The little day: A radio play for children & adults
Ever heard of the "little day"? These are wonderful songs and a great story of courage. I keep listening to them. The little day is only one of many, but: "Every day has its secret, darkness, and glitter of light. Whether you are big or small, you never quite solve the puzzle ..."
The musical radio play? The little day? was very popular with children and adults many many years ago. It's funny and educational and totally timeless. A music with many catchy tunes. My favorite worm goes like this: "I'm just today, just see the sun track, and then there's another one coming ..." And it's a story full of secrets and wisdom.
The history:
The little day is a light being in the universe. He is allowed to travel to Earth one single time in his eternal life on a ray of light. He wonders what's coming up. In any case, it will be a special day when a UFO lands in a football stadium and an alien becomes the biggest pop star of all time. Because the competition in the days is great, because he is only on the 23rd April next year's turn. It says wait, wait.
Finally, finally the time has come. The little day flies on a ray of light to the earth and sings a wonderful mumbling song for anxious people, small or adult: "Where does the dark tunnel lead? I hardly want to look inside ... I have to walk my own way, I want to stand on my own legs. Yes, I can! Yes, I want! Yes, I can! ... I am the light! Now I am day! "
But what happens on Earth on this April 23rd is not exciting. A family moves and is chased away by a construction crew from the sidewalk. A loving couple enjoys happy hours. Another family is having a picnic and doing things "just like that." Look at clouds, touch a tree, give Papa a kiss, have a bag burst: "Not because it brings money, not because it's useful ... no, just like that!"
The little day is delighted and can not wait to travel back to its star to tell the other days of its wonderful stay on earth. They laugh at him. That should have been something special? But the little day gets great honor. Because his boring day on earth is becoming famous. There was no conflict and no war for 24 hours - it was the most peaceful day in human history!
Now he is mighty proud and full of self-confidence: "I am me, I will never be another, this is my time, this is my life, what matters to me, I decide alone, because I will not be given an hour." This is a story that teaches children to be courageous, self-confident and happy without hurting others.
