从前，有一位老爷爷，他有一头像玉米糊一样的黄头发，人们都叫他老玉米糊爷爷。
老玉米糊爷爷很穷，但他的木工活做得不错。他给自己做了漂亮的床和柜子，日子过得很舒服。可一个人过久了，他有时候会感到特别孤独。
樱桃爷爷知道这件事以后，送给老玉米糊爷爷一块木头，“这是块会哭会笑的木头，你用它做一个木偶，不就有人陪你了吗？”
Once upon a time,there was an old man with yellow hair.People called him Grandpa Hominy.
Grandpa Hominy was a good woodcutter.He made himself a lot of furniture.Grandpa Hominy lived on his own and sometimes felt lonely.
Grandpa Cherry gave Grandpa Hominy a piece of wood.“This is a piece of magic wood which can cry and laugh.You can make a puppet from it,”he said.
老玉米糊爷爷非常高兴，拿起木头就刻了起来。他刚刻出耳朵，那耳朵就一扇一扇地动了；刚刻出眼睛，那眼睛就骨碌碌地转了，简直太神奇啦！
不一会儿，木偶就做好了。他瞪大了眼睛，边笑边叫，又蹦又跳，真是一个可爱的小男孩儿。不过，他的鼻子好像做得长了一些。但老玉米糊爷爷可不在乎这个，他对这个木偶越看越喜欢，还给他起了个好听的名字，叫皮诺曹。
Grandpa Hominy was so happy and he began to carve the wood immediately.When he finished the ears,the ears began to move.When he finished the eyes,the eyes began to blink.
Soon,a puppet came into being.The puppet was laughing and jumping.He was a lovely boy with a long nose!Grandpa Hominy loved the puppet very much and he named him Pinocchio.
