The end of school year …
… is a hectic time, but somehow we are all able to make this last bit of extra effort and have some fun. This year it’s a school show by a bunch of Global Village students and teachers, for themselves, parents and friends. It’s all about summer (a countdown to holiday), water (The Enormous Crocodile, dramatised), and love (Romeo and Juliet, simplified).
They are staging the show at Teatr Szkolny, Akademia Teatralna, Sienkiewicza 14, on Thursday, 14 June, at 5 PM. Anybody can come and see, entrance is free, but arrive early to avoid disappointment, the space is limited.
How about this little gem from Roald Dahl’s story:
A bit further on, The Enormous Crocodile met Muggle-Wump, the Monkey. Muggle-Wump was sitting in a tree, eating nuts.
“Hello, Crocky,” said Muggle-Wump. “What are you up to now?”
“I have secret plans and clever tricks,” said the Crocodile.
“Would you like some nuts?” asked Muggle-Wump.
“I have better things to eat than nuts,” sniffed the Crocodile.
“I didn?t think there was anything better than nuts,” said Muggle-Wump.
“Ah-ha,” said the Enormous Crocodile,
“The sort of things that I’m going to eat have fingers, toe-nails, arms and legs and feet!”
Muggle-Wump went pale and began to shake all over. “You aren’t really going to gobble up a little child, are you?” he said.
“Of course I am,” said the Crocodile. “Clothes and all. They taste better with the clothes on.”
“Oh, you horrid hoggish croc!” cried Muggle-Wump. “You slimy creature! I hope the buttons and buckles all stick in your throat and choke you to death!”
The Crocodile grinned up at Muggle-Wump and said, “I eat monkeys, too.” And quick as a flash, with one bite of his huge jaws, he bit through the tree that Muggle-Wump was sitting in, and down it came. But just in time, Muggle-Wump jumped into the next tree and swung away through the branches.
