Who wrote Pinocchio? A children's fairy tale or a talented hoax. Pinocchio - the wooden man who actually was. In which city did Pinocchio live?

Pinocchio and Pinocchio are fairy-tale literary characters who can be called twin brothers, despite the fact that they were born in different time and in different countries Oh. Their similarity is manifested not only in appearance, but also in the ability to get into incredible stories, get away with it under any set of circumstances and not lose their cheerful disposition, generously seasoned with boyish mischief. Of course, you can tell these naughty creatures apart from each other if you carefully read the books describing their adventures.

Comparison

Pinocchio- a animated wooden doll, the hero of A. Tolstoy’s fairy tale “The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio.” The prototype for it was another fairy-tale hero - Pinocchio, about whom readers learned from the pages of a children's book by K. Collodi about the adventures of a wooden man.

Pinocchio- a character from the fairy tale “Pinocchio, or the Adventures of the Wooden Doll”, for whom the Italians, as a sign of universal love, erected a monument with the inscription: “To the immortal Pinocchio - grateful readers aged from four to seventy years.”

About the characters

K. Collodi created his hero in the form of a doll carved from a cherry log, but endowed him with the living features of a restless child with a full range of childhood tendencies towards mischief and lack of a sense of danger. Pinocchio turned out to be so charming that the reader easily forgives his stupidity and even selfishness, because spontaneity and resourcefulness are more important, thanks to which he copes with any difficulties and unforeseen situations.

By the time of publication in Russian, the fairy tale had gone through 480 editions. In 1906, the aspiring writer A. Tolstoy was so carried away by this wonderful work that later, having gained creative experience and literary fame, he created his own version of the adventures of the wooden man, who received the name Pinocchio.

The plot of the fairy tale about the golden key largely repeats the plan of K. Collodi. Pinocchio, like Pinocchio, runs away from home and ends up in a puppet theater instead of school. Pinocchio enjoys the patronage of a young fairy - the Girl with Azure Hair. Malvina becomes Pinocchio's friend, who diligently educates the stubborn man and tries to teach him the wisdom of life. Both Pinocchio and Pinocchio fall prey to the cunning cat and fox, naively waiting for a miracle tree to grow from coins buried in the ground.

But still, in the adventures of Pinocchio, much more difficulties arise. He ends up on an island of hardworking bees; finds himself in the service of a peasant and, like a guard dog, guards his chicken coop; turns into a donkey, from whose skin they are going to make a drum. Pinocchio does not pass such tests, but he meets Tortila the turtle and learns the secret of the golden key. He has to cope with the greed of Duremar, escape from the persecution of Karabas, protect Malvina and Pierrot, and rescue the dolls from trouble.

At the end of the tale, Pinocchio turns into a boy. No such transformation occurs with Pinocchio, although it is implied that, having returned to Papa Carlo, he also became an ordinary child.

They did not erect a monument to Pinocchio in Italy, but the interest and touching feelings of our readers for this fairy-tale hero are no less than those that Italian readers express to their literary favorite.

PINOCCHIO

PINOCCHIO (Italian Pinocchio) is the hero of the fairy tale by C. Lorenzini (pseudonym - Collodi) “The Adventures of Pinocchio” (1880). This book also has a second title - “The Story of a Wooden Man”. And indeed, its hero is a mischievous wooden puppet, which became the prototype of our Pinocchio.

Even before his birth, being an ordinary-looking log, P. managed to cause a lot of trouble to those who tried to deal with him. He frightened the carpenter, Master Antonio, so much that the usually red tip of his nose turned dark blue and his face became distorted. He then quarreled Antonio with his colleague and friend Geppetto. It's even worse. Geppetto had not yet had time to cut out the head from the log he received as a gift from Antonio, and P. had already begun to make mocking faces and stick out his tongue.

Having barely finished making the little man's legs, Geppetto immediately received a kick in the nose, and the wooden mischief jumped out into the street and ran away from his creator, jumping no worse than a hare. Then P. started an argument with the old cricket, who was trying to reason with the self-confident, obnoxious little man, but the argument ended very badly - P. simply killed the poor fellow by throwing a wooden hammer at him.

