Pinocchio

“When he found his puppet's name, then he started to work well, and immediately made his hair, then his forehead, then his eyes. Made his eyes, imagine his wonder when he realized that his eyes were moving and looking at him fixedly. Geppetto, seeing himself looked at by those two wooden eyes, was almost bad, and said with a resentful accent: - Wooden eyes, why are you looking at me? - No one answered. Then, after his eyes, he made his nose; but the nose, just made, began to grow: and grow, grow, grow, in a few minutes became a big nose that never ended. Poor Geppetto struggled to carve it out; but the more he cut it out and shortened it, the longer that impertinent nose became long. After his nose he made his mouth. The mouth was not yet done, which immediately began to laugh and mock him. - Stop laughing! Geppetto said in awe; but it was like saying to the wall. - Stop laughing, I repeat to you! He shouted threateningly. Then his mouth stopped laughing, but he stuck his tongue out. "
