The Sun and the Wind

Wind:  - Whooooo! I’m Mr. Wind. Whooooo! How strong I am! I’m stronger   

               than the sun!

Sun:   -  Oh, no, Mr. Wind. Look at me. I’m a big hot sun.  I’m stronger than

              you, Mr. Wind.

Wind:  - Let us see. Look at that man. He is in a black coat.

Sun:    - Where? Oh, I see him.

Wind:  - Let us see who can take off his coat.

Sun:     -  All right.

Wind: - I’ll begin. (He begins to blow.) Whooooo! I want that coat.

Man:   - Oh, how cold it is!

Wind: - Whooooo! I want that coat.

Man:   - Oh, what a strong wind!

Wind:  - Whooooo! I want that coat.

Man:    - I’m so cold! I’m glad that I have a warm coat.

Wind: - Whooooo! I can’t take off his coat.

Sun:    - Well, Mr. Wind, you aren’t so strong. I’ll try to take off his coat. (The sun

              shines on the man)

Man:   - Now I’m not so cold. What a funny day! First it was cold but now it is hot.

             (The sun shines and shines)

Man:   - Now I’m too hot. I’ll take off my coat. (The man takes off his coat)

Sun:    - Wow! I’m stronger than you, Mr. Wind!

Wind:  Well, Mr. Sun. The man took off his coat for you. I see that you are strong.   

            But I’m strong too. - Whooooo!

The Lion’s Den.

Lion:      I’m a king. I’m King Lion.

Dog:       Bow-wow. I’m a brave dog. I’m a lion’s friend

Monkey: Hoo-Hoo. I’m a funny monkey. I’m a lion’s friend too.

Fox:        I’m a sly fox. You are our strong King Lion, the King of all animals. I’m glad to be your friend.

Lion:      You are all my good friends. But do you always tell me the truth?

Dog:       Certainly.

Mouse:   Of course.

Fox:        I’m proud of you, my dear King Lion.

Lion:      Well, I want you tell me how my den smells. 

Dog:       Oh, Lion, I’m your good friend and I’m not afraid to tell you the truth.

               Your den smells badly.

Lion:   (angrily) GRRRRRR! You are not a very good friend. How can you say that my den smells badly? Get out – and don’t come back, or I’ll eat you up!

Mouse:    What a fool! You are a silly dog! Oh, Lion, I’m your good friend and I’ll tell you the truth. Your den smells like flowers…Hmmm, flowers…

Lion:  (angrily) GRRRRRR! You are a bad monkey! You are a fool too! Get out – and don’t come back, or I’ll eat you up!

Lion:   (looking at the fox) And you, a red fox? How do you think my den smells?

Fox:     Oh, my dear King Lion, the King of all animals, I can’t tell you.

Lion:    Why? Why?!

Fox:     I can’t tell you because I have a bad cold. (sneezing and coughing) Sorry, but I can’t smell anything.

Lion:    You are very clever, my friend. You have saved my feelings and your own  skin.

Fox:    Thank you, my dear King. You are clever, very clever but I’m very sly.

Which piece is mine?

Cat:                   I’m a little cat, Pussy.

Rabbit:              I’m a little rabbit, Bunny.

Cat and Rabbit: We are good friends.

Cat:                  Bunny, let’s go for a walk.

Rabbit:             With pleasure. Let’s go to the wood.

Cat:                  OK.

Rabbit:             Oh, what is this?

Cat:                  We have found a big piece of cheese.

Rabbit:              I like cheese.

Cat:                   I like cheese too.

Rabbit:              Let’s cut this cheese into two pieces. Then we’ll each have a piece.

Cat:                   You are right.

Rabbit:              I’ll make the pieces the same size.

Cat:                   Look! One piece is a little bigger than the other.

Rabbit:              I’ll take the bigger piece.

Cat:                   Don’t take it. I want the bigger piece.

Rabbit:              Dear Mr. Fox, help us, please.

