It seemed that we had recently celebrated the 'International Literacy Day of 2013' with the playful act of 'Paplu', we got 'Takloo' as the next wonderful character to play for this years literacy day. As they had acted the Paplu for the whole year when they felt bored, when they were in the mood of acting, when someone would ask them to showcase their talent and in various occassions, so this year when I told my grade seven students that I had a new story for them for this year's international literacy day, they were really very excited.
'Takloo, the salt seller' a very enjoyable and easy to understand story which my whole class performed on the literacy day. When I finished reading it loud for them, for some time every students longed to play the character of Takloo and finally they decided that as per the character they want someone who is the smallest in the class. So they chose 'Pawan' who was the smallest among all. And then they selected other characters. They were so excited that they managed different materials all by themselves and within a week, they were ready to perform in front of students of grade eight.
On the performance day, I was really delighted to see all the props ready; a wooden house, small hut of Takloo's family, paper pots and all. They had listened and understood the story so well that they managed every bit so minutely. I felt that this year they have grown more mature and more efficient when they performed the whole act.
