Retelling a Known Story
Title: Pinocchio A.I.
Theme of Original Story: a real boy must be moral/ couarage makes a real boy
Theme of New Story: to be human is to make mistakes
Premise or Log-line of Original Story: A marionette is brought to life and must prove himself to be a real boy.
Premise or Log-line of New Story: A robot is created and must discover how to prove its sentience.
New Story:
An inventor Gepetto is working on his newest creation. He is creating a robot to pass the Turing test. In the process, the robot is created to have superior intelligence and personality, but because of the advanced personality granted to him, he has a character defect that makes him want to be untruthful, but at the same time his lying causes him to short circuit, pop his nose plate out, and shut down for a few seconds.
Gepetto is down on his luck, unable to use the investment he made in Pinocchio to make any money. One night he drunkenly gambles away Pinocchio to the unscrupulous Mr. Fox, and he is taken away. The next morning, Gepetto wakes up hung-over and full of regret. He must find Pinocchio.
Pinocchio is under the care of Mr. Fox and is forced to work for him. Pinocchio wonders how it could be legal to treat him so cruelly. He slowly befriends Mr. Fox’s lawyer Jiminy. Jiminy informs him that only humans can have rights.
One day Gepetto sees Pinocchio outside working. He rejoices at the sight of his creation. However, Mr. Fox shows up and informs him that he is his property. That is when Gepetto informs him that he will see Mr. Fox in court.
In court the judge tells Pinnocchio he must pass an advanced form of the Turing test. He is pitted against a real boy and must convince the jurors he is human. When Pinnocchio is asked questions about himself, he feels guilt and lies. The real boy tells the truth. The jurors don’t expect a robot to lie so the unanimously identify him as the human. Pinocchio is able to be recognized as a real human and is issued a birth certificate, no longer Mr. Fox’s property. He goes home happily with Gepetto.
Revised Random Elements Story

______________________________________
Geronimo is a green grape, happily living with his family in a grape vineyard. One day, he stumbles across a horrible sight. His family is being slaughtered and turned into champagne by a toothsome but lumpy and deformed grape. She asks, “Are you thirsty?” As Geronimo watches in horror as his innocent parents are crushed in a wine press, while the villainous grape stands on an operating platform to control the wine press. The grape calls on her giant human minion to gather Geronimo and his fellow grapes, ready to create the next batch.
Geronimo and the other grapes are tossed into the wine press, and the minion begins to stir and mash them with the press. Geronimo cowers in a crevice in the press between its wooden slits, safe from the carnage, but seeing it all. The other grapes are mashed to bits and turned into a liquid before his very eyes. Geronimo has to quickly escape before he’s fermented as well. He slams himself against the wine press’ cork, creating a hole for him to escape through.
He falls to the floor, some of his family’s innards spilling out with him. The mysterious grape’s minion calls in more giants, saying, “Now it’s time for the tasting part of the tour.” Geronimo is further disturbed as the giants sniff tall glasses of grape blood, before putting it in their mouths and swishing it around before spitting it back out. Geronimo cannot understand these barbaric actions.
He shouts at the other grape, asking how she could do such a horrible thing. She reveals that she is Geraldine, Geronimo’s third cousin twice removed, a deformed grape who, from her angle on the vine, could see Geronimo, though he could not see her. Due to her disfigurement, she was mocked by their family and, seeking revenge, she created the winery.
Geronimo notices a forklift with crates of champagne bottles and a running furnace, and he forms a plan to stop her. He operates the forklift, positioning the bottles near the furnace. As they heat up, their corks fly off with such speed and with the correct trajectory to hit the support beam of Geraldine’s operating platform. The evil grape falls into the wine press and is mashed along with her relatives.
Geronimo leaves the winery, a changed man after the horrors he’s witnessed. He runs away from his past and retires in California, becoming a crotchety old raisin.
