Sõmeru Põhikool

Sõmeru Põhikool is the small basic school in North-Estonia nearby town Rakvere.The first notice about foundation of school in Sõmeru deriver’s form 19th century, which was report to the Consistory of Estonian Evangelical Lutherian Church of the Rakvere county Rev. A. N. Winkler in December 8th 1801. So far it is not known which the building was where children gathered or who teachers were during the next 62 years. Definitely researchers reach to the documents, which add more facts and information relating to this period.School started to work in Sõmeru, since 1863 it has been in Aluvere. In official documents it was named as Bauerschule unter Neu-Sommerhusen in Dorfe Allofer. Since the time of the Republic of Estonia Aluvere Primary School has been listed in the Viru County schools . During the times the name was changed a couple of times. The new schoolhouse was built for 540 students in 1988. At the moment there are 24 teachers, 12 ensembles of classes and 182 students in Sõmeru Põhikool. From the 1st of September 2006 school got back part of our historical name – Sõmeru Põhikool. Schoolhouse was totally renovated during 2004-2008 and now we have nice and colourful learning environment for children.

Korpuskóli

Korpuskóli is a small school in a suburb of the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik. We have a community of 180 students and 31 staff members. The children are from 6 to 12 years old. Korpuskóli was founded 1999 and the first 6 years our school house was an old farm. We moved in the new building in october 2005.

From the beginning we have been working on various development projects such as variety of teaching methods, induvidual learning, multiage grouping and team teaching.

In Korpuskóli we use team teaching. Team of teachers are responible for pupils teaching and learning. Pupils learn individually and in groups in consideration to their abilities and their maturity. Two age groups work together and in each group are 40-60 pupils and two or three teachers. We emphasise diverse teaching methods, creation, initiative, use of computers and development and innovative working methods.

Istituto Comprensivo “Centro Storico” di Firenze

The school is a compulsory school and we accept pupils from 3 to 14 y.o. It is divided in four buildings (Serristori, Vittorio Veneto, Cairoli and Carducci) wich hosts children from different ages and in different number: Serristori, a little kindergarden, has 4 teachers and 42 children; Vittorio Veneto, a primary and kindergarden at the same time, has 38 teachers and around 400 children; Cairoli, a primary, with 150 pupils and 18 teachers and, last but not least, the lower secondary Carducci, with 541 pupils and 39 teachers. Our differences made our richness! Our schoolchildren, mainly from the city centre, are multicultural and for us, facing such diversity, this is a big and stimulating issue! At the same time we are in a very lucky position, so we can visit the fantastic Florence city centre and, at the same time, enjoy the century gardens that some of our schools have.

The curricula come from the Ministery, but we manage to find a creative approach, mixing children from the primary with seconday pupils, teaching themselves to the littles or the opposite way round... Johnny was another excuse to ask for help and to decrease distances from the teens to the children!Learning is an active approach!

Jussikese 7 sõpra

Tegelased:JussikePääsukeRüütelTarvasJänesSiilKalevipoegVana ToomasLaulutaatJutustaja

1.piltJutustaja: Elas kord väike Jussike, kes üle kõige armastas arvutimänge mängida. Kohe, kui ta koolist koju jõudis, istus ta arvuti taha ja hakkas klahve klõbistades koletisi taga ajama, vaenlastega võitlema ja seiklema. (Süttib hämar valgus, lavaäärel arvuti, kostab arvutiklahvide klõbin.)

Jussike: Anna talle! Mine juba! Said nüüd! Oh sa poiss! Küll ma su kätte saan!(Klahviklõbin ja repliigid vaheldumisi.)

Jutustaja: Nii möödusid arvutimaailmas tema päevad ja kuud kuni jõudis kätte suvi. Ühel päeval, mil Jussike tundis, et tal ekraanivirvendusest juba silmad valutavad, tõusis ta arvuti tagant, ringutas ja sirutas end ning avas akna. (Täisvalgus, linnulaul. Pääsuke lendab aknast mööda mitu korda.)

Pääsuke: Vidiit! Vidiit! Kes sina oled siin?

Jussike: Mina olen Jussike, aga kes sina oled?

P: Kas sina mind tõesti ei tunne?

J: Oot-oot! Ma olen su pilti arvutis Eesti kodulehel näinud – sa oled Eesti rahvuslind suitsupääsuke.

P: Just-just! Mina olen pääsuke, Eesti rahvuslind! Aga mida tarka seal sinu helendava kasti sees veel on?

J: Tule, lenda tuppa, ma näitan sulle! (Pääsuke lendab tuppa.)

J: Oota, ma panen selle koletiste tulistamise ja tagaajamise mängu kinni ja vaatame internetis ringi, mis uudist.P: Vidiit! Vaata siit! Mis veidrad linnud need on?

J: Mis linnud? Kus? Kas sa mõtled seda linnumustrit siin vilkuva reklaami peal?

P: Jajah!

J: Siia on kirjutatud: Tulge laulu- ja tantsupeole Tallinnasse!

P: Oi, laulda mulle meeldib! Ilma lauluta pole elu midagi väärt. Ja kui lõbusad on alati need inimesed, kes muusika järgi tantsuringis keerutavad! Tore oleks seda pidu ise näha... Mis sa arvad, Jussike? Lähme vaatame, kuidas seda pidu peetakse? Vidiit!Vidiit! Hakkame minema siis!

J: ( pomiseb omaette) Võiks jah siit toast välja minna natuke ringi vaatama ja miks mitte peole... Näha inimesi laulmas ja tantsimas, mitte uurida Internetist mingit YouTubi pisikest videopilti... (Pöördub pääsukese poole) Aga ma ei tunne ju teed ja kuidas ma üksi... Mul pole ühtegi sõpra ka, keda kaasa kutsuda – kõik poisid istuvad ju ninapidi arvutis...

P: Ära muretse, mina võin sulle sõbraks olla. Läheme koos! Alati saab ju teed küsida!J: Lähme siis! Aga oota natuke, kirjutan emale-isale kirjakese.(Jussike kirjutab trükitähtedega sedeli:“ Läksin Tallinnasse laulupeole“ ja kinnitab selle lava ääre külge. Jussike ja pääsuke lahkuvad.)

2.pilt (Lavakujunduses eemalt paistvad Vallimäe ordulinnuse varemed. Tulevad Jussike ja pääsuke.)J: Kuhu küll minna? Kas vasakule või paremale? Kas Tallinn on veel kaugel?

P: Vaata sinnapoole, Jussike! Lähme vaatame, ehk leiame sealt linnusevaremete juurest kedagi, kes teaks meile teed juhatada.(Vastu tuleb habemik ordurüütel, valge punase ristiga vest seljas, peas kiiver ja vööl mõõk.)

J: Tere, rüütlihärra! Sina pead siin kõrgel künkal linnusemüüridel vahti. Kas sa oskad meile Tallinnasse laulu- ja tantsupeole teed juhatada?

Rüütel: Olen jah kuulnud, et Tallinnas on suur pidu tulemas, aga mul on praegu üks tähtis töö vaja ära teha ja mul pole aega teile teejuhiks tulla. Töötan siin Vallimäe linnuses

muuseumivalvurina ja pean kell 12 kahurist Rakvere linna pika ajaloo auks pauku laskma. Kell saab kohe-kohe 12 ja mul on veel kahur laadimata, ehk tuleksite mulle appi!P: Vidiit-vidiit! Mina kardan pauku ja põgenen siit! (Lendab eemale).

J: Ära väga kaugele lenda! Kuulsid ju, Rüütel tuleb meile teed juhatama!Lavale on ilmunud kahur Ööbik, Rüütel on kätte võtnud kahuri toppimise nuia ja püssirohutopsi. Askeldavad Jussikesega natuke aega ümber kahuri ja lõpuks käibki pauk konfettidega täidetud paugutajast. Kui suits on hajunud, tuleb pääsuke tagasi lavale.

P: Huh! Mis hirmsaid asju inimesed küll on välja mõtelnud!

J: Ära nüüd enam värise, sõbrake, selles kahuris polnud ju kuuli sees ja keegi pihta ei saanud.

R: Just-just! Ei ole vaja enam karta!

J: Kas me saaksime nüüd juba teele asuda?

R: Õige küll! Lubasin teile ju teed näidata. Vaat lähme siit väravast välja ja keerame seda rada mööda pisut vasakule.(Kõnnivad üle lava, lavalt ära.)

3.pilt:(Laval kuldsete sarvedega Tarvas (nukk peaks saama pead liigutada) Tulevad Rüütel, Jussike ja Pääsuke.)R: Nonii, kaugemale mina ei saa tulla. Pean linnusesse oma vahipostile tagasi minema. Saage tuttavaks meie linna vapilooma Tarvaga! Tema näeb siit kõrgelt künkalt kaugele kõiki ümbruskonna teid. Kindlasti ka seda teed, mis Tallinna poole viib. (Lahkub.)

J: Tere, Tarvas! Tahan oma sõbra Pääsukesega Tallinnasse suurt laulu- ja tantsupidu vaatama minna, aga kumbki meist ei tunne teed. Tarvas: Või et kohe peole minek! Päris kadedaks teeb! Mina seisan siin üksi künka otsas ega pääse kuhugi...

P: Aga sa ei ole ju üksi – terve hulk inimesi just imetlesid sind siin ja pildistasid igast küljest enne kui me siia jõudsime.

Tarvas: Jah, need olid turistid. Neid tuleb siia tõesti hulgakaupa ja siis veel linnarahvas, kes Vallimäel jalutamas käib, aga nemad kõik tulevad ja lähevad. Pealegi olen nii suur, et keegi ei ulata isegi mu kõrvataguseid sügama ja mu kuldsed sarvedki on juba tuhmumas. Ehk saad sina, Jussike siia üles ronida ja mu sarved taas läikima lüüa, siis näitan teile teed Tallinna poole.

J: Muidugi saan!

P: Vidiit-Vidiit! Roni siit!(Jussike sügab tarvast kõrva tagant ja nühib ta sarvi.)J: No nüüd näed küll uhke välja!T: Suur tänu sulle, Jussike! Minge nüüd siit künkast alla ja hakake seda teed mööda astuma! Ja tagasiteel tulge taas minu juurest läbi, tahan teada, mida suurel peol kuulsite ja nägite.

J: Kindlasti tuleme! Nägemiseni!

P: Vidiit-vidiit! Nägemiseni siis!

4.pilt:(Jussike ja Pääsuke käivad kaks korda üle lava ja peatuvad)J: Me ei küsinudki Tarva käest, kui pikk tee on Tallinnasse ja kaua minek aega võtab. Ja see tee on juba mitu käänakut teinud... ei tea, kas otsem ei saaks...

P: Otse minnes jõuaks rutem pärale küll. Oota, ma lendan ühe tiiru kõrgemalt ja vaatan kuhupoole võiks minna.

(Pääsuke hüüab lava tagant.)P: Vidiit-vidiit! Siit künka tagant võiks minna otse läbi metsa ja siis jõekallast pidi uuesti maanteele. Saaksime päris otse siit. Vidiit-vidiit! Ilmub taas lavale. Lähme siis!

(Pääsuke ja Jussike kõnnivad mitu korda üle lava, vastu liiguvad erinevad puud. Viimaks piilub ühe puu tagant Jänes.)

Jänes: Kes teie olete ja kuidas te siia sattusite?

J: Mina olen Jussike ja see minu sõber Pääsuke. Otsustasime Tallinnasse suurele peole minna.

P: Ja nüüd otsime otseteed siit, vidiit!

J: Kas sina oskad öelda, kui palju maad veel Tallinnasse on?

Jä: Tallinnasse!? Mis see veel on?

J: Tallinn on Eestimaa pealinn, va rumal jänes! Suur linn, kus on palju maju ja inimesi ja...

P: ... ja sinna tuleb tuhandeid lauljaid ja tantsijaid üle Eestimaa kokku suurele peole.

Jä: Ei, sellest ei tea ma küll midagi... Aga ma nägin enne siili, tema on tark loom, äkki tema teab. Ta läks sinnapoole. Kui me kiiresti lippame, ehk jõuame talle järele ja saame tema käest küsida.

(Kõik kolm lähevad kiiresti näidatud suunas. Puud liiguvad taas neile vastu. Lõpuks jõutakse siilini.)

Jä: Siilike, oota! Oota nüüd ometi! Meil on su nõu ja abi vaja!

Siil: (Keerab end ringi hüüdja poole). Jänes, sina! Ja kes need veel on?

Jä: (ähkides) Mina jah! Oh, kui hea, et sulle järele jõudsime!!! Väledatest jalgadest on vahel kasu ka! Aga need on mu uued sõbrad, kel on nõu ja abi vaja.

J: Mina olen Jussike ja see minu sõber Pääsuke. Otsustasime Tallinnasse suurele peole minna.

P: Ja nüüd otseteed otsime siit, vidiit!

10

J: Kas sina, Siil, oskad öelda, kui palju maad veel Tallinnasse on?

S: Tallinnasse? Kas see on see suur linn mere ääres, kus on palju maju ja inimesi?

J: Vist küll...

S: Mereni on siit veel tükk maad, isegi siis kui otse minna.

Jä: Seda ma kartsin!

P: Jah, ega puude vahelt merd küll ei paista siit. Vidiit!. Aga loojuva päikese kuma näen küll juba, õhtu on peagi siin.

J: Mis nüüd saab?

S: Olete vist kaua juba teel olnud ja väsinud?

J: (Istub lavaäärele.) Jah, me oleme terve päeva kõndinud ja mu jalad on päris väsinud...

S: Mul on üks mõte, kuidas teid aidata. Siin lähedal, selle kuusetuka taga puhkab minu sõber Kalevipoeg jalgu. Ta käis Peipsi järve tagant laudu toomas ja puhkab nüüd reisiväsimust. Ta kõneles enne mulle, et viib lauakoorma Tallinnasse, kus seda kraami majade ehitamiseks palju vaja läheb. Usun, et tema saab teid küll aidata.

P: Väga hea mõte! Kuule Jussike, võta nüüd oma jõuvarud kokku ja lähme edasi! Kuulsid ju, Siil ütles, et Kalevipoeg on teel Tallinnasse! Lähme-lähme!

