by Allen Forrest / December 22nd, 2022


 
“Pinocchio eats sugar, but refuses to take medicine. When the undertakers come for him, he drinks the medicine and feels better. Afterwards he tells a lie and, in punishment, his nose grows longer and longer.”

— C. Collodi (pseudonym of Carlo Lorenzini), The Adventures of Pinocchio.
