NARRATIVE TEXT

 

Long time ago🕰, there was a lonely puppet maker named Geppetto🧒. He had neither wife nor child🌍.

One day, Geppetto find an old beautiful wooden log. He brought it home and carved it to be a wooden puppet.

Inside his heart, Geppetto prayed and hoped that his puppet would be alive as his boy.

His praying was coming true. In the night while Geppetto was sleeping, a fairy came and gave a soul to the puppet. In the morning, Geppetto was shocked and also happy seeing his puppet alive. He named it Pinocchio.

Pinocchio was a naughty wooden boy. He liked to tell a lie. Even though, when he said a lie, his nose became longer than before.

His nose would be back in the normal size if he asked to the fairy and promised to be a good boy.

Unfortunately, he never did his promised and still liked to say a lie.

The fairy said that he would never be a real boy if he still did the same thing. The fairy also said that his lying would take him into a trouble. Pinocchio said yes but in fact he still did the same thing.

Complication

Geppetto wanted Pinocchio to be like the other boy.

He sent Pinocchio to school and bought him some books.

At the first day of the school, Pinocchio brought all of his books.

In the middle of the way to go to school, he saw there was a puppet show he was so curious to see. He forgot about the school and saw the puppet show.

He loved it and he wanted to meet the puppet master. The puppet master saw Pinocchio as a unique and alive puppet boy. So he caught Pinocchio and locked him in a caravan.

Pinocchio was so sad and afraid. He wished to be with his father, Geppetto. The good fairy came and set him free.

Pinocchio seemed not to be cured of that habit.

In the other day, he repeated his mistake. He should go to school but at the way to school he saw there was a trip to go to Fun Island. He sold his books to buy the ticket.

Finally, Pinocchio was in a trip to go to the Fun Island. But it was a fake trip; Pinocchio was kidnapped and made into a slave in an island.

Once again, Pinocchio regretted his attitude.

Resolution

He tried to run away from that island. He found a small boat and he began to sail. He did not know where to go.

In the middle of the sea, he saw his father Geppetto in a small boat looking for him. He was so happy seeing his father but unfortunately, there was a whale that suddenly appeared and ate both Pinocchio’s and Geppetto’s boat.

Inside the whale’s stomach, Pinocchio was crying.

He asked for apologize and he promised to his father to be a god boy and never repeat his mistakes.

They pray to God for their live. The good fairy came again and set them free.

After that event, Pinocchio became a good boy. The fairy changed him into a real human boy so that Pinocchio and Geppetto were so very happy.
