Pinocchio and the Fairy

 Pinocchio and the Fairy

Once, a carpenter named Geppetto. He carved the figure of a young boy out of wooden logs and named him Pinocchio. A good fairy made the puppet come alive, and he took him as his son. Geppetto wanted Pinocchio to go to school. But the boy met an evil puppet master who wanted to use Pinocchio for money one day. The master asked him to go to the ‘fun island’ to become a real boy.

As Pinocchio started walking with the master, the good fairy overheard them. She asked Pinocchio where he was going. He lied, and his nose grew. Every time he lied, his nose grew. He became sad at seeing this and wept. Finally, he told the truth and apologized to the fairy. Seeing how sorry he was, the good fairy restored his nose to its normal size. One version of the story ends with Pinocchio turning into a real boy and reuniting with Geppetto.
