Original Pinocchio story

Once upon a time, there was a poor woodcarver named Geppetto. One day, he decided to carve a puppet from a piece of wood. As he worked, he noticed something magical: the puppet started to move and talk. Geppetto, filled with joy, named him Pinocchio. However, although Pinocchio was lively and charming, he was also mischievous.

Soon after, Geppetto sent Pinocchio to school. Nevertheless, Pinocchio’s curiosity led him astray. Instead of attending school, he joined a puppet show. Although he became a star, he missed Geppetto dearly. Consequently, he decided to return home.

On his way back, Pinocchio encountered a sly fox and a cunning cat. They tricked him into burying his money in the ground, promising it would grow into a tree full of gold coins. Despite his best intentions, Pinocchio fell for their deceit. Realizing his mistake too late, he lost all his money.

Then, a fairy appeared and saved Pinocchio. She warned him about the consequences of lying, making his nose grow longer each time he did. Feeling remorseful, Pinocchio promised to be good. Nevertheless, his adventures were far from over.

Later, Pinocchio found himself in a dangerous situation. He was swallowed by a giant whale! Inside the whale’s belly, he discovered Geppetto, who had been searching for him. Together, they devised a plan and escaped the whale.

Finally, back home, Pinocchio proved his bravery and selflessness. As a reward, the fairy transformed him into a real boy. Geppetto and Pinocchio lived happily ever after, grateful for the love and lessons they had learned. Thus, Pinocchio’s journey from a wooden puppet to a real boy was complete, showing the power of truth and the importance of family.
