Reply to comment by fotorobot in TIL the original 1881 "Pinocchio" was a dark story that included the puppet's execution by hanging for his bad behavior (which included murdering Jiminy Cricket) by foodtower

She dies, what is there to misunderstand, it's not a happy ending dude it's just that she gets to die in the same way that humans die. IF you actually read it as a child then the ending is, unless you're deeply religious, extremely sad.

It's a little sad, but not "extremely sad"- and then gets spun to sound happy again. It's a children's book that many children still read. I am not deeply religious, but you don't need to be religious to believe in fictional existence of souls in a fictional world.
