Summary

Pinocchio remains a universal icon and a metaphor of the human condition. The book is considered a canonical piece of literature and has had great impact on world culture. The "Pinocchio" is a story about the mischievous adventures of an animated marionette named Pinocchio and his father, a poor woodcarver named Geppetto. The setting of the story is the Tuscan area of Italy. Geppetto carves the block of pinewood into a puppet and names him "Pinocchio". As soon as Pinocchio's nose has been carved, it begins to grow with his congenital impudence. Before he is even built, Pinocchio already has a mischievous attitude. Once the puppet has been finished and Geppetto teaches him to walk, Pinocchio runs out the door and away into the town. Pinocchio goes through numerous adventures and misadventures before he turns into a real boy.

    Ring Around The Sun by Isaac Asimov - Hell in reverse temperature–that’s what Jimmy and Roy were going through in their little space-ship! Tricked into the dangerous trip, ironic fate caused them to freeze at 40 below, though they were almost in the sun! 
Jimmy Turner was humming merrily, if a bit raucously, when he entered the reception room. 
"Is Old Sourpuss in?" he asked, accompanying the question with a wink at which the pretty secretary blushed gratefully. 
"He is; and waiting for you." She motioned him towards the door on which was written in fat, black letters, "Frank McCutcheon, General Manager, United Space Mail." 
Jim entered. "Hello, Skipper, what now?" 
McCutcheon stared at him from under bushy gray eyebrows. "Old Sourpuss," as he was euphoniously known to all members of United Space Mail, had never been known to laugh within the memory of the oldest inmate, though rumor did have it that when a child he had smiled at the sight of his father falling out of an apple-tree. Right now his expression made the rumor appear exaggerated.
