Question: why did geppetto made pinocchio?
Answer: When Geppetto drops by looking for a piece of wood to build a marionette, Antonio gives the block to Geppetto. Geppetto, being extremely poor and thinking on making a living as a puppeteer, carves the block into a boy and names him "Pinocchio". ... Because Geppetto has no money to buy school books, he sells his only coat.
