The Fire on the Mountain (based on an Ethiopian folktale)

Characters

Arha   A servant of Haptom

Haptom   A wealthy merchant who is often bored because there is nothing

new for him to do

Abdu  Arha's friend from another tribe who used to work for Hailu

Hailu   A wise good man who tries to help others in need

Servant

Guest 1, 2, 3, 4

Scene I

One cold night, at Haptom's house in the city of Addis Ababa.

Haptom  It sure is a cold night, Arha. Hmm, I wonder if anyone could spend an               entire night on the highest peak of Mount Sululta without clothing or fire.

Arha  Mount Sululta? That's crazy. In winter, people don't even go there in the              daytime because it's so cold.

Q------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What is this story based on?

2. What does Haptom wonder?

Page 132

Haptom  My thoughts exactly. It's probably impossible, right?

Arha  I don't know, but it would be very foolish to try such a thing.

Haptom  Perhaps. I'm sure that no man can live to tell the tale.

Arha  I'm sure a courageous man could stand naked on Mount Sululta throughout an        entire night and not die.

Haptom  Well, I'll tell you what. If you can survive an entire night among the rocks              on Mount Sululta without food, water, clothing, blankets, or fire, I'll give you            ten acres of farmland with a house and cattle.

Arha  (In disbelief) Do you really mean this?

Haptom  I'm a man of my word.

Arha  Then tomorrow night I'll do it!

Page 133

Arha goes to Abdu for advice because he is very worried.

Abdu  Tomorrow night, I will build a fire across from Mount Sululta. Whenever you           are cold, look at my fire in the distance and think about its warmth and think         of me, your friend. If you do this you will survive, no matter how bitter the            night wind might be.

Arha  Thanks for your advice. I'll do what you say.

Q------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What will Haptom give Arha if he survives?

2. Who does Arha go to for advice?

3. What will Abdu do for Arha tomorrow night?

Q

Page 134

Scene II

The next day, Arha goes to the top of Mount Sululta with Haptom's servant at night.

When he gets there, he takes off his clothes and stands in the damp, cold wind.

Arha  It's getting colder and colder. The rocks that I stand on feel like ice. Oh, I see        Abdu's fire several kilometers away. (After awhile) I can't feel my hands and          feet. The wind pierces my skin like ice needles. (After a while) I feel ill. I think        I'll never be warm again. But I will keep my eyes upon the light across the            valley. My old friend is tending a fire for me there. (Arha sneezes, coughs, and        shivers.)

Page 135

Scene III

At dawn, Arha puts his clothes on and goes down the mountain back to Haptom's house.

Haptom  (To the servant, very surprised to see Arha) Did he stay there all night

without blankets or clothing?

Servant  Yes. He did as you said.

Haptom  Well, you are a strong fellow. How did you manage to do it?

Arha  I simply looked at a fire on a hill far away.

Haptom  What! You watched a fire? Then you cheated. I cannot give you any land.

Arha  But this fire was not close enough to warm me!

Haptom  I won't give you the land. You didn't keep your end of the bargain.

Q------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Who does Arha go to the top of Mount Sululta with?

2. What does Arha do when he gets to the top of Mount Sululta?

3. Why does Haptom say that Arha cheated?

Q

Page 136

Very sad, Arha goes back to Abdu.

Arha  I risked my life to get the land. Yet, I have nothing to show for it.

Abdu  Don't give up hope. Let's go to Hailu and ask him if something could be             done.

Arha and Abdu go to Hailu.

Hailu  Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it for you.

Q------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Why did Arha risk his life?

2. Why do Arha and Abdu go to Hailu?

Q

Page 137

Scene IV

Many people including Haptom in the city are invited to a feast at Hailu's house. On the day of the feast, the hungry guests have been waiting for the food for a long time.

Guest 1  (Whispering)Wonderful smell of food is coming from the kitchen.

Guest 2  (Whispering) My mouth is watering already.

Guest 3  (Whispering) It's getting late. The food should have been served already.

Guest 4  (Whispering) I wonder why Hailu hasn't brought the food out.

Haptom  (Speaking out) Hailu, why do you do this to us? Why do you invite us to a            feast and then serve us nothing?

Hailu  (Surprised)Why, can't you smell the food?

Haptom  Of course I can. But smelling the food is not the same as eating it.

Hailu  Then, is looking at a fire the same thing as feeling its warmth? If Arha was           warmed by the fire in the distance, then you have been fed by the smell              coming from my kitchen.

Haptom  Ah, now I understand. You have opened my eyes, Hailu. (To Arha) I now              declare you the owner of the land, house, and cattle.

Hailu  (Smiling) Bring the food in.

The feast begins.

Q------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Who does Hailu invite to come to a feast?

2. What does Haptom declare?

In the old days in the city of Addis Ababa there was a young man named Arha. He had come as a boy from the country of Gurage, and in the city he became the              of a rich merchant, Haptom Hasei.

Haptom Hasei was so              that he owned everything that money could buy, and often he was very               because he was tired of everything, and there was nothing               for him to do.

One cold night, when the damp wind was blowing, Haptom called to Arha to bring wood for the fire. When Arha was finished, Haptom began to talk.

"How much cold can a man               ?” he said, speaking at first to himself. "I              if it would be possible for a man to stand on the highest peak of Mount Sululta, where the coldest winds blow, for an entire night without blankets or clothing and yet not               ?"

Judge  Now, everyone! I am ready to hear Manuel Gonzales, the baker, against

Pablo Perez, the neighbor. I will hear the baker first. Manuel, tell your

story.

Manuel  (Rising) This man, Pablo Perez, comes and stands outside my bakery

every day.

Judge  Does he keep other people from going into your bakery?

Manuel  No, sir, but....

Judge  Then what does he do?

Manuel  Every night I slave over a hot oven while Pablo sleeps. Then he gets up

in the morning and smells the fine sweet pastry I've baked. He should

pay for it!

Judge  Now, Pablo Perez, it is your turn. (Pablo stands.) Is it true that you smell

his cakes and pies?

Pablo  I can't help smelling them, your honor. Their fragrance fills the air.

Judge  Did you ever pay the baker for smelling his cakes and pies?

Pablo  Well, no, sir. It never occurred to me that I had to pay him.

Judge  Pablo Perez, you will now put ten gold pieces on this table─for Manuel                Gonzales.

Villagers gasp. Manuel looks surprised and delighted.

Pablo  (Stunned) Ten gold pieces! For smelling the air near my own house?

Judge  Pablo! Bring the gold pieces here.

□ Please put the gold pieces back in the purse and return it to Pablo.

□ Pablo has smelled your pastry and you have touched his gold.

I hereby declare that the case is now settled.

□ Manuel! Empty that purse on the table and count the gold pieces.
