Pinocchio

A long time ago in a small town there lived an old toy named Geppetto. He used to make wooden toys and sell them. all the kids were fond of his attractive and colorful toys. Geppetto always wanted to have his own child.

“Today I will create the beautiful puppet boy whom I will treat like my child”

Geppetto searched for a fine log in the forest and soon found a small pine log.

“Ahha… this is just the perfect one I was looking for”

Geppetto took the log on his back like a baby and carried it to his house. He put the log on the table and started to carve with his artful hands the log started to shape into a figure. First the head of the puppet formed then his arms and legs followed. Geppetto finally finished the nice beautiful puppet boy.

“Oh … what a handsome boy I've made. You remind me of my childhood son. I will never sell you to anyone. I shall call you Pinocchio my son”

It was night time Geppetto went to sleep with Pinocchio close to him. Geppetto fell into a deep sleep as he was tired of the hard work, he had done all day. Suddenly there appeared a fairy “Gepetto you have given happiness to many kids with your creative toys. I reward you with a special gift for your noble work”

The fairy waved her magic wand on Pinocchio and what a surprise the puppets started to move on his own. He jumped right out of bed and bowed to the ferry respectfully.

“Thank you, fairy you have given me a life. Now I can walk, I can dance”

“Yes, my friend now you are alive. You have to be a good child. Don't trouble your father and always listen to him. If you prove yourself to be a good child, I will give you a special gift”

"Oh really? I will always listen to my father”

“Shh your father is sleeping. Do not disturb him surprise him in the morning”

Next morning as Geppetto woke up he saw Pinocchio sitting next to him staring at him and blinking his eyes.

“Oh, my puppet is alive. My Pinocchio is alive”

“Yes, father I am alive”
