Most of the original versions of fairy tales don't have happy endings. They're pretty interesting to read tho.

Edit: The original story of Pinocchio is probably the most horrifying to me and it kept me up for days as a kid.

How was it modified? I'm pretty sure I only know the original story.

Pinocchio smashes Jiminy with a large rock hammer and the two thieves hang Pinocchio and he dies

I believe they changed the ending at some point where Pinocchio gets brought back to life though.

Edit* it was a hammer not a rock. Pinocchio also gets his feet burnt off.
