Note to the teacher: The KWL Chart starts with learners thinking

guides learners through a three-step process to activate
background knowledge, develop a purpose for learning, and
summarize.

Teacher: Sit up straight and listen attentively as I read to you our

story of the day.

A Story of Two Kings and the Sword of Peace

6
 LESSON SCRIPT IN ENGLISH 4

A long time ago, there was a precious sword that belonged to a great
king. This king would spend all his time enjoying parties and shows in
his grand palace. It was one day that some dispute broke out between
him and the king of one of his neighboring countries. The dispute grew
out of hand, and it came to a point where both kings had to declare
war against each other.

The sword became very excited as this would be the first time it would
be used in a real battle. It would be able to show its extraordinary
talent and bravery to everybody and would also gain renown and fame
throughout the kingdom. On its way to the front line, the sword started
imagining itself as the winner of several battles. But upon their arrival,
the first battle was already over, and the sword glimpsed upon the
results of the war. The picture it saw did not look like anything it had
imagined. There were no elegant knights in shining armors, victorious,
with gleaming weapons out in the Sun. Instead of that, the sword could
see shattered weapons and hordes of men dying out of hunger and
thirst. There was hardly any food remaining for the warriors. Dirt
covered all that could be seen, and men were wrapped in a disgusting
smell. Some of them were half dead, laying on the ground, and bleeding
out from their wounds.

 LESSON SCRIPT IN ENGLISH 4

Battlefield

Upon seeing this, the sword realized that it didn’t like wars or battles
anymore. It decided that it would rather live in peace and, at most,
take part in tournaments and competitions. Thus, the night before the
great battle, the sword came up with an amazing plan to prevent it. The
sword suddenly started vibrating. At first, it was a low buzz that
gradually grew louder. Soon, it became a sharp metallic noise. This
caused confusion among the swords and armors belonging to other
soldiers, who then asked what the matter was. The king’s sword told
them that it did not want a battle to take place the next day and that it
did not like war.

Another sword answered, "No one likes battles, but what can be done?"
"Vibrate yourselves, just like me!", exclaimed the king's sword. "If we
can create enough noise, then nobody shall be able to sleep".

Soon, all the weapons began to vibrate, and this created a deafening
sound. The sound was so loud that it even reached the enemy camp,
where the enemy weapons also joined the protest as they too were
against wars and battles.

It was soon morning, and the soldiers were required to go on battle, but
not a single soldier could get himself to fight. No soldier was able to
sleep the previous night, not even the two kings and their generals.
Hence, they decided to spend the entire day trying to get some sleep. It
was in the evening that they woke up and thought of putting the battle
off until the next day. (Health)

But the weapons were not going to let that happen. Led by the king's
sword, they again spent the whole night singing their song of peace. As
usual, the soldiers couldn’t get any sleep. The battle got postponed
again and again until on the evening of the seventh day, the two kings
decided to meet to discuss the situation. Both were very annoyed and
angry about the dispute that was caused between them, but after
spending some time with each other, they started discussing the nights
without sleep, the confusion, and chaos among their soldiers, finding
no difference between day and night and the astonishing situations
that were created by this song of peace. Soon, both these kings started
laughing and giggling, just as friends do. (Heath, Peace and Values
Education)

 LESSON SCRIPT IN ENGLISH 4

Finally, the two kings let go of their disputes and decided to end the
war, and they returned to their own land. They felt the joy of avoiding a
fight, as well as having regained a lost friend. This time onwards, the
two kings would often meet each other to discuss their experiences
about their kingdoms. It had come to their realization that the things
uniting them were more in number than the things that were setting
them apart. (Peace and Values Education)

Teacher: Thank you, class, for listening well while I read to you the
story. Now, before we answer the motive questions, I will group you
into 3 groups and summarize the story that we have just read and
write your answers on a cartolina paper then choose a presenter
among your group mates.

(A learner representative per group reads aloud the summarized story)

Teacher: Now, let’s see how well you understand the story.

1. How did the kings forget their dispute?

Possible response:
The kings had declared war over some disputes previously. Now that
they were facing trouble together, they found happiness and comfort in
each other's company. They realized that friendship and peace were
way better than the unnecessary clamor of swords (wars and battles).
This made them forget all about the dispute between themselves.

2. Why is peace important? What is the moral of this short story on

peace?

Possible response:
This short story on peace causes us to rethink what is important and
what is not. There may come times when we may believe that war and
conflict are necessary to gain something or resolve a dispute, but we
must remind ourselves that love, peace, and friendship are the things
that are responsible for us humans and animals living happily together
on the earth. War and battles will only cause disruption and chaos in
our lives, no matter how skillful we are in warcraft

 LESSON SCRIPT IN ENGLISH 4

3. Why is getting enough sleep important for human?

Possible response:
Sleep ensures that human’s cognitive abilities, including memory,
attention and processing, are stronger.

4. What is the importance of peace? How does it contribute to a happy

and healthy life?

Possible response:
Peace allows for the fulfillment of basic needs, access to resources, and
opportunities for personal growth and development, which are all
important factors contributing to happiness. Being happy can help our
mind and body healthy.

5. How do you value your friends?

Possible response:
Good friends are good for your health. Friends can help you celebrate
good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent
isolation and loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed
companionship, too.
