The fairy shook her head. "Pinocchio, you must not lie," she said. "Your nose is getting longer. That means you're lying. You will never be happy if you lie."
Mastro Antonio was a carpenter. He had a red nose that looked like a cherry, so everyone called him Mastro Cherry. One day, Mastro Cherry was making a table. He found a piece of wood and hit it with his ax. The wood cried out, "Please don't hurt me." Mastro Cherry looked around. "Who was talking?" he wondered.
He hit the wood again, and he heard the same voice. "Ouch! That hurt even worse!" Mastro Cherry looked at the wood. Was it talking to him? Just then, an old friend walked into his shop. The old man's name was Geppetto. He was a puppet maker. Geppetto wanted a piece of wood. He was going to make a puppet.
The carpenter gave the strange piece of wood to Geppetto. The old man took the wood home. He sat down at his table and began to make the new puppet. "I will call this new puppet Pinocchio," he thought. First, he cut out the puppet's head. Suddenly, the puppet's head began to laugh. "Why are you laughing?" said Geppetto.
"Stop it right now!" The puppet stopped laughing, but it stuck out its tongue.
"Such a naughty puppet," said Geppetto. "Behave yourself, or I will not make your legs or your feet!"
The puppet was quiet. Geppetto made the neck, the arms, the chest, and finally, the legs. Now, the puppet was finished. Geppetto wanted Pinocchio to walk. He put him on the floor. He showed him how to move his legs. The puppet learned fast. He started walking faster and faster. Then, he was running around the room. "Ha! This is fun!" cried Pinocchio. He ran to the door and out of the house.
"Stop!" cried Geppetto, but Pinocchio wouldn't listen. He ran down the street. Geppetto followed him, but he was too slow. He couldn't catch the little puppet. Pinocchio hid behind a wall. A policeman saw the puppet and picked him up.
"Who are you?" asked the policeman. "I've never seen a running puppet before."
Just then, Geppetto arrived. He took Pinocchio in his hands, and shook him. "You are a naughty boy!" he yelled. "You must listen to big people! We are going home and I'm going to punish you!"
The policeman heard Geppetto, and took his arm. "You shouldn't hurt young boys," he said. "I'm going to take you to jail." Then, he put Pinocchio on the ground and took Geppetto away.
