Pinocchio: is a talking marionette carved out of wood by his master Geppetto, who always wanted him to be real boy. He is very mischievous, always getting into trouble and sometimes telling lies. But every time he tells a lie his nose grows longer. At the end of his adventures he has forty pennies which he has saved to go into town and buy a new suit. Pinocchio arrives back at Geppetto’s cottage having given the pennies to a snail! Geppetto is quite poorly, PINOCCHIO enters carrying an empty bag.

GEPPETTO: Pinocchio, your nose is growing longer and I know what that means!

PINOCCHIO: Oh, I’m so sorry …. (he puts the bag down) but I met a snail on my way into town who is really the ‘Fairy with the Turquoise Hair’, so I gave the snail all of my pennies as she asked, as she was so poorly, and I felt so sorry for her.

GEPPETTO: Oh, Pinocchio, Pinocchio, how many times have I told you not to be such a fool. Don’t you remember the cat and the sly old fox?

PINOCCHIO: Oh, I’m so sorry, I wish I was real, then I could understand, but I do remember the cat and the sly old fox stole all my gold coins from me. But they did tell me that if I planted them in the field of dreams, they would grow into a gold tree and we would be rich.
