but i feel sorry for Pinocchio
cried little Sarah after Father had closed the book

why, it's a a happy ending, isn't it?

no, it isn't
sobbed Sarah
Pinocchio was much more fun when he was still a puppet

after Father had comforted his crying daughter he went downstairs and sat silently smoking his pipe for awhile
when his tears finally came he opened the window and looked at the stars

it's alright now
he yelled
and the moon winked at him
