If Pinocchio says "my nose will get larger" will his nose get larger?

Sure if he lie then it be larger!If Pinocchio says "my nose will get larger" will his nose get larger?
Well, if we didn't know Pinocchio, he wouldn't be lying. Your nose never stops growing, or so I read.
Of course, Pinocchio is a puppet. His nose only grows when he lies. If his nose doesn't grow, that sentence is a lie. If it's a lie, his nose grows. Which means his sentence was true. Which means his nose would not grow. Fun paradox.
He should give the sentence, "Don't tell me which sentence to give you; that's not your job."But the nose already grew when his sentence became true, so Pinocchio speaks the truth here.
It is a bit like the problem with the prisoner. The judge told him: if you speak the truth, I give you a sentence of 4 years. If you lie, I give you a sentence of 7 years. We know what happened, it is up to you to decide to tell the truth or not. The prisoner tells the judge: You will give me a sentence of 7 years.
What sentence should the judge give to keep his word?
