Willie and Jack eyed him hungrily

mama squirrel
my careless child was put into a cage
hey you're my squirrel I paid a lot for
you perhaps but he's my baby Pinocchio
yes that little squirrel you're yelling
at is my son you may have paid for him

a lot of money how will I get it back
from me I squirreled away money for
emergencies like this I have three coins
and I want you to pick the one that you
spent on my son
I hope I have the right one
[Music]
I pick my coin

overtook him he went for the gold but
jump back the little squirrel was
watching I'm not telling anybody a lie
exactly
[Music]
all set oh yes I'm glad it all worked
out I'm glad we straightened that out
bye
I wonder if he's gonna try to get it
back from me
[Music]
you're rich and Rich
[Music]
we want to be rich too I got a brilliant
plan willing lend me your ears
listen up
this morning tree has been a family
secret for years you must promise not to
tell anyone my lips are shield boss I
think you're making up this entire story
if there is such a tree why aren't you
rich uh let me see it's impossible to go
near it because it grows in a very
dangerous location come on Jack it's me
you know you can't pull my leg
all right smartypants for your
information I don't know if the tree
exists but we want Pinocchio to think it
does so we can talk him out of his gold
coins
yeah his money will be ours before he
knows it
hi there
oh so what's up you're looking cheerful
nothing much huh now come on you can
share your good news with us that's what
friends are for we know you got a gold
coin because you gave that baby squirrel
back to his mom how do you know that
you wanna know you're ready you're a
hero we're on it just and just to know
you really I didn't think I did much so
since we're your very best friends we
have come up with an investment plan
that should interest you right now you
only have one gold coin why not you just
to make thousands of them that's
impossible no it's not obviously you've
never heard of The Money Tree have you a
tree that produces gold coins all you
need is one gold coin to get it started
wait if this is real why aren't you rich
because there's a problem neither man
their animal can get nearer to uproot it
but since you're made of wood yourself
you'll be able to do it I'm Oak
ain't no kids Mighty strong there's no
one else in the world who can handle
this job will you do it come on
Pinocchio let's go get the tree then you
can grow all the gold coins your little
heart desires your father will be proud
it could be true
pal why don't we get started on our trip
what do you say
Pinocchio reluctantly agreed to the
money tree investment plan then set out
on the questionable Journey
oh
don't look down
are you crazy I'm not even looking ahead
[Music]
we're almost there Charlie
[Music]
okay let's move we still got a long way
to go
[Music]
Pinocchio's Spirits were lifted when the
strange company wandered into some
beautiful ancient ruins if such wondrous
ruins could exist maybe a money tree
could too
but when it became apparent that the
Final Destination was an active volcano
Pinocchio began to doubt the wisdom of
his decision
foreign
from here you're on your own and you're
headed straight down huh
[Music]
going up through the golden tree bring
it back
[Music]
it'd have been easier just to steal his
gold coin than to go through all this
yeah I could have snuck up on him and
snatched it what's with you dummies a
stunt like that could ruin our
reputation I
only reputation we have is a bad one all
right all right we'll Rob him if the
money tree doesn't pan out the way it's
supposed to
[Music]
oh
boy I forgot to ask what the money tree
looks like I hope I'll be able to locate
it
hmm it sure is a peculiar looking plant
are you the money tree oh there's light
coming from that one
the money tree
[Music]
oh
wow look at this what is it
Pinocchio had never seen a skull so he
had no idea that others had been there
before him or that he was in danger
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
it is forbidden
[Music]
I'm not a man or a beast I'm not even a
real boy what are you I'm part of an old
oak tree
please trust me I'm not lying take a
closer look at me
[Music]
you're right I am sir
I'm a puppet I was carved from a branch
of a Great Oak Tree since what Pinocchio
said was true the money tree's protector
could do nothing but watch as he
uprooted the tree
[Music]
I did it here's the money tree you told
me about see how shiny it is oh hey
playing along with them until we get his
gold coin I'm puzzled it was shining
like gold when I uprooted it don't worry
it'll be fine we just need to replant it
I don't think there's enough moisture in
this ground what are you talking about
this place is perfect we just need to
prepare the ground a little that's all
Charlie do your stuff
hmm
almost done dancing off Charlie okay
kiddo planted what you got here is an
investment with growth potential
don't fill it in yet you have to bury
your coin to activate the tree's gold
producing power do you really think it
needs my coin to grow you'll be making a
big mistake if you don't use your coin
to fertilize this soil don't forget
you're transplanting your tree from gold
rich soil into new Earth here
well I guess you're right here goes I'd
say it was planted pretty well
let you do it all right now for the time
being one of us should be watering it
every hour on the hour isn't that too
much water what are you kidding look at
it when do you think we'll see the first
gold coins in about a week that's a long
time to stay here and water it we'll
water in shifts Charlie Willie and I'll
take the first one so you can go home
and rest up yeah we don't mind looking
after it at all yeah better run along
your father will be wondering what
