Have you thought how life would be without words? Can you imagine that you are not able to express feelings, thoughts or illusions? What words would you choose as present for those people who you love? Last week, students from 4º year of primary school had an opportunity to watch a fantastic tale called The big factory of the words. It is told with sings of deaf people. I would like to share it with you here.
In this story, the author Agnés de Lestrade
shows us a very special and touching country. People do not interact
between them. Communication is not natural. But there is a factory that
makes words and people can buy them. But they are pretty expensive and
nobody is able to buy them. People look for them in the rubbish, where
they only find the ones that others have thrown on it, the worst!!
Diego is the main character of this tale. He is a lovely child. He was
born in a humble family,and, for that reason, the kid has not got too
many words. One day, the boy went out with his butterfly net and he
captured three words that he found in the air: cherry, dust and chai,r
and he kept them as a birthday´s present for a very special person;
Aura. She is the one to whom Diego wants to give his feelings using
those words to declared his love…
This tale teaches us that we have to demostrate our feelings to others.
So, Do you think that it would be a good present to give your beautiful words to your beloved people?
