HEARTLINES IS ABOUT VALUES

HEARTLINES is an organisation which helps people to talk, think and ACT on good values.We make films, books, and TV programmes, and use SMS and the Internet to get people to do things which will be good for themselves, for others and for South Africa as a whole. HEARTLINES promotes good values values such as compassion, responsibility, perseverance, selfless love, honesty, and above all, having the COURAGE to put these values into ACTION.

Why?
HEARTLINES believes that most people share good values, but they dont always ACT as if they believe in them. If we all acted on our good values, we would be able to tackle problems such as HIV/AIDS, gender violence, xenophobia, racism and bullying. HEARTLINES supports the ONE-LOVE campaign, which encourages people to live out values such as honesty and faithfulness in relationships, and stick to one sexual partner, so as to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS.

About this book

Stories that Talk: Short Plays for Primary Schools takes popular stories from Stories that Talk, the compilation of southern-African values-based stories, and turns them into plays that can be performed in assemblies, in the classroom, in faith-based settings, and in other group activities with children. Adapted for use as drama scripts by well-known actor and director, Jerry Mofokeng, the stories lend themselves to easy-to-produce, short plays with a strong values message. The plays are translated into everyday Afrikaans, Sesotho and isiZulu language, and can be used in both mother-tongue and second-language environments. 1

A NOTE TO THE TEACHER

From Jerry Mofokeng Actor, Director, Presenter

THE

MAGIC OF THE ARTS

Allow me to liken us as dramatists to magicians. We are able to transport our audiences to the world of make-believe and give them an unforgettable experience for the duration of the play. The hall that you walked into becomes the jungle somewhere in Africa. The child you transported to school becomes a villain. Everyday language is transformed into unforgettable dialogue. The beauty also lies in the audience discussions afterwards where they express opinions and feelings about the characters and the situations they saw on stage. It is this magic that we hope these dramas will assist you to create.

THE POWER

OF

CHILDRENS IMAGINATIONS

One of the most beautiful assets to use in the cast and in the audience is childrens ability to imagine. We have seen how children who are complete strangers, if left to themselves, are able to create a world, a reality, between themselves that they inhabit and explore. As teachers we have that asset available to us. The challenge and the opportunity for us is to tap into that quality. Suggestions and questions such as what if ... or imagine that suddenly open the door for you. I think it will be to your advantage to go through an entire rehearsal without once telling the children do this or dont do that. Even prefacing the next suggestion with I think ... makes a difference and gives the child comfort that they are participants in the making of the product. The discipline of imagining as a teacher unlocks your creativity and effectively taps into the magical world of childrens imagination.

THE TEACHER AS THE DRAMATIST

It is to your advantage if you have experience in theatre-crafts. However, there is no expectation that you must have this knowledge to make these plays work. Here is how we see your role in the school environment: When a script has already been written, there are two people who work on it to interpret the writers intent and give it life on stage the Dramaturg and the Director.

Drama stories

Page 3

The Dramaturg is basically the literary mediator between the writer and the director. Their task is to be an advocate for the writer and to see to it that the director does justice to the script. The director is an interpretive artist. Their task is to paint a picture of the script in their mind and to inject that picture into the actors. They create the magic by fusing all the elements into the magic of theatre. The teacher wears both these hats. But Id like to explain the teachers role in a slightly different manner. The teacher - working with learners and not actors, working in a classroom and not a theatre, working alone and not with designers and choreographers thus works differently from the director and the dramaturg - even though they borrow some of the techniques from these roles. The teacher is: A Facilitator: Their task is to act as a catalyst - they are participating outsiders in the process. They provide processes that assist the children to realize their roles in the play. One way of doing this is in asking questions rather than dictating things. The teacher is the childrens partner and not their boss. Everyone looks forward to the rehearsal and asks themselves: I wonder what the teacher has got up their sleeve today its such fun working with them. This is the part that takes full advantage of the childrens imagination and takes them to imaginary worlds that adults sometimes struggle to journey to. An Enabler: I often say to young people who work with me no-one is allowed to say I cannot in our rehearsal room. It is okay to acknowledge that you have never done what I am asking you to do, that you feel a little intimidated and so on, but you are going to try and you are going to do it the best way that You can - no holding back and no judging yourself . So much of what happens in rehearsal and performance is about confidence before it is about skill. We therefore need to get confidence right first and then technique or skill. Allow me to call you a master-puppeteer who creates magic through the children. As an enabler you provide the children with tricks that help them to do justice to their characters and to the play as a whole. You put one in a costume, stimulate their imagination and suddenly they act differently - you have given them a license to do so. You take a coloured lipstick and paint a girls cheeks and they are immediately transformed.

