Pinocchio (part 2)

 -My little Pinocchio, if you want to become a real boy you have to go to school!
-Why?
-To learn lots of things and get smart!
-Then I will be a real boy?
-Yes my son. Here's an apple for your teacher... and of course don't forget your book! Ahh, let me take a good look at you! Now go straight to school with the other kids and when it is over, come right back!
-OK, goodbye Father, goodbye Figaro!




-Look Gideon, a wooden boy going to school...
-Ah yes...
-A WOODEN BOY!...Look! A puppet without strings! Isn't that amazing!
-Amazing... !
-Well I know someone who would give anything for a thing like that!
-Who?
-Stromboli the puppeteer! He is in town! If we play our cards right we can win a fortune! Let's head that boy off




-Oops excuse me my boy, are you OK?
-Oh... yes sir...!
-I am very sorry I walked into you, I get so clumsy sometimes...! Hope you are not injured!
-I am all right, I am on the way to school!
-Ah school... Then you haven't heard of the easier way to success!
-Eehm, no...
-No? Well my boy I am speaking about the theatre! Music, lights, fame, money! With that physique you are a natural born actor!
-But... I was going...
-Oh I can see your name written in big bright lights!What's your name?
-Pinocchio.
-OK then Pinocchio! We know the perfect theatre for you! Follow us and you will soon be a star! Come on! No time to waste!




-And now ladies and gentlemen, Stromboli the master showman -that's me- is proud to present the highlight of this show! Something incredible is going to happen in front of your eyes that you will not believe! Here is the only marionette in the world that can sing and dance without strings! The one and only Pinocchio!!




'I've got no strings
so I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
they've got strings
but you can see
there are no strings on me!'...
... (applause)...




-Bravo Pinocchio! They loved you! Look they paid well!
-You mean I am good? Am I an actor now?
-Yes my little treasure you are magnificent!
-Yay! Can't wait to go home and tell my father!
-Home? Of course, to your father, hahaha! That's very very funny!
-Is it? Haha, OK I will be back in the morning!
-What? ... Ahaha! Yes yes... be back in the morning...




-THERE... this will be your home where I can always find you!
-Oh no please, let me out of here...
-You are going nowhere, now be quiet! Good night my little wooden goldmine!
... ...
-No no, you can't keep me in here! Help, help!... Jimini, oh Jimini!





-Pinocchio, what happened? I thought you wouldn't need me now that you have great success! What did he do to you?
-Oh he is mad! I should have listened to you Jiminy! Now I will never see my father again!
-Wait, I will try to get you out... Well... no use... That lock is too rusty! But look... It's that star again!...
-Must be the Fairy lady! Oh what will I tell her?...
-You better tell her the truth!...




-Hello! Oh what happened Pinocchio? Didn't you go to school today?
-Eehm... I... I did but...
-Go on tell her!
-Well, I was going to school but... I met somebody...
-Met somebody? Who?
-I... I met two big monsters! With scary green eyes!
-Really! Weren't you afraid?
-No ma'am... But they...tied me in a big sack!
-You don't say! And where was sir Jiminy?
-They put him in a little sack!.... Oh no, what happened to my nose?
-Perhaps you aren't telling the truth Pinocchio! You see, a lie keeps growing and growing until it’s as plain as the nose on your face!
-Oh please help me miss Fairy, I promise I will be good and never lie again!
-OK I will forgive you this time, but you better keep your promise!

  1. This is amazing! I am so impressed with not just your photography skills, but with the care and thought you put into creating each scene. Absolutely brilliant! I am very curious about the backdrops or scenery you have in these photos; did you make them yourself? I'm wondering especially about the brick wall, sidewalks, and the building that has the brickwork around the doorway.
