Meet the Characters

To begin reading the story

The retelling of this Indonesian tale by children in Year Four at Fahan school was the culmination of a terms work in which the students concerned painted images from the original story then added text to accompany the tale. The images and text were then incorporated into a multimedia project on an Acorn computer complete with sound.

The story has also been made into a shadow puppet play which was then performed at a school assembly.

If you would like to coment on the work of the students and let them know how you enjoyed their story please email The students of Year Four. 1995
