Long ago in Italy, there lived an old clock-maker. His name was Geppetto. When he worked, he felt happy. But when he rested, a sad feeling came over him. “All my life and no child to call my own!” he would think. So, one day, Geppetto created a boy puppet(木偶).
He made the arms and legs of the puppet so they could move. He made nice clothes for it, as if it were a real boy. “I will call you Pinocchio,” said Geppetto. That night, Geppetto put the puppet onto the bed.
From out of the window, there was a big star in the sky. Geppetto looked out of the window to the big star. He said, “If I could make one wish, it would be for a real boy of my own.” That night, the same big star flew into Geppetto’s room. It became into a Blue Fairy(仙子)! The Blue Fairy flew over to the bed.
“Little puppet,” said the Blue Fairy. “In the morning, you will be able to walk and talk like a real boy. And if someday you can show that you are brave and true, you may become a real boy.” Pinocchio’s eyes opened.
