Pinocchio
(after Carlo Lorenzini)
1. There was once a kind old man named Geppetto. He lived in a little house with his goldfish, Cleo, and his cat, Figaro. Another friend, Jiminy Cricket, lived in the house, too. Geppetto could make wonderful things out of wood. One day, he made a puppet that looked just like a boy. He called the puppet Pinocchio. "How I wish Pinocchio was a real boy," he said. "It would be fun to have son." A good fairy heard Geppetto's wish. That night she came to his house when everyone was sleeping. She touched Pinocchio with her wand.
