Can you say hello back?
Geppetto was not pleased. “Naughty puppets like you need to go to school
and learn to read and write,” he said.
“Read and write?” said Pinocchio. “Ha! Not me! Look at how I can dance and leap.
I was made to play, not to work!”
nce upon a time, there was a poor wood carvercalled Geppetto who made a wooden puppet called Pinocchio.
As soon as Pinocchio was finished, he opened his eyes.
What was the first thing he did?
This one’s going to get himself into
trouble
“Catch me if you can!” he called and he ran away and hid.
Where did he hide?
What did Gepetto sell?Can you find: a friendly cricket; a fairy’s wand; a parrot?
When Gepetto found Pinocchio (and it took a long time), he sighed.
“You’re going to need an ABC book for school, but I have no money. We’ll have to sell something to buy it.”
As soon as Pinocchio had his book, he was ready for school. He had promised Geppetto he’d go straight there, but there were so many things to see!
wonderful thing of all. A puppet theatre! He didn’t have money, but he sold his
school book for a ticket.
School isn’t this way!
He was nearly at the school gates when he saw the most
Which way did he walk through town?
As soon as he entered the theatre, the other puppets
asked him to join them on stage.
What sort of show was it?
Pinocchio was the star of she show! The director gave him five gold coins and asked him to stay on.
“No, thanks,” said Pinocchio. “I must take this money to my father.I was naughty and sold my book for a ticket to the theatre! I’m going straight home and I’ll never miss school again.”
