Adventures of Pinocchio

Taryn

‘As for me, and I tell you this in confidence, I haven’t the slightest desire to study, because I have more fun chasing after butterflies and climbing trees to take the baby birds from their nests.’

It is impossible to describe the puppet’s joy; you will just have to imagine it for yourself. 

‘My boy, never trust those who promise to make you rich between lunch and supper.’ ~ Talking Cricket 

‘When a corpse weeps, it’s a sign that he is beginning to recover.’ ~ Crow

‘Everything that’s lost in this wood always gets found.’ ~ Fairy

…and a sweet and gentle voice, like that of a cat winning over the tenderhearted mistress of the house. 

‘It’s not me that got myself swallowed; it’s him that swallowed me!’ ~ Pinocchio
