The Real Story of Pinocchio

Once upon a time, Gepetto, an old woodsman, living in the great Italian pine forest, was lonely.
He always dreamed about having a son.
Each day, he went cutting woods for the towns people. One day, an idea illuminated his mind,
the idea of crafting a puppet, which he will call it Pinocchio. He crafted that puppet and during
the night, the puppet becomes alive!
One year of happiness and thriller passed, on a Sunday morning, Gepetto told Pinocchio:
Its my birthday soon, my little son! I hope you didnt forget it!
Euh, sure, I didnt!
Pinocchio felt awkward. He didnt thought about that. Gepettos birthday was coming in only
three days, and he hadnt even a present.
After a long night of reflecting, Pinocchio finally decided to offer a homemade chocolate cake to
him as a present.
When the sun rose, Pinocchio was already ready to go outside find the ingredients. The main
problem was he didnt even known the in and the recipe.
So after school, he decided to go ask someone for the ingredients to bake a cake. During his
walk, Pinocchio, the wooden puppet, met the towns sorcerer.
Hey, little boy, do you need some help for your chocolate cake?
HumYou can help me?, asked Pinocchio.
Sure, I can. Follow me!
After walking few minutes so, Pinocchio saw a big, big, big candy house. They entered together
and Pinocchio got caught by a big cage.
Mouahahaha!!! I finally caught you! Youll be mine, youre gonna work for me!, said the evil
sorcerer.

Pinocchio was so scared. When the guards came and took him out of the cage, he immediately
ran away very fast and he succeeded to escape.
At the same time, the evil sorcerer, calling all his troops with him, ran after him and he took out
his magic wand. The evil devil changed the little wooden puppet into a chocolate cake!
When he came back home, he told the entire story to his father and they went to find the god
fairy.
After a long trip, they finally find the god fairy and they got the magical potion for Pinocchio.

The Lonely Landy

One day, there was a porcupine named Landy. He was lonely. No one wanted to play
with him, because they were afraid of his spike.
Dear Landy. We dont want to play with you because your spikes are too sharp. We
dont want you to hurts us, said Cici the rabbit one day.
Cici is right, Landy. It is not because youre bad or rude to us, no, Landy. Just
because of your spikes. They will stab us if we close to you, said Tito the rooster.
Landy felt lonely. Landy spent most of the time day dreaming at the river bank, I
would be happy if there were no spikes on my body.
Suddenly, Kuku the turtle appeared from the river. He came to Landy and said,
Landy, what are you thinking of?
Oh, nothing, Landy replied.
Dont lie to me, Landy! Who knows I can help you, said Kuku wisely. Then he sat
beside Landy. He wasnt afraid of Landys spikes.

Shortly, Landy told his problem. Kuku nodded his head. He said, Poor you. But it
isnt your fault. I know, your spikes are very useful and helpful for you. They will
realize it someday. Trust me!
Thanks, Kuku. You are my best friend.
One day, Koko the frog held his birthday party. He invited all his friends, including
Landy. But he decided not to come. He didnt want to mess up the party.
Ill come with you Landy. Ill tell everyone that youre harmless, said Kuku. Finally
Landy attended the party. Everyone enjoyed it.
Suddenly Tito screamed, Help.help.! The evil wolf is coming. Save yourself!
Then, everyone saved their lives, except Kuku and landy. Kuku pulled his head and
his leg into his shell. And Landy rolled his body into a ball.
Unintentionally, the evil wolf touched Landy. Of course, the spike pricked him. He
screamed, Ouch! Since his foot was bleeding, he didnt chase Landys friends any
longer. Then, he ran away.
Horray.horray.! Long live Landy! He saved our lives, said Cici and her friends.
They thanked him from then on. Landy wasnt lonely anymore.
