The old toy maker called
some woodpeckers
over from a nearby tree.
They whittled down
Pinocchio’s nose. It hurt
a lot, but he accepted his
punishment.
When the birds finished
his nose, they kept
pecking away until they
revealed a real boy.
Pinocchio was so happy!
With tears in his eyes, he
thanked the woodpeckers
and jumped up to hug
Geppetto.
