Is it right for my child?
What it teaches
The play teaches children:
- to respect nature and its laws;
- to understand the value of goodness and kindness;
- to understand the harm done by greed and selfishness;
- to be patient in hard times;
- to help others and to be grateful;
- to understand that everything has “its own time”.
We cannot change everything to suit our wishes. What cannot be won with wealth, rank or orders can be won through love, patience and kindness.
