Denias:
Hey, it’s not going to be interesting if you know the story!
Virga:
Ow, come on Denias. How can I persuade you to tell me a bit about the story?
Denias:
Trust me! It’s not going to be surprising if I let you know the story!
Virga:
But, in fact, you knew the story before. I think it would be a pity if we didn’t know the story first.
Denias:
Virga, I just happened to know the story, and I think you’ll enjoy watching the play without knowing the story more.
Virga:
All right, may be you’re right.
Task 8 Two years ago, I was living with my husband and 3 children in the Middle East. My family was not religious and my own Spiritual belief had only been ignited a few weeks earlier and I had not yet got comfortable enough with the thoughts and words to share it with my family. My two boys were out playing with two friends within our walled housing compound, when one of their friends was run over and killed by a reversing truck. The horror and pain of this event was and is indescribable. That night, I lay down with each of my boys and stroked them and talked to them while they cried and fell asleep. The smaller of the two, who was aged 7 at the time, turned to me when his sobs had subsided a little and he said, Mom, what are shoulder fairies? I looked at him, surprised and eventually, I asked him if he had seen shoulder fairies (we had never spoken about angels). He told me that he had seen two shoulder fairies on his friends’ shoulders, and watched them float upwards. He still remembers them today.

Task 10 Virga:
We had a good time, didn’t we? It was a great play!
Denias:
You’re right! Anyway, which part of the play did you like most?
Virga:
In the part when Lucy finally regretted for not making the cake for the fairies. What do you think the best part of the play was?
Denias:
Ehm, I think the best part was when Lucy tried to prevent the fairies fromturning her into a tree.
Virga:
Ow, yeah. She did anything to prevent the spell from happening.
Denias:
Well, every part of the play was so amusing!
Virga:
You can say that again!
