Plot

Dona Benta is an old lady who lives in Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo, away from the rush and noise of the big city. With her Aunt Anastasia, who cooks delicacies for everyone, and her granddaughter Lucia, better known as Narizinho (little nose). Living alone and having only the two elderly women as company, the girl creates a world of fantasies, in which the main character is her doll Emilia, made by Aunt Anastasia with scraps of cloth. Also living on the site are the old Uncle Barnabé and his helpers Zé Carneiro and Malazarte, who are responsible for maintaining the site.

One day, Narizinho meets Prince Scaly, sovereign of the Kingdom of the Clear Waters, which, coincidentally, is located in the creek of the site. The Prince is enchanted with the girl and invites her to know his kingdom. There, she is introduced to the most prominent subjects, such as Sorrel Carochinha, responsible for administering fairy tales, and determined to keep Little Thumb trapped in her books. Also to Dr. Caramujo, a renowned scientist, who gives Emilia the talking pill. After the drug is ingested, Emilia begins to speak and does not stop.

During the school vacation, Narizinho is accompanied by her cousin Pedrinho, who studies in the big city where he lives with his mother. The boy also knows a friend of Aunt Anastasia, the Viscount of Sabugosa, made from an old corn spike, which also comes to life. After having been forgotten for a long time from the middle of the books, the Viscount acquired a wonderful wisdom, becoming intellectual and scientist.

At the Pica-Pau Amarelo site, everything is possible. Fantasy mixes with reality, being part of the daily life of the girl Narizinho and her cousin Pedrinho. It is with adult characters that children share their adventures in a fantastic world where the doll Emilia, Viscount of Sabugosa, Saci Pererê, Cuca, Iara and other fanciful characters travel.

The texts of this version were written by weighty names of teledramaturgy, such as Wilson Rocha, Marcos Rey, Silvan Paezzo and Benedito Ruy Barbosa. The general direction and idealization of the program was Geraldo Casé considered the "Father" of the program in the almost 10 years that the program was on the air.
