A poor woodcarver named Geppetto whittles a puppet from a piece of pine that already speaks before the first leg is finished, and the puppet runs out the door before he can be taught to walk. Carlo Collodi serialised these adventures in a Roman children's paper from 1881, publishing them as a book in 1883, and Italy gained the children's classic against which all subsequent ones would measure.

The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