happened to you and you better start
thinking because you're gonna have a lot
of explaining to do oh boy I forgot all
about that but I don't have anything to
worry about he'll forgive me when I tell
him how rich we're gonna be see you
later
[Music]
my stomach's finally going to be full
come along boys let's get some ciao
shouldn't one of us stay here water the
tree Mandarin looks beyond help you
never know shouldn't we keep an eye on
it anyway let's let Pinocchio do it and
we'll keep an eye on him besides we
don't know for sure if it really is a
money tree
the Natural Balance of the volcano's
Valley had been upset by the golden
seedlings disappearance the octopus tree
was unable to prevent Pinocchio from
uprooting his young charge because it is
forbidden for one tree to harm another
however because the imbalance in the
valley was so great he had to do
something so he sent forth a golden
seedling Spirit on a special mission
just as Pinocchio reached his house the
golden seedling Spirit flew overhead
assuming it was a sh**ting star
Pinocchio didn't give it another thought
so worried
all right but father I don't have your
copper coin or the bread you sent me to
buy what happened my son I found a
wonderful
it needs a lot of care right now but
coins you shouldn't make up such stories
that expect me to believe them I know it
must sound crazy but it's true you
bought this tree is that where my money
went
no sir actually I bought a squirrel he
was caged up but I let him go and his
mother paid me back even more than I
spent your story doesn't make much sense
son
I'll make you proud of me Father by the
end of the week you'll have more money
than you've ever had wait a minute maybe
it doesn't need seven days I'll Water it
more right now bye my goodness son what
are you doing meanwhile the golden
seedling Spirit headed straight for the
old oak tree to find Pinocchio's Oak
fairy when the oak fairy heard what
Pinocchio had done she promised to do
what she could to restore the proper
balance to the Volcanic Valley by
returning the golden tree
I hope this will be enough
to go and strength I will bump it he can
work all night and you'll never have to
feed him
it's very important that you grow up
tonight I want you to know I'm talking
to you as one tree to another this place
is your new home don't worry I'll be
taking good care of you I'll Water you
as much as possible and fertilize you to
your heart's content you're gonna be
happy I want you to get well and grow up
big and strong
oh Fairy Godmother what are you doing in
my bucket I'm behind you that's my
reflection Pinocchio I ain't you're
worried about me being out late
I'm fine godmother I'm being good true
what worries me is what you've done
Pinocchio
you know the gold tree belongs in the
volcano's soil you must return it I'm
not putting the tree back just yet I
plan to make my father rich in many ways
your father is already a rich man wealth
can't be measured by the number of gold
coins you possess oh yeah you have a lot
to learn in Pinocchio in the twinkling
of an eye his fairy godmother vanished
leaving Pinocchio to learn another
lesson on his own I'm not gonna listen I
know what I'm doing Pinocchio continued
watering the tree until he dropped from
exhaustion
fat and happy after their huge dinner
Jack Willie and Charlie slept too so
nobody was awake to see the miracle that
was about to occur
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
thank you dear tree for making me the
richest puppet in the world
[Music]
I must still be dreaming I'm having the
same dream is that possible my family
secret must be through and through we're
rich we're rich we're very very rich
come on what are we waiting for let's go
for the gold out of my way I'm not
moving Jack
as the foursome struggle to get at the
Gold a strange thing happened the gold
Sheen was reflected off the
mountainsides in the Moonlight Awakening
the whole town
[Music]
There's gold in those mountains grab
your shovels and follow me burning with
Gold Fever the townspeople headed for
the Hills
oh
lizards I can't believe it well that
makes two of us I reckon
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
hey let's squeak what are you doing
[Music]
I want more let's chop the tree down to
get the ones on top you can't be serious
if the trees cut down it won't produce
any more coins if we don't do it someone
else will b*at us to it
could be a million coins trapped in its
trunk let's cut it open
[Music]
now oh please don't drop it down I'm
begging you that dream belongs to me
[Music]
laughs
it's all dried up
no not my money oh what's this one by
one the townspeople saw the gold turn
into dried leaves Before Their
disbelieving Eyes Charlie watched them
search frantically for their goals and
decided to check out his coin
[Music]
suddenly a swirling gust of wind swooped
down from the sky and swept the leaves
away god mother I'm sorry I know you and
I hope you've learned this lesson well
greedy people destroy the beauty of the
earth I'd rather you remain in public
and become one of them Pinocchio took
his fairy Godmother's words to heart and
silently vowed to never be greedy again
he'd rather be as strong as the Oak from
which he came oh
spent on me yes but I was greedy and
took the gold one from your mother
please tell your mother I'm sorry and I
hope you'll both forgive me for being
ungrateful okay but you must take this
copper corn and buy bread yup
oh my father the freshest loaf I could
find
Pinocchio now had a whole new
appreciation for that little copper coin
and raced off to the bakery as fast as
his legs could carry him he could hardly
wait to tell his father what he had
learned about greed and The Importance
of Being Honest
[Music]
[Music]
thank you