5.pilt:Lavaäärel pikutab ja norskab Kalevipoeg.S: Kuulete, seal see meie vägilane ongi.

P:( uurib magavat Kalevipoega) Ma pole nii suurt meest küll ealeski näinud!

J: No on alles pirakas!

Jä: Päris vägilane kohe!

S : (Siil ja Jänes raputavad magajat) Tõuse üles, Kalevipoeg! Sinu abi on vaja!

Kalevipoeg: (krapsab kiiresti püsti, enda ümber segaduses ringi vaadates) Kes vajab abi? Kus on vaenlase vägi?

S: Rahu, ainult rahu! Vaenlasi ei ole. Hoopis meie väikesed sõbrad vajavad abi. Vaata, siin on Jussike ja Pääsuke. Nad otsivad teed Tallinnasse ning on siin metsas juba terve päeva ringi ekselnud. Ehk saad sina neile õige tee kätte juhatada?

K: (Haigutades) Nojah, Tallinna teed ma ju tean küll aga ... (haigutab) ... praegu olen ma küll väga väsinud. Tulin ju Peipsi tagant suure lauakoormaga, ega see naljaasi pole neid tassida... viskasingi siis teised seljast maha ja jäin magama nagu nott. Näe nüüd hakkab juba pimedaks kiskuma, ei nüüd tule edasiminekust midagi välja... (haigutab)

S: Kalevipoeg, kallis Kalevipoeg, aga homme?

11

K: Homme hommikul tuleb mul tõesti endalgi Tallinna poole teele asuda, sest linnaehitajad juba ootavad minu lauakoormat. Asi see siis oleks väikesed sõbrad kaasa võtta. Aga te peate lubama, et aitate mul hommikul lauakoorma korralikult virna laduda, et saaksin selle endale selga tõsta, sest praegu vedelevad teised siin segamini risti-rästi.

J: Aga muidugi aitame.

K: No siis nii teemegi! Aga praegu viskame siiasamasse kuuse alla puhkama.

6.pilt: (Lavakujunduseks Tallinna siluett. Tuleb Kalevipoeg, lauakoorem seljas, selle otsas istub Jussike)

K: Näete, olemegi Tallinnas. Kohe jõuame Raekoja platsile. Ma panen oma lauakoorma nüüd ka maha. Roni alla, Jussike! (Viskab lauad seljast maha, sirutab selga ja ringutab ning vaatab ringi.) Teate sõbrad, siin, Raekoja torni otsas elab vana tuulelipp, linnavalvur Vana Toomas, kes teab neid linna asju paremini kui mina ja oskab teile näidata, kus seda suurt laulu- ja tantsupidu peetakse.(Hüüab kõvasti, ise üles vaadates)Hei, Vana Toomas!

(Tuleb Vana Toomas)Vana Toomas: Tere, Kalevipoeg! Mis tuuled sind Tallinnasse on toonud? Ja kes sinuga kaasas on?

K: Tere-tere, Vana Toomas! Näe, tõin linnaehitajatele koorma laudu, aga need on minu uued sõbrad Jussike ja Pääsuke, kes tulid linna, et oma silmaga laulu- ja tantsupidu näha.

P: Aga me ei tea täpselt, kus seda pidu peetakse...

J: ... ja siin linnas on nii palju maju ja tänavaid ja inimesi...

VT: Seda küll, siginat-saginat on siin palju – nüüd suure peo ajal eriti. Tallinna 400-le tuhandele elanikule lisandub veel 100 tuhat lauljat ja tantsijat üle terve Eestimaa. Kui te tahate peole jõuda, siis peame küll kohe minema hakkama, sest peoliste rongkäik hakkas juba paar tundi tagasi Lauluväljaku poole liikuma.

P: Oi, lähme siis ruttu!

J: Kalevipoeg, aitäh sulle, et meid linna tõid ja meile nii hea teejuhi leidsid! Kuulsid, me peame nüüd ruttama, et peole jõuda.

12

K: Minge-minge, sõbrakesed! Kui ehitajad oma lauad on siit ära viinud, ehk jõuan teile veel järelegi. Nägemiseni!

Jussike ja Pääsuke koos: Head-aega!Jussike, Pääsuke ja Vana Toomas lahkuvad lavalt ühele poole, Kalevipoeg teisele poole.

8.pilt:(Lavakujunduseks Lauluväljak. Laval istub Laulutaat Gustav Ernesaks. Tulijad peatuvad pisut eemal)

VT: No nii, olemegi kohal. See siin ongi Lauluväljak ja siin on juba 25.korda Eesti rahvas laulupidu pidamas.

J: Vaadake, kes seal istub!

VT: Oi Jussike, sa oled nüüd küll õige mehe leidnud -see seal on mees, kes laulupidudest palju rohkem teab kui mina. See on Laulutaat, eesti koorimuusika isa Gustav Ernesaks, kes on siin, Lauluväljakul paljusid laulupidusid juhatanud. (Pöördub Laulutaadi poole) Tere, Laulutaat!

Laulutaat: Tere-tere! Kas sa näed, isegi Vana Toomas on Raekoja tornist alla roninud ja peole tulnud! Rõõm sind näha! Ja kes need sinuga kaasas on?

VT: Need on Jussike ja Pääsuke, kes tulid esimest korda suurt pidu uudistama. Kalevipoeg tõi nad Tallinnasse ja mina juhatasin nad Lauluväljakule. Ega ma tegelikult vist peole jääda saa – pean oma vahipostile Raekoja torni tipus tagasi minema. Sa Laulutaat, võtad ehk mu sõbrad oma hoole alla.

L: Jah, muidugi! Mul on alati hea meel inimestest enda ümber.

VT: Siis on tore! Jääme nägemiseni, sõbrad! (Lahkub.)

J: Miks sa, Laulutaat, SIIN istud?

L: Vaata, Jussike – kui ma veel inimene olin, mitte kuju nagu praegu, olin ma koorijuht ja kirjutasin ise laule. Neid lauldi tihti ka siin, laulukaare all, kus tuhanded lauljad üldlaulupeol kokku said. Sellepärast pandigi mind kujuna siia Lasnamäe nõlvale istuma, et ma igavesti saaksin eesti laulupidudel silma peal hoida.

P: Aga mis sa siis teed, kui laulupidu läbi saab?

E: Laululava vaatan... igatsen inimeste ja muusika järele, sest üldlaulupeod toimuvad tõesti ainult iga viie aasta tagant. Siis on küll hiigelkoorid tuhandete lauljatega laval ja kogu lauluväljak pealtvaatajaist tulvil nagu täna. Õnneks tulevad vahepeal lapsed oma laulupidudele ja muusikud teevad oma kontserte.

13

J: Ja siis veel see laulupidu, mida „Märkamise ajaks“ kutsuti... Nägin Internetis selle peo reklaame, aga telekast kontserdi ülekannet vaadates jäin küll kohe magama, sest olin just enne seda arvutis kaks tundi kosmoselahingut mänginud ja silmad vajusid iseenesest kinni. Ema ja isa olid küll kella kaheni öösel teleka ees selle laulupeo ülekannet vaadanud ja kahetsenud, miks küll teekonda Lauluväljakule õigel ajal ette ei võtnud.

L: Usun küll, et paljudel inimestel Eestimaa kaugeimast paigust oli kahju, sest see märkamise laulupidu oli väga võimas, tõeline meie rahva ühtehoidmise ja järjepidevuse sümbol – nagu kõik meie laulupeod.

P: Te räägite siin laulupidudest, aga suure peo teine pool – tantsupidu – kus ja millal see siis toimub?

J: Seal laululava treppidel vist küll tantsida ei saa.

L: Ega saa küll. Tantsijate suur pidu toimub hoopis Kalevi staadionil linna teises otsas. Sinna peaksite küll homme minema.

P: Lähme, Jussike, eks! Vaatame tantsupidu ka siis! Vidiit!

E: Kindlasti minge! Tuhanded tantsijad on juba nädal aega seal staadionimurul kauni etenduse jaoks tantsusamme ja mustreid jaoks kokku harjutanud.

P: Kindlasti läheme!

J: Oi, kas laulupidu hakkab nüüd peale?

L: Jah, hakkab tõesti. Näe, sealt lähevad tõrvikukandjad tuletorni poole, et süüdata laulupeotuli. Ja vaadake, laululava on pilgeni rahvast täis! Kohe läheb peo üldjuht kooride ette dirigendipulti ja tõstabki taktikepi., et juhatada laulupeo traditsioonilist avalaulu. Kuulake!

Lindilt kõlab: „Laulud nüüd lähevad kaunimal kõlal...“(„Koit“)

Jutustaja: Jätame nüüd Jussikese ja Pääsukese laulupidu kuulama. Kui me vaataksime, kuidas Jussike pihud tuliseks plaksutas ja Pääsuke lauluviise kaasa vidistas, kuidas nad järgmisel päeval tantsupidu imetlesid, kuidas nad lõpuks väsinuna koduteele asusid, läheks meie etendus väga pikaks... Kindlasti on teil huvitav teada, et tagasiteel jutustasid nad oma toredaid peomuljeid ka Tarvale ning Jussikese emale ja isale. Sügisel aga jättis Jussike arvutimängud kus seda ja teist ning hakkas

hoolsalt Virumaa Poistekoori proovidel käima, et pääseda järgmisele laulupeole juba lauljana.

1.sceneStoryteller: Once upon a time there was a little Johnny, who mostly loved to play computer games. After getting home, he immediately sat in front of a computer and started pushing keys on the keyboard to catch monsters, fight with enimies and adventuring.

One day when Johnny felt that his eyes are aching of the colour of screen, he rised from the front of the computer, pandiculated, stretched out and opened the window)(full light, bird´s song. A swallow flies by window for a several time)

Swallow: Vidiit! Vidiit! Who are you here?

Johnny: I´m Johnny, but who are you?

S: Don´t you really know me?

J: Wait! Wait! I´ve seen your picture in the computer on the website of Estonia – you are the national bird of Estonia – chimney swallow

S: Right! Right! I am a swallow, the national bird of Estonia! But what interesting do you have in that luminous box?

J: Come, fly in! I´ll show you!(swollow flies into the house)Wait, I´m going to put that game of shooting monsters and hot pursuit off and let´s watch what new is on the Internet.

S: Vidiit1 Look there! What kind of strange birds are these?

J: What birds? Where? Do you think that birds pttern here on the flash screen?

S: Yes!yes!

J: It has been written here: „Come to the song- and dancefestival to Tallinn!“

S: Oh, I like singing! Without singing life has no worth. And how happy the people are who are wriggling by the music. It wold be nice to see this festival with my own eyes. What do you think, Johnny? Let´s go a nd see how they are parting. Vidiit! Vidiit! Let´s go!

J: (murmuring himself): we could go out to look around and why not to go to the party. T o see people singing and dancing, not explore some small videoclip in YouTube. (appeals to Swallow) I don´t know the way and how can I alone... I don´t have any friends who could join in. All guys sit in front of computers staring at screens.

S: Don´t worry! I can be your friend. Letś go together! We can always ask way!

J: Let´s go! Wait a little! I´ll write a letter to my mother and father. (Johnny is writing a letter:“I went toTallinn to a song festival“. He puts that on the skip. Johnny and swallow leave)

2.scene:(Rakvere Vallimägi – fortress ruins are in view. Johnny and Swollow are coming).

J: Where to go? To the left or to the right? Is Tallinn still far away?

S: Look at that way, johnny! Let´s check, maybe we can find somebody from the fortress ruins, who could tell us the way.

16

J: Hello, mister Knight! You are guard of the fortress up here, high on the hill. Could you tell us the way to Tallinn, to the song and dance festival?

Knight: Yes, I have heard, that a big festival is coming in Tallinn, but I need to do one importand job right now and I don´t have time to be a guide for you. I am working here, on Vallimägi hills as a museum keeper and I have to bang from the cannon in honour to remember the long history of Rakvere. It will be in a second and I still haven´t loaded the cannon. Maybe you can help me with that!

S: Vidiit!-Vidiit! I am afraid of banging, so I´ll better escape from here.

J: Don´t fly too far! You heard that Knight is going to tell us the way.(cannon owl has appeared on the stage. Knighttakes cannon tucking dub and a box of gunpowder. Bustlering a bit with Johnny around the cannon, finally the bang comes from the cannnon filled with confettes. When smoke has disappeared, swollow comes back to the stage)

S: Huh! What scary things people have thought out!

J: Don´t tremble any more, friend! There weren´t any bullets inside and none got nail down.

K: Right-right! There is no need to be scared any more.

J: Can we go now?

K: Right! I promised you to show the way. We are going out from that gate and then we´ll turn a bit left on this path.

3. scene:On the stage there is Tarvas with golden horns. Knight, Johnny and swollow come to the stage)K: Okay, I can´t come more further. I have to go back to the stronghold to my post. Make acquaintance with our city animal on the coat of arms – Tarvas. He sees every road in the neighbourhood from the top of the high hill. I am sure that he can see also this road, which goes to Tallinn.

J: Hello Tarvas! I want to go to Tallinn with my friend Swollow to the big song- and dancefestival, but non of us knows the way.

Tarvas: So you are going to the festival. It makes me jealous. I am standing here alone on the top of the hill and I can´t go anywhere.

S: but you are not alone – a lot of people just admired you and took pictures from every side of you before we got here.

T: Yes, they were tourists. They come here in crowds and also city people, who come to Vallimägi to walk, but they all come and leave. Besides, I am so big, that nobody can reach to scratch my ear backs and my golden horns are already tarnished. Maybe you, Johnny can climb up here and make my horns sparkle again! Then I can show you the way to Tallinn.

J: Ofcourse I can!

S: Vidiit-vidiit! Climb here!(Johnny scratches Tarvas´ear backs and rubs his hornes)

17

J: Now you look proud!

T: Thanks for helping me Johnny! Now go down from the hill and start walking along this road. And on your way back come again to vivit me, i want to know, what you heard and saw at the big festival.

J: Sure we come! Goodbye!