You take five narrators and ask each one to choose a breed of dog that they like. You then ask each one how their dog barks. They then say their speech as that dog would if it could speak. Suddenly you have variety in the narrators. So, you dont impose things on the children but you draw it out of them. When they own it, they will do justice to the character and they will deliver the dialogue in a special way, instead of just reciting it.

THE SET THE WORLD

OF THE PLAY

Simply stated stay simple. Use what you have and stop stressing and moaning about what you dont have. There might be a parent in the school or an artist in the community who might create magic for you in designing a set or a backdrop. If not, use things that suggest the world of the play and the audience will fill in the gaps. A steering wheel is the whole vehicle if you create and believe that illusion. Different carpets on the floor are different rooms to the audience. If you create a world for us as the audience and you are consistent with that world from the beginning to the end it becomes our reality and we will travel the journey with you.

IMAGINE
Let me challenge you to do your best to Imagine from your very first reading of these scripts. I think you will find it more exciting to create what you see in your mind through the childrens imagination.

Enjoy

HORNS ONLY!
This is a story written by Gcina Mhlophe, Fathima Dada and Leoni Hofmeyr. In this story, the animals with horns have been excluding animals without horns from their parties.Through the story, they learn that accepting differences is a good thing and that being included should not depend on what you look like. This is a simple drama that can be used with younger children. You can make the cast as big as or as small as you like, by adding in or taking out animal roles. Feel free to add in additional speaking parts as you need for your group. English

Characters:
Zebra Monkey Rhino Narrators A girl who can dance well. She is wearing a striped top. You would probably cast the class clown for this role. Also a very good dancer. This one is the bouncer-type. They depend on their strength to bully others but they are not smart intellectually. These are the storytellers. What helps is to have learners of different vocal qualities. The juxtaposition helps to give even the slow speaker a sense of individuality. Just like the narrators the strength of these characters lies in their individuality. Even someone with a stutter can be accommodated.

Animals

There is music playing, preferably music that requires a couple or a dance pair. Whilst the music plays Zebra and Monkey appear already dancing. The narrator speaks whilst the music and dance continues. Narrator 1 Welcome to the kingdom of the horns. This is a great kingdom where everyone is welcome everyone who has horns. You have your democracy. We have ours.

Narrator 2

Behind us are Zebra and Monkey. They are best friends. They eat together.They sing together. They dance together. I am sure that if they went to a dance competition like So you think you can dance they would be number 1. One day they saw other animals going to a party. It was going to be a great party. The celebrities and the TV cameras were going to be there. It was the party of the year.

Narrator 3

Music plays. The other animals come through. It is like walking on the red carpet at a big awards ceremony. The cameras are there. Zebra and Monkey try to get the attention of the VIPs. Zebra Rhino Monkey Rhino Zebra Monkey Zebra Monkey Zebra Monkey Zebra Monkey Zebra Monkey Excuse me sir! May we pleaaaase come in? Hey. Go away.Where is your invitation? Sorry sir we dont mind standing at the back. And where are your horns? Hm? Where? (No answer) Now get out of my way. (Proudly walks past). (Disappointed) Why were we born without horns? Why? (Suddenly brightening up) I have an idea! (Skeptical) Idea? Yes. Lets make our own horns You are crazy No, I am not. We can use sticks and plants. Excuse me!!!!! Come-on Zee, lets give it a try. (Resigns) Okay (Pulling Zebra out) Thats my friend.

The party music gets louder. The animals get into a big circle to dance. Monkey and Zebra come in rather hesitantly, their home-made horns on their heads. They slowly warm up to the spirit of the party. Before long there is a circle around them as they steal the limelight. In the process their horns fall off. The music comes to a sudden halt. Animal 1 Animal 2 Animal 3 Who gave these gatecrashers permission to come in here? Who let you in here? Yes. Where are their horns?

