Pinocchio asks his father Geppetto in the church why the townspeople like the wooden Christ on the cross, but not him. In the next two scenes, Pinocchio is subjected to two of the three temptations visited on Christ by Satan, as described in Chapter 4 of St. Matthew's Gospel. First, the temptation of Hunger: Pinocchio is tempted by a puppet called Mr. Diavolo (the Devil) with popcorn and hot chocolate. Second, the temptation of Power or Fame: Count Volpe puts him on a high place and shows him the kingdoms of the World which he could master. Thanks to his true-to-form naivete, the wooden boy succumbs immediately to both temptations.
