That was the magic of Pleasure Island! The worse they acted, the more donkey-like they became... 'give a boy enough rope, and he'll make a jackass out of himself', so the peddler said.

It affected Pinocchio too... he grew donkey ears, and a donkey tail! But this time, he finally listened to Jiminy, and got off the island before he was turned completely into a donkey. He ran straight home, only to find Geppetto missing. While Pinocchio was gone, Geppetto had gotten so worried and had left to search for him. Now Pinocchio and Jiminy began to search for him, and they found out Geppetto had used a small boat to search over the sea. Pinocchio and Jiminy went to the sea to look for Gepptetto... but then, a giant whale swallowed them whole!