You think you can come in here with fake horns? Where is security? (Shouting) Security!!!!! English

Security comes in, mishandles Zebra and Monkey and they push them out. Animal 7 Okay everyone my apologies for the inconvenience. (Shouts) Music!!!!!!

The music comes back on. The animals try to dance but the fun is all gone. Eventually everyone is just standing and talking in groups. Some are even sleepy.The music gets softer. Animal 8 Animal 9 Animal 8 Animal 9 Animal 8 Animal 9 Animal 10 Animal 11 Guys, this party is booooring. Lets go sweetheart. No, please dont go. Should we change the music? No, the music is fine. Its the company I have problems with. I think we should call Zebra and Monkey back What? I mean we were not nice to them. Actually, why must they have horns anyway? Sure.Why? (Other animals echo the question:Yes, why. / Ja, why? Actually it does not make sense. / No sense at all / But why did we do it? You see, it does not make sense. Etc) (Shouting) Alright everybody time to do the right thing!!!! MUSIC!!!! Host disappears and reappears with Zebra and Monkey.They immediately take the floor and everyone applauds them and encourages them. Host (To the audience) By the way, you are also welcome to dance with us. No-one cares about horns anymore.

CAN LITTLE PIG FLY?

This drama will encourage your children to keep hoping and not give up. Perseverance, or not giving up, is part of hope.The story of Little Pig can help your children to learn to try and try again, in order to achieve what they hope for. It is a delightful story which can be used with younger children. Feel free to adapt the parts to suit the number of children in your group. If you have fewer children, you could easily combine some of the narrator parts.

Characters:
Narrators Narrators are storytellers. They have an opportunity to highlight their individuality even as they enjoy themselves telling the story. It helps to cast children who have different qualities physically and vocally. A clumsy-looking character who is wearing torn clothing. We need to see the character as someone who cannot achieve anything so that we can celebrate when they succeed. Pig has a squeaky voice that is possibly irritating to listen to. A physically large character with slow movements and a deep voice. Physically very tiny and able to run around easily. Speaks with a staccato quality. A child with a speech disorder would do this one quite well. The brightest shade facially. Goat has some springbok-leaps to his movement. As with narrators what is key is individuality in relation to the other animals. The dialogue can also be used to select the characters.

A pianist starts playing music. A NARRATOR rushes onto the stage. English Narrator 1 Ladies and gentlemen, fellow learners and everyone present here today. Allow me and my team to tell you a story - a story of hope. A story of a little pig that would not give up even though everyone around him did not give him a chance. Oh - here he comes. Enjoy... Music changes and PIG comes walking onto the stage. Pig is in a hurry wearing some overalls, work shoes and gloves to indicate hard work. Pig Hello? Hello? Is anyone awake? No one answers. When he disappears the other animals sneak onto the stage and laugh at Pig. Pig starts shouting again and the rest of the animals fall to the ground and pretend to be sleeping. Pig Hello? Hello? Well, I have things to do (Exits again). All the other animals get up with some giggles and comments: Old Goat Animal 1 Animal 2 Animal 3 Animal 4 Thank goodness hes gone. Its too early for his nonsense. Piggy-piggy-piggy!!! Who does he think he is? It is really too early ... He is crazy this one

They all stand on the fringe of the stage so that we believe they can see Pig but he cannot see them. Pig is humming to the music and now frantically collecting feathers from side-stage. Cow steps forward. Cow Pig Cow Pig Cow Pig What are you doing? Im trying to climb up onto the roof. Ive made some wings you see, and Im hoping to fly. You? Fly? Yes. Could you help and pass me those feathers? (Skeptical) No, this sounds like a very bad plan. But it might work

THE PARTY IT PAYS TO WAIT

This is a story written by Gcina Mhlophe that was inspired by her own childhood.The story of Madoda shows us that waiting for something we really want is not easy, but that it is worth it in the end.This is the value of self-control. You will need a few strong characters for the main parts of the story.The rest of the cast can be increased or decreased by including more or fewer people at the party. English

Characters:
Madoda Lunga This is one young man who loves his food. He has no patience at all. When he wants a thing he wants it now. He is a bit overweight. This is Madodas sensible cousin. Physically tiny but healthy. His voice is different to Madodas so that we have variety when they talk. He is patient and loving. She is a well of wisdom. Her speech is slow and she walks in a dignified manner. Her hair is grey. She has a good face and a dignified body. Her voice is mature compared to the children. Her clothes reflect her nationality. He is in his 40s. Often in his overalls because of his occupation or trade. He is a friendly man.

