Pinocchio

Once upon a time, an old carpenter named Gepetto carved a boy-shaped puppet and named it Pinocchio. He hoped that the boy would become a human being. A fairy heared his words and fulfilled his wishes. He turned the puppet alive.

But the fairy hoped if the boy really wanted to be a real boy, he must be a good boy. Gepetto loved her very much, but Pinocchio was pretty naughty and rarely told the truth. Once he lies, his wooden nose would grow long. He always promised to be a good boy. But he forgot his words and skipped school with his friends to join the circus. Now, he began to miss Gepetto.

One day, he heard that his father had been swallowed up by a very large whale. He went directly to find the whale. The whale also swallowed him. In the belly of a whale, Pinocchio and Gepetto were delighted to see each other. They made plans to get out and start to tickle the whale's belly. As the whale opened his mouth and sneezed, Pinocchio and Gepetto slipped out.

They got home safely. The fairy was pleased with Pinocchio's courage and turned him into a human being. From that day on, he was a very good boy and never skipped school. Father and son live happily ever after.
