A puppet master tried to use him as firewood, the robbers tangled his neck, a snake tried to bite him, a farmer tied him up in a doghouse, an ogre tried to eat him and a man push him into the ocean. In addition, Pinocchio had to experience numerous attempted murders. As donkey, he was again enslaved in a circus where he was beaten all day, broke his leg during a performance, sold to a man who drown him into the sea and eaten by whale. There he played all the time, get drunk, and eventually turned into a donkey. This time he did well in school but alas, some boys talked him into going to Toyland. The boy went to school, had a fight with some boy, caught by ogre, rescued by policemen, and went to school again.

The Blue Fairy took care of him when Geppetto was absent. He managed to escape and returned home only to find out that Geppetto had gone in search of him. The land, he was trapped in farmer house. In the second part, after returning home, instead of going to school as he had promised, he went in search of miracle land, a place where gold coins could grow on tree. In the first part of the original version, Pinocchio escaped slavery in a marionette theater, rescued from robbers and returned home. Unlike the popular Disney version, in the original story, the adventure of Pinocchio is exhaustingly long. This reality is never shown in the more popular version. The story portrayed how people living in 19th century Italy strive for food and shelter. This, some critics say, is a reflection of harsh life condition in Italy where the writer was living by the time he wrote this book. When Pinocchio wanted to go to school, Geppetto had to sell his cart and only coat in winter time to buy Pinocchio’s book. A man, who was annoyed by his pleas, poured Pinocchio’s head with a basin of cold water instead. When Geppetto was in prison Pinocchio had to beg for food in the street. In the original version the condition of extreme poverty in which Geppetto and Pinocchio lived was described very clearly. Only after the police learned the truth he released Geppetto from prison.

So the police thought Geppetto had abused Pinocchio and arrested him. Geppetto was known for his reputation as children hater.

A policeman saw Pinochio running with Gepetto chasing after him. Right after Geppetto finished carving, Pinocchio started to make more trouble by escaping into the street. Even when he was still lump of wood, Pinocchio had already shown his character as a naughty boy. It chuckle and stuck out his tongue at him, it snatched his wig and kicked him hard. In the original, the second Geppetto carved out the puppet’s nose it began doing mischievous things on him. In the original version, Pinocchio was carved through a long process and Geppetto’s character was far more complicated. Geppetto was also described as a kind old man who loves little children. In popular version, Pinocchio was created overnight without difficulties and at first he was a sweet little wooden boy. Version, Pinocchio was severely punished for his misdeed and had no chance at all to fulfill his dream.
