Just goes to show the trouble we can get into when we keep the wrong company. Thanks for sharing this faithful rendition of Pinocchio's story. All the best, Craig

Thank you!

An interesting take on this contest. Just suggestions: Since the last two stanzas have four lines, perhaps you could fashion the first two into four lines, as well. Since there is no rhyme scheme, it could be easy. The second stanza already has the partial makings of a line. the second and third lines could read: "He began to tell lies" followed by "his nose grew and grew".

Your words mean a lot to me. Maybe when this contest is over, I can become a fan of yours. Right now, I can't know your identity by the rules.

I think you did a good job incorporating the whole plot of Pinocchio. I would just point out to be sure to capitalize his name in the second to last stanza.
In these lines:
An evil pupeteer kidnapped him
I think you mean:
An evil puppeteer kidnapped him
This line is a little awkward:
ever since his lies, his nose grown
Maybe try:
Ever since he told lies, his nose has grown
