Grandpa Geppetto carved

a puppet out of wood.

The wooden puppet

blinked his eyes

and waved his arms and legs.

“Oh, boy! You are alive!”

Geppetto named the wooden puppet

‘Pinocchio’.

“Pinocchio, Pinocchio!

I am Pinocchio!”

Geppetto made Pinocchio his son.

He was poor,

but he wanted to send Pinocchio

to school.

Geppetto sold his old coat

and bought books for Pinocchio.

He cut off the colored paper

to make clothes for Pinocchio.

“You look great.

Are you ready for school?

Have a good day at school,

Pinocchio.”

“Thank you. You are the best, Dad!

I promise you.

I will make you proud and glad.

I will study hard for you.”

Pinnochio couldn’t wait to

go to school.

“I’ll study hard for my dad!”

Just then,

Pinocchio saw people gathered

in front of a colorful tent.

“Everyone, come and see

the marionettes and clowns.

Welcome to the best puppet show in town!”

“Wow, it looks fun!

I’ll go to school... tomorrow!”

Pinocchio sold his books

and bought a ticket

for the puppet show.

The puppets on the stage

saw Pinocchio

sitting in the audience and said,

“Why are you there, wooden puppet?

Come and join us!”

Pinocchio went up to the stage

and played around.

The owner of the theater

got very angry.

“How dare you ruin my show!

I’ll throw you in the fire!”

“Dad, please help me!

I’m sorry. I broke a promise.

I wasn’t being honest.”

The owner of the theater

felt sorry for Pinocchio,

so he let him go.

He even gave him

some gold coins

for him and his father.

Pinocchio met a fox and a cat

on his way home.

Pinocchio showed off his gold coins,

and the fox and the cat said,

“Plant your gold coins in the garden.

The gold coin trees will grow and grow.”

“You can be rich!

There’s a magic field. I’ll let you know.

Plant your gold coins!”

Pinocchio planted the gold coins

in the magic field

as the fox and the cat said.

“I will be rich and live happily with my dad!”

“You will be rich and live happily with your dad!”

The next day,

Pinocchio ran to the magic field

as soon as the sun rose.

“Oh, no! Where are my gold coins?

Why don’t I see any gold coin trees around

or the coins I buried under the ground?”

Just then, a fairy appeared.

“Pinocchio, oh, mischievous Pinocchio!

Your dad is looking for you desperately.

Why are you crying here helplessly?”

“The fox and the cat

took my gold coins.”

Pinocchio’s nose grew longer!

“I lost my gold coins

while running back home.”

Again, Pinocchio’s nose grew

longer and longer!

“Longer, longer nose!

Your nose will grow as you lie.

Longer and longer! It will reach the sky.

Be a good boy, Pinocchio.”

Pinocchio decided to be a good boy.

“I won’t lie ever again.

I promise I’ll be good.

I’ll try my best, and I should.

I promise you.”

The fairy called the woodpeckers.

The woodpeckers pecked

Pinocchio’s nose.

Pinnochio returned home,

but Geppetto wasn’t there.

He left to find Pinocchio.

Pinocchio studied hard

and waited for Geppetto.

Then one day,

some friends called Pinocchio.

“Pinocchio, let’s go to the Land of Toys!”

“No one will give you a lecture.

You can play every day.

You don’t have to study anymore!”

“Wow, it sounds so fun!

I’ll be there for a while.

Just, just for a little while!”

Pinocchio had so much fun

playing in the Land of Toys.

He lost track of time.

While Pinocchio was playing,

his body started to change

little by little.

“My ears are pointy!

My fingers are stubby!

Neigh! It’s not me.

Look at these stumpy hooves and a long tail.

I’m a donkey. Oh, no way!

Neigh!”

Pinocchio’s friends

also became donkeys.

“You had a lot of fun. Now work!”

The coachman sold the children

who turned into donkeys

to a faraway country.

Pinnochio was carried

across a sea by boat.

There was a sudden storm,

and the boat capsized.

Pinocchio fell into the sea.

He became a wooden puppet again.

Just at that time,

Here’s an enormous shadow

quietly approaching Pinocchio!

It opens its huge mouth. Ah!

It swallows the wooden puppet. Gulp!

“Dad, help me!”

Pinnochio found a light

while wandering around

the dark tummy.

It was Geppetto with a lamp!

“Oh, Dad, why are you here?”

“Oh, Pinocchio,

what are you doing here?”

Geppetto fell into the water

and was swallowed by a shark

while looking for Pinocchio.

“Dad, let’s get out of here.

Please hold me tight.

We can make it. We can live!”

As soon as the shark

opened its mouth,

Pinocchio ran outside.

Pinnochio and Geppetto

safely came home.

Pinocchio studied hard.

He became a good boy.

Then one day, the fairy appeared.

“Pinocchio!

Sweet and wonderful boy, Pinocchio!

Now you shall be a real boy!”

“Dad, Dad,

look at me!

I became a real boy!”

“Oh, my dear son, Pinocchio!

You finally became a real boy!”

Pinocchio and Geppetto

lived happily ever after.
