12. Reading Comprehension Pinocchio ’s story * look for new words on slide 15 Inventor Gepetto, a lonely man who is a woodcarver, creates a wooden marionette called Pinocchio. He wishes Pinocchio to be a real boy. Unexpectedly a Blue Fairy grants him and she brings Pinocchio to life. The fairy assigns Jiminy Cricket to act as Pinocchio's "conscience" and keep him out of troubles. Jiminy is not successful in this endeavor and he spends most of his time trying to help Pinocchio who is in trouble: he joins a puppet show instead of going to school, he lies instead of telling the truth, and he travels to Pleasure Island instead of going straight home. Pinocchio loses his attention very easily and when he lies his nose becomes longer. But, when Pinocchio discovers that a whale has swallowed Gepetto, the puppet travels into the ocean and in an altruistic manner he risks his life to save his father. Pinocchio burns some wood into the whale stomach to escape from it. It sneezes and everybody can go out safely. Pinocchio claims that he deserves to be a real boy. The fairy rewards Pinocchio for his bravery. She makes him a true boy and with a conscience of his own, so that he can understand what is right from wrong. This story wants to tell the young readers that it is bad to tell lies and that we should follow our Parents.
