Counting words in a text with python

"""Let's count words in a text.
We got a text like this:"""

message = "How it happened that Mastro Cherry, carpenter, found a piece of wood that wept and laughed like a child. Centuries ago there lived-- \"A king!\" my little readers will say immediately. No, children, you are mistaken. Once upon a time there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Far from it. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick, solid logs that are put on the fire in winter to make cold rooms cozy and warm. I do not know how this really happened, yet the fact remains that one fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter. His real name was Mastro Antonio, but everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red and shiny that it looked like a ripe cherry. As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy. Rubbing his hands together happily, he mumbled half to himself: \"This has come in the nick of time. I shall use it to make the leg of a table.\"He grasped the hatchet quickly to peel off the bark and shape the wood. But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a wee, little voice say in a beseeching tone: \"Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!\"What a look of surprise shone on Mastro Cherry's face! His funny face became still funnier."

This function:
1) creates a list (ol)
2) for every word stored in "count" dictonary
3) if the word count is less than 10 it will append a "0" (zero) to the number of time the word is repeated in the text, so that it becomes 01, 02... and then it adds the word  putting it as a new item of the list "ol"
4) If the number is greater than 10 (two digits) it joins the number of repetitions and the word putting it as a new item of the list "ol"
5) The list is sorted
6) the list is printed
