On this date back in 1940 the film Pinocchio was released nationwide. The story of a living puppet, with the help of a cricket as his conscience proves himself worthy of becoming a real boy.
The film is he story of a wood-carver named Geppetto, who produces a puppet named Pinocchio and is brought to life by a fairy, who informs him that he can become a real boy if he proves himself to be unselfish, brave and is always truthful. There lies the problem.
For the compulsive liar, lying feels safe and this fuels the desire to lie again and again.
