Once upon a time, on the outskirts of Huge, dense forest there lived a woodcutter with his son. They were poor but happy.
The son:
- Your pea soup and bread are so good Father! The best in the world!
The father:
- Ha…Ha… Ha… Now come on, off to bed!
The son:
- Tomorrow we are getting our results. Frank thinks I will come first! You know
Frank says…
The father:
- Go to sleep now Sam, it’s late.
Frank was Sam’s best friend and they loved each other.
And today Frank was happier than usual.
Frank:
- Hey Sam! Come on! Uncle John will be so happy to hear that you have Topped
our entire grade!
Sam:
- Ha…ha…. Yup I know! Dad’s going to be really happy!
Frank:
- Then what are you slacking for?
Sam:
- Look at this stone. It’s not everyday that you find such a perfectly round
stone. Check it out!
Frank:
- Ha... Ha… First one to the hut wins! (runs to the hut)
Sam:
- That’s not fair!
Frank:
- Well, come on! Slow coach!
BOTH:
- Ha… Ha… Ha… Ha…
Frank:
- Uncle John! Guess what happened today!
The father:
- What is it Frank? Relax, sit down for a bit, will you?
Frank:
- Uncle John! The results came out today and Sam has stood first in the entire
grade!
The father:
- Really? Ah! My son! I am so proud of you!
Sam:
- Ha…haa…. haaa…. Thanks Dad!
Frank:
- Uncle, they are even thinking of promoting Sam one class ahead the next year!
Ha… Ha… Ha… Ha… You see uncle, Sam will become a Doctor real soon!
Sam:
- Father! What’s wrong?
The father:
- You two of you must be hungry. I saved up some bread for you… It’s over there
on the table.
Frank:
- Uncle John! What is it?
Sam:
- Tell us father! Please!
The father:
- I am sorry son, but I can’t pay for you school anymore.
Sam:
- Dad!
The father:
- I can barely save money for food and clothes. Sending you to school is
impossible…
Frank:
- I can ask my father, maybe…
Sam:
- Thanks Frank, but no! You know what? Why don’t I help you with chopping wood
, that way we can chop more wood together which means we can earn more money
and we will soon have enough for me to return to school!
Frank:
- You chop wood?
Sam:
- Why not! Dad does it…
Frank:
- But…
Sam:
- I am only trying to make the most of the fact that I am good at learning
things fast. Just as I learn at school, I shall learn how to chop wood and help
father earn enough money for me to go back to schoool!
The father:
- No, Sam. Cutting wood is hard. Plus I only have one axe!
Frank:
- We have two axes at home! I will ask Father to lend you one, and Sam I’ill
even teach you everything they do in school so that when you come back you will
be up tp speed!
Sam:
- Yes! Thanks Frank! You are my best friend!
Frank:
- We’ll just make the most of it! I’ll bring you the axe!
The next day, Sam left with his father into the forest
to chop wood and worked hard till noon.
The father:
- Always look for already fallen, dead trees first son. As far as we can help
it, we must not chop down good, healthy
trees!
Sam:
- Yes Father! In school we learn that trees have life too! So we mustn’t hurt
them.
The father:
- Oh… Son, you wanted to become a Doctor. Nad now you have to work here… I am
sorry!
Sam:
- Father! Don’t you say that we must make the most of life… We’ll get through
this together, Father. And I will become a doctor and help people… When I grow
up you will never have to work again…
The father:
- OOOOOHH! If I don’t work what will I do all day? Ha.. ha.. I love you son!
Now come on, let’s rest a while and have our lunch. Come sit. Have your lunch!
A bird flies. And Sam looks at it.
Sam:
- Look Father! What a beautiful bird!
The son runs after the bird.
The father:
- Your lunch! Sam… come back!
Sam:
- I won’t be long father!
The father:
- Be careful! Kids… whoooo!
Sam followed the beautiful bird deep into the forest.
Sam:
- Ooooh! Where am I? I must have come far! Time to go back, father must be
waiting… ufffff!
A voice:
- Help me! Help me!
Sam looks around.
Sam:
- Where are you?
A voice:
- Over here by the bush…
Sam:
- I’m coming!
A voice:
- Here! Here! Yes!
Sam finds a bottle. He sees there is something in the
bottle.
A voice:
- Let me out! Let me out! Please, let me out! Help me!
Sam:
- Poor thing! Of course I’ll help you.
Sam opens the bottle. Something comes out from it.
Sam:
- Who are you? What are you?
The spirit:
- I am a spirit that was locked in the bottle 500 years ago. Today you realesed
me. You deserve your reward!
Sam:
- Reward?
The spirit:
- Yes, your reward. I was told I must kill the person who sets me free.
Sam:
- Why? Is this the ways to return a favour?
The spirit:
- Well, if you are wise and smart, save youself from me or else prepare to die.
Sam:
- I did not know that death is the prize for letting you free. That is not
fair…
The spirit:
- Hard luck!
Sam:
- How do I know that you were the one in the bottle…
The spirit:
- Didn’t you just release me from there…
Sam:
- How do I know whether you are the same spirit or some other bigger one who
came here in all the smoke and ate up the smaller spirit in the bottle!
The spirit: -
What?
Sam:
- Yes!I can’t trust you megical beings…
The spirit: -
So what do you want me to do?
Sam:
- Hmmmm… Let me see… Get back to the bottle and I shall know you are the same
spirit!
The spirit: -
Well! That is so simple!
The spirit gets back into the bottle and Sam closes
it.
