On
the grassy pastureland of Faz, there once lived two boys called Toban
and Basoo. Basoo’s
father was a wealthy sheep farmer. He wanted his son to remain at home
and work on the
farm with him. Basoo loved to eat and play all day long.
Toban’s
father was a poor weaver. He wanted a better life for his son and so he
decided to send
him into the town to study.
Toban
was very excited. He ran to tell his friend Basoo the good news,
“My father is
sending me away to study. He wants me to learn how to read, write, play
the flute and
learn the game of chess. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could
come too?”
“What’s
the good of studying?” Basoo asked, “My father
doesn’t know how to do all
these things and see how successful he is. He can do anything and eat
anything he feels
like. One day, I will be wealthy farmer too. I don’t need to
study like you.”
So,
saying goodbye to his father and friends, Toban went into the town
alone. There he learnt
to read, write, play the flute and the game of chess. As he was a
clever and hardworking
boy, it did not take him long to master all three.
…
…
With
that as a background, Toban and Basoo were put to the test when a
disaster struck their
village one day ……
Would
Toban be able to weave his MAGIC and put all his learning to good use
– just as his
father had hoped he would do?
How
would Toban save his friend Basoo and the villages from the
… Crazy
King?