THE RUNNING SHOES

This story, like the one of the Little Pig who wanted to fly, teaches our children about the value of perseverance. Pauline had a goal to win the race so that she could keep the running shoes Mr Mokono lent her. The script could be used by a slightly older group once again, an effort has been made to introduce as many parts as possible so that everyone gets a turn to be included.

Characters:
Grandpa Pauline Mr. Mokono Narrators He is old, wise and a bit slow in movement. He is a lovable character. A curious and likeable girl. You would not necessarily see her as a winner but you are not surprised when she wins. A father-figure with a good heart. The narrators are the storytellers. They need to be unique taking their cues from the personality of the child. The more exciting and yet different from each other the better. These are your fast-talkers. It is as though they compete to speak the fastest. These ones show off with their bodies. They warm-up in such a manner that they can draw attention.

It all started three months ago when Pauline visited Mr. Mokonos shoe-store. You see, she had many pictures of runners in her bedroom and she looked at them every morning. She really, really wanted to be a runner. One Saturday morning Grandpa asked Pauline Do you want to come to town with me? Yes Grandpa She enjoyed going to town with Grandpa. Mr. Mokonos shop smelled different from other shops. Pauline liked the mixed smells of leather, shoe polish and glue. There were mens shoes, womens shoes, childrens shoes, old shoes and new shoes. (Confiding in the audience) And then ... and then Pauline saw a pair of running shoes on the counter. She moved closer ..., she looked at them ..., she looked at her bare feet ..., she looked at them again ...Then she thought These are the right size ... they can fit me PERFECTLY ...With that thick springy sole I can run anywhere ... I wish I could have them!!!! When it was Grandpas turn to be served Pauline pointed at the running shoes. Do you want to hear a secret? These running shoes belonged to a great runner from long ago. Her name was Zola Budd. Wow! Wow! I cant believe this. My mother told me about her. Are you sure Mr. Mokono? One hundred percent. She bought them and thought she would like them. But then she decided to carry on running with no shoes. Thats why I have them. But I believe they are magic and they are just waiting for the right person. (Aside) Pauline could not take her eyes off the running shoes. She asked Grandpa to buy them for her, but Grandpa told her he did not have enough money to buy them. She was disappointed.

YOUNG LION & LITTLE BROWN MONKEY

This story, written by Tshepo Mokono, focuses on the value of honesty, and the importance of listening to the little voice in our heads which tells us to do the right thing. It is set for an older age group than the previous dramas. In order to even out the speaking parts, and give as many children as possible the opportunity to perform, we have used a device where the narrator acts as if he/she is the main character, whilst telling the audience what happened.This requires a bit of a stretch of the imagination, and additional props might help the narrators to switch roles as required. Of course, if you would prefer to keep the role to one character, that would be fine too.

Characters:
Kgosana A learner known as the class clown would do well here. The first few seconds of walking onto the stage can be filled with some funny moments. A regal being with lots of dignity. This is a young person with a taste for fancy clothing and bling. He / She likes being looked at and does not like competition.Very jealous. A Cinderella the opposite of Prince. Humble and gifted singer. An ordinary character who might be slightly chubby. This is perhaps the most athletic look. Might even be dressed in a track suit. It would help if this one could be dressed in Pantsula clothes. They are considered to be sly but they are surprisingly good-hearted.

Narrators

Kgosana the kings messenger quietly walks onto the stage. He looks around to check if anyone is watching. The king is sitting on the stage so he can observe the action until his moment. Kgosana pulls a vuvuzela from under his coat and blows it very loud. The characters appear running in all directions. Each one is desperately trying to beat the rest. There is cheating here and there. Exhaustion also sets in. In the end it is Mangi at the front of the queue. Prince Young Lion buys and cheats his way to the second position and then the rest follow. (The rest of the cast are frozen during this exchange) Prince Mangi Prince Mangi Prince Mangi Prince Mangi Prince Ks-Ks! Monkey! Yoh! Ek s! Listen, do you want a cell-phone? No. Haai man! I am not selling it. Do you want it mahala? Mahala? Well! Maybe in exchange for a little favour you know! Little? Ja, you know? Me first, you second? Ha Prince! Look, I will set you up man. I will talk to my dad. We will give your dad a licence to own taxis. And we will give you a bursary to go to university. Sorry. (Bitterly) Fine. Stupid as always. You will die poor I tell you.

