Panchatantra

We had a play called the Panchatantra which consists of 17 folk tales and each have a lesson in them. 3 plays were in Hindi, 2 in Kannada, and the other 11 were in English. Ever since we began school here we have been practicing our play for the last 1hour of the day. Grace and I were in the chorus, so we sang short songs every few minutes. It was very boring but we got to skip a lot of school. We stayed back from school on 1 day and did a tech. rehearsal. We had 3 performances, and each one was over 2 hours long. The play was about three uneducated princes who must take over their father's kingdom. The king gets a man who takes them into the forest for 6 months to learn lessons. At the end they go back to the king and they are much smarter. You can look at the top of the blog and see some of the pictures.
