Once upon a time, there was a toymaker named Geppetto. He made all kinds of beautiful toys for children to play with. However, he was very sad, because he wanted a child of his own. He even carved a wooden puppet and named it Pinocchio, pretending it was his son. One night, he saw a wishing star in the sky, and wished for a real child to take care of and love. When he went to bed, the wishing star came into his toy shop... for his wish had reached the Blue Fairy, and she decided to grant him that wish!