Mangi Prince

Narrator a typical gossip is on the side. He always finds a way to comment on the action. He is unseen by the characters. Narrator 1 Serves him right. Why must rich people always get what they want? Mangi got him. You are late, you are late. Fair is fair.

23

English

The narrators are the storytellers. They need to be unique taking their cues from the personality of the child. The more exciting and yet different from each other the better.When they play as Prince they will need some sort of device to show this perhaps a mask.

Me, I will get a VIP seat when Mangi performs in America.

Narrator 1

Prince is pacing on stage. He kicks anything in his way. He is bitter and angry. Narrator 2 Yoh! Prince was angry very angry. I heard him talking to himself saying What a waste. What a waste! How can you give a gold ring to a monkey. Really? No. He was so angry he did not even see Piggy near him. Prince!!... Prince!!! ...PRINCE!!!!! Whats wrong? You dont know whats wrong? No. Can you imagine yourself at the big theatre in Cape Town or Johannesburg? Yoh! That would be fantastic. Fantastic yes. Now imagine the king had given the music gift bottle to you hey! You not that ugly thing. You must go and steal it from her But she deserved it. What? Maar prince, I dont like it when people steal from me. I dont want to steal from others too. Okay. If you say so. I have never seen Prince so angry. I am telling you. Later on that day he met Springbok. Here is what happened I will be Prince, okay? (Suddenly gets very sulky) Hallo sweety!

How can he give such an expensive gift to such an ugly monkey? But Mangi was number 1 Close your eyes. Please, close your eyes. (She Does) Imagine, December 31 - New Years eve! Five thousand people Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to present to you the one and only SPRINGEEEEEEER!!!! The crowd shouts Springer!!! Springer!!! Springer!!! Springer!!! But instead of it being you, it is that ugly monkey. (Opening his/her eyes) Im sorry Prince. I think good things are always worth waiting for. A whole year? 365 days waiting whilst monkey becomes famous? I think its worth waiting for your turn in life. Bye. (Again becoming narrator) Somehow Prince seemed to understand. He thought to himself Ja, maybe you are right. I think I should wait for next year. English

Narrator 4

So, Prince continued to walk home. It was hard. He was disappointed. Jackie you know the jackal type? He suddenly ran into Prince very excited. (Whispering to the audience) This is what happened. Dont say you heard it from me because Prince would be angry with me. (Rather excited) Yoh Prince my man! How are you my brother from another mother? Ho-hooooo Jackie my man! Uyiskhokho! There is no match for you I tell you. The only thing that is missing is the voice, and I know how you can get it. Please tell me how? Why dont you sneak into Mangis house and steal that bottle? One sip and you will be the hit at the music awards. Steal?

Noooo! Not steal. Just take it when he cant see you. But everyone will be surprised that suddenly I, Jackie can sing so well. You know me I am so useless I even whistle out of tune.

They laugh heartily and go their separate ways. Narrator 5 That night Prince put on his running shoes and ran to the monkeys house. He waited until all the other monkeys had gone home and Mangi was fast asleep. He crept in and stole the gift. It was his now.

Prince appears on stage. He runs by a few times and then the other characters stand frozen upstage and keep repeating their advice. Prince keeps trying to avoid them but the words stop him. Piggy Mangi Jackie I dont like it when people steal from me. Its not fair. I dont want to steal from others too. Good things are always worth waiting for. Its worth waiting for your turn in life. Give Mangi a chance.We cant all sing. Prince walks to one side of the stage slowly. He is taking the gift back. Narrator 5 Prince took the gift back. As he went back home, his heart felt light and his feet felt freer freer than he had felt the whole day. (Starts applauding) Well done Prince!

Prince goes to the front of the stage and bows. The rest of the cast follow him.

DIE PARTYTJIE DIT HELP OM TE WAG

Die storie is geskryf deur Gcina Mhlophe en was geinspireerd deur haar eie kindertyd. Die storie van Madoda wys vir ons dat om vir iets wat ons regtig wil h te wag, nie altyd maklik is nie, maar dat dit ten einde die moeite werd is. Dis die waarde van selfbeheersing. Jy sal 'n paar sterk karakters nodig h vir die hoofrolle van die storie. Die res van die rolle kan verminder of vermeerder word deur meer of minder mense by die partytjie in te sluit.

