The clowns returned Pinocho money, but on the way home he was robbed by and evil cat and an equally evil fox. The fairy appeared again and asked what happened; Pinocho pretended he had been captured by a monster. Suddenly his nose grew, and the fairy said, Whenever you lie, your nose will get bigger.
