Explore "Geppetto Names his Puppet Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Geppetto lived in a small ground-floor room that was only lighted from the staircase. The furniture could not have been simpler -- a rickety chair, a poor bed, and a broken-down table. At the end of the room there was a fireplace with a lighted fire; but the fire was painted, and by the fire was a painted saucepan that was boiling cheerfully and sending out a cloud of smoke that looked exactly like real smoke.
As soon as he reached home Geppetto took his tools and set to work to cut out and model his puppet.
