THE WOWEL DRAGON

The Wawel dragon.

"THE WAWEL DRAGON"

      Once upon a time, in Cracow, there lived the king with his daughter, a beautiful princess. They lived in a castle, next to the Vistula river. The castle was  on a hill calledtheWawel  hill.Everybody in Cracow was happy and they  liked  their king.

      One day a fire-breathing dragon came to Cracow. He found a cave at the bottom of the Wawel hill for his house. The dragon was huge and it was always very hungry. Every day he came to the fields and ate  the sheep, cows and other farm animals. Soon, people started  to put their animals in their houses so the dragon got hungry and very angry. The dragon flew to the house and he said “Give me your animals!” The people in the house were so scared that they ran  away. Then, the dragon breathed fire,  burnt down the house and ate all the animals. 

The next day the people of Cracow went  to the king.“Our master,  you have to do something” they Soon we will have no animals for the dragon”.The king answered  “The brave man who can kill the dragon, will marry my daughter and I will give them the half of my kingdom. Soon everyone in the kingdom knew the good news. 

Many brave knights came from far away to kill the dragon but they couldn’t win. Soon there were no more brave knights to kill the beast.

“ What will I do now ?” said the king. Just then, there was a knock at thedoor.Enter”saidthekingandtheyoungshoemakerwalked  in.                               I will kill the dragon” said the shoemaker.                        “But you are just a shoemaker. How can you kill the dragon?”                        “ I am only the shoemaker but I am clever and I will kill the dragon if you give me some wool and sulphur”.

The king gave wool and sulphur to the shoemaker. In the evening the shoemaker put the sulphur in the wool and started sewing. When he finished, it looked  like a sheep.  At night he put it outside the dragon’s cave.

When the dragon woke  up, he was hungry. He went outside and saw the sheep. “Oh, breakfast for me” he thought . He ate the sheep. The sulphur went into his tummy. The dragon became  very thirsty. He ran to the river, he drank  and drank but he was still thirsty. So he drank more and more and got bigger and bigger until“BANG”                 .The dragon burst like a big balloon. 

“Hurray !!! Bravo for the clever shoemaker” shouted the people of Cracow .

The shoemaker married the princess and the king gave them the half of the kingdom. And all the people of Cracow lived happily ever after. 

PATUFET

PATUFET
"Patim, patam, patum,
homes i dones del cap dret.
Patim, patam, patum,
no trepitgeu al Patufet!”

N1: Be quiet! We have to be careful now. If some
day you ever hear this song please, watch where
you step, because it means Patufet is close by.

"Patim, patam, patum,
homes I dones del cap dret
Patim, patam, patum,
no trepitgeu al Patufet!”

Girl 1: - Do you hear him?

Girl 2: - Where could he be?

GirI 1: – I don't see him

Girl 2: - Now do you see him?

Girl 1: – No! I don’t!

N1: Poor Patufet! He always has to go around singing,
for fear that someone will accidentally step
on him and crush him. Since he's as small as a pea,
people naturally don't see him and that's a danger.
That's why he always goes around singing

N1: Patufet lives with his father and mother. He's
very sweet and a hard worker.

N2: One day his mother was busy making lunch when
she realized that she was out of salt.

Mum: – Oh No! I don’t have any salt!

Patufet: - Mum, I'll buy some salt for you.

N1: But his mother was afraid about letting him go
to the shop alone, because he was so small and
someone couldn’t see him and accidentally step on.
But Patufet begged and cried and stamped his
feet, insisting that she let him go to buy the salt.
His mum was soon so tired of hearing him that she
finally gave in a coin and told him he could go.

N2: Patufet put on his cap and headed out to the

shop very happy. You can be sure, he sang his song
as he rolled the coin along beside him:

"Patim, patam, patum,
homes I dones del cap dret
Patim, patam, patum,
no trepitgeu al Patufet!”

N2: Once in the shop, Patufet began calling out as
loudly as he could:  

Patufet: Can I have a package of salt please?

N2: The shopkeeper looked right and left, high and
low and there was no one in sight. Tired of searching
around, she finally asked:

Shopkeeper: - Who's that shouting? I don't see anyone!

Patufet: - Don't you see me. It's me, Patufet and I
want a packageof salt.

N1: The shopkeeper looked all around again until
her eyes fell on a coin that was moving around on
the floor. But she couldn't see who the coin belonged
to and who was asking her for a package of
salt.

N2: Finally, the shopkeeper decided to pick up the
coin and leave the package of salt in its place.

N1: Patufet picked up the package of salt and left
the shop singing: (people walking)

"Patim, patam, patum,
homes I dones del cap dret
Patim, patam, patum,
no trepitgeu al Patufet!”

N2: When he arrived home safely with the salt his
mother was very happy and she congratulated him.

N1: So, the next day…

Patufet: – Mum! Can I bring father’s lunch at work?
Pleaseee!

Mum: - No, because the basket is too big for you
to carry.

Patufet: – Please mum, I’m very strong! You know!

N1: When his mother saw that he could manage to
carry the basket without any problem, she agreed
to let him go.

"Patim, patam, patum,
homes I dones del cap dret
Patim, patam, patum,
no trepitgeu al Patufet!”

N2: When, he was on the way to the factory where
his father worked, it began raining cats and dogs.

N1: So, the first thing he thought to do was to
hide under a nearby cabbage plant to shelter himself
from the rain. But right then, a bull came
along and in one single bite it ate the cabbage
and with the cabbage it ate Patufet.

N1: In the meantime, his father was becoming impatient
for his lunch, which wasn't arriving.

N2: After a few minutes he decided to go home and
see what was happening.

Dad: – Hello!

Mum: – Hi! What are you doing here? Didn't Patufet
bring you your lunch?

Dad: – Noooo, he didn’t…

N1: So, Patufet’s parents began to worry, wondering
where Patufet was. They took each others' hands
and they decided to go out in search of him.

N1: Once outside, they were calling out:

Mum and Dad: - Patufet, where are you? Patufet,
where are you?

Patufet: - I'm in the bull's tummy, where it's not
rainy or sunny!

N1: But his father and mother couldn't hear him.
And they went this way and that way calling out:
Mum and dad: - Patufet, where are you? Patufet,
where are you?

Patufet: - I'm in the bull's tummy, where it's not
rainy or sunny! When the bull passes gas, then I'll
come out at last!!!

Mum and dad: - Patufet, where are you? Patufet,
where are you?

Patufet: - I'm in the bull's tummy, where it's not
rainy or sunny! When the bull passes gas, then I'll
come out at last!!!

N2:lots of gasssssssssssssssssss... And Patufet shot out
at last!

"Patim, patam, patum,
homes I dones del cap dret
Patim, patam, patum,
no trepitgeu al Patufet!”

N1: Shhhhht! Be very quiet for a moment, please! I
don't hear anything now. Patufet has gone and now
I can carry on walking.

N2: Remember that! When you hear that tune:

"Patim, patam, patum,
homes I dones del cap dret
Patim, patam, patum,
no trepitgeu al Patufet!”
