Pinocchio Carlo Collodi A woodcarver named Geppetto once carved a naughty puppet called Pinocchio from a piece of pine. The Adventures of Pinocchio are the various assessments that Pinocchio went through in his growing years. The tales vary from the epitome of escapades to the bottomless fears of gloom. The story of the walking talking puppet is cherished by children at all times. The nose of Pinocchio is still recalled by children when they tell a lie as it grew longer the more he lied. He is a character, an urchin, who likes getting into all sorts of tomfoolery. He goes on an escapade to join a puppet show, makes a team with an elfin fox and a sly cat and plays hooky from the school that makes him suffer awfully. He finally regains a good sense of right and wrong due to a talking cricket and his guardian fairy who helps him become docile and caring.
