And how happy I am, now that I have become a real boy!  (Carlo Collodi Quotes) How it happened that Mastro Cherry, carpenter, found a piece of wood that wept and laughed like a child  (Carlo Collodi Quotes) A thousand woodpeckers flew in through the window and settled themselves on Pinocchio’s nose  (Carlo Collodi Quotes) Fancy the happiness of Pinocchio on finding himself free!

Then with my acquirements I will earn a great deal of money, and with the first money I have in my pocket I will immediately buy for my papa a beautiful new cloth coat. But what am I saying? Cloth, indeed! It shall be all made of gold and silver, and it shall have diamond buttons. That poor man really deserves it; for to buy me books and to have me taught he has remained in his shirt sleeves... And in this cold! It is only fathers who are capable of such sacrifices!  (Carlo Collodi Quotes) Would it be possible to find a more ungrateful boy, or one with less heart than I have!  (Carlo Collodi Quotes) What matters school? We can go to school tomorrow. Whether we have a lesson more or a lesson less, we shall always remain the same donkeys  (Carlo Collodi Quotes)