S: Vidiit-vidiit! Goodye then!

4. scene:(Forest. Johnny and Swallow walk around the stage twice and then stop)

J: we never asked Tarvas, how long the road to Tallinn is and how much time it takes to get there. And this road has made many elbows already...don´t know, if there is a shorter way...

S: It would take less time if we went straight, yes. Wait, I´ll take a higher circle around the land and look which way to take.(Swallow shouts from the behind the stage)We could walk around this hill and go straight through the forest, after that along the river side to the highway. Let´s go then!(Swallow and Johnny walk many times across the stage, a lot of trees go past them.Finally behind one tree there is a Rabbit)

Rabbit: Who are you and how did you get here?

J: My name is Johnny and this is my friend Swallow. We decided to go to the big party in Tallinn.

S: And now we are looking for shortcut.

J: Can you tell us how far Tallinn is?

R: Tallinn? What is that?

J: Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia, you stupid rabbit! Big town, there are lots of people and houses and...

S: ...and thousands of dancers and singers are going there from all across Estonia for a huge party.

R: No, I know nothing about this.. But I saw a hedgehog going past before, he is a smart animal, maybe he knows. He went this way. If we make it fast, we might catch him and ask him.(All 3 go quickly towards the shown direction. Finally they reach the hedgehog)

R: Hedgie, wait! Wait already! We need your advice and help!

Hedgehog: Rabbit, it´s you! And who are they?

R: (breathing hard) Yes, me! Oh, how good that we gained on you! Nimble legs are put to good use sometimes too! But these are my new friends who needs advice and help.

J: I am Johnny and this is my friend Swallow. We decided to go to the big party to Tallinn.

18

S: And now strightaway we´re looking from here, vidiit!

J: Can you, Hedgehog, tell us how long the way is to Tallinn?

H: To Tallinn? Is it that big town near the sea, where are lots of buildings and people?

J: I guess so...

H: It´s quite a long way even when you go straight from here.

R: I afraid so!

S: Yes, the sea does not stand out here between the trees. Vidiit! But I can see eventide, night is here soon.

J: And what now?

H: You have been on your way for a long time and you are certainly tired?

J: (sitting on the edge of the stage) Yes, we have walked all day and my feet are quite tired.

H: I´ve got an idea how to help you. Right here, behinf this fir my friend Kalevipoeg rests his feet. He went to behind lake Peipsi to get some planks and now he is resting from a trip tiredness. He spoke me that he will bring the burden of planks to Tallinn, where builders need it. I think, he can help you!

S: A very good idea! Hey Johnny! Take up your strenght and let´s move on! You heard – the hedgehog said, that kalevipoeg is on the way to Tallinn. Come-come!

5.scene: (Kalevipoeg sleeps and snores at the edge of the stage) H: Listen, there is our hero.

S: (investigates sleeping Kalevipoeg) I have never seen a man this big.

J: He is really huge!

H: Wake up, Kalevipoeg! We need your help!

Kalevipoeg: (jumps up fast, looks around him with a confused face) Who needs help? Where are the enemy forces?

H: Peace! There are no enemies. These are our little friends who need help. Look, here is Johnny and Swallow. They are looking for a way to Tallinn and they have been in this forest for a whole day. Maybe you can lead them to the right way?

K: (yawning) Yea, well. I know the way to Tallinn... right now I am really tired. I came from the other side of lake Peipsi with a huge pile of woods, it wasn´t any fun to carry them... i dropped them on the ground and fell asleep. Look, it´s getting darker. I cannot go anywhere tonight.

H: Kalevipoeg, dear Kalevipoeg, how about tomorrow?

19

K: Tomorrow I will go to Tallinn, because the builders are waiting for my pile of woods. It´s nothing to bring these little friends with me. But you have to promise to help me to put the woods into a correct pile again – so i can put them on my back, because right now tey´re quite mixed up.

J: Of course we´ll help1

K: So that´s how we do it! But for now let´s rest under this fir.

6.scene: ( Tallinn. Town Hall Square)K: You see, we are in tallinn. Soon we will arrive to town hall square. I´ll put down my pile of woods also. Climb down, johnny! (Kalevipoeg drops down the woods from the back, straightens the spine, stretches and looks around)K: You kno, friends, there, on the top of the townhall tower lives an old turncoat, the guard of the city – Old Toomas, who knos those town things better than me and he can show you, where that big song- and dancefestival is held. Hey, Old Toomas!

Old Toomas: Hello, Kalevipoeg! What kind of winds have bought you into Tallinn? And who are with you?

K: Hello! Hello, Old Toomas! Look I brought a pile of woods to citybuilders, but these are my new friends Johnny and Swallow, who came to the city to see the song- and dancefestival.

S: But we don´t know exactly, where the festival is held.

J: ...and there are so many houses, streets and people in this city...

OT: Yes, here is so much razzmatazz now during the great party. 100 000 singers and dancers all over Estonia will be added to 400 000 inhabitants of tallinn. If you want to beat the party on time, we have to start moving, because the parade of partiers has already began moving towards the singing field.

S: Lets go fast then!

J: Kalevipoeg, thank you for bringing us to town and finding us such a great guide. You heard – we have to go now to reach the party.

K: Go, my friends! If the builders have taken this pile of woods from me, maybe I will catch you up. Bye!

J and S: Good bye!

7.scene: (for the stage design – the Song Grounds. Gustav Ernesaks is sitting on the stage. People coming in will stop a little further away)

OT: So, we´re here. These are The Song Grounds and in here Estonians have had their song festivals for 25 times, once every 5 years.

J: Look, who is sitting there!

OT: Oh, little Johnny, now you have found the right man – that there is the man who knows more about the song festivals than I do. It is Laulutaat, the father of Estonian choir music

20

Gustav Ernesaks. He has conducted many song festivals in here, the Song Grounds. (turns to Laulutaat) Hi, Laulutaat!

Laulutaat: Hello-hello! Look at that, even Old toomas has climbed down from the city hall tower and came to the party. I am happy to see you! And who are these people with you?

OT: these here are little Johnny and swallow, who came here for the first time to check out the big party. Kalevipoeg brought them to Tallinn and i led them to The Song grounds. I can´t really stay to the party – i need to return to my postt the top of city hall. Maybe you could take care of my friends.

L: Yes, of cource. I am always glad to have people around me.

OT: Great, then! See you, friends! (leaves)

J: Why are you, Laulutaat, sitting here?

L: You see, Johnny, when i was still a human, not a statue as I am now, i was conductor and i wrote songs myself. They were sung in here, under the song arch, where thousands of singers met during the song festival. That´s why I was put sitting as statue in here, at the foot of Lasnamägi. So I could forever keep an eye on the Estonian Song festivals.

J: but what are doing when the festival is over?

L: I look at the stage.. miss people and music, because the song festivals are held once every 5 years. Then there will be giant choirs with thousands of singers on the stage and the whole grounds are full of spectators like today. Fortunately children have their smaller festivals and musicians have their concerts here.

J: And then there was this festival that was called „Time of noticing“ ... I saw ads for the festival on the Internet, but when watching it live on television I immediately fell asleep, because I had just played my space battle computer game for two hours and my eyes fell shut themselves. Mom and dad were wotching the show until 2 AM at night and regretted why they didn´t go to the grounds at the right time.

L: Yes, I do believe, that lot of people in Estonia regretted, because this festival was really powerful! – real symbol of how our nation holds together.

S: You are talking about song festivals, but the other part of big party – dance festival – where and when this is hold?

J: I think that there, on the stairs of this stage nobody can dance.

L: No, they cannot. Dance festival is hold on the Kalev stadium on the other side of the city. You should go there tomorrow.

S: Let´s go, Johnny! Let´s look dance festival also! Vidiit!

L: You definitely must go! Thousands of dancers have had rehearsals on the stadium during whole week. They make nice patterns during dancing – it is really worth of seeing.

S: We´ll go there definitely!

21

J: Oh, is song festival beginning now?

L: Yes, it is. Look there are torchbearers going to the fire-tower – they will light the fire on the top of tower, which will burn during festivities. Look, stage is full of singers! In seconds conductor goes frontward choirs to conduct the traditional opening song. Listen!(Song from tape „Dawn“)

Storyteller: We let Johnny and Swallow to the concert now. It will be very long story, if we want to show you, how Johnny clapped his hands and how Swallow sing together with the singers all the beautiful songs, how they admired dance festival next day, how they get tired and started their way home, our play will be too long... but i think that it is interesting for you to know, that on their way back home they visited Tarvas and told him about the festival. In autumn Johnny dropped computer games and joined in rehersals of Virumaa Boys´Choir, because he wants to go to the next song festival as singer.

Jón og vinir hans sjö

Sögumaður:Jón tólf ára gamall ætlar að ferðast í kringum landið í tímavélinni sinni og koma við á sjö stöðum á sjö mismunandi tímum. Hann byrjar í Reykjavík og fer til ársins 874. Þar hittir hann landnámsmanninn Ingólf Arnarson og fer að spjalla við hann.

Ingólfur: Góðan daginn. Ek heiti Ingólfur Arnarson og ek var að nema land hér.

Jón: Ég þekki þig úr bókum. Ég hef verið að læra um þig.

Ingólfur: Er það? Hvað heitir þú ungi drengur?

Jón: Ég heiti Jón Jónsson og er frá Reykjavík.

Ingólfur: Ek var einmitt að nefna þennan stað þar sem við stöndum á núna, Reykjavík. Hér hef ek ákveðið að reisa mér bæ vegna þess að öndvegissúlurnar mínar ráku hér á land. Einnig er hér svo mikill jarðhiti.

Jón: Já, það er gott, ég kem nefnilega með tímavél úr framtíðinni og Reykjavík verður höfuðborg Íslands.

Ingólfur: Þetta er skrítið, ek sem var rétt í þessu að nema land hér.

Jón: Já, þú fannst góðan og fallegan stað fyrir borgina okkar. Þar er skemmtilegt að búa og þar eru margar fallegar byggingar, eins og Hallgrímskirkjan og Perlan. Í gegnum borgina rennur falleg laxveiðiá, sem nefnd er Elliðaá eftir einum þræla þinna. Einnig er til torg sem er kallað Ingólfstorg í höfuðið á þér og svo er stytta af þér uppi á Arnarhóli.

Ingólfur: Ó, það er nú skrítið.

Jón: Já og skemmtilegt.

Ingólfur: Bless ungi dregur ek verð að fara skoða þetta fallega Ísland.

Jón: Bless Ingólfur.

Sögumaður:Jón fer upp í tímavélina og ákveður að fara til Akureyrar árið 2456. Hann lendir á Hlíðarfjalli og sér stelpu á skíðum, kallar á hana og hún fer að spjalla við Jón.

Stelpan: Hæ, ég heiti Emma Rós Elíasdóttir en þú mátt kalla mig Emmu ef þú vilt en hvað heitir þú?

Jón: Ég heiti Jón Jónsson en þú mátt kalla mig Jón ef þú vilt Emma. Hvar er ég?

Emma: Þú ert uppi á Hlíðarfjalli Jón, en maður er bara nokkrar mínútur að keyra hingað frá Akureyri.

Jón: Getur þú sagt mér frá Akureyri Emma?

Emma: Já, já það get ég gert Jón minn.

23

Jón: Allt í lagi byrjaðu þá Emma.

Emma: Akureyri er stundum kölluð höfuðborg norðurlands og hér er skemmtilegt að búa og margt hægt að gera. Til dæmis skoða fallegan grasagarð, fara í sund, skoða jólahús og mörg skemmtileg söfn. Maður þarf líka að labba upp rosalega margar tröppur að Akureyrarkirkju. Hér uppi í Hlíðarfjalli er flott skíðasvæði, sem hefur verið vinsælt svo lengi sem menn muna. En nú eru fjarflutningstæki í staðinn fyrir skíðalyftur, skíðaskálinn er 20 hæða blokk og diskalyfturnar eru fljúgandi diskar. Ég á heima á efstu hæð í hundrað hæða blokk. Ég á líka fullt af hundum.

Jón: Já þetta er merkilegt Emma.

Emma: Jæja Jón ég ætla að halda áfram að skíða. Bæ Jón.

Jón: Bless Emma.

Sögumaður:Jón fer í tímavélina og ákveður að fara að Dettifossi í nútímanum. Þar hittir hann kannski einhvern. Þegar hann kemur sér hann strák og þeir fara að spjalla saman.

Strákurinn: Halló ég heiti Halldór Höskuldsson en þú mátt kalla mig Halldór. Hvað heitir þú?

Jón: Ég heiti Jón Jónsson en þú mátt kalla mig Jón.

Halldór: Það er hættulegt að vera hjá Dettifossi Jón því þú getur dottið ofan í hann, ef þú ferð ekki varlega. Dettifoss er nefnilega aflmesti foss Íslands. Hann er 44 metra hár og rúmlega 100 metra breiður foss í Jökulsá á Fjöllum. Hann er hluti af Þjóðgarðinum í Jökulsárgljúfrum.

Jón: Þetta er nú flottur foss og kraftmikill.

Halldór: Já heldur betur, en farðu nú varlega Jón.

Jón: Þakka þér fyrir þessar upplýsingar og vertu blessaður.

Halldór: Blessaður Jón.

Sögumaður:Jón fer nú til ársins 2000 og er kominn hjá hvernum Geysi í Haukadal. Þar sér hann stelpu og fer að spjalla við hana.

Stelpan: Hæ ég heiti Lára Lárusdóttir en þú mátt kalla mig Láru. En hvað heitir þú?

Jón: Ég heiti Jón Jónsson en þú mátt kalla mig Jón. Viltu segja mér frá Geysi Lára?

Lára: Já, það get ég gert Jón.

Jón: Byrjaðu þá Lára mín.

Lára: Geysir í Haukadal er goshver. Áður fyrr gaus hann reglulega gosum sem þeyttu vatni 60 til 80 metra upp í loftið. Eftir árið 1900 hætti hann að gjósa reglulega. Stundum var þá sett sápa í hverinn til að fá hann til að gjósa. Núna árið 2000 þegar suðurlandsjarðskjálftarnir eru ný búnir, þá hefur Geysir tekið sig til og farið að gjósa aftur. Aðrir hverir eru líka

24

hér á svæðinu til dæmis Strokkur, Smiður, Litli Strokkur og fleiri. Einnig er Gullfoss hér í nánd, en hann er fallegur foss í Hvítá og vinsæll hjá ferðamönnum.

