They call her crazy. She's not crazy.

She always gives us candy,

dried fruit and berries.

Would you like me to tell you all a

tale? Would you like that?

- Why? What for?

- Because I don't have any candy.

...or dried fruit and so you will

feel better, what do you say?

- What kind of tale is it?

- Sit down and listen, then you will see.

And all of you... Go

gather your friends.

Mary caused quite a

scene again this morning.

What is this? It is a

storyteller? Saffet!

David's Beginning.

This is such a tale, that it requires

the storyteller as well as...

...the listener to do a lot of work. The

listener will tire as much as the teller.

Do you know why?

Because, you have to imagine the faces of

all the people in this tale in your minds.

How are we going to do that?

For example, if I say there

is an old lady in this tale...

imagine her face in your mind. Have

all those characters act...

...and move about in your imagination.

Like shadow puppets.

These can be faces of people you

know, it is not possible for them...

...to be the characters,

but let us pretend.

Place a person from this village in

the role of each character...

...make sure you have picked someone.

For the good characters, pick good people.

But, forget about the bad man,

let his be a dark, blank face.

There is a character. The Messenger

Abraham in this tale.

Leave his face to me; I am the

only one that will see his face.

That is the puzzle of

this tale. Agreed?

As with all great tales, we start this

one with the name of the Creator as well.

Once upon a time, I will say a

hundred years ago, you can say today.

There was a Messenger Abraham.

No, David, what did we say? Keep the

Messenger's face blank in your mind.

You are going to put faces on

all the other characters.

Do you know what a Messenger is? He

is a man who delivers one's news...

...one's message or one's wish

to another on horseback.

Well, it was a day...

Just like today.

It was a chestnut horse, it could

carry the whole world on its back...

all day and all night, never tiring. The

road was long, the road never ended...

but Abraham's water ran out.

He found a well near

the side of the road.

And whatever happened, happened

just at that very moment.

When Abraham

drank the water...

He cried and fell on

the floor.

All of a sudden a vision appeared

before his very eyes. An old woman.

My God... What happened

to that poor man?

mm, Yunus hurry on over.

There is someone out here.

- What is happening?

- Yunus, who is it?

- Run, hurry.

- What happened to the poor thing?

- Turn him over.

- What happened Grandmother? Who is it?

Whatever happened to
