The appearance of Pinocchio with Pope Carlo, the advice of a talking cricket
Once, a carpenter Giuseppe found a talking log that started to scream when he was being pinched. Giuseppe got scared and presented it to the organ-grinder Carlo, with whom he had been friends for a long time. Carlo lived in a small closet so poorly that even his hearth was not real, but painted on a piece of an old canvas. The organ grinder carved a wooden doll with a very long nose from logs. She came to life and became a boy whom Carlo called Pinocchio. The wooden man was mischievous, and the talking cricket advised him to take up his mind, obey Papa Carlo, go to school. Papa Carlo, despite pranks and leprosy, fell in love with Pinocchio and decided to bring up as a native. He sold his warm jacket to buy a little ABC for his little son, made a jacket and a cap with a brush from colored paper so that he could go to school.
Puppet theater and acquaintance with Karabas Barabas
Pinocchio on the way to school saw the poster of the Puppet Theater: "A girl with blue hair, or Thirty-three head-slaps." The boy forgot the advice of a talking cricket and decided not to go to school. He sold his beautiful new alphabet with pictures and for all the proceeds he bought a ticket to the show. The plot was based on the back of the head, which Harlequin very often gave Pierrot. During the performance, the puppet artists recognized Pinocchio and the commotion began, as a result of which the performance was disrupted. The terrible and cruel Karabas Barabas, the director of the theater, the author and director of the plays, the master of all the puppets playing on stage, was very angry. He even wanted to burn a wooden boy for breaking the order and disrupting the performance. But during the conversation, Pinocchio accidentally spoke about the closet under the stairs with a painted hearth in which Papa Carlo lived. Suddenly, Karabas Barabas calmed down and even gave Pinocchio five gold coins with one condition - not to leave this closet.
Meeting with the fox Alice and the cat Basilio
On the way home, Pinocchio met the fox Alice and the cat Basilio. Having learned about the coins, these crooks suggested that the boy go to the Land of Fools. They said that if you bury coins on the Field of Miracles in the evening, then in the morning a huge money tree will grow from them.
Pinocchio really wanted to get rich quick, and he agreed to go with them. On the way, Pinocchio got lost and was left alone, but at night in the forest he was attacked by terrible robbers resembling a cat and a fox. He hid the coins in his mouth so that they would not be taken away, and the robbers hung the boy upside down on a tree branch so that he dropped the coins and left him.
Acquaintance with Malvina, a trip to the Country of Fools
In the morning he was found by Artemon, a poodle of a girl with blue hair - Malvina, who escaped from the Karabas Barabas Theater. It turned out that he was abusing his puppet actors. When Malvina, a girl with very good manners, met Pinocchio, she decided to educate him, which ended in punishment - Artemon locked him in a dark scary closet with spiders.
Having escaped from the closet, the boy again met the cat Basilio and the fox Alice. He did not recognize the "robbers" who attacked him in the forest, and again believed them. Together they set off on their journey. When the crooks brought Pinocchio to the Country of Fools on the Field of Miracles, it turned out to be like a dump. But the cat and the fox persuaded him to bury the money, and then set police dogs on him, who pursued Pinocchio, caught and threw him into the water.
The advent of the golden key
The boy made of logs did not drown. He was found by the old tortoise Tortilla. She told the naive Pinocchio the truth about his "friends" Alice and Basilio. The turtle kept a golden key, which a long time ago an angry man with a long scary beard dropped into the water. He shouted that the key could open the door to happiness and wealth. Tortila gave the key to Pinocchio.
On the way from the Country of Fools, Pinocchio met the frightened Pierrot, who also ran away from the cruel Karabas. Pinocchio and Malvina were very pleased to see Pierrot. Leaving friends in Malvina’s house, Pinocchio set off to follow Karabas Barabas. He had to find out which door could be opened with a golden key. By chance, in the tavern, Pinocchio heard a conversation between Karabas Barabas and Duremar, a merchant of leeches. He recognized the great secret of the golden key: the door he opens is in Papa Carlo’s closet behind the drawn hearth.
Locker door, staircase trip and new theater
Carabas Barabas turned to police dogs with a complaint about Pinocchio. He blamed the boy for the fact that artist dolls escaped because of him, which led to the ruin of the theater. Escaping persecution, Pinocchio and his friends came into the closet to Papa Carlo. They tore the canvas from the wall, found the door, opened it with a golden key and found an old staircase that led into the unknown. They went down the steps, slamming the door in front of the very nose of Karabas Barabs and the police dogs. There Pinocchio again met a talking cricket and apologized to him. A staircase leads to the world's best theater, with bright lights, loud and joyful music. In this theater, the heroes became masters, Pinocchio began playing on stage with friends, and Papa Carlo - selling tickets and playing the barrel organ. All the artists from the Karabas Barabas Theater left him in a new theater, where good performances were staged on the stage, and no one beat anyone.
Karabas Barabas was left alone in the street, in a huge puddle.
