圖書名稱:Voiceworks Upper Primary Traditional: Misery's Tree and the Roly Rice Balls (書+C
Go on home and let her be. Stay away from Misery! But the neighbourhood children won't leave Misery, the old woman, alone. They continue to steal the delicious fruit from her apple tree. Then Death's Messenger visits Misery and everyone learns a valuable lesson in this readers theatre adaptation of a traditional Portuguese folktale. KORO!KORO!KORO! When a kind, old man chases his lunch of rolling rice balls down a mouse hole, he is rewarded with good fortune. But, when his neighbour, a greedy, old man does the same thing, will he receive the same reward? Kindness is applauded and greediness is not, in this delightful retelling of a traditional Japanese folktale.