P. is designed in such a way that all his good intentions end in a completely opposite result. Here he is, touched by the fact that Geppetto sold his only jacket to buy an ABC book, dreams of how he will study, then find a job, earn a lot of money and buy his father a jacket, a new one, “entirely made of gold and silver,” but, As soon as he hears about the puppet theater performance, he forgets about his plans and exchanges his ABC book for a ticket.

Having received five gold pieces from the owner of the puppet theater, P., however, again remembers his father (in general, he is sometimes both kind and brave - for example, when he stands up for Harlequin, whom the theater owner wants to throw into the fire), but immediately falls into networks of the Fox and the Cat, believing their tales about the Magic Field, where five gold pieces will instantly turn into two thousand five hundred. Whenever P. shows stupidity, stubbornness or arrogance, some kind of trouble happens to him. This is how life tries to teach the obnoxious boy, but he is very difficult to teach and has difficulty learning lessons from what is happening. Finding himself in yet another trouble, P. invariably remembers his poor father and the benefits that staying under his roof promises. But with the same constancy P. forgets about his repentance and embarks on new adventures. The good fairy promised P. that he would become a man if he deserved it. And you can earn it only by becoming “": study hard, stop telling lies. But it is easy to understand that he is still very far from becoming a human. He was almost sent to prison, almost fried in a frying pan along with the fish. The worst thing happened to him when he succumbed to the persuasion of his friend Wick and went with him to the Land of Entertainment. Once there, P. turned into a donkey.

P. has many shortcomings, but he has a kind heart, and he is not short of enterprise. Having fallen into the belly of a huge shark, he finds his adored father there and saves him from imprisonment in the shark's belly. To get a glass of milk for his father, he even agrees to turn the gardener’s gate. And the good fairy, having learned that she is sick, without the slightest regret gives the money she saved for a new suit. Of course, these were already the actions of a real person. P. turned into “a smart, handsome boy with brown hair and blue eyes, with a cheerful, joyful face.”

In the Italian city of Collodi, the birthplace of the mother of the writer Carlo Collodi, there is a monument to Pinocchio - one of the few monuments to literary heroes in the world.

Plot

Day 1

The robbers grab Pinocchio and try to kill him. Because Pinocchio is made from the finest hard wood, their knives break. Then they hang him on an oak tree and leave, promising to return tomorrow morning: Pinocchio will already be dead, and his mouth will be wide open.

The narrative originally ended here, but Collodi then continued the story at the request of Ferdinando Martini.

The next morning, seeing Pinocchio hanging on a tree, the Girl with Azure Hair (actually a good Fairy who has lived here for more than 1000 years) takes pity on him. First she sends Falcon to take Pinocchio out of the noose, and then she sends her faithful poodle Medoro to bring Pinocchio. A medical council of Raven, Owl and Talking Cricket gathers at the bedside of the supposedly dying Pinocchio.

Despite the fact that Pinocchio killed the Cricket with a hammer, the latter turns out to be no longer a shadow, as before, but alive. Raven and Owl talk scholastically about whether the patient is dead or alive, and Talking Cricket bluntly states that Pinocchio is a “sleazy scoundrel,” “a swindler, a slacker, a tramp,” and “a naughty boy who will drive his poor destitute father into the coffin.” Hearing these words, Pinocchio comes to his senses and cries, and Raven and Owl agree that the patient is alive.

The fairy gives Pinocchio a bitter medicine. He refuses to drink it, demanding a piece of sugar for himself. But, having received sugar, Pinocchio still does not want to drink the medicine. Then four black undertaker rabbits come with a small coffin for Pinocchio and explain to him that in a few minutes he will die because he refused to take the medicine. Hearing this, the frightened Pinocchio drinks the medicine and recovers, and the undertakers leave.

