Procedure

І. Introduction.

Frecken Bock: Cuckoo, cuckoo! Cuckoo, my little baby! Oh, I see you! (She draws a boot from under the desk) Oh, no! It’s only a shoe. But where is the boy? I’ll find you in no doubt. Cuckoo, cuckoo, my little boy! (Йде задом, зіштовхується з Кузею)

Home Spirit: Oh, what a crazy old lady?!! What are you doing here?

Fr.B.: Who is the old lady?!!! I’m just 18. I’m Frecken Bock, the nurse of the baby and the great friend of Carlson. I bring up the naughty children. Who are you?

H.Sr.: I’m Kuzia, the house spirit. I protect the children from bad marks and angry people like you. I teach the pupils to be kind and friendly.

Fr. B.: A teacher mustn’t be kind. We must be strict and angry and our students will study perfectly well.

H. Sp.: You are mistaken. It doesn’t really help them to be good students. The teachers here are kind and intelligent and our pupils have really good knowledge and marks.

Fr. B.: Kuzia, you are a liar. The students at specialized school 197 can’t be well-

educated because you and the teachers are not angry.

H.Sp.: Let’s test the children and held the tournament “Brighter Grammar”

Fr.B.: I’m not against it. I’m ready to help you.

H.Sp.: Any competition needs a jury. We’ll introduce you the members of our fare jury.

- the teacher of English…

- the head of the department of after class activities…