The spirit: -
What? No…
Sam:
- Serves you right for being so mean…
The spirit: -
Don’t leave… please don’t leave… Let me out! I promise I won’t hurt you!
trust you?
The spirit: -
I was only testing you to see if you worthy enough for the real reward. Had I
been evil, would have killed you. Not listened to you and made my self small…
Think!
Sam:
- Well, that is true!
The spirit: -
I won’t hurt you, just let me out!
Sam:
- Alright!
The boy sets the spirit free again.
The spirit: -
Aaahh! Freedom at last! Thanks you!
Sam:
- Enjoy your freedom!
The spirit: -
Wait! Don’t you want your reward?
Sam:
- Oh no! Thanks!
The spirit: -
I was only testing you… Take this, Please! Take
this!
Sam:
- What is it?
The spirit: -
If you rub the silver end of the cloth on any metal, it will become silver… And
the other red end if rubbed on any wound, the wound will heal. Take it! Use it
wisely my frind!
Sam takes the cloth from the spirit. The happy spirit
flies away.
The father:
- Where is this boy? I must go to look for him…
Sam:
- Father! See what I got?
The father:
- Sam? My son! I was so worried!
Sam:
- All our worries are over! Let’s go home and I’ll tell you!
The father:
- Home? We came here to work son! You go
on if you are tired…
Sam:
- Father, I don’t know the way home. Come with me. I have so much to tell you
and Frank. Please!
The father:
- Is everything OK?
Sam:
- Just come with me and I’ll tell you everything…
The father:
- Aaah! Alright! Slowly Sam, I’m coming!
And that evening Sam told his father and Frank
everything…
Frank:
- Shall we test it?
The father:
- It is a waste of time…
Sam:
- I’ll grab a knife…
Sam rubs the knife with the cloth. It becomes silver.
Sam:
- It works! It works!
The father:
- Haaan!
Sam: -
Now all our worries are over! What else can I rub? This plate, that mug, the
kettle! How much do you think we can get for it? Let’s find out!
Both friends went to a jeweller’s shop to sell the
silver.
The shop keeper:
- I must say, this is very good silver… Here you go…
Sam:
- Yes!
The friends comes back home. The father is waiting for
them.
The father:
- Dinner is ready! Your favourite peas soup Sam!
Sam:
- Father! We no longer have to eat soup and bread. Look at all the wonderful
things money can buy! I never knew money can buy such lovely food!
Frank:
- Uncle John, the soup is really nice!
The father:
- Thank you Frank, I am worried about Sam.
Frank:
- Don’t worry uncle, he is just excited.
The father:
- Hmmmm… I hope it wears off soon.
But frm that day, Sam became increasingly rude and
proud and haughty.
Sam:
- Let me see, what I can convert to silver today…
Frank:
- hey Sam! I brought you my books! Let’s study together. Now that you will
coming back to school, you better know what is going on…
Sam doesn’t listens to Frank.
Frank:
- Sam? Come on! Since you are coming back to school!
Sam:
- Back to school? Why?
Frank:
- What do you mean why? You wanted to become a doctor. Right?
Sam:
- Well, that was only to make money. Now that I have my magic cloth, I can have
all the money I want. So why should I study?
Frank:
- What about helping people?
Sam:
- That I can do with my money and with the magic healing from the other side of
the cloth.
Sam takes another mug in his hand.
Sam:
- Shall I turn this to silver?
Days passes and one day Franks comes. Sam is counting
his coins on the floor.
Frank:
- Sam, come, everyone’s waiting, let’s play…
Sam:
- nope. I don’t want to play, Frank. You want to help me count the coins. It
will be fun!
Frank:
- Sam, ever since you got that cloth, you have changed.
Sam:
- Ever since I got that cloth, you are jealous!
Frank:
- What?
Sam:
- Now leave and let me count in peace!
Outside the house Frank meets Sam’s father.
The father:
- You are a good boy, Frank.
More days passes and one morning the father is going
to work.
Sam:
- Dad! Why do you insist on going to work? We have more than enough money now!
The father:
- And If I don’t go to work what shall I do all day?
with me! I
get bored!
The father:
- Why? Where are all your friends? Realise son, work is its own reward.
Sam meets Frank on the road.
Sam:
- Frank! Hey Frank! Look what I found! Wanna play?
Frank:
- You don’t go to school but I do…
Now Sam was
missing Frank. No amount of coins could take his loneliness away. Sam could not
buy laughter or fun or joy…
After school.
Frank’s friend:
- Bye Frank!
Frank:
- Bye!
Sam meets Frank again.
Sam:
-Hey Frank! Wanna play?
Frank:
- I have homework!
Sam:
- We’ll do it together…
Frank:
- Why, don’t you have any coins to count?
Sam had learnt his lesson. He knew money was not
everything. There was so much more to life…
The father:
- Son?
Sam:
- Father! I am going to join school again. Don’t worry father. I have taken
only as much as I need to play for my fees. Please keep this with you father!
Sam gives his magic cloth to his father.
Sam:
- You were right. Work is its own reward! I realise that now.
The father:
- My son! I am proud of you!
Sam goes to the school and meets Frank on the way.
Sam:
- Frank! Hey Frank! I am sorry, Frank! I am so sorry! I had become mean, rude
and useless!
Frank:
- yes! You had become mean, rude and
useless.
Sam:
- But it is so much better fun to play with you and study with you, and run
after birds and eat with father than turning things to silver and counting
coins! Will you forgive me?
Frank:
- Only if you reach school before I do!
Frank runs towards to the school.
Sam:
- But that’s not fair!
Frank:
- Come on! You slow coach!
And Frank and Sam became friends again.