At the Fairy's request, Pinocchio tells her about his misadventures. When asked about the coins, he lies that he lost them somewhere in the forest, and upon learning that the Fairy can easily find everything lost in her forest, he clarifies that he, they say, accidentally swallowed them along with the medicine. In fact, they are in his pocket. With every lie, Pinocchio's nose noticeably lengthens. The fairy laughs at him, explaining it this way:

My dear boy, people will recognize a lie right away. Strictly speaking, there are two lies: one has short legs, the other has a long nose. Your lies have a long nose.

Original text(Italian)

Le bugie, ragazzo mio, si riconoscono subito, perchè ve ne sono di due specie: vi sono le bugie che hanno le gambe corte, e le bugie che hanno il naso lungo: la tua per l'appunto è di quelle che hanno il naso lungo.

Pinocchio burns with shame, but cannot even run from the room, because his nose now does not fit through the door. To punish Pinocchio for lying, the Fairy ignores his cries and groans for a good half hour - just like Geppetto, who, after returning from the police station for half a day, did not pay attention to Pinocchio's requests to give him new legs. Then she summons a thousand woodpeckers, who peck at his nose for several minutes, after which it returns to its previous shape.

The fairy invites Pinocchio to live in her house. At the same time, she will be his sister, and he will be her brother. She will also invite his father there. Pinocchio happily agrees and goes out to meet him, but in the forest he again meets the Fox and the Cat. They again persuade him to go with them to the Magic Field and bring him to the city of Fool's Trap. There he buries the coins and pours water on them. The Cat and the Fox tell him to return for the harvest in 20 minutes, say goodbye and leave.

Returning, Pinocchio finds the Parrot, who laughs loudly at him. When asked about the reasons for laughter, Parrot explains to him that “to earn an honest living, you need to work with your own hands and think with your own head.” It turns out that during his absence, the Fox and the Cat dug up the coins and disappeared in an unknown direction. Deceived Pinocchio turns to court for protection. The judge, an old monkey, listens to him kindly and pronounces the following verdict:

Four gold coins were stolen from the poor guy. Therefore, tie him up and immediately put him in prison.

Original text (Italian)

Quel povero diavolo è stato derubato di quattro monete d’oro: pigliatelo dunque e mettetelo subito in prigione.

Four months in prison

Pinocchio is in prison for four months. At the end of this period, in honor of the victory of the king of Bolvania over neighboring country declare an amnesty for all criminals. However, the prison guard does not want to release Pinocchio, since, as far as he knows, he has not committed any crime and, therefore, is not eligible for amnesty. Then Pinocchio tells the caretaker that he is also a criminal. He is released from prison with an apology.

First day after prison

Immediately after his release, Pinocchio runs straight to the Fairy, deeply repenting of his behavior and deciding to behave exemplary from now on. On the way he meets the Snake. For several hours she lies on the road, not letting him pass and not responding to requests to give way to him. Then the Snake pretends to be dead, and when Pinocchio wants to step over it, it comes to life and rushes at him. Pinocchio jumps back in horror and falls into the roadside mud. Seeing this spectacle, the Snake laughs so much that its chest vein bursts and dies for real.

Pinocchio moves on. Tormented by hunger, he picks two grapes in a nearby vineyard and immediately falls into a trap set by the owner for martens. Firefly explains to Pinocchio that hunger is not a reason to take someone else's property. This time Pinocchio completely agrees with him, but a peasant comes (the vineyard belongs to him) and accuses Pinocchio of stealing chickens from his hen house:

He who steals other people's grapes also steals other people's chickens.

Original text (Italian)

Chi ruba l'uva è capacissimo di rubare anche che i polli.

Since the peasant’s guard dog has died, he forces Pinocchio to work as a watchman: he puts him on a chain, allows him to hide from the rain in a kennel and orders him to bark when thieves appear.

