"The Peasant Goes to Egypt"
A Play by Ms. Rose's Class, based on an Egyptian Folktale
This play was written by a Third-Grade class, and the stage directions converted into narration as described in "Group Playwriting Project." A special feature of this play is the long speeches attributed to "Voice of Sekhti." Since Sekhti has such long speeches, the students decided that the actor would "lip sync" his speeches, while the words were spoken by several other students in rotation--a sentence or so at a time. This play was performed at an all-school assembly and was very successful. By the way--despite appearances to the contrary, none of the phrasing of the dialogue here comes from the source material--Third-Graders really came up with the language from scratch!

"The Salt Trader's Justice" - Ancient Egypt, retold and illustrated by Timothy Bush.
Story:
People in power...nothing but trouble! Give a man an office or title and watch him make a misery of people's lives! That's the way it's always been, ever since the sun first rose! But sometimes that misery comes home to roost, even if it takes a while. Listen to the story of the humble sekhti, a peasant who lived by trading salt. He didn't go out looking for trouble, but just like the rest of us, he found it anyway. The sekhti was a kind, good-natured man who worked as hard as anyone ever did. He lived in a country where salt was found, and every morning he would load up his donkey with baskets of salt on either side. He would drive the donkey over many roads to a place where the salt could be traded. The trading wasn't rich, but by working long, hard day, the sekhti was able to provide for his family. His daily route brought him along a narrow path, which ran between a canal and wheatfield at the edge of a great estate. The estate was run for its owner by a servant named Tehuti-nekht. Although he was only the overseer of the land, Tehuti-nekht puffed himself up, and had such a self-important attitude that anyone who didn't know any better would have thought him the master of the whole Nile valley. He saw the sekhti driving his donkey, and greedy Tehuti-nekht said to himself: "Every day he comes along here, and I haven't gotten a thing from him yet!" Even though the sekhti had almost nothing in the world,Tehuti-nekht decided to take what he could get. He threw his cloak down completely across the path: one end lay in the water of the canal, the other end lay in the wheatfield.Along came the sekhti, and what could he do? He started to drive his donkey over the cloak. "Just hold on, there!" cried Tehuti-nekht. "You're not going to walk that beast over my cloak, are you?" The sekhti could see that the man was someone of importance, so he answered, "I'll try to go around." But as he turned the donkey toward the field, Tehuti-nekht cried again:
"What, you'll trample the wheat instead?"... (The rest of the story is at the above link.)