Karakters:
Madoda Lunga Dis 'n jong seun wat hou van sy kos. Hy het geen geduld nie. As hy iets dit wil h, wil hy dit nou h. Hy is 'n bietjie oorgewig. Hy is Madoda se neef. Fisies klein maar gesond. Sy stem is anders as die van Madoda sodat ons verskeidenheid kan h wanneer hulle praat. Hy is geduldig en liefdevol. Sy is 'n wyse ou dame. Haar spraak is stadig en sy beweeg op 'n statige manier. Haar hare is grys. Sy het 'n mooi gesig en 'n waardige liggaam. Haar stem is volwasse in vergelyking met die van die kinders. Haar kleredrag reflekteer haar nasionaliteit. Hy is in sy 40's. Die meeste van die tyd in sy oorpak as gevolg van sy beroep of ambag. Hy is 'n vriendelike man. Net soos die vertellers is die karakters verskillend van mekaar om vir ons 'n verskeidenheid van persoonlikhede te gee. Party is energiek. Party is lui. Afrikaans

DIE HARDLOOPSKOENE
Net soos die storie van die klein varkie wat wou vlieg, leer hierdie storie kinders oor waardes en uithou. Pauline het 'n doel gehad om die resies te wen sodat sy die hardloopskoene wat Meneer Mokono vir haar geleen het te kon hou. Die teks kan deur 'n effens ouer groep gebruik word weereens is probeer om soveel moontlike spelers in te sluit sodat elkeen 'n kans kan kry om deel te neem.

Karakters:
Oupa Pauline Hy is oud en wys en 'n bietjie stadig. Hy is 'n dierbare karakter. 'n Nuuskierige, innemende meisie. Jy sal haar nie maklik as 'n wenner beskou nie maar jy is ook nie verbaas as sy wen nie. Die vertellers is die storievertellers. Hulle moet uniek wees. Hulle moet leiding neem van die kind. Hoe meer opwindend en tog verskillend van mekaar, hoe beter. Hulle praat vinnig. Dis asof hulle met mekaar kompeteer oor wie die vinnigste praat. Hulle wys hul liggame af.Wanneer hulle opwarm trek hulle aandag.

Mnr. Mokono 'n Vaderfiguur met 'n goeie hart. Vertellers

Aanbieders Atlete

Die toneelstuk begin met atlete wat opwarm vir 'n resies. Hulle strek, hardloop rond, fokus, elkeen op sy unieke manier, vasberade om te wen. Pauline, Oupa en Meneer Mokono lewer hulle dialoog soos gelei deur die vertellers. Hulle is in 'n ander area as die atlete.

Dit het alles drie maande gelede gebeur toe Pauline Meneer Mokono se skoenwinkel besoek het. Julle sien, Pauline het baie prente van hardlopers teen haar kamermuur gehad. Elke oggend het sy na die prente gekyk. Sy wou so graag net soos haar helde 'n hardloper wees. Een Saterdagoggend vra Oupa vir Pauline: Wil jy saam met my dorp toe gaan? Ja Oupa. Sy het daarvan gehou om saam met haar oupa dorp toe te gaan. Meneer Mokono se winkel het anders geruik as ander winkels. Pauline het van die gemengde reuk van leer, skoenpolitoer en gom gehou. Daar was skoene vir mans, skoene vir vrouens, skoene vir kinders, ou skoene en nuwe skoene. En toe ... en toe sien Pauline 'n paar hardloopskoene op die toonbank staan. Sy het nader beweeg ... sy het daarna gekyk ... en toe na haar kaal voete ... en toe weer na die skoene ... toe dink sy. Hierdie is die regte grootte. Hulle sal my perfek pas ... met hulle sal ek oral kan hardloop ... ek wens ek kan hulle kry. Toe dit Oupa se beurt is om gehelp toe word, wys Pauline na die hardloopskoene.

Mnr. Mokono Wil jy 'n geheim hoor? Hierdie hardloopskoene het aan 'n beroemde hardloper behoort. Haar naam was Zola Budd. Pauline Ek kan dit nie glo nie. My ma het my van haar vertel. Is u seker Meneer Mokono?

