History[]
The Fairy, "a beautiful little girl, with blue hair and a face as white as a wax image, her eyes closed and her hands crossed over her chest", makes her first appearance in Chapter XV at the window of her house in the woods, when Pinocchio desperately tries to escape the Cat and the Fox disguised as killers. "With a little voice that seemed to come from the other world," she tells the puppet that they are all dead in that house, including her, who is waiting for the coffin to be taken away; in the following chapter it is explained that the Girl is in reality "a very good Fairy, who for more than a thousand years lived in the vicinity of that wood".
The Fairy takes pity on the sight of Pinocchio hanged at the Great Oak, so he orders a hawk to free the puppet and the Poodle Medoro to take him to his house with a carriage, and consults three esteemed doctors (the Corvo, the Civetta and the Jiminy Cricket) to find out the puppet's conditions: the Talking Cricket manages to bring him back to life and the Fairy, as soon as she realizes that Pinocchio has a fever, hands him a glass of water with a medicine inside, which the puppet initially refuses to drink because it is bitter; the Fairy tries to convince him by offering him a ball of sugar and Pinocchio continues to refuse, but gets scared and accepts when the Fairy lets in four black rabbits with a coffin to take him away. Once recovered, Pinocchio tells the Fairy his version of the vicissitudes he has been through, and his nose suddenly begins to lengthen due to the multitude of lies: in fact, the Fairy says that «The lies, my boy, are recognized immediately! Because there are two kinds: there are lies that have short legs, and lies that have long noses: yours is precisely those that have long noses. "
After letting the puppet cry for half an hour for the lesson, the Fairy calls a thousand spikes to reduce the size of the nose and announces to Pinocchio that Geppetto had been warned of where he was and that he would soon arrive. Pinocchio is at the height of happiness and decides to run to meet his father in the woods, but he meets again the Cat and the Fox who convince him to follow them, making him believe that from the gold sequins he owns he can grow a tree full of coins to be able to them. to steal.
In chapter XXIII Pinocchio returns after having been in prison for four months and in the place of the white house of the Fairy he finds a small marble stone on which it is written that the Fairy died of pain after being abandoned by Pinocchio.
