When Mastro Geppetto, a poor carpenter, carves a log of wood into a marionette, little does he know that his creation, Pinocchio, would be notorious and wicked. He pulls off Gepetto's wig as soon as his hands are carved, kicks him on the tip of his nose as soon as his feet are finished and when he is taught to walk, Pinocchio runs around the room and flies out the open door. Thus begins the adventures of Pinocchio. From killing the cricket and burning his own feet to becoming a donkey and getting into trouble with the assassins, he leaps from one trick and mischief to the other. And with every lie he tells his nose keeps growing longer and longer and longer. But Pinocchio wishes to become a real boy and has promised the fairy to be good.
