Pinocchio

Geppetto was a poor, lonely wood carver who carved a puppet from a piece of wood to live with him. After

many hours of hard work, he carved a wooden puppet boy. He has named it Pinocchio. He wanted to have

a real boy of his own. One day a bright star which was a blue fairy listened to Geppetto’s wish and turned

Pinocchio into life. Geppetto was very happy about this situation. Pinocchio was a very naughty boy. One

day he saw the door slightly open and he ran away from home. Geppetto was arrested when he took over

the puppet. Pinocchio returned to Geppetto’s home alone and he met the Talking Cricket. The cricket was

patient and like a philosopher. He wanted to put Pinocchio on the right path by giving some helpful advice

but Pinocchio ignored him all the time. One day when Geppetto returned home, Pinocchio says he wanted

to go to school like a real child but Papa Geppetto did not have enough money to send him. So he sold his

coat for some money and asked him to go straight to school. Pinocchio set out, but on his way, he saw a

circus and went to see it. However, he was noticed by the circus owner and kidnaped. The circus owner

thought he could make more money by using Pinocchio. Pinocchio was locked up in a cage, but the blue

fairy came and released him. She warned him never to repeat the same mistake and to obey his father. The

next day, he set out again for school, but he met a cat and a fox who stopped him on his way and asked him

where he was going. The fox convinced Pinocchio that the money he was carrying would not be sufficient

to buy the stationery, and suggested that he give him the money and plant it in a magical forest where the

money would multiply. Pinocchio believed in the fox's story and he lost all his money. The blue fairy again

appeared and asked Pinocchio about the money. Pinocchio lied by making some excuses. His nose grew

longer and longer. The fairy realised that he kept on lying. The fairy warned him again and helped him by

returning the money. The next day, Pinocchio met the circus owner on his way to school. The circus owner

was angry when he saw Pinocchio as he thought that Pinocchio had run away from the circus. He punished

him by throwing him into the deep blue sea where he was swallowed by a giant whale. The blue fairy that

helped Pinocchio appeared again and rescued him from the whale's stomach. When Papa Geppetto found

him, they ran and hugged each other and started crying. Pinocchio promised his father he would change
into a better boy and obey him. At the end, the fairy granted him to be a real human boy. They lived

happily ever after.
