Once a time, a carpenter named Master Antonio was making a wooden table. He took a piece of wood to build the leg of his little table. As soon as he was going to remove the bark of the wood with his sharp axe, he heard a small voice say imploringly "Do not strike me so hard". Every time Antonio chopped the wood, a faint voice was heard but he had no idea where was it coming from. The next day, Geppeto, an old little man came to visit the carpenter with a question. He wanted to build a beautiful wooden puppet. One that would be able to dance, fence, and turn somersaults. Again an unknown voice was heard that addressed Geppeto as, “Polendina”. On hearing himself called Polendina, Mastro Geppetto went lost his head with rage and threw himself upon Mastro Antonio. After the fight, they settled their accounts, shook their hands, and swore to be good friends for the rest of their lives. Geppetto took the fine piece of wood to build his puppet, thanked Mastro Antonio, and limped away toward home. www.chimesradio.com http://onelink.to/8uzr4g https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/ https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/ Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

On reaching home, Geppetto began to cut and shape the wood into a Puppet. He decided to call his puppet, “Pinocchio”. Every time he made Pinocchio’s nose, it would stretch out long. The eyes of the puppet seemed to stare at him, his mouth seemed to laugh and poke fun at Geppetto. As he was about to put the last touches on the puppet, Pinocchio snatched Geppetto’s wig and put it on his head. He continued doing several other mischiefs that ended up poor Geppetto in prison. Geppetto wept like a child and regretted making a puppet without thinking about the consequences.https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

While poor Geppetto was in the prison, Pinocchio was free in the outside world – running wildly across fields and meadows. He jumped over bushes, across brooks and ponds, as if he was a goat or a hare chased by hounds. When he reached home he found a large cricket crawling slowly up the wall.Pinocchio asked the cricket to get out of his room and not to return again. But instead, the cricket kept nagging about the fact that he disliked studying. The wise old cricket did not shut up even when Pinocchio lashed out at him with anger and called him “ugly”. At night when he was hungry, he found nothing in the room to eat. That is when he realized he has disobeyed his father Geppetto. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Pinocchio went out in the dark to look for some food. The weather was getting worse. Lightning and thunderstorm shot across the sky. Trees were swaying because of the strong breeze. Pinocchio reached the village and asked for some bread from an old man but was denied.Tired, Pinocchio came back home and slept near a stove. While he slept, his wooden feet began to burn and turned into ashes. In the morning when he heard Geppetto’s voice, he jumped up from his seat to open the door. But, as he did so, he stumbled and fell headlong to the floor. Geppetto climbed up the windows to enter the house and when he saw Pinocchio without a leg, he felt really sad. Like a father, he picked him up and hugged him but Pinocchio began to scream and cry. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Geppetto shared whatever food he had with him with Pinocchio. But as soon as Pinocchio’s hunger was satisfied, he started crying for new legs. But Gepetto decided to punish Pinocchio for his bad behavior which made Pinocchio promise to be a good boy. He also promised Gepetto that he would take care of him.Geppetto decided to let go of his anger and create a new pair of legs for Pinocchio. But as soon as Pinocchio felt his new feet, he got off the table and started to skip and jump around. He was very happy to see his new legs. Poor Gepetto also made Pinocchio a uniform for his school and for Pinocchio’s school books, he sold his only woolen coat on a chilly winter day. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

