toll on the puppet and the Oak Fairy assures him that he will escape safely, soon it begins to rain though he's now in danger from the resulting flash flood. Seeing this Charlie begins to feel guilty and frees Pinocchio by chewing through the ropes, when they return home he removes the board from Charlie's house and the two begin to become friends.