Second day after prison

At midnight, four martens come and offer Pinocchio a deal: he will not bark, and in return the martens will give him one of the stolen chickens. They had the same agreement with the late dog Melampo. Pinocchio agrees for the sake of appearances, and when the martens sneak into the chicken coop, he blocks the door with stones and begins to bark. The peasant runs out with a gun, and Pinocchio tells him everything, keeping silent only about the martens’ agreement with Melampo, so as not to speak ill of the dead. The peasant promises to sell the caught martens to the local innkeeper so that he can make a roast out of them, and Pinocchio praises him for his honesty and sets him free.

Pinocchio runs to where the Fairy's house was, but he is no longer there. Instead there is a marble plaque with the inscription “ Here is buried the Girl with the Azure Hair, who died in misery because she was abandoned by her little brother Pinocchio." After reading this tombstone, Pinocchio sobs all night long.

Third day after prison

IN last moment The Shark swallows Pinocchio and Geppetto, but they go through the same path again and jump out of the Shark's mouth. Pinocchio puts Geppetto, who cannot swim, on his back and swims with him to the shore. Shortly before the shore, he becomes exhausted, but they are saved by Tuna, who also escaped.

Second day after the circus

Pinocchio and Geppetto go ashore and meet the Cat and the Fox, begging for alms. The cat, due to the fact that he was pretending to be blind all the time, really became blind, and the Fox grew old, shabby and became so poor that she was forced to sell her own tail to one merchant (he made a broom from the fox’s tail). They claim that they are now truly poor. Pinocchio responds by declaring that they got what they deserved, and together with his father he calmly moves on, without giving them anything.

Pinocchio and Geppetto knock on a thatched hut with a tiled roof, asking for a place to stay for the night. The Talking Cricket lives there. He reveals that he received the hut as a gift from the Fairy and lets Pinocchio and Geppetto in. Pinocchio goes to the gardener Janjo to ask him for a glass of milk for his father. He receives milk in exchange for hard work (a glass of milk costs 1 soldi, but Pinocchio didn't even have 1 centesimo): pulling a hundred buckets of water from a well. In Djangio, Pinocchio meets a donkey dying from overwork and hunger. In the donkey's dialect, he tells him that he is the Wick, after which he dies.

Next five months

Pinocchio works a lot: every day he pulls out a hundred buckets of water in exchange for a glass of milk for his sick father and weaves baskets from reeds. He makes an elegant chair on wheels for Geppetto, and in the evenings he practices reading and writing. He manages to save forty soldi for his suit. On his way to the market, Pinocchio meets the Snail. She explains that the Fairy was hospitalized. Then Pinocchio gives the Snail all his money for the Fairy and offers to come in two days so that he can give him a couple more soldi.

He decides to work more, goes to bed later, and weaves twice as many baskets as usual. In a dream, Pinocchio sees the Fairy, who praises him for his kind heart and forgives all his tricks. When he wakes up, he turns out to be not a Wooden Man, but a real boy. Next to the bed, Pinocchio finds a brand new suit, and in the pocket of the suit there is a brand new ivory wallet, on which is written: “ The fairy with azure hair returns forty soldi to her sweet Pinocchio and thanks him for his kind heart" It turns out that the above-mentioned forty soldi turned into the same number of sequins.

Instead of a thatched hut there is a new, bright room, and Geppetto is healthy and cheerful. He explains to Pinocchio that “bad children, becoming good children, acquire the ability to make everything around them new and beautiful.”

Where did the old wooden Pinocchio go?
“Here he stands,” answered Geppetto.
And he pointed to a large wooden doll - a wooden man leaning against a chair. His head was twisted to the side, his arms hung limply, and his crossed legs were bent so strongly that it was impossible to understand how he could even stay upright.

