Chapter One
A Moving and Speaking Puppet
Geppetto is an old man.
He has no wife and no children.
He is lonely. So he makes a puppet.
“His name is Pinocchio!”says Geppetto.
One night Geppetto is sleeping.
Then a fairy appears.
“ Pinocchio! I am the Blue Fairy,”she says.
“Now you can move and speak! Be good.
Go to school. Study hard. And don’t tell lies.
Then you can be a real boy!”
Next morning Geppetto sees Pinocchio.
Pinocchio moves and speaks.
“Pinocchio! Is that you?” cries Geppetto.
“It is me, Father. I am Pinocchio.
I want to go to school.”
Geppetto has no money.
He sells his coat.
“Pinocchio,here are your books and schoolbag!”
“Where is your coat?”asks Pinocchio.
“I do not need it. I am not cold,”says Geppetto.
But he is very cold.