Jón: Þetta voru góðar upplýsingar Lára mín.

Lára: Nú verð ég að fara því mamma er kannski orðin hrædd um mig. Bæ bæ Jón.

Jón: Bæ bæ Lára mín.

Sögumaður:Jón ákveður að fara til Bláa lónsins árið 2029 og vonast til að hitta einhvern. Viti menn hann sér einhvern strák í búningsklefanum. Hann fer út með honum og þeir tala og tala saman þegar þeir fara ofan í.

Strákur: Hæ ég heiti Eiríkur Hauksson en þú mátt kalla mig Eika, en hvað heitir þú?

Jón: Ég heiti Jón Jónsson en þú mátt kalla mig Jón ef þú vilt. En getur þú sagt mér frá Bláa lóninu?

Eiki: Já það get ég gert Jón minn. Bláa lónið er einhver fjölsóttasti ferðamannastaður á Íslandi bæði af innlendum og erlendum ferðamönnum. Lónið þykir góð heilsulind og fólk fer þangað til að fá lækningu á sjúkdómnum psoriasis og ýmsum húðútbrotum og exemum. Lónið er einstakt því þar eru einungis notaðir náttúrulegir þörungar til þess að hreinsa vatnið.

Jón: Vá, þetta er stórmerkilegt Eiki minn.

Eiki: Já þetta veit ég og margt fleira Jón.

Jón: Þú veist virkilega margt.

Eiki: Já en nú þarf ég að fara. Bæ bæ Jón.

Jón: Bæ bæ Eiki.

Sögumaður:Hann Jón ákveður að fara að Vatnajökli árið 1991 og lendir uppi á jöklinum og hittir stelpu sem fer að tala við hann.

Stelpan: Hæ ég heiti Arna Arnarsdóttir en þú mát kalla mig Örnu og hvað heitir þú?

Jón: Ég heiti Jón Jónsson en þú mátt kalla mig Jón. En getur þú sagt mér frá Vatnajökli Arna mín?

Arna: Já já Jón.

Jón: Jæja Arna byrjaðu þá.

Arna: Allt í lagi. Vatnajökull er staðsettur á suðausturhluta Íslands. Hann er stærsti jökull Íslands bæði að flatarmáli og rúmmáli og stærsti jökull Evrópu. Undir Vatnajökli eru einhverjar mestu eldstöðvar landsins. Grímsvötn er þeirra þekktust ásamt Öræfajökli og Bárðarbungu. Oft verða eldgos undir ísnum sem valda hlaupum í jökulám. Hvannadalshnúkur er hæsti tindur Öræfajökuls og jafnframt hæsti tindur Íslands. Samkvæmt mælingu er hæð hans 2.110 metrar yfir

25

sjávarmáli. Oft hafa menn gengið á topp Hvannadalshnúks, en nú árið 1991 fóru menn í fyrsta skipti á jeppa þar upp.

Jón: Takk fyrir upplýsingarnar þínar Arna mín.

Arna: Nú þarf ég að halda áfram að labba upp jökulinn. Bæ bæ Jón.

Jón: Bæ bæ Arna.

Sögumaður:Jón er að hugsa um að fara að Ásbyrgi árið 1981 og fræðast um það. Hann sér strák og þeir fara að tala saman.

Strákurinn: Hæ hæ ég heiti Ólafur Óskarsson en þú mátt kalla mig Óla. En hvað heitir þú?

Jón: Ég heiti Jón Jónsson en þú mátt kalla mig Jón ef þú vilt. En Óli getur þú sagt mér frá Ásbyrgi?

Óli: Já já Jón.

Jón: Jæja byrjaðu þá.

Óli: Allt í lagi. Ásbyrgi er hamrakví í þjóðgarðinum í Jökulsárgljúfrum í Norður Þingeyjarsýslu og er eitt af mestu náttúruundrum Íslands. Ásbyrgi er allt að 3,5 km á lengd inn í botn og um 1,1 km á breidd. Í miðjunni er mikill klettur sem kallaður er Eyjan, þótt hann standi á þurru landi. Hamraveggirnir eru víðast um 90 til 100 metra háir, hærri en Hallgrímskirkjan í Reykjavík. Ýmsar tilgátur hafa verið settar fram um hvernig Ásbyrgi varð til en líklegast myndaðist það þegar tvö hamfarahlaup urðu í Jökulsá á Fjöllum við eldgos í Vatnajökli. Hið fyrra fyrir um 8 til 10 þúsund árum og hið síðara fyrir um 3 þúsund árum. Þjóðsagan skýrir þetta náttúrufyrirbæri á annan hátt. Sagan segir að þarna hafi Sleipnir, hestur Óðins, stigið fast niður fæti þegar hann var á ferð sinni um lönd og höf. Ásbyrgi sé því hóffar Sleipnis og eyjan í miðjunni sé far eftir hóftunguna.

Jón: Vá er það virkilega?

Óli: Já, svona er nú sagan. En nú þarf ég að fara Jón. Bæ bæ Jón.

Jón: Blessaður Óli.

Sögumaður:Jón hefur nú farið með tímavélinni sinni á sjö staði á landinu og hann fer aftur til 2009 í Reykjavík og þar fær hann sér djús og ristað brauð. Síðan fer hann að sofa og segir við sjálfan sig.

Jón: (Geispar) Þetta var nú besti dagur lífs míns!

ArnaJón og vinir hans sjö(Brúðuleikhús)

  

Story teller:John, who is 12 years old, plans to travel around the country in his time machine. He is going to drop by at seven places using seven different time frames. He starts in Reykjavik and goes back to the year 874 where he meets with Ingólfur Arnarson. Ingólfur happened to be the first to settle in Reykjavík. Ingólfur: Good day to you. My name is Ingólfur Arnason and I have claimed this land for me and my household.  Jón: I know you from books. I have been studying the  history of Iceland and you are a part of it. Ingólfur: Huh? Really? What is your name young man?  

Jón: My name is Jón Ólafsson and I am from Reykjavík.  Ingólfur:  I just named this very place Reykjavík! This is where I have decided to build myself a farm. You see, my high-seat pillars (öndvegissúlur) landed here and I had decided to settle wherever they landed. And of course, there is the added bonus of geothermal activity so we have plenty of hot water. Jón: That´s good. You know, I just came here from the future, in my new time machine. Therefore I know that in time, Reykjavík will be the Capital of Iceland.

Ingólfur : This is odd, as I just settled here (just landed here)

Jón: Yes, you found a very nice and beautiful place for our city. It´s a nice place to live in and in the future, there are many, many beautiful buildings like the church, Hallgrímskirkja, and Perlan (the Pearl). There is also a very nice river, actually a salmon fishing river, that flows (runs?) straight through the city. The name of this river is Elliðaá or the River of Elliði. You see,  this river is named after one of your slaves. We also have a square named after you, Ingólfstorg or Ingolfssquare. And to top it all, we have raised a large statue of you on Arnarhóll, looking over the center of the city. 

27

 Ingólfur: Oh, that´s odd...

Jón: And fun also. Ingólfur: Well, goodbye young man, I have to go and look at this amazing Iceland.

Jón: Goodbye Ingólfur. 

StorytellerJón goes into his time-machine and decides to go to Akureyri, a small town up north in Iceland. He wants to see how it looks in 2456. The time-machine lands in Hlídarfjall where he sees a young girl skiing. He calls out to her and she walks over to him. Then they start chatting.

Emma: Hi, my name is Emma Rós but you can call me Emma. What is your name?

Jón: I am Jón Ólafsson, but you can call me Nonni if you like. Where am I?

Emma: Nonni, you are on the top of Hlídarfjall, but nevertheless only few minutes from Akureyri by car.

Jón: Can you tell me about Akureyri?

 Emma: Yes, I sure can.

 Jón: Ok then, I am waiting. Emma: Akureyri is sometimes referred to as the Capital of the North. It´s a very fun place to live in and there are lot´s of activities. For example a nice walk in a botanic garden, visit the Christmas house - where Christmas never ends, or maybe some of the many museums here. If we want to visit the big church, we need to climb awfully many steps! Then there is Hlídarfjall, the mountain we stand on where it´s possible to go skiing in the wonderful ski resort. We have of course used the technology to the fullest and the ski lifts from the past have been replaced by teleporting, the former ski-hut is a 20 floor building. The (diskalyftur) are now flying o.

I´m living in the top flor in the big building. I have also lot of dogs.

 Jón: This is awesome Emma. Emma: Well, anyway, I am going to use the time to go skiing. Goodbye Nonni! Jón: Bye Emma StorytellerJón goes into the time-machine again and decides to go to Dettifoss in the present time. He might meet someone there he thinks. When the time-machine stops, he sees a young boy. They start talking.

 Halldós: Hi, I am Halldór Höskuldsson but you can call me Halldor. What is your name? Jón: My name is Jón Ólafsson but you can call me Nonni. Halldór: It is dangerous to stand by Dettifoss Jon. You might fall into it if you are not careful. Dettifoss is the strongest of Iceland´s falls. It drops 44 meters down and is almost 100 meters wide. The river it flows from is Jokusa á Fjöllum and the fall is a part of the National Park in Jökulságljúfur.  Jón: The fall is really something. It´s looks very powerful!

Halldór: Yes, it is, but be careful Nonni.  Jón: Thank you for the information and goodbye.  

28

Halldór: Bye Nonni.  StorytellerJón now goes to the year 2000 and lands by the geyser Geysir in Haukadalur. There he spots a girl whom he starts talking with.

 Lára: Hi, I am Lára Lárusdóttir but you can call me Lára. And your name is?

 Jón: My name is Jón Ólafsson and you can call me Nonni. Would you tell me about Geysir?

 Lára: Yes, I can do that.  Jón: Well, I am all ears.  Lára: Geysir in Haukadalur is a (man ekki orðið fyrir goshver). Before, it erupted regularly and ejected water 60-80 meters into the air. But that changed shortly after the year 1900. Sometimes people put soap into it to make it erupt. Last summer we had massive earthquake and after that Geysir has started again. Geysir is not the only geyser in the area. There are also Strokkur, Smidur, Strokkur junior and others. For tourists, we have also Gullfoss, a very beautiful fall in White river. 

 Jón: These information were good Lára.  Lára: I am sorry but I have to go now. My mom is worried about me. Bye Nonni.  

Jón: Bye Lára.

Storyteller:Nonni decides to go to the Blue lagoon in the year 2029 in the hope of meeting interesting people. And of course he sees a boy in the dressing room. They go out together and talk when entering the pool.  

Eiríkur: Hi, my name is Eiríkur Hauksson but you can call me Eiki. What is your name?

Jón: My name is Jón Ólafsson and you can call me Nonni. Can you tell me something about the Blue Lagoon?

 Eiki: Yes I can do that. The Blue Lagoon is one of the most popular tourist place in Iceland.. Both foreigners and Icelandic travelers visit here. The lagoon is considered to be very healthy and some come here to be cured from psoriasis and other skin problems. The lagoon is very special as there are only natural algae used to clean the water. 

 Jón: Wow, thats amazing. . Eiki: Yes, I know a lot.  Jón: You really know alot.  Eiki: Well, I need go go anyway. Bye Nonni.  Jón: Bye Eiki.  Storyteller:Now Jon decides to go to the glacier Vatnajokull in the year 1991. He lands on top of the glacier and meets a girl standing there.  Arna: Hi, I am Arna Arnarsdottir but you can call me Arna. What is you name?

29

 Jón: My name is Jon Jonsson and you can call me Nonni. But can you tell me about Vatnajokull?

  Arna: Yes Nonni.  Jón: Well then, begin the story. Arna: Ok, Vatnajökll is situated at the southwestern part of Iceland. It is Iceland´s biggest glacier and in fact the biggest glacier in Europe. Underneath it is possibly the largest volcanic activity area in the whole country. Of those, Grímsvötn are the best know along with Öræfajökull and Bárdarbunga. Often volcanic eruption takes place underneath the icecap and then the glacier rivers run forward in full speed. The highest top of Öræfajökull is Hvanadalshnjúkur which also is the highest mountain in Iceland. According to the latest measurement it is 2.110 meters high. People have often climbed to the top but in 1991 they managed to drive a jeep up there. 

Jón: Thanks for the information Arna.   

Arna: I got to go, I am on my way to the top. Bye Nonni.

Jón: Bye bye Arna.   Storyteller:Jón has an idea. He is going to Ásbyrgi in the year 1981 and find out about the place. He does that and of course, meets a boy there. They start talking.

 Ólafur: Hi, hi, I am Ólafur Óskarsson but you can call me Óli. What is your name.

Jón: My name is Jón Ólafsson, but if you want to, you can call my Nonni. But, can you give my some information about Ásbyrgi?  Óli: Yes Nonni.  Jón: Ok, start then.  Óli: Ok. Ásbyrgi is formed by high cliffs in the National Park in Jökulsárgljúfur in North of Iceland. It is one of the greatest wonders of nature in Iceland. It is approximently 3.5 km long and about 1.1 km wide. In the middle there is a large rock called the Island, even though it stands on dry land. The cliff walls are about 90 - 100 meters high, a lot higher than the church Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavík. There has been a speculation about how it was made but it is most likely that it has happened when two large river-runs occurred in Jökulsá á Fjöllum when there was a volcanic eruption in Vatnajökull. The first one happened about 8-10 thousand years ago and the last one appr. 3 thousand years ago. The Sagas say something else. They say that Sleipnir, Óðins horse had stepped down there when traveling around the world. Therefor, Ásbyrgi is the mark of Sleipnir´s hoof and the Island in the middle is made by the middle of the hoof. 

 Jón: Wow, really?  Óli: Yes, that is what the story says. But I have to go now. Bye Jon

Jón: By Oli  Storyteller:Jón has now traveled on his time-machine to seven places in the country and now he goes back to the year 2009 in Reykjavík where he gets himself juice and a toast. Then he goes to sleep and says to himself:

Jón (yawning): This was the best day of my life!

