I am slightly intrigued that you think there's any other way to view Pinocchio, but I suppose my version isn't exactly Disney friendly :) They'll have sanded down the rough edges somehow, I'm sure. Maybe he's just a pickpocket in their version?

The echo
The judges had reset the table and set up a little stand for handbags, clutch purses and other personal items; and two of them had debated for five minutes about asking Claire to take her bangles and bracelets off, but the way she stared at them the whole time scared them off in the end.
"Let's play," said Theresa, picking up tiles from her rack and rearranging them.
"Let's play," said Claire, tapping her rack with a gold-and-blue painted fingernail.
"Is there an echo in here?" asked Margaret, slightly surprised.

Greg - uh huh :)

Hah, I like that the judges chose the (relatively) wise route with the jewelry. Claire sounds properly intimidating!