Original text (Italian). [ ]

  • In the story of Pinocchio there is no golden key and Tortila the turtle, no dreams of theater and jackets for Papa Carlo.
  • Pinocchio does not change his character and appearance until the end of the book’s plot, and in every possible way resists all attempts to re-educate him by Papa Carlo and Malvina. He remains a cheerful and carefree doll. Pinocchio heeds constant re-education and at the end of the book becomes a well-mannered boy, thereby leaving the image of a doll.
  • Pinocchio is open to the world and kind. He sincerely tries to help everyone, believes people, makes real friends and eventually comes to his dream. And Pinocchio improves himself, goes through terrible trials and ends up in the Land of Entertainment (just like in Nikolai Nosov’s novel “Dunno on the Moon” Dunno and Kozlik find themselves on the Island of Fools; Pinocchio was luckier - he only lost 5 gold on the Field of Miracles ).
  • Karabas-Barabas in Tolstoy is a character similar to the puppeteer Mangiafoko in Collodi. But if for Collodi this is an episodic and positive character, then for Tolstoy Karabas-Barabas, on the contrary, is negative and acts throughout the entire narrative.
  • Unlike Pinocchio, Pinocchio's long nose lengthens even more when he lies.
Did you know that in a fairy-tale country, where all the heroes of fairy tales live, there are two “twin brothers” - two wooden boys Pinocchio and Pinocchio?

The stories of Pinocchio and Pinocchio begin in the same way. Both wooden men were carved by an old master from a wonderful talking log. After that...

No, we won’t tell you their stories. You'd better read them yourself. Moreover, they end completely differently. We will help you find out how they differ.

So, in a fairyland there live two twin brothers - Pinocchio And Pinocchio, and the eldest of these "brothers" - Pinocchio. The fact is that the fairy tale about him called "The Story of a Puppet" P appeared in Italy in 1881. Pinocchio was invented by an Italian storyteller Carlo Collodi , whose real name, however, was completely different - Carlo Lorenzini . A newspaper editor suggested the writer write a children's book. Carlo was so captivated by the idea that the idea matured almost instantly, and he composed the story in one night, and in the morning he sent the manuscript to the editor. July 7, 1881 the first story from the life of Pinocchio appeared. Published from issue to issue in the weekly "Children's newspaper" exciting adventures of Pinocchio. The author of the fairy tale has long wanted to complete the story of his hero, but little readers demanded: "More more!"

And only in 1883 Collodi finally finished his tale. In the same year, the Florentine publisher Felice Paggi collected all the chapters and published a book a separate book. It was called like this - "Pinocchio. The Story of a Puppet" . And the writer’s compatriot artist drew the wooden man Enrico Mazanti . Illustrations for the fairy tale created by Mazanti And Magny , are considered classics, and they dictated the image of a boy cut out of a log for many years.

Many years have passed since then. Children all over the world fell in love with Pinocchio. In many countries they have read and continue to read this fairy tale, enjoying, grieving and sympathizing with this wonderful hero. Among the readers of "The Adventures of Pinocchio" was a Russian writer Alexey Tolstoy , who decided to retell the book by Carlo Collodi in his own way.

And so a fairy tale was born - "Golden Key" , and at the same time Buratino himself is a restless and terribly curious boy.

A fairy tale by A. Tolstoy "The Golden Key, or The Adventures of Pinocchio" was first published in 1935 on the pages of the newspaper "Pioneer Truth" , and it was published as a separate book in 1936 .

The stories of Pinocchio and Pinocchio begin in the same way. Both wooden men were carved by an old master from a wonderful talking log. After that...

No, we won’t tell you their stories. You'd better read them yourself. Moreover, they end completely differently. We will help you find out how they differ.

Pinocchio and Pinocchio

L. Vladimirsky This is how he talked about working on illustrations for the book “The Golden Key”: “When I just started working on the book, Buratino asked me:

- Artist, draw me a red jacket!

“But the book says that yours is brown,” I objected.

- And I want it brighter! - Buratino insisted. - Do you feel sorry for the paint?

“Okay,” I agreed.

- And a cap! Red too! - Buratino was happy.

- And I won’t hang out with you! - Pinocchio pouted.

And I decided to please both. I drew a white cap, as the author wanted, and, to please Pinocchio, put red stripes on it. And now the wooden man has been flaunting this outfit for fifty years, everywhere, in other books, in movies, in the theater, and on bottles of lemonade...”

