Pinocchio (6)

albatrus

One morning, Pinocchio was walking to the farm. He looked down and saw a snail. The snail was the blue-haired fairy's pet. It looked very sad. It said that the fairy was very sick. Pinocchio gave the snail some money. He wanted the snail to buy medicine for the fairy.
"You are very kind, Pinocchio," said the snail. "I will go to buy it now."
All day, Pinocchio was worried about the fairy. He wanted to see her again. That night, he had a dream. The blue-haired fairy was talking to him.
"Before, you were a naughty boy," she said. "Now, you are kind-hearted and hard-working. I will make you into a real boy. Good-bye, Pinocchio. May you always be happy."
Pinocchio woke up. He ran to the mirror and touched himself. He had skin! He was a real boy now! He ran to Geppetto's room and told him the news. Geppetto was very happy and gave him a warm hug. From then on, they lived happily ever after.
