Pinocchio either plays this trope straight or just does Rule Of Funny depending on your view. The main character drinks and smokes and is sold into slavery as a donkey. The funny interpretation is that drinking and smoking makes you a (hmm). Or that you should get a good education or else all you'll be good for is hard labor. Or maybe "if you play now, you'll have to work later. If you work now, you'll get to play later." It's all a little confusing for kids.
