I am a traveler in a goat scene of the Nasaretten folk tale story set in Turkey we did for our 3rd grade play. Nasaretten is the main character. First he helps a grandma carry her vegetables home. Then, he helps a boy find his way home. Then, this is where I come in. It's the goat scene. Nasaretten helps a cook catch a goat that has gone loose. The main part of the story is at the end.
Nasaretten goes to his friend's house for a banquet. His coat is shabby and dirty and smelling of goat. When he comes to his friend's house, his friend opens the door and his friend is shocked. He thinks his other guests will laugh at him for being friends with such a shabby smelly man. They all decide to ignore him and maybe he'll go away. Nasaretten goes home because he was ignored. On his way home, he had an idea.
When he got home, he jumped into a tub of hot water, poured a whole bottle of crystal shampoo on him, and started to scrub himself until he glistened. Then, he put on a magnificent new coat and went back to the banquet. He got food and was not ignored. But, instead of eating the food, he shoved the food into his coat shouting: "Eat coat, eat!"
His friends said "Why are you eating your coat?" It seemed you liked my new, cleaner coat more than me, so I'm feeding my coat. "Many a good man you shall find under a shabby, smelly coat."
The moral of the story is that whoever has kindness in his or her heart is always well-dressed.
The end!
