Group was in the Mate’s living room. Children were in very good mood, Right asked to Mate about a beautiful painting which was placed in the room. He said,
“It is very beautiful painting.” Group was attracted at once. There was a beautiful village girl busy in her work in the mountain covered village atmosphere. Background was very colorful.
Krolin said,” it is beautiful, but see the hand of this girl is slightly thin then another one”. Kate and Graham said;
“No, both hands are same, there is no difference.” But Krolin wanted to prove it so he pointed out the girl’s hand by touching his stick.
Before his next word group was stood in the village of painting. It was amazing; group couldn’t understand where they reached suddenly. Krolin was watching his stick because they reached there with a touch of his stick. Every one was blaming to Krolin and he was afraid to think about the next problem. By chance it was happened. Place and the people were strange for them. Group was looking very different from the villagers. Marry said by ignoring their arguments;
“Don’t quarrel with each other think about the next step, see the dresses of villagers, ours are very different from them. We should be changing our dresses to hide our selves.”
Right said; “But how could be possible…………
Krolin’s stick can solve our problem………….” Kate said.
“You are right,” and Krolin has touched the stick to his dress and his dress was changed into a loose gown like the villagers. Group was walking in the village to change their dresses.”
Suddenly they were attracted to a group of puppets. So many puppets were doing different works like other villagers, but there was no-body to holding their threads. It may be moving with the help of battery. It was strange that no-body was watching the puppets except the group.
As well as they reached near to the puppets, it was another amazing scene in front of them. They were in large number of puppets including animals and were in different dresses, old men, women, young girls and boys were busy in their work.
A village boy was watching the group with curiosity.
Mate asked to the boy, “Who is the owner of these puppets and how they are moving? Is there a battery inside them?”
Boy asked with surprise; “Battery…………..what Battery?
Right said to Mate; “I think they don’t know about electricity and battery in this period.”
Krolin asked at once……………….”.what is the date today?”
Boy answered; “I don’t know.”
Krolin again asked to the boy; “Do you know who the owner of these puppets is.”
Boy said; “Yes. I know; he is the owner of these puppets.” He was pointing out to a man whose name was “Harry.”
Suddenly they saw the lady of the painting was alive and working. Now they understand that they were in the period of time, which was showing in the painting.
Harry was setting outside of his hut and making a table. Group asked in a very familiar way to Harry;
“Can we help you?” He was smiling to see the children, who were offering for his help. Harry said to them; “Why not? We will have some talks during our work.”
Children were helping the Harry by giving the tools and removing the extra things from the working place.
Krolin asked to Harry; “These puppets are yours. Harry answered; ‘you can say……………. these are mine or not. Actually I am not the real master of these puppets. These are my uncle’s property. He was a great maker of puppets; it was his business to make beautiful puppets for different countries. He was a big trader of puppets. You will find here near about every country’s puppets.”
Group was listing the story of live puppets with interest. Their curiosity about the puppets was still same. Krolin asked; “These puppets are looking like live human beings.”
“It is a gift of god to them.”
“What do you mean of God gift?” Children asked together. Harry was also telling the story with taking interest. Group has told about them self that they reached in the village by wondering. As well as they saw the moving puppets without anybody’s help. They came to him to know about them. Harry said by continuing his story;
“It was about 30 years ago, I mean to say near about the years 1530. My uncle Eyan was a big trader of puppets as I said before. His puppets were famous all over the world by the name of “Eyan’s puppets.” People often to say to him; your puppets are as beautiful as seems too alive, only they have no soul inside them. Uncle Eyan was also very fond of his puppets. Some times he had deeply involve in the puppets by thinking if there will be soul came in inside them. It will be a great pleasure to see them by working their activities them selves without taking any body’s help. Uncle Eyan was alone and a very kind hearted man. He had spent a big part of his money for the help of poor. It is saying that God loves who loves poor. This saying is fit for uncle Eyan.................cont.
