Upon reaching the area where the fairy's house once stood, Pinocchio finds a tombstone claiming that the fairy died of grief because her little brother, Pinocchio, abandoned her. Pinocchio double-crosses them, and the peasant is so pleased with his work that he frees the puppet. Pinocchio meets four polecats who offer him a deal in which they would be allowed to steal chickens. The peasant who set the trap makes Pinocchio act as his guard dog for the night. Pinocchio sets off for the blue-haired fairy's house, but along the way, he is caught in an iron leg trap set out for polecats (weasels). Pinocchio spends several months in prison until he is freed because of a general amnesty granted to all prisoners. The judge is sympathetic, but for some reason imprisons Pinocchio, perhaps for his foolishness. When Pinocchio learns they have stolen the gold he planted, he appeals to a local judge. He goes with them to the Field of Miracles. Pinocchio sets off for home, but encounters the cat and fox, who feign ignorance about his attack. Eventually, after Pinocchio recovers, he and the fairy agree they are like brother and sister now. The lies make his nose grow so long that he cannot move. The fairy questions him about why the robbers were after him, and Pinocchio lies about still possessing his gold. The fairy sends a falcon to cut Pinocchio's noose down and bring him into the house. They leave after a while, bored with waiting for him to die. The beautiful blue-haired fairy living there doesn't open the door for him, so the fox and cat catch and hang him from an oak tree. He refuses to open his mouth, where he has stashed his coins, and he runs up to a white house. In the morning, the fox and cat ambush Pinocchio disguised as robbers. On the way, they stop at an inn, where they spend one of his coins on a lavish meal. They convince the puppet to plant his coins in the Field of Miracles, where they will grow into bushes yielding 2,500 coins. On his way home, Pinocchio meets a fox and a cat, who pretend to be disabled to attract Pinocchio's attention.
When Pinocchio leaves, the master gives him five gold coins for his impoverished father. However, the fearsome puppet master threatens to burn a puppet to cook his mutton it is only when Pinocchio offers to sacrifice himself in place of another puppet that the puppet master decides not to burn anyone. He sells the spelling book to afford entrance to the theater, inside which he meets several fellow puppets, all of whom are delighted to see him. When it is time to leave for school the next morning, Pinocchio is tempted by a puppet theater set up near the shore. First, though, Geppetto makes him an outfit and sells his own coat to buy a spelling book Pinocchio needs for his studies.
Geppetto gives Pinocchio the three pears he had in his pocket and Pinocchio promises to be a good boy who studies hard at school. He returns home to find Pinocchio has burned off his feet while trying to dry them on a brazier (portable heater). Geppetto is freed from prison in the morning. That night Pinocchio goes out in search of food that he can beg from people, but only gets a bucket of water dumped on his head. Pinocchio rejects the cricket's advice about being an obedient boy, and throws a mallet at the cricket, flattening him dead. In Geppetto's house, he meets the Talking Cricket, who scolds him for running away from his father. Pinocchio goes back home famished, as even a block of wood needs nutrition. Upon taking his first steps, Pinocchio dashes off into town, running from his "papa." A soldier stops Pinocchio, but because Geppetto has a reputation for getting into conflicts with the young local boys who tease him, Pinocchio is released while the soldier marches Geppetto to prison. As soon as he has legs, he kicks Geppetto, and his nose grows uncontrollably, even as Geppetto carves it back down. Pinocchio instantly shows signs of being a troublemaker. Geppetto uses it to carve a boy puppet he calls Pinocchio, who will be the novel's protagonist. Cherry's neighbor, the beggar Geppetto, comes by to ask for a piece of wood out of which he can craft a puppet that he can use to perform for meager amounts of money. However, the log can speak, and it complains about what Cherry is doing to it. Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchiobegins when Master Cherry, a carpenter with a cherry-red nose, starts to chop and plane a log of wood out of which he intends to fashion a table leg.
