T. Dear, children! I am sure all of you would like to be actors. Imagine that you are actors, let’s play! But at first read these stories than use gestures and mime to dramatize these ones.

(Pupils  are  proposed to read the stories and  to  show the plot by mean of gestures.)

                                     The Lion and the Mouse

         Once there was a big forest. The lion was the king of the forest. One day he was having his afternoon nap. A little young mouse was playing near him. She jumped on his back and the lion woke up. He caught the mouse in his paw. The mouse said to him, “Oh, please, let me go  and  I  will help you one day.” The lion let her go and said, “You are too small to help me. Go away!”

One day the lion got caught in a hunter's net. He began to cry.

The mouse heard him and came to help. She cut the net with her sharp little teeth. The lion was free and full of  joy. He said, “thank you, my little friend! You saved my life!” The smallest friend can be the strongest help.

                                         The Fox  in the Well

         One  day  a  red  fox  goes  for a walk. He comes to a well. He wants to drink. He doesn't  know  that  there is no water.

The Fox  looks down and falls into the well. He cannot get out of  it and begins to cry. But then he hears that some-body comes to the well. It is a goat.

The Fox is very clever and has a plan how to get out of the well.

The Goat looks down and sees the Fox.

'Hello, Mr.Fox! What are you doing there?' he asks. 'Hello, Mr.Goat.

I am having a good time here,' says the Fox.    'The grass in the well is very good.'   'Do you eat grass?' asks the Goat.  'No, I don't. But you can come down and eat it.  It is very good.'   'Oh, you are so kind. Thank you,' says the Goat. And he jumps down into the well.

Then the Fox  jumps on the Goat's  back, gets out of  the well and runs away.

T. Thank you very much! You are real actors!