Mnr. Mokono Een honderd persent. Sy het dit gekoop en gedink sy sal daarvan hou, maar toe besluit sy om aan te hou om kaalvoet te hardloop. Dis die rede hoekom ek hulle nou het. Ek het besluit dat hulle wonderskoene is en net vir die regte persoon wag. Verteller 5 [Eenkant] Pauline kon nie haar o van die hardloopskoene afneem nie. Sy vra toe vir Oupa om dit vir haar te koop maar Oupa s toe hy het nie genoeg geld by hom nie. Sy was so teleurgesteld.

Mnr. Mokono Wil jy dit h? (Sy knik 'ja'). Is jy seker? (Sy knik haar kop weer 'ja' amper in trane). Goed, dan het ek 'n plan. Jy mag die skoene leen en as jy 'n resies by die skool se sportdag wen, kan jy dit hou.

Elke keer wanneer sy gehardloop het, het sy 'n bietjie vinniger en 'n bietjie verder gehardloop. In pouse tyd by die skool het sy tien keer om die speelgrond gehardloop. Na skool het sy saam met die jong tannies van die straat gaan hardloop. Die volgende oggend het sy saam met die sokkerspan gehardloop. Elke dag het sy sterker en sterker geword. Sy het nie opgehou nie en vinniger en vinniger geword. Die atletiekafrigter het Pauline se harde werk gesien. Hy het haar aangemoedig en haar gehelp. Sy was gereed vir die resies.

LEEUTJIE EN BRUIN APIE

Die storie wat deur Tshepo Mokono geskryf is, fokus op die waarde van eerlikheid en hoe belangrik dis is om na die 'klein stemmetjie' in ons kop te luister, wat vir ons vertel om die regte ding te doen. Dit is vir 'n ouer ouderdomsgroep as die vorige dramas bedoel. Om die spreekbeurte eweredig te verdeel en die meeste kinders die geleentheid te gee om deel te neem, het ons 'n manier gekry om die verteller te laat speel as of hy/sy die hoofkarakter is. Dit beteken dat die verbeelding regtig hier ingespan sal moet word en dat addisionele 'props' die vertellers sal help om rolle om te ruil soos benodig. Maar natuurlik, as jy verkies dat 'n karakter net een rol vertolk, is dit goed so.

Karakters:
Kgosana Die leerder wat bekend staan as die klasnar sal goed pas in die rol. Die eerste paar sekondes wat hy op die verhoog is kan gevul word met grappige oomblikke. 'n Koninlike wese met baie waardigheid. Dis 'n jong persoon wat van mooi klere en blinkgoed hou. Hy/Sy hou daarvan om aandag te trek en hou nie van kompetisie nie. Baie jaloers. 'n Aspoestertjie die teenoorgestelde van Prins. Nederige en talentvolle sanger. 'n Gewone karakter wat effens mollig is. Hierdie karakter het 'n atletiese beeld. Kan 'n sweetpak dra. Dit sal help as hierdie een Pantsula klere aanhet. Hulle word as skelm gesien maar kan verrassend goedhartig wees.

Die vertellers is die storievertellers. Hulle moet uniek wees. Hulle moet hul wagwoord van die persoonlikhede van die kinders kan neem. Hoe meer opwindend en tog verskillend van mekaar, hoe beter.Wanneer hulle as Prins speel sal hulle 'n soort manier moet vind om dit te wys dalk 'n masker.

