GOHA S STORIES - CONNECT PRIMARY 6 Term 2 - سادس ابتدائي

UNIT 9 1 LESSON 1 GOHA'S STORIES Listen and read. Why do the man and his son carry the donkey? Mom: Lama: Mom: Lama: Mom: Lama: Mom: What are you doing, Lama? I'm writing a review of one of Goha's stories. The one about a man who goes to the market with his son and a donkey. The setting is the countryside, many years ago. Two of the characters - the man and his son - take turns riding the donkey because it's a long journey. When the boy rides the donkey, the people they pass say he should let his father ride. When the man rides the donkey, they say that he should let his son have a turn. Then, they say the donkey must be tired. So, in the ending of the story, they both carry the donkey! Haha! His stories are both funny and clever, aren't they? Yes, they are. He's a great narrator, too. I love the details he gives about the characters, the setting, and everything that happens. So do I. In fact, his stories are popular all over the world. But he's known by different names. For example, in Sudan, he's Jawha. In Algeria, he's Jeha, and in Morocco, he's Jha. Are the stories the same in every country? There are some differences, but they all have a moral that Goha wants to teach us. What do you think is the moral of this story? That you can't make everyone happy. 36 Lama: Mom: I think Goha is right about that! Lama: Me, too. I'm happy that I know which story to write about, though!
