In the morning, Pinocchio was delighted to see a freshly plucked hen beside him, begging to be eaten. Famished, he began to tear at the hen. All of a sudden, he saw a shadow fall over him, and looking up, saw the farmer.

"Taking bribes are you? Well, for being such a bad watchdog, I'll have you here as my prisoner for life!"

Pinocchio was robbed of his hen and was forced to live in the dog house for the remainder of his days and was never to see Geppetto again.
