Thank God!: the Chapter Story
A short read for Class 3 before you play. These notes are written for this page and are not copied from the textbook.
🌾 A farmer who loved fruits
Once there lived a farmer who liked fruits. He worked hard and took good care of his land, and soon he had many kinds of fruit trees. In a small corner he also grew grapes and watermelons.
🎁 A gift for the King
When the fruits were ripe, the farmer decided to take the best fruit as a gift for the King. His wife told him that the grapes and watermelons were the best this year. Because the palace was far away and watermelons were heavy, he chose the grapes.
🏰 At the palace
The farmer reached the palace and told the guard about his gift. The guard led him to the royal garden, where the King was playing with the princess. The farmer quietly placed the basket in front of him.
🍇 The playful King
When the King rested, the guard showed him the basket. In a playful mood, the King ate a grape and then threw one at the farmer. When it hit his forehead, the farmer said Thank God. The King threw another, and the farmer said it again.
💡 The wise answer
The surprised King asked why he was thankful. The wise farmer smiled and explained that if he had brought watermelons, the throw would have hurt much more. The story ends with a note that it is a Jataka tale.
