Tales we've been told - David Heathfield - an enjoyable evening event
At historical Paganini room, David once again tells stories he's been told, in a captivating didatic way. He tells his eager audience how Nasreedin outwitted his neighbours and how an apparently harmless Japanese old man played an unforgettable trick on his teenage friends.
At this moment David yielded the floor to Patrice, and EFL teacher based in Japan, who graciously told us a story about a posh mouse who wanted to marry his daughter to the best suitor in town. As it is in stories, the one young mouse who was bold enough to propose was proptly turned down, but eventually was the best inevitable choice.
After Patrice, quite a good number of the participants gathered courage to tell their own story, sing a song or just sing along.
This is it with stories: they take you on a journey and when you come back from the story trip, you bring along mementos which act as precious landmarks of your path - they may be sounds, smells, an image or a facial expression, or even a laugh. Nevertheless, the best one of them all is the magic memories that stick to your mind and urge you to pass the story along.