On the first day of Pinocchio’s school, he promised Gepetto to be a good boy. On his way to school, he thought of learning arithmetic and earn a lot of money so that he could buy a new coat for his father, Gepetto. But while on his way to school, he heard a noise and started to follow it down the street where he found himself in a large square, full of people.In the square, a Puppet show was going on called as “The Great Puppet Theater”. Interested in the show, Pinocchio started to bargain for a dime to watch the show. He even decided to give away the new book that Gepetto has got for him by selling his only woolen coat. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Pinocchio went inside the ‘The Great Puppet Theater’. The performance was already going on. Harlequin and Punch were reciting on the stage and were threatening each other with sticks and blows. People were enjoying the spectacle and at the antics of the two puppets.Suddenly Harlequin stopped in the middle of the show, turned towards the crowd, and enquired about Pinocchio. All the puppets started shouting “Yes, it is Pinocchio. It is our brother Pinocchio”. Harlequin invited him on stage. Pinocchio was surprised at such a loving invitation by his brothers. He jumped and landed on the stage. Suddenly the Showman, known as Fire Eater, came out and decided to punish Pinocchio for disturbing his show by using his wooden legs to cook his meal. But on hearing about Pinocchio’s poor father Gepetto and seeing Pinocchio’s dedication and bravery to save his other puppet friends even at the expense of his own life, the showman decided to let him go and invited him back the next day to receive a prize. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Pinocchio went to meet the Showman, Fire-Eater the next day. Pinocchio told him about his father Geppetto and their poor financial condition. The Fire-Eater gave Pinocchio five gold coins to help them out a bit and asked him to take them straight to his father.But on his way back home, Pinocchio met a lame fox and a blind cat. He told them how rich he is with the five gold coins and how wisely we want to spend them. But the fox and cat started to give him bad advice. A blackbird perched on the fence along the road and advised Pinocchio to ignore the fox and cat but the bird was removed from the scene by the cat with a single jump.  The fox and the cat finally managed to trap Pinocchio to head to ‘The Land of The Owls’ with them and multiple his five gold coins into two thousand coins in a day by planting them in the ”Field of Miracles”. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Pinocchio, the lame fox, and the blind cat walked a long way towards the Field of Miracles which the fox and cat have said is located in The Land of The Owls. Finally, they stopped at the Inn of the Red Craw-Fish for some rest in the evening. They had a delicious supper and went to their respective rooms for a nap.After a while, the innkeeper came to wake Pinocchio up and informed him that his friends have already left. Pinocchio quickly gave him a gold join for the supper & stay and left alone for the Field of Miracles. He was passing through a dense dark forest when a Cricket warned him of thieves and dangers that lay ahead.  Just then, out of the forest came two cloaked figures. Both wore a mask and one of them was taller. They asked Pinocchio to part with his gold coins and threatened to kill him. Pinocchio escaped by biting off the hand of the smaller one and hid the gold coins in his teeth. He tried to run away from the thieves and reached a cottage. There he asked the girl with beautiful blue hair to help him out. But before anything could be done, the two thieves caught hold of Pinocchio. But when they were unable to make him part with his coins, they decided to hang him from a tree for the night and left. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The girl with the beautiful blue hair was actually a fairy and she used her magic to rescue Pinocchio from the tree. She asked a large falcon to brought him from the tree and into her cottage. The fairy brought Pinocchio some bitter medicines to help him get better and sat down beside him to hear his story. He then told her everything about the Fire-Eater, thieves, and the gold coins.When the fairy asked him about the coins, Pinocchio thought that she was also after her money. So he lied to her and suddenly his nose grew two inches longer. Whenever Pinocchio lied, his nose grew two inches longer. The fairy laughed at him and informed him that if he lies any more, he won’t be able to get out of the door. He ran towards the door to escape but his nose was too long that he could not reach the door handle. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The Fox and The Cat have told Pinocchio to wait for twenty minutes over there but he walked impatiently in the town to pass the time. When the time was over he went back to get his coins but saw nothing. He was shocked to see the empty field with no bushes or trees. Over there, he met a Parrot who mocked Pinocchio for being so silly and falling into this trap. The Parrot informed him that the fox & the cat had come back as soon as he left, dug out coins from the hole, and escaped.Pinocchio immediately ran to the city and went straight to the courthouse to report the robbery to the magistrate. But instead, he was put in prison for being so stupid and lazy. He spent the next four months in prison until he was freed along with all other prisoners on a festive occasion. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Freed from prison, Pinocchio realized all the mistakes he had made till then. So he sets out to return to his father and his blue-haired fairy sister. On the way, he met a terrible monster, a green snake, who was blocking the way. Pinocchio was scared to see the snake so he decided to wait in the hope that it will move out of its way, leaving the road clear. But the snake did not move and hours passed by. Pinnochio stood there wondering if it was dead. As he raised one leg to move over the snake, the serpent shot up like a spring. Pinocchio fell head over heels backward. He fell so awkwardly, that his head stuck in the mud with his legs straight up in the air. It was so funny to watch that the serpent laughed so hard, it lost its breath and fell flat on the road.With the serpent now dead, Pinocchio ran towards the fairy’s house as hard as he could. When he started to feel hungry, he spotted a vineyard and decided to get some grapes from it but got caught in a vicious trap that was set there by the field farmer. A Glowworm came around and made Pinocchio realize that he was actually stealing the grapes. When the field farmer came around, he took Pinocchio to be a thief and put him into a doghouse at his yard. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

