into the hands of Gepetto, the carpenter. Gepetto's

dream was to create a puppet that could dance and

handle a sword. He would name this wooden puppet

Pinocchio.

So, Gepetto started to carve his lump of wood. He carved

hair, and then gave it a forehead and a mouth. Just as he had

finished the face, he noticed that the puppet's eyes were

moving. The puppet was alive, truly alive!

Delighted, the old man quickly carved the neck, the

shoulders, followed by the rest of the body. The little puppet

was hardly finished when he threw himself into the

carpenter's arms to kiss him, and started to dance. As Gepetto

was very poor, he made Pinocchio some clothes from paper, a

pair of shoes from bark, and a hat made from a loaf of bread.

To become a real little boy, Pinocchio had to go to school. So

the very next day, with a nice new notebook under his arm,

the puppet set off. On the way he met a peasant who was so

ugly that it was scary to look at him. His long beard was

blacker than an ink blot. His eyes sparkled like red lanterns.

Terrified, Pinocchio fled and ran as far as his wooden

legs would carry him. He reached a filed where

he found five gold coins.

He decided to take these back to his poor  father, the

carpenter. But at the edge of the wood, Pinocchio met and

injured fox and a blind cat who were limping along together.

''Hello. Pinocchio,'' said the fox. My'' what pretty gold coins

you have. Would you like to make a thousand coins from your

meager five? Well, at the foot of the Ninnies, there is a magic

field that everyone calls the Field of Miracles. If you dig a hole

and plant a single gold coin, you will find there, the following

day, a tree laden with as many gold coins as there are grains

on an ear of corn.''

''Let's go there immediately!'' exclaimed Pinocchio,

forgetting all his good intentions about going to school.

abandoned him, saying they had to go and see someone. So

Pinocchio continued along the path alone, in the dense, dark

forest. Suddenly two menacing figures leaped out at him from

the undergrowth.

''Your money or your life!'' shouted the robbers, who were

really the fox and the cat, disguised as robbers. The puppet

ran a way through the forest. But suddenly, a trap closed

around his heel. Pinocchio was seized by such a fit of

trembling that every joint in his wooden legs

rattled. As if by magic, a child appeared. She

was as beautiful as an angel, with

blue hair and a face as

white as wax.

She freed the puppet from the trap and told him in an

enchanting voice, Little Pinocchio, take the gold coins to you

father.''

''I have lost them, ''lied Pinocchio, who really had them had

in his pocket. Hardly had he uttered these words than his

nose, which was already long, became even longer. It became

so long that he could not turn his head without knocking his

nose! The beautiful child, who was really a fairy, began to

laugh.

''Why are you laughing, asked Pinocchio, suddenly

embarrassed.

I am laughing at the lies that you dare to tell me. But

taking pity on him, the little fairy clapped three times and

Pinocchio's enormous nose returned to its normal size.

It serves me right! the puppet wailed. I wanted to be lazy

and to have fun. but I followed the advice of dishonest friends.

Bad luck has been following me around. If had

stayed at my father's house, I would

not be so unhappy!''

would work hard at school. Before vanishing, the fairy clapped

one last time and a pigeon appeared in they sky.

''Pinocchio, come with me, it said, I have just seen

Gepetto. He is building a boat in which to travel across the

ocean in search of you. He is prepared to face storms and gales

just to find you again! We must save him before it is too late.''

Pinocchio sat on the pigeon's back and they flew eastward.

Gepetto had already reached the open sea, and

Pinocchio watched in horror as a wave larger than

any of the others tipped the frail little boat on its

side. The boat sank and Gepetto did not reappear.

''I fear that your father has been swallowed by

the terrible shark, lamented the pigeon. This

monster is larger than a five-story house. His

mouth is so large and so deep that a carriage

with sixteen horses could fit inside, Frightened

by these words, Pinocchio lost

his balance and fell into the

sea.

Luckily the wooden puppet knew how to swim, so he tried to

reach an island on the horizon. But the terrible shark headed

straight for him and swallowed him so roughly that he was

knocked unconscious.

Pinocchio finally woke up and saw a faint glow, deep within

the monster's stomach. And at the end of a tunnel he found his

father, sitting there exhausted.

''Dear father! I have finally found you. From now on I will be

a good boy! Now, let's make our escape while the shark is

sleeping.''

Together they climbed up into the monster's mouth. There

they crept across its tongue and climbed over the three rows of

teeth. Pinocchio threw himself in the water. Took his father on

his back and began to swim. Reaching the shore of the far-off

island, they fell into a deep sleep. The puppet dreamed of the

beautiful child with blue hair, and when he awoke, his eyes

opened wide! He was no longer a puppet but a real little boy.