"Kolobok", September, 1986

Of course, Pinocchio is a mischief maker,
And he is not the first student at school,
And his nose is a little big,
But this is such nonsense.

If trouble happens to his friends -
He immediately went there to help.
He gets into a fight for a friend - and then
Ready to endure any bruises

Chorus:
Through mountains and valleys
To children from different countries
Here comes Pinocchio,
Pinocchio, Pinocchio -
Wooden boy.

Pinocchio was deceived more than once,
But still he cannot live without mischief.
And the formidable bearded Karabas
Buratino cannot win.

Pinocchio is a bully and an eccentric.
Can't stand any kind of troublemakers.
But the golden key is for nothing
Ready good people give.

Poems about Pinocchio

Funny Pinocchio

I'm in fairy tales
I found friends.
In protected forests
I walked with them.
And the sun was shining above us,
We have more fun living with friends.
And here from the log
A hero is born.
Although the nose is like an antenna,
But with a kind soul.
Remember this whole name:
Cheerful, funny Pinocchio.
Funny Pinocchio,
Baby dear,
I won't leave you
I'll be with you.
Pierrot, Artemon and Malvina -
Everyone loves you Pinocchio.
To spite Karabas
We'll open the door.
To a wonderful fairy tale
With a golden key,
Tortilla Turtle Key,
So that in fairy tales good will win.

Wise song Pinocchio

Only the boy will have time to be born -
A cricket chirps above my soul.
Only the boy decided to fall in love -
The bell calls for class.

Is this business, business, business -
Don't you dare do anything without science?
I’ll learn three words: “kreks, pex, fex”,
And run skipping to the Field of Miracles!

Only the boy sat down to make jam,
I just started drinking some sweet tea,
There is a poem about Azor here
They force you to cram by rote!

Is this business, business, business -
Don't you dare do anything without studying?
As if I don't know a better verse
About four soldi and five gold ones!

Only a boy is ready for adventure -
Foxes and Cats are driven away from him.
But if I take up studying,
Then the Country of Fools will disappear!

Is this the case? Business, business!
Is this the case? Business, business!
Is this the case? Business, business...

Song of the Donkey-Pinocchio

Dedicated to Vasily Shishkin

Eeyore,
Yaya poor gray donkey,
And I was a wooden tomboy.
I lied, played pranks,
Didn't listen to adults at all
For this I am punished rightly.

Eeyore,
I'm the same owner
Made me dance, you fat brute!
I became lame
And there is no hope in life:
They want to put me on the drum.

Why didn't I go to school?
And so I got into trouble.

Eeyore,
I want to come to my senses.
When I stand on the seashore.
Alas, an ass
I'm destined to stay
And I will have to die as a donkey.

Aaaaaaah!

Answer: Pinocchio

And they help to cope with difficulties.

But European children are familiar with the original source, which was invented by the Italian Carlo Collodi. His tale about the adventurer Pinocchio is told in almost every home. The studio even put this character, whose nose grows when he lies, into a cartoon released in 1940.

History of creation

Carlo Collodi was the first to invent a wooden boy. Alexey Tolstoy did not hide this fact and called Buratino’s father (who was born after the literary adaptation of the original work) Carlo’s dad. True, the real Carlo did not work as an organ grinder, but was a journalist and writer. The Italian was a conscientious reporter and tried to expose politics in his articles. He also advocated the unification of Italy and presented satirical and journalistic materials to the public.


It is noteworthy that Carlo wrote a children's fairy tale by accident. He did not plan to stand on a par with the Brothers Grimm, but one day a newspaper editor advised his subordinate to get rid of sad thoughts and come up with an adventure story.

“I am sending you this baby talk. Do with him as you please; but if you print, pay me better so that I will have the desire to continue this babble.”

Thus, on July 7, 1881, readers saw a novel-feuilleton about a naughty boy who was whittled from a magic log by Master Gepetto on his own head. In 1883, this story was published as a separate edition: a book describing the hero Pinocchio became popular all over the world and was translated into 87 languages.

