When Collodi sent the puppet story, he attached a letter: "I am sending you this childish story now, you can handle it as you wish! If it is published, pay me a certain amount of compensation, so that I have the motivation to continue writing." Collodi's childish story undoubtedly achieved an unexpected effect. It is called a masterpiece in children's literature. Since Pinocchio's birth over a hundred years ago, he has remained in people's hearts as that mischievous and willful little puppet. Geppetto carved a puppet out of wood, wanting to teach him to dance, swordplay, and somersaults, then take him on a world tour. But this little puppet named Pinocchio wanted to live freely, so he ran away from home. After leaving home, he was tired and hungry, and finally returned home. Pinocchio decided to go to school. But after attending school, he still did not change his bad habits and often caused trouble, making Geppetto very angry. He first joined the puppet troupe, then met two bad friends, the Cat and the Fox, and encountered the beautiful Blue-haired Fairy. The fairy promised him that if he listened and became a good child, she would turn him into a real child. Pinocchio promised to be a good child, but this journey involved many setbacks. He had no thoughts, no brains, and was easily deceived. Despite the many years that have passed, Pinocchio is still deeply loved by children around the world because he retains a touch of innocence. Through Pinocchio, children discover a world full of adventure and magic.