Giovannino SettePassi

(Interno del Museo dei Valori di Maastricht, lungo corridoio, si entra in una stanza dove ci sono molte bandiere dei vari paesi europei; sotto ogni bandiera c’è una teca con dentro un cubetto colorato e, al centro, la bandiera dell’Europa)Guida: Giovannino Sette Passi era un ragazzo della vostra età, quando fece quel viaggio in Europa…Alunni: Ci racconta la storia dall’inizio?Guida: Va bene, però sedetevi, perché sarà una storia lunga e difficile da seguire…

(A casa di Giovannino Sette Passi, in camera, con giochi, comodino, letto, armadio e scrivania)Mamma: Giovannino, è tardi, vai a dormire!Giovannino: Sì mamma, ora vado…(Giovannino va a letto e si addormenta; una piccola luce, come una lucciola, si avvicina)FatinaEuropa: Ciao GiovanninoGiovannino: E tu chi sei?FatinaEuropa: Sono la Fatina Europa, ti ho dato il potere dei Sette Passi, preparati, partirai per un lungo viaggio e il primo paese che visiterai sarà l’Italia.Questa sarà la tua missione: dovrai visitare sei paesi e guadagnare sette valori; in questo modo io diventerò sempre più luminosa ed ogni volta che guadagnerai un valore ti ritroverai un cubetto colorato in tasca. Nel primo viaggio ti accompagnerò io, poi, per chiamarmi, dovrai pronunciare la parola “EURO”.Giovannino: Ma come faccio a girare l’Europa?FatinaEuropa: Con il potere che ti ho assegnato ti basterà fare sette passi!Guida: Giovannino li fece e, come per magia, si ritrovò in Italia.

(In un parco giochi ci sono due ragazzi, uno nero)Ragazzo1: Posso giocare con te?Ragazzo2: No! Non voglio giocare con te! Vattene!Ragazzo1: Perché?Ragazzo2: Tu vattene! Non ti ho già detto che non voglio giocare con te?FatinaEuropa: A quanto pare quei due ragazzi stanno litigando, probabilmente perché uno dei due ha la pelle scura. Dovresti fargli fare amicizia. Prova a pronunciare questa formula… (FatinaEuropa bisbiglia qualcosa nell’orecchio di Giovannino)Giovannino: Tutti uguali noi siamo

E per sempre amici restiamoLa tolleranza ci aiuteràHip hip hurrà!

(I ragazzi smettono di litigare)Ragazzo2: Scusami tanto…vieni a giocare con me…sono stato uno sciocco!Ragazzo1: Evviva, allora saremo amici!FatinaEuropa: Sto brillando di più!Giovannino: Ma cosa sono questi? (Si fruga in tasca e estrae due cubetti)FatinaEuropa: Questi sono i cubetti che hai guadagnato: quello dell’uguaglianza e quello della tolleranza! Adesso puoi partire per il prossimo paese! Giovannino, fai sette passi così potrai arrivare in Portogallo.

(Interno sala da pranzo, tavola imbandita con famiglia intorno: padre, madre e fratello e sorella)

Padre: E’ una sciocchezza questa storia dell’invitare un mendicante a pranzo! Mamma: Noi non lo faremo mai!Fratello: Dai…Sorella: Poverino!Giovannino: Euro!(Arriva FatinaEuropa volando)FatinaEuropa: Oggi è la giornata dei mendicanti. Ogni famiglia deve invitare un mendicante a casa per pranzo, ma questa famiglia non è d’accordo…usa questa formula! (FatinaEuropa gli porge un foglietto)Giovannino: Nella fratellanza noi crediamo

E tutti insieme lo gridiamo!(Passa un vecchio mendicante, vestito poveramente)Padre: Buon signore, venga a mangiare qualcosa a casa nostra, siamo stati degli stupidi a credere che questa giornata non serva a nulla!FatinaEuropa: Giovannino guardami, sto brillando di più!Giovannino: Sì, lo vedo! Ed io ho guadagnato il cubetto della fratellanza! Ora che ho imparato che siamo tutti fratelli, mi sento più gentile con le persone. Adesso posso fare sette passi per raggiungere la Lituania.

(Giovannino fa sette passi e si ritrova a Vilnius in un bosco –Cartello Benvenuti in Lituania)Boscaiolo1: Dobbiamo abbattere questi alberi, forza, sbrighiamoci!Giovannino: (irritato) E’ una cosa ignobile! Euro!FatinaEuropa: Dobbiamo intervenire! Quei due stanno per tagliare le piante! Eccoti la formula…Giovannino: Un po’ di ambientalismo in questo paese

Diminuirebbe anche le spese!FatinaEuropa: Guarda quell’albero! E’ enorme e sta mettendo in fuga i boscaioli!(Albero insegue i boscaioli)Boscaiolo2: Aiuto!!Boscaiolo1: Ahhhh!FatinaEuropa: Evviva! Sto brillando di più!Giovannino: Ed io adesso ho il cubetto dell’ambientalismo! Posso partire per la prossima tappa!

(Giovannino fa sette passi e arriva a Reikyavik)Giovannino: Ma guarda! Ho preso il giornale e cosa vedo? “Un teatro verrà abbattuto e al suo posto verrà costruito un centro commerciale”. Andrò a chiedere spiegazioni alla ditta Fabbricony!PresidenteFabbricony: Posso aiutarla?Giovannino: Dovete ripensarci! Non potete abbattere il teatro!PresidenteFabbricony: Quel centro commerciale ci farà guadagnare un sacco di soldi! Non fermeremo il progetto!Giovannino: Euro!FatinaEuropa: Tieni la formula!Giovannino: Se la cultura volete imparare

I monumenti dovete rispettare!PresidenteFabbrcony: Quel teatro non deve essere abbattuto! Dobbiamo fermare i lavori!FatinaEuropa: Evviva! Sto brillando di più!Giovannino: Ed io ho guadagnato il cubetto della cultura!

(Cartello con scritto Ankara; due case e un albero)Guida: Arrivato con sette passi in Turchia, Giovannino fa un bel giro…Giovannino: Wow, che bel paese!

32

Guida: …ma dopo aver camminato un po’, vede due uomini incappucciati che tengono bastoni in mano e trascinano due bambini vestiti di stracci.Giovannino: Cosa succede qua? Cosa state facendo?Sfruttatore1: Quello che facciamo non è affar tuo!Bambino1: Aiutaci, per favore! Siamo stanchi e affamati!Giovannino: Lasciateli andare, brutti ceffi!Sfruttatore2: E chi ce lo impedirà? Forse un moccioso come te?Giovannino: Sì, proprio io, con la mia amica Fatina Europa! Euro!(Dal cielo scende la FatinaEuropa irradiando luce)FatinaEuropa: Sono qua, di cosa hai bisogno?Giovannino: di un aiuto per convincerli a lasciare liberi i bambini!FatinaEuropa: Ecco la formula:

I bambini liberi devono essereE non devono tesserePerché liberi vogliono giocareE non pensare a lavorare

Guida: …e dopo aver pronunciato queste parole, gli sfruttatori dicono…Sfruttatore1e2: Ci dispiace tantissimo…libereremo subito i bambini!Giovannino: Ora ho anche il cubetto della libertà!

(Cartello con scritto Tallin. Giovannino è in una piazza dove c’è una parata militare)Guida: Giovannino, camminando, vede un anziano signore senza una gamba e gli dice…Giovannino: Signore, com’è accaduto?Signore: Vedi, ragazzo, se non ci fosse stata la guerra, io avrei ancora la gamba…eppure, ci sono uomini che pensano ancora alla guerra!Giovannino: Euro!FatinaEuropa: Stai tranquillo, ho già la soluzione! Tieni la formula:

Il pacifismo dovete impararePer evitare di farvi maleE ognuno avrà la sua libertàCosì la vita migliore sarà!

(Arrivano dei pacifisti che sventolano le bandiere della pace)Pacifisti: Gettate le armi!Guida: la parata viene dispersa e Giovannino guadagna il cubetto del pacifismo.Giovannino: Guarda Fata! Sono sette! Evviva, ce l’abbiamo fatta!FatinaEuropa: Grazie per il tuo aiuto, Giovannino. Adesso, però, ci dobbiamo salutare…Giovannino: Mi mancherai. Ma ti prometto che non mi scorderò mai, né di te, né dei valori che ho imparato grazie al tuo aiuto!FatinaEuropa: Adesso è l’ora di tornare a casa…

(Giovannino si ritrova in camera sua, nella situazione iniziale)

(Museo dei valori)Alunna1: Così finisce la storia?Guida: No, in realtà no… Ve la racconterò fino in fondo…

(Giovannino si ritrova in camera sua, nella situazione iniziale)Giovannino: Mamma! Sono tornato!Mamma: Ma ti sei addormentato cinque minuti fa!Giovannino: Cosa è successo? Dov’è finita la fatinaEuropa?FatinaEuropa: Giovannino, sono qua! Sei stato molto bravo a compiere questa missione, ma d’ora in poi te la dovrai cavare da solo, io devo andare…Giovannino: Dove andrai?

33

FatinaEuropa: Caro Giovannino, devo andare ad aiutare altri bambini, ma ricorda, in qualunque momento tu abbia bisogno di me, guarda il cielo: grazie a te io sarò sempre la stella più luminosa!

(Museo dei valori)Guida: …così finisce la storia ed ogni volta che Giovannino guarda il cielo, Europa c’è e ci sarà sempre. Europa è quella stella lassù, la vedete?Alunni: sì, sì! Eccola là!Alunna2: Ma ora questi cubetti ...?Guida: Sì, hai capito…si trovano qua al museo e ce li ha portati Giovannino in persona. Ha deciso di portarli qua perché se anche uno andasse perduto, quel valore non esisterebbe più!Alunna3: Se si perdesse il cubetto dell’ambientalismo, cosa succederebbe?Guida: Tutte le foreste verrebbero tagliate!Alunno4: E se si perdesse quello del pacifismo?Guida: Forse vedremmo scoppiare guerre sempre più frequenti! Niente avrebbe più il proprio equilibrio. Ma per fortuna sono ancora tutti qua, c’erano, ci sono e ci saranno sempre!Alunna5: Ma dov’è finito Giovannino?Guida: Giovannino sono io!

JONUKAS iškeliauja. Susitinka mergaitę. - Kas tu toks ir kur keliauji,berniuk?

JONUKAS- Aš esu Jonukas, keliauju pas juodąją tetulę.O kas tu ?

ONYTĖ -Aš esu Onytė.Mergaitė lietuvaitė.Aš labai domiuosi savo kraštu, jo praeitimi, kultūra.Aš labai norėčiau turėti tokius rūbelius, kokius kadaise nešiojo lietuvės merginos.

JONUKAS -Tai kodėl tau jų mama nenuperka?

ONYTĖ-Tokių drabužių pirkti nebūna. Juos moka pagaminti tik labai išmintingos moterys.Gal tavo tetulė tai moka?

JONUKAS - Nežinau, gal ir moka. Eime kartu ir sužinosim.

ONYTĖ - Eime,dviese bus linksmiau.

Vaikai prieina ŽALIĄJĮ KLONĮ. Skleidžiasi gėlės, čiulba paukščiai. Staiga atskrenda gandras.

GANDRAS - Kas gi čia mano pievomis vaikštinėja? A, čia gi Jonukas ir Onytė. Kur gi išsiruošėte?

JONUKAS -O iš kur tu mus pažįsti? Kas tu toks?

ONYTĖ-Čia gandras, Jonuk. Jis Lietuvos nacionalinis paukštis. Na,kaip simbolis, supranti?

JONUKAS-Šitą tai suprantu. Mano senelių kieme , medyje ,yra toks didelis gandralizdis. Senelis ten seną vežimo ratą užkėlė, kad gandrams būtų lengviau lizdą sukti. Tik niekaip nesuprantu, iš kur tu,gandre , žinai mano vardą?

GANDRAS- O tu,Jonuk, nebeatsimeni, kad aš tave tėveliui ir mamytei atnešiau?

ONYTĖ-O, Jonuk, aš žinau! Juk Lietuvoje gandrai vaikus neša!

JONUKAS-Eik, tu , Onyte, šitos pasakos mažiems vaikams!

GANDRAS-Vaikams, ar ne vaikams ,bet tave tai aš atnešiau! O jei tu manim netiki,tai aš einu geriau baloj pabraidysiu, varlių pasigaudysiu…Pavargau po tokios ilgos kelionės..

40

JONUKAS-Kokios kelionės? Kur tu buvai?

GANDRAS -Afrikoj žiemojau.

JONUKAS -Taip toli skridai?

GANDRAS-O ką darysi? Čia man šalta, maisto nėra, visos varlės žiemą kažkur prapuola…Bet ne aš vienas skrendu į šiltuosius kraštus – ir žąsys, ir kregždutės, ir gulbės, ir vieversiai, ir varnėnai…

JONUKAS -Tikrai, žiemą tik varnas mačiau,

ONYTĖ-Dar žvirblių, zylių…Bet paukšteliai negieda, tylu žiemą…

GANDRAS-O dabar, pavasarį, paukščiai grįžta, puola lizdus sukti - vaikelius perėti ruošiasi.

ONYTĖ-Visur girdisi paukščių čiulbesys… Paklausyk, Jonuk, kaip pempė sveikina pavasarį.

GANDRAS-O jūs man neatsakėt, kur keliaujat?

JONUKAS-Mes einam pas juodąją tetulę.

ONYTĖ-Kad patartų,kaip man tautinius rūbus įsigyti.

JONUKAS-Ir kad panešiotų…

GANDRAS-O paskraidyti nenori?

JONUKAS-Na ne, gandre, neapgausi! Tu mane paimsi ir nuneši kokiems nors žmonėms, o tie paskui sakys, kad gandras jiems Jonuką atnešė! Aš savo tėvelių sūnelis, nors jiems jau ir atsibodo mane nešiot…Mes tave ,gandre, geriau duonyte pavaišinsime. .Mano mamytė pati kepė...