It is noteworthy that the Russian media are circulating information that the wooden puppet had a real prototype. Whether this is true or fiction, one can only guess, because journalists do not cite verified sources.


The reader learns from the Internet and newspapers that the prototype of the long-legged boy was a certain Pinocchio Sanchez, who lived in 1790-1834. Allegedly, this man was a dwarf and served in the army for a third of his life. Unfortunately, Sanchez was the victim of an accident.

The fact is that during training in the mountains, he rolled off a cliff, as a result of which he broke both legs and shattered his nose. The man survived, but his legs were amputated, and instead of his nose, doctors inserted a wooden partition. Master Carlo made prosthetics for the unfortunate man. To earn money, Pinocchio performed in the circus until the end of his days and died after performing one of his tricks unsuccessfully.

Biography and plot

The biography of Pinocchio is familiar to almost every child, if not from a book, then from a Disney cartoon. The tale begins with the fact that an old carpenter nicknamed Master Cherry, who cannot imagine life without strong drinks, falls into the hands of a log. To prevent the piece of wood from lying idle, Antonio decides to make a table leg out of it.


But as soon as the master begins work, the log begins to complain of pain and tickling. The astonished Cherry faints. And at this time, a colleague nicknamed Corn Cake comes to him, expressing a desire to create a puppet boy who can dance and somersault in the air.

Antonio gave his friend a log that almost drove him crazy. However, this piece of wood becomes a bone of contention because he starts calling Gepetto Scone and playing pranks. Because of this, old people fight, and then make up again. Geppetto brings his gift home and decides to name the doll Pinocchio, which means "pine nut" in Tuscan dialect.


Not to say that the planed boy turned out to be pretty: Gepetto gave the doll a long nose and forgot to make the ears. When Pinocchio was almost ready, he immediately began to misbehave, for example, he pulled off his “father’s” wig and ran out into the street. Fortunately, the puppet was caught by a policeman. Corn Flatbread took the tomboy by the collar and led him home, pouring out threats, but Pinocchio lay down on the ground and refused to go. Passers-by considered the carpenter's behavior too cruel, so Geppetto was arrested by the police.

Pinocchio, left to his own devices, returns to the house, from where he kicks out the Talking Cricket, who has lived in the master's room for a century. Before leaving, Cricket presents Pinocchio with the main moral, which is that you need to take care of your parents. Also, the small insect advises the puppet to study or go to work, but the doll says that it wants to live idle and wander.


Pinocchio was not satisfied with the answers of his new interlocutor, so he threw a wooden hammer at him. The wooden doll realizes that Cricket was right. Pinocchio is tormented by hunger, so he goes to the nearest village to find food, but he is haunted by failures and defeats.

When Gepetto returns home, he punishes the boy for his disrespectful behavior and then makes him new wooden legs (Pinocchio accidentally put them in a brazier of hot coals before going to bed). The doll also receives clothes cut out of paper and a cap made of bread crumb. Corncake sells his old jacket to buy his son an ABC book, but the boy skips school and attends the musical theater.


Then real adventures begin in Pinocchio's life: he meets other heroes of the work, with the help of Mangiafoco he almost ends up in a fire, meets the Cat and the Fox, ends up in prison, meets a fairy and much more.

Ultimately, the puppet, which is made of pine wood, has a cherished desire: he wants to grow up and become a real boy. The good fairy explains to the hero that his wish will come true if Pinocchio behaves well and studies diligently, works and speaks only the truth. Also main character visited the Land of Entertainment (analogous to the Land of Fools) and the Circus, and at the end of the fairy tale his dream finally came true.

For example, in Collodi, the owner of the theater is a man with a kind heart, who also helps Pinocchio. And in the Russian interpretation, Karabas-Barabas is a usurper and antagonist. In addition, in Carlo's fairy tale, the puppet does not dream of buying a jacket for dad, and also does not meet.
