How it happened that Mastro Cherry, carpenter, found a piece of wood that wept and laughed like a child.
Mastro Cherry gives the piece of wood to his friend Geppetto, who takes it to make himself a Marionette that will dance, fence, and turn somersaults

Pinocchio falls asleep with his feet on a foot warmer, and awakens the next day with his feet all burned off.

Geppetto makes Pinocchio a new pair of feet, and sells his coat to buy him an A-B-C book
Pinocchio sells his A-B-C book to pay his way into the Marionette Theater.
The Marionettes recognize their brother Pinocchio, and greet him with loud cheers; but the Director, Fire Eater, happens along and poor Pinocchio almost loses his life.