While staying in the doghouse as a watchdog, Pinocchio woke in the middle of the night when he heard some strange whispering sounds coming from the yard. He stuck his nose out of the doghouse and saw four small, hairy animals. They were the weasels. They offered a deal to Pinocchio for not making noise while they stole the chickens and in return he will be rewarded with one chicken for himself. It was the same deal that they had cut out with the previous guard dog.But Pinocchio made a loud bark as soon as they went in and helped the farmer to catch the weasels. Impressed, the farmer set Pinocchio free to return back to his home. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Pinocchio was looking for the fairy’s house but was not able to locate it. Finally, he reached the place where the house once stood but there he found a plaque stating, “Here once lived a child with blue hair who was abandoned by her brother Pinocchio” and he started to weep profusely.Just then a pigeon came and informed Pinocchio that he left Geppetto, his father, on the shore of a large sea three days ago. Geppetto was building a boat to cross the ocean to look for his son Pinocchio. The Pigeon took Pinocchio to the seashore where his father was supposed to be. Upon reaching there, Pinocchio spotted his father in the middle of the ocean in a small boat battling high waves. Suddenly Geppetto’s boat was struck by a huge wave and the boat sank. Pinocchio dived into the water and started swimming to save his father. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Pinocchio swam all night in search of his father but was unable to locate him. The next morning, he landed on an island in the middle of the sea and also met a Dolphin who informed Pinocchio that a terrible shark must have swallowed Geppetto in the last night’s storm. He again left to look for his father in fear.After walking for half an hour, he came to a small country called The Village of the Industrious Bees. He was very hungry, so either he had to work and earn some money or beg it from someone else. Lazy Pinocchio decided to ask for some money but he was not willing to do any hard work. A lady finally offered him some delicious cuisine only if Pinocchio carry two cans back to her home. As soon as they reached her home, she brought delicious food as she had promised Pinocchio. Later he realized that this woman was his sister – the fairy with blue hair. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The woman tried to maintain initially that she was not the fairy but seeing Pinocchio cry for too long, melted her heart and she finally admitted that she was indeed the little fairy with blue hair. Pinocchio felt very happy. Since the fairy has grown a lot while Pinocchio was away, enough to be his mother, he decided to call her his mother.The fairy asked Pinocchio to be a good boy. She defined good boys as the ones who are obedient, love studies and work, always tell the truth, goes to school happily but Pinocchio was the exact opposite, yet he promised the fairy to be a good boy. The fairy also warned him against laziness and asked him to be more hardworking. From the next day, Pinocchio started going to school as he had promised to his fairy mother. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

On the first day of his school, other students started making fun of him because he was a puppet. But when Pinocchio demanded everyone to respect him and give him space, it helped calm things down. And Pinocchio started to focus on his school diligently. But one day on his way to school, he met a group of seven of his schoolmates. They told Pinocchio that a big shark has shown up on the beach and they are all going to see it. Curious Pinocchio thought he might get to know something about his father from the big shark, so he decided to join them.Unfortunately, it was a trap set by the boys to make Pinocchio miss school. This led to a fight between Pinocchio and the boys. Eugene, one of the boys accidentally got hurt when other boys threw Pinocchio's book at him and lost his consciousness. All the other boys immediately ran away but Pinocchio bent down to help Eugene. Soon Gendearme arrived and in the misunderstanding, they arrested Pinocchio and took him along to the village. On their way, Pinocchio managed to escape and ran towards the sea. But gendarme set a trained dog, Alidoro, after him. Pinocchio jumped into the water and started swimming but soon realized Alidoro was also in the water and drowning. So he went back to save him and dropped him at the shore. Then Pinocchio started swimming again but was soon caught in a net of a green-eyed fisherman. The fisherman took Pinocchio to be a fancy fish and brought him to his cave to cook for dinner.   But soon enough, there was a loud bark, and Alidoro, the trained dog snatched Pinocchio from the fisherman and ran out of the cave.  Having been rescued, Pinocchio decided to go back to his fairy mother's house. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Pinocchio walked towards the fairy’s house and once he reached there, he pressed the doorbell. He waited for about an hours and finally, a snail looked down from the top window. Pinocchio asked the snail for help but the snail asked him to wait while it comes down to open the main door and shut the window at Pinocchio. After a while, Pinocchio lost his patience and gave a tremendous kick against the house door and stuck his foot there. The next morning, the snail got Pinocchio a silver tray with the bread of plaster, chicken cardboard, and four painted apricots. But Pinocchio was so exhausted that he fainted away. When he regained his consciousness, he found himself on a sofa with the fairy beside him. Pinocchio once again promised the fairy to be a good boy. He kept his promise for a year and in fact, he had the honor of being the first in the school, and his behavior, in general, was so satisfactory and praiseworthy that the Fairy was very much pleased. https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Pinocchio's joy knew no bounds when Fairy asked him to invite all his school friends for a grand breakfast at the Fairy's house. Everyone welcomed him except his friend, Candlewick who was probably the laziest of all his friends. Candlewick had now made plans to go to the Land of Toys, where all days are spent in play and amusement from morning till night. This place apparently had no schools and hence no one had to study. Pinocchio was once again under bad influence and was getting tempted to visit the Land of Toys.https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.