GANDRAS-Ačiū ,vaikai. Jei jums manęs prireiks, tik pašvilpkite ir atlėksiu.

Keliautojai eina žaliu kloniu ir prieina GĖLĖTĄJĄ PIEVĄ. Čia sutinka darbščiąją BITĘ. Jie išlaisvina bitę, ši atsidėkodama papasakoja apie gėles, apie medaus rūšis , naudą ir padovanoja

41

jiems medaus korį ir parodo, kur auga nacionalinė lietuvių gėlė-rūta. Vaikai nupina Onytei rūtų vainikėlį.Paskui prieina ežerą ir randa ant kranto dūstančią ŽUVYTĘ. Vaikai įmeta žuvytę į vandenį .Ši papasakoja, kad Lietuvoje yra apie 3000 ežerų, kurie užima vos ne 1000 kv. km plotą, kad ežerai upėmis susisiekia net su Baltijos jūra, kurioje kažkada gintaro rūmuose gyveno deivė Jūratė, pamilusi mirtingąjį- žvejį Kastytį. Dievas Perkūnas užsirūstino ir sugriovė gintaro rūmus, nuskandino Kastytį.O Jūratės ašaros virto gintaru, kurį ir dabar Baltijos bangos išmeta į krantą... ŽUVYTĖ padovanoja vaikams gintaro gabalėlius, iš kurių Jonukas suveria Onytei karolius.

Vaikai eina toliau. Ant jų užkrinta geltonas ąžuolo lapas. Jie pasiekia AUKSINĮ MIŠKĄ.Čia jie susipažįsta su VOVERYTE, padeda jai rinkti grybus, sužino, kad miške auga baravykai, raudonviršiai, lepšiai, voveraitės, ,kelmučiai, ūmėdės, kad labai gražus, bet nuodingas grybas yra musmirė. Miške Jonukas pamato beržus, uosius, liepas, alksnius, pušis, egles, ąžuolus. Sužino, kad senovėje ąžuolas buvo laikomas šventu medžiu.

Miško pakraštyje jie susitinka VORĄ, kuris audžia tinklą tarp dviejų medžių, bet visi ,kas tik lekia pro šalį, voro tinklą suplėšo. Vaikai padeda išspręsti vorui jo problemą, o šis atsidėkodamas priaudžia plonų drobelių iš lininių siūlelių. Ausdamas papasakoja, koks svarbus senovėje buvo linas, lininio rankšluosčio burtų net velnias bijodavęs.Onytė patenkinta- ji jau turi lino audeklo, tereikia sukirpti ir drabužėlius pasiūti. Į pagalbą atlekia gandras su savo draugėmis , dangaus žirklėmis- kregždutėmis. Jos sukerpa sijonėlį, marškinius, prijuostę, visi drauge, pasiskolinę adatų iš ežio, pasiuva nuostabius tautinius lietuviškus rūbus. Onytė lydi Jonuką toliau- pas Juodąją tetulę. Jie prieina BALTĄJĄ LYGUMĄ ir sustoja pailsėti, duonos su medumi užvalgyti. Iš krūmokšnių išlenda alkanas VILKAS. Jis susidomi, kas čia taip kvepia? Vaikai duoda jam paragauti duonos. Vilkui patinka duona ir jis nusprendžia tapti vegetaru, pats kepti duoną. Jis susidomi, kaip ta duona gaminama.Išgirdęs visą ilgą duonos gimimo kelią, pilkis pakeičia nuomonę , vėl pasiskelbia esantis mėsėdis ir nudūlina į mišką gaudyti kiškių. Dar papasakoja vaikams ,kad miške ne jis vienas plėšrūnas gyvena.

Pagaliau Jonukas suranda Juodąją tetulę.

JUODOJI TETULĖ-Ką tu matei, pas mane eidamas?

JONUKAS-Pirmiausia aš priėjau žalią klonį.

JUODOJI TETULĖ

-Tai buvo mano pavasaris, pavasaris...

JONUKAS-Paskui aš mačiau gėlėtą pievą.

JUODOJI TETULĖ-Tai mano vasara, vasara.

JONUKAS-Paskui aš buvau auksiniame miške.

42

JUODOJI TETULĖ-Tai buvo mano ruduo, ruduo...O ką dar matei?

JONUKAS-Paskui ilsėjausi baltoje lygumoje.

JUODOJI TETULĖ-Tai buvo mano žiema...žiema... O ką dar matei?

JONUKAS-Aš priėjau mėlyną ežerą..

JUODOJI TETULĖ-Tai mano akys, akelės... O ko tu čia atėjai?

JONUKAS-Noriu, kad mane panešiotum.

JUODOJI TETULĖ-Jonuk, juk aš tave dieną vakarą, žiemą vasarą nešioju... Jau tūkstantį metų nepailsdama aš visus nešioju ir tūkstantį metų tuo pačiu vardu vadinuos.

JONUKAS-Tai gal tu ne mano tetulė?

JUODOJI TETULĖ-Aš tavo tetulė- gimtoji Lietuvos žemelė.

Johnny‘s seven friends

A voice is heard behind the screen.

 Johnny: Mummy! It’s me, baby bear. Bear me!

Johnny’s mummy is singing a lullaby.

Johnny’s mother: Aa-aa liūlia who surrounds my baby? You are surrounded by mummy, daddy and dirty kitty. The voice is heard again.  Johnny: Daddy! Bear me!

  Johnny’s daddy is singing a lullaby. A voice is heard again.

  Johnny: Mum, bear me! Mummy: Johnny, you are too big now, we need to work.

Johnny: Bear, bear me....

Mummy: Go to the Black gammer and let her carry you.

Johnny: The Black gammer? Will she carry me?

Daddy: Yes yes, she bears everybody.

Johnny: I’m going to look for the Black gammer!

Mummy: You have to take a little bite of bread for the journey, my dear Johnny.

Johnny is ready for his big journey. He leaves his home. On the way he meets a girl.

Girl: Who are you? Where are you going little boy?

Johnny: I am looking for the Black gammer. Who are you?

Ann: I am Ann. I am a Lithuanian girl. I am interested my country’s heritage and culture. I would like to have the old traditional clothes that the Lithuanian girls used to wear in the past.

Johnny: Why don‘t you ask your mum to buy them?

Ann: It is impossible to buy these clothes. Only the very old wise women are able to make

44

them. Maybe your gammer can make them?

Johnny: I don‘t know if she knows how to make them. Maybe, she can. Let‘s go together and we will ask her.

Ann: Let‘s go together and have fun.

The children go to the green valley. The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing. Suddenly a stork appears.

Stork: How dare you walk in my meadow! Are you Johnny and Ann? Where are you going?

Johnny: What is it? How does it know our names?

Ann: It is a stork, Johnny. It is Lithuania’s national bird. Well, it’s a symbol. Did you know that?

Johnny: Of course I did. There’s a large nest in my grandparent’s yard. Grandpa put an old carriage circle on a tree to make it easier for the stork to make its nest. I just don’t understand how it knows my name? Stork: Don’t you remember Johnny? I took you to your parents when you were born. Ann: Oh Johnny! Don’t you know that storks bring babies to Lithuania!

Johnny: Come on Ann, that’s a fairy tale for small children! Stork: Whether it’s a fairy tale for children or not that’s up to you. I just know that I brought you to your parents. If you don’t believe me well that’s too bad. I’m going to wonder in the swamp and hunt for some frogs. I am so tired after such a long journey.

Johnny: Wait! Where have you been? How did you travel?

Stork: I went to Africa for the winter.

Johnny: Did you fly so far away?

Stork: Of course! I have to do it. In winter it’s cold, there is no food, the frogs disappear…but I don’t fly alone to the south. Other birds fly with me, like the geese, the swallow, the swans, the lark, and the starling.

Johnny: Right, that’s why I only saw the crows in winter.

Ann: The sparrows, the tomtits are there too. But the birds are silent in winter.

Stork: It’s spring now so the birds have returned. They’re making their nests and they‘re going to breed soon.

Ann: The birds are singing everywhere. Listen, Johnny, as lapwing welcomes spring.

Stork: Tell me, where are you traveling?

45

Johnny: We go to the black gammer.

Ann: We are going to get some advice on how and where we can buy Lithuanian old traditional clothes.

Johnny: And I want to ask it to bear me.

Stork: Would you like to fly on me?

Johnny: No way! You don’t fool me! If I fly with you, you will take me to some other people and then they will say that the stork brought them a Johnny. I’m my parents’ darling even thought they are tired of me.We’ll give you a little bit of bread anyway. My mummy baked it herself.

Stork: Thank you my dears. If you need me, just shout and I will come immediately.

Johnny and Ann go through the green valley and enter the meadow full of flowers. They meet a hard-working bee which is in trouble. They released the bee. The bee is very grateful and talks about the flowers, the honey, the different type of honey, and shows where the Lithuanian national flower grows - it is rue. Johnny weaves a very nice crown for Ann.

Later they go to the lake. They find a little fish that is choking and save him. The kids throw the little fish into the water.

The fish tells the children all about the 3000 lakes, which occupy nearly 1000 km2 area, about the rivers which are connected to the Baltic Sea. The fish also talks about the Baltic Sea where the goddess Jurate once lived in a big amber palace. She loved Kastytis but he was human. God Perkunas was wrathful therefore he destroyed the amber palace and drowned Kastytis. Jurate’s tears turned to amber, which were washed to the shore by the waves. The fish give the children small pieces of amber, from which Johnny made a lovely necklace for Ann.

The children move on and they come to the golden forest. They can see the oak tree with the yellow leaves.

They meet a squirrel and help her collect the mushrooms she needs. The squirrel

46

tells them that the forest grows lots of different kind of mushrooms. Some are good but some are poisonous.Now they know that “musmire” is very a beautiful but poisonous mushroom. In the forest Johnny can also see lots of different types of trees such as birch, ash, linden, alder, pine, fir and oak. Now they learnt that in the ancient times oak was sacred tree.

Later they met a spider in the forest. He weaves webs between two trees, but anyone that walks through this place spoils the spider’s web. The children help to solve the problem. The spider is very happy and grateful therefore he weaves a thin cloth with linen thread. He talks about how important linen is and how the devil was afraid of the magic of the linen towel.

Ann is satisfied. She already has the linen cloth to make her Lithuanian traditional costume. She just has to cut out the garments from the linen cloth and sew them up. The stork and his friends come to help her. His friends are the swallows which are known as the sky scissors .They cut out a skirt, a shirt, and an apron. They borrowed the needles from hedgehog and sewed the wonderful ethnic Lithuanian costume.

Ann and Johnny continue their journey to the Black gammer. They reach a white cottage and stop for a rest. They want to have a little bit of bread with honey. A hungry wolf comes along. He wants to know what the children are doing there and what smells so tasty. The children give him some bread which he loved. He decides to become a vegetarian and he wants to bake bread for himself. The wolf wants to learn how the bread is made. The children tell the wolf how bread is made. After the long explanation the wolf

changed his mind and became once again a carnivorous and run into the forest to catch the hares. He tells the children that there are more predators in the forest.

Finally Johnny finds the Black gammer.

Black gammer: What did you see on your way here?

Johnny: Firstly I saw the green valley.

Black gammer: It was my spring, spring .

Johnny: Later I saw the meadow full of flowers. Black gammer: It was my summer, summer.

Johnny: Then I came to the golden forest.

Black gammer: It was my autumn, autumn.

What else did you see?

47

Then I had a rest in a white plant.

Black gammer: It was my winter, winter. And what did you see more?

Johnny: I reached the blue lakes.

Black gammer: They were my eyes, eyes. Why do you come here?

Johnny: I want you bear me.

Black gammer: Johnny, I bear you all day and all night, I bear you in winter and in summer. I bear you all one thousand years and one thousand years I am called by the same name.Johnny: Maybe you are not my gammer?

Black gammer: I am your gammer. I’m the native land of the Lithuanian people.

Pelos caminhos de Portugal

São 10h30m e a aula de Estudo do Meio, na pacata escola de Souto da Casa, perto do Fundão, decorre como é normal: a professora fala de Portugal e das suas paisagens bem como da integração de Portugal numa comunidade maior, a Europa. (Visualização dos diapositivos com fotografias das várias regiões de Portugal, tendo como fundo a canção “Pelos caminhos de Portugal”, de Mário Gil *)

Eis que a professora anuncia uma surpresa! Uma visita! O Igor é um menino Estónio e vem visitar Portugal. Todos estão muito atentos, pois querem saber mais sobre esse novo colega. A professora pergunta então quem estaria interessado em apresentar Portugal e a sua cultura ao Igor. Rapidamente, no meio da sala, levantou-se o braço de um menino.

Joãozinho – Eu, eu, eu, por favor, por favor…! Eu adoro viajar!Professora – Sim, Joãozinho, gostarias de partilhar com o teu colega a riqueza, a beleza

e a cultura do nosso país?Joãozinho – Sim, muito, senhora professora!Professora – Muito bem, João! Só pela tua resposta consigo ver que estarás bem no teu

papel de guia turístico.

Na manhã seguinte, partiram, convictos de que o olhar deles iria fazer paragens fantásticas. Como o dia iria ser longo e as caminhadas difíceis, levaram um lanche com o que de melhor se podia encontrar na região: o famoso e amanteigado queijo da Serra, as apetitosas cerejas do Fundão e a deliciosa broa de milho. Começaram, então, na Serra da Estrela, a serra mais alta de Portugal Continental.

Joãozinho – Sabes, aqui na Serra da Estrela, vivem pastores com os seus rebanhos, que percorrem montes e vales à procura de bons pastos depois da neve se derreter e os esquiadores se irem embora. A serra é a casa do pastor e do cão “Serra da Estrela”.

Cão – Ora vivam! O que andam estes meninos a fazer por estas bandas?

Joãozinho – Vim mostrar ao meu novo amigo as coisas bonitas do nosso país e comecei pela serra. Estava a falar de ti, a...

Cão – Calma, calma, eu explico-me. Como vês, sou um animal de grande porte, que defende as ovelhas dos lobos e as orienta. Sou fiel ao meu dono; enfim, sou um cão de guarda!

