Geppetto's Wish

Once upon a time there was a carver. His name was Geppetto, and he made puppets. He was alone and he wanted a son very much. One day he managed to carve a very beautiful wooden boy. He named the puppet Pinocchio.

“If only Pinocchio were alive and not wooden,” sighed Geppetto, praying to the starry sky. He believed that his lucky star was shining on him. At night, while Geppetto slept, a star came down from the sky and turned into a Fairy. “I will grant you your wish, Geppetto,” whispered the fairy, waving her magic wand. At that moment, Pinocchio came to life.