Kgosana die koning se boodskapper loop stilletjies op die verhoog. Hy kyk rond om te sien of iemand hom dophou. Die koning sit op die verhoog sodat hy al die aksie kan sien tot nou toe. Kgosana haal 'n vuvuzela onder sy jas uit en blaas dit baie hard. Dit lyk of die karakters in alle rigtings rondhardloop. Elke een probeer desperaat om die ander te wen. Daar is skelmstreke hier en daar. Hulle raak uitgeput. Aan die einde is Mangi voor in die ry. Prins Jong Leeu, koop en kroek sy weg na die tweede posisie en die res volg. (Die res van die spelers is gevries gedurende hierdie uitruiling.) Prins Mangi Prins Mangi Prins Mangi Prins Mangi Prins Psst-Psst Apie! Jis, ek s! Luister, wil jy 'n selfoon h? Nee. Haai man! Ek verkoop dit nie. Ek gee dit vir jou? Gratis. Gratis? Wel, miskien in ruil vir 'n klein gunsie, jy weet! Klein? Ja, jy weet? Ek eerste, jy tweede. Ha Prins! Kyk, ek wil jou help. Ek sal met my pa praat. Ons sal vir jou pa 'n lisensie gee om taxis te besit. En ons sal vir jou 'n beurs gee om universiteit toe te gaan. Jammer man. (Verbitterd) Goed. Onnosel soos altyd. Julle sal arm doodgaan, ek s jou. Verteller 'n tipiese geskinder eenkant. Hy vind altyd 'n manier om op die aksie kommentaar te lewer. Hy word nie deur die karakters gesien nie. Verteller 1 Dit kom hom toe. Hoekom moet ryk mense altyd kry wat hulle wil h? Mangi het hom. Jy is laat, jy is laat. Bilik is bilik. Afrikaans

Prins stap op en af op die verhoog. Hy skop na alles in sy pad. Hy is verbitterd en kwaad. Verteller 2 Joe, Prins was darem kwaad. Ek het hom met homself hoor praat. Ag nee, wat 'n mors van goeie goed! Hoe kan jy vir 'n aap 'n goue ring gee? Nee regtig. Hy was so kwaad dat hy nie eens vir Varkie daar naby gesien het nie . Prins!.... Prins!.... PRINS!!!

Ek dink dis altyd die moeite werd om vir goeie dinge te wag. 'n Hele jaar? 365 dae moet ek wag terwyl aap beroemd raak? Ek dink dis die moeite werd om vir jou kans in die lewe te wag. Totsiens. Afrikaans (Verteller is weer verteller) Op 'n manier het dit gelyk of Prins verstaan. Hy het vir homself gedink. Ja, miskien is jy reg. Ek dink ek moet maar vir volgende jaar wag. Prins het huis toe geloop. Dit was moeilik. Hy was teleurgesteld. Jackie jy weet die jakkalstiepe? Hy ontmoet toe skielik vir Prins hy was baie opgewonde. (Hy fluister vir die gehoor) Dit is wat gebeur het. Moenie s julle het dit van my gehoor nie want Prins gaan baie kwaad wees vir my. (Baie opgewonde) Joe, Prins! Hoe gaan dit met my broer van 'n ander moeder? Joe Jackie, daar is nie 'n gelyke vir jou nie, ek s jou. Al wat kortkom is die stem en ek weet hoe jy dit kan kry. Vertel my asseblief hoe. Hoekom sluip jy nie in Mangi se huis in en steel daardie bottel nie? Een sluk en volgende jaar kan jy nommer een wees by die musiek toekennings.

Steel? Neeeee! Nie steel nie.Vat dit net wanneer sy jou nie kan sien nie. Maar almal sal verbaas wees as ek, Jackie, skielik mooi kan sing. Jy ken my. Ek is so pateties, ek kan nie eens noot hou wanneer ek fluit nie. Hulle lag te lekker en gaan elkeen hulle eie pad.

Verteller 5

Daardie aand trek Prins sy hardloopskoene aan en hardloop na aap se huis toe. Hy het gewag tot al die ander apies huis toe is en Mangi vas aan die slaap was. Hy kruip toe in en steel die geskenk. Dit was nou syne.

Prins verskyn op die verhoog. Hy hardloop 'n paar keer verby terwyl die ander karakters gevries op die verhoog staan en hulle advies herhaal. Prins hou aan om hulle te ignoreer maar die woorde stop hom in sy spore. Varkie Mangi Jackie Ek hou nie daarvan as iemand van my steel nie. Dis nie bilik nie. Ek wil ook nie van ander steel nie. Dis altyd die moeite werd om vir goeie dinge te wag. Dis die moeite werd om vir jou kans in die lewe te wag. Gee vir Mangi 'n kans. Ons kan nie almal sing nie. Prins loop stadig na die een kant van die verhoog. Hy neem die geskenk terug. Verteller 5 Prins het die geskenk teruggeneem.Toe hy terugstap huis toe voel sy hart lig en sy voete voel vryer vryer as wat hy die hele dag gevoel het. (Begin hande klap).Wel gedaan Prins!!!

Prins gaan staan voor op die verhoog en buig. Die res van die spelers volg hom.