Igor – Hum, que interessante…! Eu também gosto muito de animais, mas tenho pena de não poder ter um. A minha mãe nunca me deixaria: vivo, num apartamento…! Vocês precisam de espaço e de cuidados, não é?

Cão – É bom que saibam que a minha raça é única em todo o mundo, por isso deve ser preservada.

Queijo da Serra de Estrela Cerejas Cão da Serra da Estrela

No dia seguinte, viajaram para norte até Guimarães e, pelo caminho, apreciaram a linda paisagem das vinhas em socalcos, nas margens do Douro, a partir das quais se produz o Vinho do Porto, um vinho adocicado, que é muito estimado em todo o mundo. Este vinho era transportado em pipas, nos barcos Rabelos, até ao Porto.

Joãozinho – Eis Guimarães e o seu castelo! O berço da nossa nacionalidade! Neste Castelo, nasceu D. Afonso Henriques, o primeiro rei de Portugal, aquele que veio a fundar a nação mais antiga da Europa.

Igor – A sério? Ouvi falar muito desse rei herói. É esta a sua estátua? Joãozinho – Sim e está junto ao seu castelo. D. Afonso Henriques – Olá, amigos! Igor – Que susto! A estátua animou-se? D. Afonso Henriques – Sim. Tenho algo importante a dizer-vos: lutem sempre para

concretizar os vossos sonhos e sejam felizes! Eu lutei muito, até contra a minha própria mãe, e consegui concretizar o meu: fundar uma nação independente. Neste momento, já não têm reis, já não vivem numa Monarquia, mas sim numa Democracia! Mas continuem a contar aos vossos filhos como nasceu Portugal! Viva a nossa Pátria! Viva Portugal! De repente, a estátua imobilizou-se, de novo, como que por magia, não dando oportunidade a que se despedissem com um agradecimento.

Mais um dia. Saíram de novo para sul, sempre à beira-mar, pela vasta costa litoral, até ao Porto, a segunda maior cidade de Portugal. Os meninos visitaram as caves do vinho do Porto, várias igrejas e monumentos, alguns parques e passaram pelas três pontes da cidade: a ponte da Arrábida, D. Luís e D. Maria. Ao almoço tiveram a oportunidade de provar as “Francesinhas” e as “Tripas à moda do Porto”.

Porto Francesinha Tripas à moda do Porto

Depois do almoço, o Joãozinho e o Igor partiram em direcção à praia da Nazaré. A caminho, resolveram fazer uma curta paragem em Coimbra, cidade dos estudantes e da mais velha Universidade portuguesa. Ouviram grupos a cantar pelas ruas, vestidos de capas pretas e violas no braço e ainda visitaram alguns monumentos famosos: o edifício da Universidade, a sua Biblioteca e um pequeno Portugal, a que chamam “Portugal dos Pequeninos” e onde se podem encontrar, em miniatura, todos os monumentos importantes em Portugal. Sentiram-se verdadeiros Gullivers naquele mundo tão pequenino.

À tarde, retomaram a sua viagem. Nazarena – “Rooms, Chambres, Zimmers”! E lá continuava ela:

Nazarena – Querem um quartinho, meninos? São turistas? Tenho o que procuram!

Outras mulheres esperavam na praia, fitando o mar. O que faziam elas, ali, vestidas com tantas saias e saiotes rodados (sete ao todo), pelo joelho, de xaile aos ombros e de chinelos nos pés, de olhos pregados no horizonte? Decidiram investigar... Joãozinho – Viva! O que fazem aqui? Porque se vestem assim? O que procuram no mar? Nazarena – Vivam meninos! Este é o nosso traje típico…não vamos noutras modas…! Os nossos maridos são pescadores, andam no mar todo o santo dia e noite… Partem de madrugada, quem sabe se para voltar… Ai, é uma aflição! Sempre que o mar está ruim eu bem lhe digo: “Não vás ao mar, Toino!”

Despediram-se, com um sorriso, e foram jantar. Resolveram comer uma caldeirada: um prato típico composto por batatas, cebola, tomate, pimentos, peixe e regado com azeite.

52

Universidade de Coimbra Alunos da universidade CaldeiradaNo dia seguinte, partiram rumo à capital, Lisboa. Já lhes crescia água na boca só de

pensarem nos famosos e deliciosos pastéis de Belém, umas das maiores especialidades gastronómicas da cidade de Lisboa. A receita deste doce mantém-se em segredo, por isso é tão apreciado.

Eis Lisboa...Cidade de marinheiros, aventureiros que ouviram o mar chamá-los: Joãozinho – Olha, repara naquela bonita construção ali ao fundo. Antigamente estava lá só uma capelinha, mas agora é um magnífico mosteiro, o de Belém, conhecido pela sua arquitectura manuelina (cordas, âncoras, tudo esculpido na pedra). E, vês, além, é a Torre de Belém e ali o Padrão dos Descobrimentos? Igor – Ena!!! É imponente! Joãozinho – É uma caravela construída em pedra, pronta a partir pelo Tejo, até ao Oceano Atlântico! Foi um monumento erguido para homenagear as figuras mais importantes envolvidas no processo dos Descobrimentos Marítimos Portugueses...

E, de repente, um dos marinheiros do Padrão olhou-os de frente e disse, fitando o mar: Marinheiro – Ó mar salgado! Quanto do teu sal são lágrimas de Portugal! Quantos de nós morreram para que fosses nosso, ó mar! Se valeu a pena?! Tudo vale a pena quando a alma não é pequena! Igor estava felicíssimo e surpreendido com a grandiosidade deste nobre povo… Igor – Mas, então, deixa-me ver...foi o teu povo que descobriu o Brasil e o caminho marítimo para a Índia? Joãozinho – Exactamente... mas Portugal não se fez só de aventureiros! Também de pessoas apegadas à Terra. Olha, vamos até ao Alentejo…deixemos as paragens e sonhos de Além-mar.

Torre de Belém Padrão dos Descobrimentos Pasteis de Belém

No dia seguinte, ao som do fado, uma canção típica mas, às vezes, um pouco triste, partiram para o Alentejo. De súbito, ao mirar as searas das extensas planícies alentejanas, pareceu-lhes que um espantalho colorido lhes acenava e sorria: Espantalho – Ora vivam, caros amigos! Há muito que vos esperava…Deve ser bom viajar, mas eu sinto-me feliz, preso a esta terra e sentindo o poiso dos pássaros, ouvindo o seu chilrear primaveril.

Sob o tórrido sol da planície, e depois de uma bela açorda alentejana, já companheiros (quase compadres), prosseguiram a viagem.

53

Açorda alentejana

Joãozinho – O Alentejo é, infelizmente, cada vez mais uma via de passagem para o Algarve, o Al Gharbe. Igor – Espantoso! Let´s go to the Algarve. Joãozinho – Mesmo! Para além disso, o Algarve hoje é o El Dourado turístico do nosso país. Tem as mais belas praias do mundo, de areia branca, dourada e fina, e uma hospitalidade fora do comum…

Turista – Hello, how are you? What a beautiful landscape! I’ve been dreaming with this sun for ages! Is this Praia da Rocha?

Joãozinho – Sim, esta praia é muito bonita, com as suas falésias e grutas, o seu extenso areal e o mar calmo como uma piscina.

Turista – Yes, this is just wonderful. It’s incredible! It’s paradise! Portugal also has the famous football players Figo and Ronaldo… this is really amazing!

Olharam um para o outro e concordaram, com um sorriso. Despediram-se, desejando uma boa estadia à turista inglesa, e foram dar um mergulho no mar, límpido e cristalino, sonhando já com o docinho de alfarroba do jantar, a sardinha assada, a batata cozida, a salada…

Algarve Sardinha assada Alfarroba

Ao jantar, o Joãozinho falou das regiões autónomas da Madeira e dos Açores. Estes dois arquipélagos ficam no oceano Atlântico e são de origem vulcânica. Estas ilhas foram descobertas no século XV. São lindíssimas, cobertas de vegetação e de flores.

Madeira Madeira Açores

54

Assim, Igor terminou a sua viagem pelas sete paragens portuguesas, sete lugares recônditos da “Ocidental Praia Lusitana” que Camões, o maior poeta dessa terra que dizem “estar à beira-mar plantada”, disse ser Portugal. Aí, conquistou laços de amizades que, de alguma forma, contribuirão para uma maior humanização do povo europeu.

Canção - Pelos Caminhos de Portugal

55

Pelos caminhos de Portugal Eu vi tanta coisa linda Vi um mundo sem igual.

Eu vi Estoril, Eu vi Sintra, eu vi Cascais, Da Batalha eu fui a Fátima Onde a fé vive bem mais. Eu vi Coimbra Terra de muito aconchego De Viseu fui pra Lamego, Cheguei a Vila Real.

Em Trás-os-Montes Com carinho eu vi Bragança Terra cheia de amizade De amor e de esperança. E vi aldeias Vi o Parâmio e vi o Zeire Onde nasceu minha mãe E uma infância feliz teve.

Estive em Chaves, Vi o Bom Jesus em Braga, De Monção fui pelo Minho Onde a beleza não se acaba. Fiquei contente Em Viana do Castelo E de Póvoa de Varzim Ao Porto que eu tanto quero.

Meu rico Espinho Meu rico Aveiro E depois fui por Figueira da Foz E de Leiria Nazaré, Alcobaça, Fui por Caldas da Raínha E Santarém logo após Lá em Peniche Comi boa caldeirada Em Sesimbra foi sardinhas E em Setúbal só uma olhada.

Val de Lobo Lá no Algarve, Portimão, Em Tavira e em Faro Eu deixei meu coração.

Serra da Estrela Que é tão célebre,

A boa Évora e a linda Portalegre, Castelo Branco, Covilhã e já não tarda A terra do meu pai A tão querida Guarda.

Tenho que ir À Madeira e aos Açores À procura de belezas. Sei que me falta ver Muita coisa e boa Porém, já estou contente Pois vi o céu, eu vi Lisboa, Eu vi o céu, eu vi Lisboa.

It’s half past ten in the morning. In a quite school in Souto da Casa, a village near Fundão, there is a History/Geography class being taught. The teacher talks about Portugal, its landscape as well as Portugal being part of a bigger community which is Europe. (Slides are shown focusing the different regions of Portugal to the sound of a song entitled “Through the roads of Portugal” by Mario Gil).

The teacher says there is a surprise! There is someone new in class! Igor is a little boy from Estonia and he came to visit Portugal. Everyone is paying attention. Everyone wants to know more about this little boy. The teacher asks who would like to show Portugal and its culture to Igor. Immediately somewhere in the middle of the classroom someone puts his hand up.

Joãozinho: Please, please! I will, I will, I will!Teacher: Joãozinho, so you would like to show your new friend the wonderful things

that Portugal has and the Portuguese culture.Joãozinho: Yes! Yes! I would.Teacher: Very well Joãozinho! I think you will do a good tourist guide.

The following morning the boys started their journey. One could see in their eyes that they were sure that they we going to have a fantastic journey with several stops. As it was going to be a long day and they would have to walk quite a lot, they took a snack with some of the best things there are to eat in this region which is the lovely soft cheese, tasty cherries from Fundão and the delicious corn bread. Their first stop was at Mountain Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain in the mainland of Portugal.

Joãozinho: On Serra da Estrela Mountain there are shepherd who live here with their flocks of sheep. After the snow has melted and the ski-runners have left they move around the mountain in search of rich pasture. The mountain is the home for the shepherds and for a special breed of dogs called Serra da Estrela.

Dog: Hello! What are these little boys doing here?

Joãozinho: I’m here to show my new friend all the lovely things there are in our country. I decided to start our journey from this mountain. I was actually talking about you…

Dog: Keep it cool man! Keep it cool man! I’ll explain myself. As you can see I’m a big animal. I look after the sheep and help them find their way. I’m a very loyal dog. Oh well, I’m a sheep dog!

Igor: Hum, that interesting! I also love animals but I’m afraid I can’t have an animal of my own. My mother wouldn’t allow it as we live in a flat. Animals need a lot of space and caring for, isn’t it?

Dog: You should know that my breed is one of the kind therefore we have to be preserved.

The following day they travelled to Guimarães. Along the slopes of the Douro River they could see the beautiful vineyards that make the sweet Porto Wine which is worldwide known. This wine used to be transported to Oporto in barrels by boats called Rabelos.

Joãozinho: This is Guimarães and its castle! It’s the birthplace of Portugal, where everything started. It was in this castle that the first Portuguese King, Afonso Henrique, was born. He was the one who founded Portugal, the oldest country in Europe.

Igor: Really? I’ve heard quite a lot about this king. Is this his statue?

Joãozinho: Yes, it is. It’s next to the castle.

King Afonso Henrique: Hello my friends!

Igor: What fright! The statue is alive?

King Afonso Henrique: Yes, I’m alive. I have something very important to tell you. Be happy and always follow your dreams! My dream was to build an independent country. I had a hard time. I even had to fight against my mother. Right now Portugal has no king. The country is no longer a monarchy. It’s now a democracy country. You have to tell your children how Portugal was founded. Long live Portugal! Long live our country!

Suddenly the statue as if magical stopped being alive. There was no time to thank the statue for all the information.

It’s another day. They boys carried their trip along the south sea coast until they came to Oporto, the second biggest city in Portugal. The boys saw the wine lodges, several churches and monuments, some parks and they crossed the three main bridges: Arrábida Bridge, D. Luis and D. Maria. During lunch they had the opportunity to taste “Francesinha” and “Tripas à moda do Porto” (tripe stew).

Oporto Francesinha Tripas à moda do Porto

After lunch Joãozinho and Igor left for the beach at Nazaré. On their way they decided to have a quick stop at Coimbra. It is known as the town of students and it has the oldest Portuguese university. One can see along the streets students dressed with black cloaks, playing

60

guitars and singing. The boys visited some famous monuments: University building, the university’s library and Portugal dos Pequeninos which is an open-air setting where one can see miniature reproductions of the most famous buildings and monuments in Portugal. In Portugal dos Pequeninos they felt huge like Gulliver in such a small setting.

