Coming at last out of the surprise into which the Fairy's words had thrown him, Pinocchio asked for permission to give out the invitations. "Indeed, you may invite your friends to tomorrow's party. Only remember to return home before dark. Do you understand?" "I'll be back in one hour without fail," answered the Marionette. "Take care, Pinocchio!

Little Daylight was as merry and bright all night as any baby in the world, but with the first sign of dawn she fell asleep, and slept like a little dormouse till dark. Nothing could waken her while day lasted. Still, the royal family got used to this; but the rest of the bad fairy's gift was a great deal worse, that about waxing and waning with the moon.

This time the magic words had the desired effect, and the donkey and table-cloth provided the family with treasures untold.
