Pinocchio

PINOCCHIO

Once upon a time there lived a man. His name was Geppetto. One day he made a

beautiful puppet boy. He put a puppet on a chair and started to clean the floor. The puppet danced and talked. Geppetto named him Pinocchio.

It was time for Pinocchio to go to school, but Geppetto didn’t have money to buy Pinocchio his school things. He sold his coat to get the money to Pinocchio. Pinocchio took the money and went to school.

He saw a big coloruful circus tent in the street. Pinocchio gave his school money to the clown and went to the circus. The puppet master wanted to have him in his puppet show. He put Pinocchio in a cage. A fairy helped him, and Pinocchio went to school again.

The cunning fox and his friend cat stopped him in the street. They told him to plant the money in the garden. Pinocchio gave his money to the fox. He stood in the garden for a long time. When the fairy asked Pinocchio about the money, he said, “My school things are at school.”

Suddenly his nose started to grow. “Are you telling the truth?” the fairy asked. When Pinocchio told the truth, the fairy made his nose small again. She gave Pinocchio the money one more time.

The circus owner caught the boy and threw him into the sea.

Pinocchio started to swim, but a big whale swallowed him.

Geppetto heard from a fisherman that Pinocchio fell into the sea. He took a small

boat from the fisherman and went to sea. The big whale swallowed Geppetto too. He went straight into its belly and saw Pinocchio crying there. Pinocchio hugged Geppetto and said that he was sorry.

The fairy saved them. After that, Pinocchio became a very clever boy and always listened to his father. He went to school every day, helped Geppetto, and they lived happily ever after.