In the afternoon they continued their journey.

Nazarena: “Rooms, Chambers, simmers!”

She carried on:

Nazarena: Do you need a room my little boys? Are you tourists? I’ve got exactly what you need!

On the beach there were other women waiting. While they were waiting they stared deeply at the sea. What were they doing there dressed up that way? They wore so many knee length skirts plus a petticoat (seven of them), a shawl around their shoulders and black slippers. The boys decided to investigate.

Joãozinho: Hello! What are you doing here? Why are you dressed up like that? What are you looking for?

Nazarena: Hello my dear boys! Fashion is not for us! This is our typical costume… Our husbands are fishermen and they are out at sea all day and all night… They leave early in the morning and we don’t even know if they will return home… It’s so frightening! When the sea is troublesome I always say to my husband “Don’t go to the sea, Toino!”.

They smiled and said good-bye. Then they had dinner. They decided to eat caldeirada. It’s a typical dish which has potatoes, onions, tomatoes, pepper, fish and olive oil.

Coimbra’s university University students Caldeirada

The following day they drove to the capital city - Lisbon. They became really hungry when they thought about the lovely well known custard cakes called Pasties de Belém, one of the finest pastries in Lisbon. Its recipe has been kept a secret that why they are so special.

Lisbon… A city of sailors and navigators. They heard the sea calling for them.

Joãozinho: Look over there at that beautiful building. Before it used to be a chapel now it’s a magnificent monastery of Belém, recognized for its Manueline architecture (stones are covered with ropes, anchor). Over there you can see the Tower of Belém and here you can see the Padrão dos Descobrimentos (Monument to the Discoveries).

Igor: Wow! It’s huge!

61

Joãozinho: It’s a caravel made of stone and ready to leave the Tagus River and into the Atlantic Ocean! This monument was built to pay homage to all those that took part in the Portuguese sea discoveries…

Suddenly one of the sailors of the Monument to the Discoveries looked straight ahead, staring into the sea, said:

Sailor: Salt Sea! How much of your salt are Portugal’s tears? How many of us died so that you could belong to us? Was it worthwhile?! When our soul isn’t small everything is worthy!

Igor was happy and surprised with the Portuguese people…

Igor: So, let me see… was it the Portuguese that discovered Brazil and the sea route to India?

Joãozinho: Exactly… Portugal didn’t only have sea adventurers but it also had people that worked hard in the fields. Let’s stop thinking about the past and the sea and let’s go Alentejo.

Tower of Belém Padrão dos Descobrimentos Pastéis de Belém

The following day they left for Alentejo. During the journey they heard fado. It’s a typical Portuguese music which is sometimes sad. Suddenly as they looked at the long flat plain corn fields of Alentejo they saw a colourful scarecrow smiling and waving at them.

Scarecrow: Hi! My dear friends! I’ve been waiting for you… It must be rather nice travelling around. Here I am stuck on the ground but happy. I can feel the birds on me and in summer I can hear their lovely singing.

After having a lovely açorda alentejana, under the hot sun, the boys continued their journey.

Joãozinho: Unfortunately people just drive through the Alentejo to go to the Al Gharbe.

Igor: Fascinating! Let’s go to the Algarve.

Joãozinho: Really! Furthermore the Algarve is the main touristic spot in our country. It’s considered EL Dourado. It has the best beaches in the world. The beaches have fine white sand and the hospitality is unique…

Tourist: Hello! What a beautiful landscape! I’ve been dreaming with this sun for ages! Is this the Rocha beach?

62

Joãozinho: Yes. This beach is beautiful with all its cliffs and caves. It has a huge area of sand and the sea is calm like a swimming-pool.

Tourist: Yes, this is just wonderful. It’s incredible! It’s paradise! Portugal also has the famous football players Figo and Ronaldo… this is really amazing!

The boys looked at each other, smiled and agreed with the tourist. They wished the English tourist a lovely holiday and said good-bye. The boys dived into the clear crystal sea waters and dreamt about what they were going to have for dinner: sweet carob, grilled sardines, boiled potatoes, salad…

Algarve Grilled sardines Carob

During dinner Joãozinho talked about the autonomous regions of Portugal –Madeira and Azores. These two sets of islands are in the Atlantic Ocean and they all have volcanic origins. These islands were discovered in XV century. They are very beautiful, covered with vegetations and flowers.

Madeira Madeira Azores

Igor ended his journey around Portugal which had seven stops. Portugal’s greatest poet, Camões, described Portugal as the “Lusitana Western Beach”. During the journey the boys developed their friendship and understanding which will help make Europe a better place.

Song – Through the roads of Portugal

64

Through the roads of PortugalI saw lots of lovely thingsA world never seen before.

I saw Estoril,I saw Sintra, I saw Cascais,From Batalha I went to FátimaWhere there is faith.I saw CoimbraTown of great warmthFrom Viseu I went to Lamego,Arrived in Vila Real.

In Trás-os-Montes With tenderness I saw BragançaTown filled with friendship Love and hopeAnd I saw the villages I saw Parâmio and I saw ZeireWhere my mother was bornAnd she had a happy childhood.

I was in Chaves,I saw Bom Jesus in Braga,From Monção I went to MinhoWhere the beauty is endless.I was happyIn Viana do CasteloAnd from Póvoa de VarzimUntil Oporto that I want so much.

My dear EspinhoMy dear AveiroThen I went to Figueira da FozFrom LeiriaNazaré, Alcobaça,I went to Caldas da RaínhaAnd Santarém afterIn PenicheI ate a good caldeiradaIn Sesimbra I had sardinesIn Setúbal I had a pip.

Val de LoboIn the Algarve, Portimão,In Tavira and in FaroI left my heart.

Serra da Estrela

Which is well known,The good Evora and the beautiful Portalegre,Castelo Branco,Covilhã and soon My father’s townThe sweet Guarda.

I have to goto Madeira and to AzoresSearching for the beauty.I know there are still lots of things to seeBut I’m happyWell I saw the sky, I saw Lisbon,I saw the sky, I saw Lisbon.

Mário Gil

TURKEY - AS SWEET AS HONEY

Fatma and Can come to the stage and introduce themselves.Fatma: Hello friends! I am a classmate of Can. We are students in Private Balıkesir Primary School.We will try to tell about our paradise country.Can: Respected Guests ,Welcome to our Puppet Theatre Show! First of all I will introduce myself.Don’t see me just as a simple puppet…I am Can that means the life.I have a great duty that I have to teach my country in six countries in our Comenius Project.Its name is Johnny’ s 7 Friends.On behalf of Turkey I am a friend of Johnny. Fatma will help me do my best on this hard task. We met with Johnny in Portugal and I invited him to Turkey.Now I am inviting Johnny to the stage. Scene 1

Can: Welcome to our country Johnny! Johnny: Thank you very much. I am proud of being your friend and seeing Turkey.Can: I believe that you will love my nation and country. We are going to make you live different cities and values.Johnny: I am very curious about the Turkish culture and traditions.Can: I am a real lover of Istanbul. Istanbul strait that is the bridge between Europe and Asia is a center of culture and art. Our muslim nation have lived with our Christian and Jewish brothers together peacefully for six centuries.Ottoman heritage city Istanbul is a place where universal tolerance became real in peace .Religious temples ,mosques,churches and synagogues were always open to everyone to show that world peace is possible. We love every creature because God created them.Fatma: Education and usage of language are taught in high level.Istanbul Turkish language is the base of our country.

Can: Our mosques make Istanbul spiritual city,and each and every mosque is a light of history and enlightens the young

69

generations.Historical places are Hagia Sophia,Suleymaniye,Blue Mosque,Grand Covered Bazaar and Topkapi Palace.Miniaturk is an outdoor museum where you can find prototypes of every historical masterpieces of our history.Fatma: We will travel by plane.Now let’s go to the city of Van.

Scene 2

Can: Shall we introduce you our eastern city of Van .It is accepted as beautiful as Paris.Johnny : It has special cats.I heard this and you know I love animals.Fatma: Van ‘s cat has got different colour of eyes.One of them is blue and other is green.Johnny : I am so surprised!Can:Our people are very friendly. Family relations are so closed and living in union of family and respecting the elders and loving the youngers are great values which you can see in every region of Turkey. Family Relations are very closed within Turks. They respect their elder and support each other in every way. Fathers and Mothers do support their children financially until they get married. When the child gets married the financial support may continue but it is expected that the new family could earn enough and manage their livings. Children do care very much about their elders. They take care of their elders and support them when they get old or ill both financially and mentally . This closed relation is a kind of boomerang, elders support children when they are young , children support their elders when they are old... Johnny : I am very impressed with family values.The lake of Van and Akdamar island are very important for Christianity. Lake Van is in the realm of the beauties of Eastern Anatolia. Mountain silhouettes, coves, beaches, islands, waterfalls and centers belonging to various historical ages are located around the lake.Fatma: Among the islands in Lake Van, Akdamar Island is the most beautiful. This is the place in the region that becomes green the earliest in the spring. There is a church remaining from the tenth century on the island, which can be reached by motorboat from the wharf, at a distance of 45 km from Van. The external facade of the church is covered with reliefs from the Old Testament and New Testament of the Bible.Johnny: Your country is an exhibition centre.Can: I traveled eight cities in eight days. If we travel 81 cities it can take more than three months but we can’t finish telling.

Scene 3 Can: Great and famous folk philosopher whose memory has become a legend. His anecdotes which are verbally transmitted at everywhere where Turkish is spoken is popular among all classes and levels of people.In my opinion he looks like Santa Claus.I will tell you one of his anecdotes which has the name of cat and the liver.

After the Hodja got the recipe for liver from his friend, he bought again some liver and because he liked it very much, he wanted to eat it often. But everytime when he brought livers he couldn't eat it, because his wife said that the cat took the liver and fled away. One day the Hodja became angry and said: “Woman, I brought liver! Where is it?” “Oh”, said his wife. “The silly cat took it and fled away.”

70

At the same time the cat was in the room. The Hodja caught it, brought a steelyard and weighted the cat. Then he said: “That is exactly two kilos. And the liver which I brought was also two kilos. Now tell me: If that is the liver where is my cat, if that is the cat, then I want my liver.”

Johnny : He was a humorous and very intelligent person,too.

Fatma: Now let’s fly to Ankara.

Scene 4

Can: We will travel in Ankara which is the capital city of Turkey. Ankara, the heart of the National War of Independence, has been planned in a modern manner and developed in a short period of time. The most interesting structure in Ankara is the Anitkabir (Mausoleum), constructed for Ataturk who was the founder of Turkey.Ankara is the heart of government and it has the standards of European cities.

Fatma: Kocatepe mosque is an excellent and huge like a stadium that 30 000 people can pray inside.

Can: I want to mention about Turkish sports. Javelin,Cirit, is a traditional sport of Turks played since centuries form the times of Turkic States. The Javelin was the main game of Turks during ceremonies and considered to be the oldest of Turkish equestrian sports.

Can: Grease Wrestling is the Turkish national sport and every year, in July, wrestling championships are held in Kırkpınar, outside Edirne. The contest is made more difficult by the fact that the wrestlers smear themselves with oil. 

Johnny: Using oil is very interesting.

Fatma: A tree is bent while yet it is young.

Can: Turkey gained the struggle for freedom in Ankara.

Scene 5

Can: I would like to give you an evil eye as a present.

Johnny: There is an eye on it.

Can: We believe it protects people from evil eyes but it is a story ,in real God protects us.

Johnny : Yes. Wonderful! What is the next city Can?

71

Can: We are going to prophets’ city Urfa.Father of three religion H. Abraham and H.Ayyub lived in this city. Enemies threw him into fire but fire changed into a pool with fish.God protected the prophet .Johhny: This is a good sample for protection.

Scene 6

Can: Let’s go to Trabzon which I saw in summer. Trabzon is the most important and largest port on the Black Sea coast.

Johnny : It is very high ,isn’t it? I read it on internet.Can: The magnificent Sumela Monastery, which is almost higher than the clouds, is in this national park. The monastery, perched on the facade of a cliff, at a height of 270 meters, assumed its most magnificent form during the period of the Comnene King Alexis III.Johnny: Incredible!Can: A library, church, rooms of the priests, chapel, sacred water spring and kitchen are inside the monastery.

Fatma: Black Sea is a super place which blends the green and blue.Can: Our duty is to protect the precious nature and historical places from our past civilizations.

Scene 7

Can: We must see Konya ,the city of Mewlana..Johnny: I haven’t heard about it before.Can: “Whoever you are ,come to God’s gate”says Mewlana.His heart is so generous and open to whole world.Johnny: I remember the year of Mewlana by UNESCO.Can: Mevlana, who summarized his life with the words, "I was raw, cooked and then burned" like a fruit for God’s sake.Johnny: Like a fruit!Very good point.Fatma: In this Project we are going to learn many things .I wonder about

other countries.

Scene 8

Can: Finally , I am going to tell you abou the traditional puppet show ,Hacivat And Karagöz. Theatrical art in Turkey is currently believed to have developed from the same religious, moral and educational urge to imitate human actions that accompanied its growth in other countries, particularly in ancient Greece. The puppet shadow play, which involves two-

dimensional puppets (figures) casting its shadow on a two-dimensional area of screen, had an important place in Turkey as well as throughout the larger area of the Ottoman Empire. To understand its place let us glance at four main traditions of theatre in Turkey. These are the “folk theatre tradition”, the “popular theatre tradition - shadow play (karagoz), storyteller”, the “court theatre tradition”, and the “western theatre tradition”. In order to understand the

significance of Turkish puppets shadow play, these deserve special brief study.Johnny: It is similar to our Project.Can: It shows traditions like coffeehoues,Turkish tea. They make you laugh at the same time think.Johnny: Thank you very much my friends for knowledge.

72

Can: Who handles honey has the chance to lick his fingers. Turkey is as sweet as

honey,JohnnyOur doors are always open to you .

Johnny: Thanks again.I am impatient to share with my other friends.

Can: Say hello to other friends .

Fatma: Whenver you want to come Turkey we are ready to help you.

Johnny:I appreciated your Turkish hospitality…
