Rolf: I want to hear the story of the Pool of Enchantment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpie: Oh, yes, the story from the Ramayana. I’ll act out the part of King Yudhisthira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: The King, or rather the Queen, and her siblings were chasing a deer who had stolen the wood needed to start a Brahmin’s sacred fire. After chasing the deer for a long time, they sat down under a tree, so thirsty they couldn’t go on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpie: If we don’t find water soon, we’ll die. Nakula, climb this tree to look for water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birago: There’s water over there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpie: Go get some water and bring it back to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: Nakula soon found a pool of clear water. A Crane stood at the far edge of the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birago: Water! I’m so thirsty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voice: Do not drink, O Prince, until you answer my questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: Nakula was thirsty, so he ignored the Voice. He drank the cool water, and in a few moments lay dead beside the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpie: Where is Nakula? Sahadeva, you’ll have to go and bring us some water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castor: On my way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castor: Nakula, dead! I’m so thirsty, I’ll drink before I find out what killed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voice: Do not drink, O Prince, until you have answered my questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: But Sahadeva had already drunk from the water, and also lay dead beside the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpie: Arjuna, find our siblings, and bring us water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicky: I’ll take my bow and arrows, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicky: My two siblings, dead! I’ll find who or what killed them. But first, I’m so thirsty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voice: Do not drink, O Prince, until you have answered my questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicky: Who are you? Come out and fight with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voice: Bwa ha ha ha. Do not drink, O Prince.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: Soon Arjuna, too, lay dead beside the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpie: Bhima, go find our siblings, then bring water back to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Nods silently.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: Seeing his siblings, Bhima wondered what evil demon had killed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Looks around in silence.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voice: Do not drink, O Prince, until you have answered my questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: When the Queen realized that her siblings were not going to return, she went to the pool herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpie: This must be the work of some evil spirit. But I am so thirsty, I will drink first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voice: Do not drink, O Queen, until you have answered my questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolf: They shouldn’t have drunk the water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicky: Who’s that strange Voice that speaks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: We’ll have to wait until next week to find out….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
