THE PHOTOGRAPH
SUMMARY
It’s a hot summer’s day. Rat suddenly announces that he is going away for the summer.
Hocus and Lotus say they will miss him a lot. Hocus has an idea! He suggests that they take a
photo of all three of them, as a keepsake. But they don’t have a camera. At that moment,
they see a girl sunbathing in the park. She has a camera in her bag. They decide to borrow it
for a minute and Rat ‘steals’ it. The girl wakes up and is very upset to find her camera gone.
The friends feel guilty and give the camera back. When the girl sees the dinocrocs, she thinks
they are monsters. But when they have introduced themselves and explained their problem,
she agrees to take a picture of the threesome. She gives one to Rat and another to Hocus
and Lotus. At last it is me for the friends to say goodbye.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- The children will act out the experience of taking something that is not theirs and then
