Blog 16: Story Time Macbeth Style

A long time ago in a land far far away, there lived a noble and rich king named Franco. Franco seemed to be a nice king, but he had an evil side to him. He was mean because he had a secret plot on his hands that he was going to make this man named Benjamin and his son named Taran disappear. The reason Franco wanted them to disappear is because he was really afraid of them and that they might take his place. Franco put his plans in place and sent two fairies to sprinkle Benjamin and Taran with pixie dust when they return from their trip around the land. The two fairies and a third fairy that joins them meet at a small beautiful garden near the royal palace and they sprinkle them. Benjamin gets sprinkled and disappears; but his son Taran flees and escapes. When the news goes back to Franco, a luxurious party is held by Franco. Franco sits at the table with his guests when all of a sudden he sees a floating jack-o-lantern (which is really Benjamin in a new form) at the table. No one else at the table sees this floating jack-o-lantern besides Franco. Suddenly, Franco sees the floating jack-o-lantern a second time. The party ends suddenly and when his guests leave, Franco tells his wife, Tamalia that he needs to find the three fairies. He needs to learn about the threats that are against him. What we find out is that the fairies meet in an open place, and the biggest fairy Heather angrily tells the three fairies how she was not included in their plans for Franco. Heather tells the three fairies to make-up powerful spells to cast on Franco when they meet again with him. This story sums up all of the Acts in Scene III in Macbeth. I'm sure children in elementary school will read this captivating tale and they will truly enjoy this Act in Macbeth.
