there was a king who dreamed that he had lost all his teeth. When he woke up he told one of his servants.
KING: Oh, I had a terrible dream!. Well, it was really a nightmare!.
SERVANT: What was it about?.
KING: I dreamed that I lost all my teeth!. I wonder what it means.
SERVANT: Your majesty, if you want to, I can tell the witch from the forest to come and give you an interpretation of your dream.
KING: Go to her house and tell her to come right away. I am really worried.
SERVANT: I will be right back.
NARRATOR: The servant went to the witch`s house and told her about the king`s dream. When she went to the palace she said.
WITCH: Oh, you’re so unfortunate, King!.
KING: Why?.
WITCH: Each fallen tooth represents the death of one of your relatives, your majesty.
KING: Then, I will be left alone.
WITCH: Yes, your majesty. You will be all alone.
KING: What an insult!. How do you dare to tell me such a thing!. Get out of here!.
WITCH: But…
KING: Guard!.
NARRATOR: When the guard entered the room, the king said.
KING: Take this woman to jail, and never let her out!.
GUARD: Yes, your majesty.
NARRATOR: The guard and the witch left the room. Meanwhile the king told his servant.
KING: Who will help me now?. She was my only hope.
SERVANT: No, your majesty, I can still bring the wisest man from the kingdom.
KING: Very well, I hope he can help me.
SERVANT: I will be right back.
NARRATOR: The servant went to the house of the wiseman and told him about the king`s dream.
WISEMAN: Take me to the King. I know exactly what his dream means.
SERVANT: Let`s go.
NARRATOR: When the wiseman was at the palace, he said.
WISEMAN: Oh, happiness is waiting for you, your majesty!. Your dream means that you will live longer than all of your relatives.
KING: Then I will live many, many years?.
WISEMAN: Yes, your majesty, you will even outlive all your relatives. Long Live the King!.
KING: I am really pleased with your interpreatation!. That is really good news. Guard come here!.
NARRATOR: The guard entered the room and he said.
GUARD: Should I take him to jail, your majesty?
KING: On the contrary, give this man a hundred gold coins!.
WISEMAN: Oh, thank you!.
KING: You deserve it!. Now I am completely sure that you are the wisest man in my kingdom. Guard, escort him to the palace gates.
GUARD: Come with me, Sir.
NARRATOR: When the wiseman and the guard left the room the servant was outside listening to whole conversation, then he said.
SERVANT: It`s not possible!. The witch told him the same thing you did. Both of you made the same prediction, but she was sent to jail, and you received a hundred gold coins. I can`t believe it!.
WISEMAN: Remember, my friend, that all depends on the way you say things. There is a great difference in how you delivered the message. One of the great challenges of mankind, is to learn how to communicate.
NARRATOR: And the wiseman left the palace with a hundred gold coins.
The End
