Geppetto is working at a schnitzelbank, a European toymaker’s bench. Geppetto’s coin is from Italy. He has been making toys for children for over 200 years, and in fact made the teddy bears that belong to Teddy and Ben. Just as Banbury and Scandi can make their wooden horses come to life, so Geppetto can breathe life into his dolls. Now he’s making a little Gnome. But this is the first time that one of his creations has begun to speak. Geppetto is turning his head to hear better, and waiting in amazement for the new toy to speak again. Geppetto must be thinking, “Jiminy Cricket! I think it’s real!”
