Folktales The Chits –Children
story (Just the main
lines) There was an old man. He had a very very
little garden (perhaps 20cm X.20 cm). He decided to plant vegitables. He worked
there every day, cleaning and watering. He got marvelous vegitables (Here
give a long long list of all the vegitables you know - ask the children help
- What more? Mix some fruits, just for the fun of it - oranges, watermelon
(40 cm X 40 cm), bananas. He got
such nice vegitables - Wou! every tomato - Cucumber! Every cucumber - Tomato! "What shell I do with such wonderful
vegitables? I have an idea! I'll bring it to the king!" He
brought the king a whole basket (Wou! every tomato - Cucumber! Every
cucumber... - Tomato! – let the children complete the words). The king
was dilighted. He tasted it (Wou! every tomato - Cucumber! Every cucumber...
- Tomato !). "What would you like to get for your wonderful present?
Gold? Money? Just ask!"
"Well" said the old man, "Give me a chit, a piece of
paper"
"Piece of paper? And what you do you want me to write on
it?"
"Give an order that every man in the city who has a bath-house
should give me 2 boxes – tax."
"O.K. here you are, but it not enough, ask for something with
real value - gold, diamonds. You know – I am a king!"
"O.K. so give me another chit."
"Another chit? And what do you want me to write on it?"
"That every one in the city who is bald should give me 2 boxes –
royal tax"
"O.K. you got it, but now ask for something good. Last
chance!" What do
you think he asked? Yes... Another chit… This time
he asked that every one that his wife name is Fatma should pay him 2 $ tax.
Then he get fourth chance - he askes for a chit where it is written that
every one that his donkey brought a new donkey-foal to the world should pay
him 2 $. He goes
outside. He finds a man with a bath-house. He tells him he owes him 2 $. The
man gets angry - Why? How come?" "Well, I have a chit from the
king!" The man takes his hat off and the old man sees he
has a bald. "Oh,
sorry sorry, you do don't owe me 2 $. I t is a mistake." "I
KNEW it was a mistake"
"Well truth is that you owe me 4 $"
"WHAT???!!!"
"Well, I have another chit..."
"Fatma!" he calls his wife, "Come and see what the king
does to me - new taxes"
"Wait a moment - your wife name is Fatma?" "And
if so - what?"
"Then I did a mistake. You do not owe me 4 $!" "I Knew
it is a mistake!"
"Well truth is that you do not owe me 2 $, you do not owe me 4 $
you owe me 6 boxes!" "6 $
- my God! you just
"Well your wife name is Fatma and I have a chit... (Preper the
chits at home and show it to the children). Now Fatma goes out and after her
the donkey and after the big big donkey - a very little just born...
"Sorry, sorry, sorry you do not owe me 2. you do not owe me 4.
(All the children together: YOU DO NOT OWE ME 6. YOU OWE ME 8
BOXES!" Each time
the man is more angry and more crazy (play the role) and the old man more
calm and more polite. End of
story: He cursed and cursed and cried – but the money, he DID pay!! |
