Red and Rover by Brian Basset for November 15, 2016
Transcript:
Red: Rover, just because I missed my bus doesn't mean I don't have to go to school. Mom can drive me. Rover: Don't you want to be home with me all day?! Red: Sure I do. Only I'd be playing hooky if I didn't go to school. Rover: Like Pinocchio. Red: Yes, and look what happened to him- he got turned into a donkey. HEE-HAW HEE-HAW HEE-HAW
I’m in the middle of reading the story. Seems that Pinocchio was not a pleasant lad at all – he culminated his first meeting with the Talking Cricket by smashing its head with a hammer.
Not quite Disney material.
