The note said he had gone to sea to look for Pinocchio and had been swallowed by a whale. Where could Geppetto be? A dove suddenly appeared with a note from Gep- petto. But when the two returned home, Gep- petto was gone.


He and Jiminy Cricket ran for their lives, away from Pleasure Island. All of a sudden, he began to grow donkey ears and a tail! Pinocchio was frightened. On Pleasure Island, Pinocchio and the other boys ran wild and stuffed themselves with sweets. Pinocchio wishes to become a real boy and he promises the Fairy to be good and to study. She is a fairy.When Pinocchio tells lies his nose becomes long. A beautiful lady with blue hair smiles at him and gives him some medicine. Pinocchio wakes up in bed with a bad head. Suddenly, some strange creatures capture him and take away. During the night Pi- nocchio falls asleep and they steal his 5 gold coins, and run away. Mr Cat and Mr Fox are not Pinocchios friends. They go to a place called the Field of Wonders. The Fire Eater wants to kill Pinocchio but then listens to him, and feels sorry. That night Pinocchio had great fun as he danced on the stage. He went to Stromboli, an evil puppeteer called Fire Eater, who promised to make him famous. "Be sure to go right there." Pinocchio headed off, but never found his way to school.

"Jiminy Cricket will show you the way," said Geppetto. The next day Geppetto proudly sent his little wooden boy off to school. He must be Pinocchio's conscience - keeper of the knowledge of right and wrong. "Jiminy," she said, "you must help Pinocchio." She told Jiminy that she was giving him a very important job. "Pinocchio, if you are brave, truthful, and unselfish, you will be a real boy someday," said the Blue Fairy. "Little puppet made of pine, wake! The gift of life be thine!" And in the blink of an eye, she brought Pinocchio to life. "Good Geppetto," she said, "you have made others so happy, you de- serve to have your wish come true." Smiling, the Blue Fairy touched the puppet gen- tly with her wand. That night the Blue Fairy came to Geppetto's workshop. Once upon a time, Geppetto the woodcarver made a special puppet that he named Pinocchio.
