Pinocchio was a puppet made of talking wood. Yes, of talking wood, and it seemed that that strange author didn’t know how or why or anything about it, because everything in this book appeared to be able to talk anyway. The puppet, like most boys of his age, told lies, and of these he told lots, so many that his nose, which was already rather long, grew longer each time he told one. In this story he went on many curious adventures, all of which were almost condensed, which was what I found not very good about them. However, each tale was quite funny and I can’t say no to that; like the one where he went to the blue-haired fairy’s house and she explained to him that lies have short legs or long noses, and his happened to have the latter. His father, Geppetto, wished very much that he was alright so far away, because I have to tell you that his little son Pinocchio often would go off on random adventures away from his terrified father, and as he had nobody to look after him, so came the little fairy who was kind enough to do just that. But will puppet Pinocchio learn his lesson?
