Introduction

　　This is an Oscar winning song from the 1940 Disney movie “Pinocchio. ”Pinocchio is a puppet that turns into a young boy. He does have a problem with telling lies， which makes his nose get longer. But like the rest of us， he manages to learn what he needs to learn about the importance of being honest and doing what he needs to do.

　　“When You Wish upon a Star”is another lovely song that it is likely to be sung for many decades by singers that have not yet been born. All of us need to dream and wish upon a star. It really doesn't matter who you think you are， because all of us are equal when a huge star in the distant black emptiness of space looks at us and listens to our dreams.
