6
Geppetto finds a piece of wood in the forest.
He takes it home. He begins to cut it, but a voice in
the wood says,
“Don’t hurt me!”
Geppetto says,
“I will make a boy puppet. I
will call you Pinocchio.”
Geppetto makes the face of the puppet. He
makes the eyes. They look at him! He makes the
nose. It grows very long! He makes the mouth. It
laughs at him! He makes the arms and legs. The
puppet runs out the door!
