Telling a Story in a Story

Angelo Igiraneza Ganza

Once upon a time, there was a storyteller that told men, women and kids stories. People called him Lake Bluefox. Lake was good for stories. He first wrote the stories, then he told them to the crowds. Let me tell you one of his stories.

One nice guy, named Peter, was going to a new school for the new year in September. The last day of summer, he was thinking that the new school would be nice. On the first day of school, Peter was nice, but other guys would push him away. They bullied him, beat him up and threw some stones at him. When Peter thought the torture was over, the guys did their worst. They pulled him around in the playground and jumped over him again and again. Before they went back to class, they put him in a well in a forest by their school. Peter spent four days there under rain and sometimes snow.

Fortunately, a passenger passed by saved Peter and took him to the hospital. During the fifth week, after Peter felt well, he moved to a different school where he had many friends.
