Geppetto, a poor Italian carpenter, at the sight of Mangiafuoco's puppet theater, decides to build a wooden puppet to tour the country and earn a living. He visits his friend and colleague Master Cherry to ask him for a piece of wood to work on. Frightened by an living log, Cherry gifts it to Geppetto and he begins to build the puppet, which he decides to name "Pinocchio". During the process, Geppetto realizes that Pinocchio is alive and sentient and decides to take him as his son. Now that he has a body, Pinocchio starts running outside and returns home while Geppetto is still looking for him in town. Geppetto's roommate, a hundred years old Talking Cricket, tries to help Pinocchio by giving him advice, but the puppet, considering him annoying, throws a hammer to shut him up.
