Dear Boys and Girls,--Let us hope that none of you has been so
unfortunate as to have missed the pleasure of watching sometime or
other a puppet show. Probably Punch and Judy is the one you know best,
but there are many others with jolly little fellows who dance in and
out of all sorts of adventures. So you can imagine Pinocchio, the hero
of this book, as one of those lively puppets. And, in case you have
never read the earlier book about him, you will want to know something
of what happened to him before you meet him in these pages.
One day a poor carpenter, called Master Cherry, began to cut up a
piece of wood to make a table-leg of it when, to his utmost amazement,
the piece of wood cried out, "Do not strike me so hard!" The
frightened carpenter stopped for a moment, and when he began again and
struck the wood a blow with his ax the voice cried out once more,
"Oh, oh! you have hurt me so!" The carpenter was now so terrified that
he was only too glad to turn the piece of wood over to a neighbor,
Papa Geppetto, who cut it up into the shape of a boy puppet, painted
it, and named it Pinocchio--which means "a piece of pinewood." As soon
as he had finished making him, Pinocchio grabbed the old man's wig off
his head and started in to play tricks. Papa Geppetto then taught the
puppet to walk, and when naughty Pinocchio discovered he could use his
legs, he ran away. Then began all kinds of adventures, and Pinocchio
was sometimes naughty and selfish, and sometimes kind and considerate,
but always funny and jolly.
In this new book Pinocchio's heart has grown through love and
consideration for others, so that he becomes a real boy and takes part
in the war to help his beautiful country, Italy.
