WITTY PETER, SERVANT IN A RICH HOUSE

COMPLETE TE SENTENCE Madam makes……… Peter eats….. Peter drinks…. Peter brokes…….

Peter was a servant at a rich house. The rich lady was very stingy.

Once she made pastry with a lot of eggs, butter and cheese. The flavor of just baked pastry spread in the house.

Peter was on his way with a pitcher to bring water.

Yummy!!

Peter, I go out! Don’t eat the pastry! I made a mistake and put poison instead of salt

But he didn’t believe her. He ate half of the pastry and went for fresh water. On his way he dropped the pitcher and broke it. He didn’t know what to do!! Peter looked around, lay down and slept!

Peter!! Why did you eat the pastry? It was poisonous!!

OOOH – Madam, I broke the pitcher and decided to poison myself. I was so scared!

You are such a fool Peter!

PETER AND THE CLEVER BEAUTYOnce upon a time there lived a Beauty who asked questions that no one could answer. One and all folks tried to overmaster her ingenuity, but all for nothing. She urged them to sew sandy clothes or carry out all impossible wishes.

Yes, I can! I will do it in a minute! While I am cutting

out your dress you will twist some thread for me from my sand….And I will

sew a dress for you….

I Can you sew a dress from this?

Can you describe the pictures?

Witty Peter heard about that and decided to visit her. On his way he passed by a river bank covered with sand, took a handful and put it in his pocket.

When he came to Beauty’s house she took out some sand

But the Clever Beauty could not wind out any thread, so Witty Peter got the better of the bet .

WITTY PETER — THE TEACHER

The people from a village wanted Witty Peter to teach them something new, explaining everything they saw. Ten people followed their teacher on his way.They saw a field planted with water melons and asked Witty Peter:-What is this, Witty Peter? -These are the eggs of the camels.-How can we hatch a camel?-Let’s try to sit on one egg.The people started sitting on the egg, one by another. When the turn of Witty Peter came he stood up and kicked the water melon. It rolled down and crashed into a bush. But there was a rabbit hidden under it. The rabbit was frightened and ran to the nearest forest.-OOO-H-How can we catch the rabbit? - asked the people.-We will cut the forest.-was Witty Peter’s advice.They started cutting the forest. A man with a horse passed and greeted them.-Good afternoon, boys!-God bless you! –answered they.-Why are you cutting the forest? - Asked the man.-We hatched out a camel, but it ran into the forest. We’re cutting the forest to catch it.-But your axes are not sharp! Let me put them into my saddlebags. If they cut my saddlebags, you’ll cut all the forest. The man secretly put the axes in a safe way. They didn’t make holes into his bags. Meanwhile, the people wondered what to do without their instruments.-Let’s give him his due! He took our axes!!! Take off your clothes, put them on the back of his horse and it will die of this weight!-advised Witty Peter.The people stayed naked waiting what would be happen. They let the horse but it gave a neigh. The man turned and was surprised of the view.WOW- What foolish men! Not only I took their axes but they sent me their clothes with my horse!

HITAR PETAR

Strolling around townHe jumps up and downwith his donkey, on its backhe is slim and his moustache black.He wears leather shoesHe crosses deserts and seas.All embroidered is his shirtAnd it makes him look smart.Peter, funny and wittyIf you don’t laugh it’s a pity.With his wit and his tongueHe will win all along.A donkey, his trusted friendfollows him to the end.and if the whole world you will see in every country one like him there will be. 

 

Viaggiando per le vie della cittàSi diverte saltando qua e là.Fischiettando, in groppa al suo asinello,lui è esile, baffuto e snello.Peter, spiritoso e divertente,lui fa ridere la gente.Contro tutti vinceràSe la parola userà.Porta scarpe di maiale,con le quali attraversa monti, deserti e valli.La camicia di cotone è il suo marchio di eleganza,e porta una cintura di lana alla panza.L’asino è il suo amico fidatoE quando lui è addormentatoLo sveglia mentre sbadigliaE nel frattempo raglia.Uno come lui ovunque troverai.
