Geppetto was a carpenter who made wooden

toys for the children of his village. One day, he

made a wooden puppet. As soon as he had
finished, the puppet came alive and began to
dance and sing.

He sent Pinocchio to school. On the way back

home, Pinocchio wandered here and there. He
stopped to see a puppet show. He began dancing
with the puppets. The puppet master gave
Pinocchio five gold coins and said, Give these to
your father.

Then Pinocchio met a cunning cat and a shy fox.

They told him if he planted the coins under a tree,
he would get many more in the morning. So
Pinocchio planted the coins and went to sleep
under the tree. The cat and fox tied Pinocchio to
the tree, took the coins and ran away.

A kind fairy, dressed in blue, set

Pinocchio free. Pinocchio began
making up a story to tell the Blue
fairy. Then a strange thing
happened. Pinocchios nose
began to grow longer and longer.
The more he spoke, the longer it grew.
Stop! said Pinocchio.
It wont stop. Every time you tell a lie, your nose will
grow longer, said the Blue Fairy. Please make it
stop, said Pinocchio. I promise not to lie again.

The next day, on his way to school, Pinocchio met

a boy who said, Come away with me to Funland.
In Funland every day is a holiday! the boy said.
There are toys and games and sweets. And best of
all, no lessons to learn!

So Pinocchio rushed off with the boy to Funland. He

had lots of fun playing and eating.

Suddenly, Pinocchio and the

other boys found their ears
growing longer. They were turning
into donkeys! The wizard of
Funland had cast a spell on them.

As they wandered around, they came to a circus.

The ringmaster made Pinocchio work for the circus.
There, Pinocchio hurt his leg while doing tricks. The
angry ringmaster threw him into the sea.

In the water, the spell was broken. Pinocchio

became a puppet once more. A whale that was
swimming by opened its huge mouth and
swallowed Pinocchio.
 In the Whales stomach,
Pinocchio saw Geppetto in his
boat.

I was looking for you when

the whale swallowed me up. I
am so glad to have found
you! he said. They hugged
each other in delight.

I shall be a good boy from now on, promised

Pinocchio. When the whale was asleep, they crept
out of its huge mouth and sailed home.

When they reached home, Geppetto fell ill.

Pinocchio fed him hot soup and looked after him. I
will go to school and work hard so that I can earn
lots of money, said Pinocchio. You will never have
to work again.

So Pinocchio studied hard in the school. Then one

day a wonderful thing happened.

The Blue Fairy appeared and said, Pinocchio, you

are brave and have a kind heart. You deserve to
become a real boy.

So she turned him into a little boy. Geppetto and

Pinocchio lived together happily.
Moral of the story:

Dont tell lie
