The Mouse ran quickly to see Kitty and thank him for bringing Bad Luck to Pinocchio. "You did it!" he squeaked.
"Yes," purred Kitty," but it will cost me."
"What do you mean?" asked the Mouse.
"There was poison at the house."
"Oh, no! Can I get an antidote?"
"There is none," said Kitty. "The poison gets into your eyes and makes you crave whatever you see, whether it is yours or not. Pinocchio was infected by Little Head Lying Good, and he in turn spread it around the house. "
"Do you crave me?' asked the Mouse, nervously.
