The next day, Pinocchio encounters the pair again, unaware that they are the murderers who tried to hang him. When Pinocchio notices the Cat's paw in a sling, the Fox claims that the Cat cut it off to feed a starving wolf. They lead Pinocchio to the town of Catchfools ("Acchiappacitrulli"), where the coins are soon buried. In Pinocchio's absence, the pair dig up the coins and escape. Pinocchio learns of this from a parrot, who mocks him for falling for their tricks.
