Ek het vir 21 dae ‘n heerlike kursus gedoen om ‘n kinderstorie te skryf. Dit was ‘n nuwe ondervinding vir my. Ek het baie geleer.
Dis vir kleintjies 3-5 jaar wat nog nie baie lank kan luister of aandag gee nie. Die illustrasies gaan natuurlik ook ‘n groot rol speel.
Die storie is in Engels. So, verskoon maar my Afrikaanse vrinne.
- Ek vra vir voorstelle vir n naam asb.
2. Ook as daar iets is wat ek kan byvoeg omdit lewendiger te laat vertoon sal ook waardeer word.
3. En dan laaste: hoe lees die storietjie?
The spider and the wasp.
Mummy Spider sits watching.
Babies play.
Jamy wails: “I’m hungry!”
“I love wasp wings,” Sue dances.
“I want the eyes, eyes Mummy,” sings Sam.
A shadow zips past.
“What was that?”
“Glasses, children! Where are my glasses!”
“Found them.”
“Quiet, stay together.”
The web shivers and shakes.
Whir, zoom, buzz.
Mummy bolts outside.
Waspy Wasp
on a thread!
Mummy spins-
Hind legs pulling, front legs feeding the thread;
On and on,
Round, and round
Waspy swings,
round and round. The thread tightens.
“I need to get nearer, nearer…”
Mummy stretches: “Keep still…”
……….
“I won’t!”
Waspy puffs cheeks point sting.
Wings like helicopter rotor blades.
Spin and spin.
Waspy spirals faster, faster.
Stops, exhausted.
Mummy reaches out.
Waspy, sting ready.
One mighty swing
Mummy’s glasses fly off
the thread snaps.
Whoosh, gone.
“Sorry kids, no breakfast today.”
What is your favourite breakfast?
Wasp eyes, wings, legs or the body?
Kreukels en plooie
