We are introduced to the story by Jiminy Cricket. He takes us into the shop of Geppetto, carpenter and puppet-maker. Jiminy hopes to have the chance merely to settle down on the hearth but, as he is doing so, Geppetto and his kitten, Figaro, appear. Jiminy watches as Geppetto puts the final touches to his best puppet to date. The question arises as to the puppets name: Geppetto suggests Pinocchio but neither Figaro nor the goldfish Cleo like that.

Off singing voiceWhen you wish upon a star

makes no difference who you are

anything your heart desires

will come to you

If your heart is in your dream

no request is too extreme

when you wish upon a star

as dreamers do

Fate is kind

she brings to those who love

the sweet fulfillment of

their secret longing

Jiminy CricketPretty, huh? Ill bet a lot of you folks dont believe that, about a wish coming true, do you? Well, I didnt. Of course Im just a cricket singing my way from hearth to hearth but let me tell you what made me change my mind he opens a book entitled Pinocchio One night, a long time ahem. Pardon me. Waitll I fix this thing. There. One night a long time ago my travels took me to a quaint little village. It was a beautiful night. The stars were shining like diamonds high above the roofs of that sleepy old town. Pretty as a picture. As I wandered along the crooked streets there wasnt a soul to be seen. The only sign of life was a lighted window in the shop of a wood-carver named Geppetto. So I hopped over and looked in. It was a shame to see a nice cheerful fire like that going to waste. So what do I do? I go in! I looked around. Of course, being in a strange place like that I didnt know what to expect. A cricket cant be too careful, you know. Soon as I saw there was no one about I made myself at home. As I stood there warming my myself I took a look around. Well sir, you never saw such a place. The most fantastic clocks you ever laid your eyes on and all carved out of wood. And cute little music boxes, each one a work of art. And shelf after shelf of toys and and then something else caught my eye. A puppet! You know, one of those marionette things, all strings and joints chuckle Cute little fellow. Ding, ding. Going up? Good piece of wood too.

GeppettoWell now, it wont take much longer.

FigaroMeow

GeppettoJust a little more paint and hes all finished. I think hell be al right, dont you, Figaro?

FigaroPurr.

Geppettohumming Tra, la, la

Jiminy CricketAhh! Beg pardon.

GeppettoSee chuckle That makes a big difference.

Jiminy CricketVer-r-ry good! Very, very good. Well, you cant please everybody.

GeppettoNow I have just the name for you: Pinocchio! Do you like it, Figaro? No? You do, dont you Cleo? Well, well leave it to little woodenhead. You like it? That settles it! Pinocchio it is! Come on, now, well try you out. Music Professor! He works the puppets strings so that it nods yes. Geppetto pushes the button of a music box. Then, by working his strings Geppetto makes Pinocchio dance

Jiminy CricketHey! Ouch, ouch! Take it easy there! Oh, break it up, will you? Whew! Lotta down beats in there.

Geppettohumming Little woodenhead