Cat:                   We have two pieces of cheese. I want the bigger piece. The rabbit wants the bigger piece too. Which piece of mine?

Fox:                 I’ll help you. I’ll bite the bigger piece so they will be the same size.

Cat:                   Now the other piece is bigger!

Fox:                 That’s all right. I’ll bite it too.

Rabbit:              Now the first piece is bigger again.

Fox:                 I’ll bite it again. Then they will be the same size.

Cat:                   I don’t see the first piece.

Fox:                 Now I’ll eat the other piece too. Then they will be the some size.

Rabbit:             Now we have no cheese at all.

Cat:                  It’s a lesson for us to be clever in future.

The Hunter and the Bird

Hunter:      I’m a hunter. I’m very hungry. I want some birds to eat! I’ll look in my traps.  Aha!    Here is a little bird to eat!

Red Bird:   Oh, Hunter. See how small I am! I’m not big for a good supper. My  brother is in that trap. He is bigger than I am.

Hunter:     All right. Fly away. I’ll go to the second trap. Oh, you are a little bigger.

                  I’ll eat you.

Green Bird: Oh, Hunter. Look at me. I’m not fat. My brother is in that big trap. He

                   is big and fat. You can eat him for your supper.

Hunter:     All right. Fly away. I’ll go to the third trap. Oh, you are right! This bird

                  is big and fat!

Yellow Bird: Oh, Hunter, I’m big and fat. Do you know why?

Hunter:     I don’t know. Why?

Yellow Bird:  I’m so clever. I’m so wise. I always know how to get a good supper.

                       If you let me go, I’ll tell you how to be clever.

Hunter:       Very well, what must I do to be clever?

Yellow Bird: Do as I say: Open your hands.

                                          Shut your eyes.

                                          Then I tell you,

                                          How to be wise!

Hunter:        Oh, Bird! You are free. Now tell me how to be clever. I want to be

                     wise.

Yellow Bird:  Of course, I’ll tell you. Listen to me. Be attentive.

                      A wise proverb says: “A bird in the hand is worth two in the tree.”

  Red Bird:    Do you know this proverb?

Green Bird:  Do you understand it?

  Yellow Bird:    Good bye, silly hunter. We are flying away.     

Hunter: Oh, I’m a poor hungry hunter. Oh, I’m a silly hungry hunter.

White Mouse: Oh, no. I’m afraid of a big red cat.

Little Mouse: He is sleeping now. Let’s go!

Black Mouse: No, I’m afraid of a big red cat, too.

Little Mouse: I’m hungry. I don’t know what to do.

Grey Mouse: Oh, little mouse, what can we do? We are afraid of the cat.

White Mouse: This cat is very big and bad. He can eat us.

Little Mouse: I’m hungry. I hate this cat. What shall we do?

Black and white mouse: I know. I know! Let’s go to the old clever mouse. She lives in the field not far from our house. She can help us.

Little Mouse: OK. Let’s go.

Black Mouse: Good morning, dear old mouse.

Old Mouse: Good morning, my dear mice. How are you?

Little Mouse: Very bad. We don’t know what to do.

Grey Mouse: A big red cat lives in our house.

Black and white mouse: He eats many mice every day.

White Mouse: We are afraid of him. The big red cat will kill us all.

Black Mouse: What can we do? Help us, old clever mouse.

Mice: Help us! Help!

Old Mouse: Oh, my dear mice. Let me think a little.

City mice: We know what to do. We are cool city mice.

The first mouse: The cat kills you because you don’t hear him.

The second mouse: Let’s put a bell round his neck.

 The third mouse: Then you’ll hear him before he comes into the room.

White Mouse: That’s a very good idea.

Black Mouse: Now the big bad red cat won’t kill us.

Grey Mouse: We are very glad and happy.

Little Mouse: Let’s dance and sing.

Old Mouse: Oh, my dear little mice. I want to ask one question.

                   Who will put the bell round the cat’s neck?
