Once upon a time, an old carpenter bought a very queer piece of wood. As he used his plane on it, he heard a little laughing voice say, "Stop! You're tickling me. The old man was puzzled by the voice. He said, "This is a strange piece of wood. What shall I do with it? I think I'll make it into a puppet. He set to work, and as the puppet boy took shape, the old man said. "He must have a name. I will call him Pinocchio." As soon as he finished making the eyes, the carpenter was amazed to see them move. Before the mouth was made, it began to laugh. "Stop laughingt" the old man said.
It did stop. se uoos se ing his back was turned, It put out its tongue. And its nose grew long. No sooner were its hands ready than it, snatched off the carpenter's wig and put it on its Own head. And then Pinocchio's nose grew longer. When its legs and feet were made, they were too stiff to use, so the carpenter showed Pinocchio how to use them. Now. the carpenter decided to send. Pinocchio to school. But there, Pinocchio did nothing but look for fun. He often ran away from "Why don't you
go to school?" asked the carpenter. Pinocchio told him a lie... and his nose started growing longer and longer. Each time he was rude to someone or told a lie, his nose grew longer. Finally Pinocchio said, "I'm glad to be a real boy. I'll never lie again."
