The Adventures of Pinocchio

by C. Collodi

[Pseudonym of Carlo Lorenzini]

CHAPTER 1

How it happened that Mastro Cherry, carpenter,

found a piece of wood that wept and laughed like a child

Centuries ago there lived--

"A king!" my little readers will say immediately.

No, children, you are mistaken. Once upon a time

there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece

of wood. Far from it. Just a common block of firewood,

one of those thick, solid logs that are put on the fire in

winter to make cold rooms cozy and warm.

I do not know how this really happened, yet the fact

remains that one fine day this piece of wood found itself

in the shop of an old carpenter. His real name was

Mastro Antonio, but everyone called him Mastro Cherry,

for the tip of his nose was so round and red and shiny

that it looked like a ripe cherry.

As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry

was filled with joy. Rubbing his hands together happily,

he mumbled half to himself:

"This has come in the nick of time. I shall use it to

make the leg of a table."

He grasped the hatchet quickly to peel off the bark and

shape the wood. But as he was about to give it the first

blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a

wee, little voice say in a beseeching tone: "Please be careful!

Do not hit me so hard!"

What a look of surprise shone on Mastro Cherry's

face! His funny face became still funnier.

He turned frightened eyes about the room to find out

where that wee, little voice had come from and he saw

no one! He looked under the bench--no one! He peeped

inside the closet--no one! He searched among the shavings--

no one! He opened the door to look up and down

the street--and still no one!

"Oh, I see!" he then said, laughing and scratching his Wig.

"It can easily be seen that I only thought I heard the tiny

voice say the words! Well, well--to work once more."
