A very lone nose

Does something look funny about this picture? Here's a hint: This man is the president of Russia, and his nose isn't really this long.

This is a post card made by a magazine from Poland. The magazine doesn't like the Russian president. By making his nose long in the picture, they are calling him a liar.

There is a famous cartoon movie called Pinocchio. In it, a little boy's nose gets longer every time he tells a lie. So if you draw someone with a very long nose, it means you think they are a liar.

The magazine asked its readers to send the post card to the Russian president so he would get lots and lots of them.

Do you know? PINOCCHIO The movie Pinocchio, is about a wooden toy who looks like a boy. The toy can walk and talk, but he wants to be ``a real boy.'' He goes on an adventure, and he gets help from a bug named Jiminy Cricket. The bug helps the boy figure out the difference between good and bad.
