NARRATOR. IN A KINGDOM CALLED QUIQUIRISQUIAGA, THERE WAS A KING
HE ENJOYED MAKING JOKES ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN HIS TOWN TO
LAUGHING AT THEM.
AT NIGHT HE DRESSED AS A GHOST WITH A WHITE SHEET
THAT COVERED HIM FROM HEAD TO TOES AND MAKING NOISES
STRANGERS SCARED PEOPLE WHO RAN TO HIDE IN THE
DEEPER INTO THEIR HOUSES.
KING! UUUUU! ¡UUUUUUUHHHHH! I AM THE GHOST OF DEL
QUIQUIRISQUIAGA!....¡UUUUUUU!
PEOPLE. THE GHOST!....HELP!. THE GHOST IS EATING US
NARRATOR: AFTER THE GHOST'S APPEARANCE, THE PEOPLE
I was commenting
PEOPLE: WHO COULD THAT GHOST BE THAT IS SO GHOSTLY THAT US
IT HURTS SO MUCH.
NARRATOR: IN THE KINGDOM THERE WAS A BOY WHO HELPED THE
KING TO WASH HIS CLOTHES AND HIS SHEETS WHICH WERE NOT FOR
TENDER YOUR BED NOT TO SCARE PEOPLE!!
CHILD: THIS DOESN'T INTEREST ME, I AM NOT AFRAID
I'M BETTER OFF LEAVING!! TO EAT A!! MAKE SANDWICH!
PEOPLE: HAVE YOU SEEN THAT BOY? HE MUST KNOW SOMETHING; HE IS NOT AFRAID.
(EVERYONE ALLEGES AND GIVES THEIR OPINION AND BLAMES THE CHILD)
NARRATOR. IN THE MORNINGS, TWO OF THE KING'S GUARDS WOULD ARRIVE
EARLY AT THE PALACE TO TELL HIM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND HOW THE
PEOPLE WERE ASKING FOR A SOLUTION. THE KING DIED OF LAUGHTER.
S/he was shouting:
REY.COME FORWARD GUARDS TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN
GUARD 1. YOUR MAJESTY, LAST NIGHT THE GHOST WORE A
TORCH IN HAND AND SPEWING FIRE FROM THE MOUTH.
AND PEOPLE SUSPECT A CHILD WHO IS ALWAYS SEEN WITH
WHITE SHEETS
REY. Do you really not exaggerate?
GUARD 2.NO. TRULY I WAS ABOUT TO GRAB IT. I HAD IT
I have grabbed it, but then I take out his magic wand and from it
A huge toad and a big snake came out.
KING. What are frogs and snakes? (in a low voice and addressing the...
WOW, IT HADN'T OCCURRED TO ME BUT IT'S A GREAT
IDEA HEY, YOU'RE NOT MAKING IT UP, RIGHT?
GUARD 1. NOOOO. I HAD A FIRE SWORD AND I USED THE
MERLIN'S MAGIC.
GUARD 2. I WAS VERY AND I CHASED HIM BUT SUDDENLY HE ESCAPED
FLYING THROUGH THE CHIMNEY OF A HOUSE AND....
KING. ENOUGH!, GET OUT OF HERE!. YOU ARE A LITTLE COWARDLY!. IF YOU ARE
I WILL PUSH YOU COWARDS OUT. GET OUT!.. ME
I WILL WATCH OVER THE STREETS. LET THAT GHOST COME AND FIGHT
WITH ME. I WILL TELL HIM WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE SO HE CAN GET IN
UNDER THEIR BEDS AND WHEN THEY ARE ASLEEP, SCARE THEM.
BUT WITH ME WITH A KING AS BRAVE AS I AM, I DON'T KNOW
Dare to get in.
TRADE ME QUICKLY MY NOBLE STEED (THE HORSE WILL ARRIVE SOON)
GUARD 1. PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY. DO NOT TELL THE GHOST WHERE
I LIVE. IF YOU COME TO MY HOUSE AT NIGHT AND WAKE ME UP, I
I'M SO SCARED.
REY.GOOD IROS THAT I HAVE THINGS TO DO.
NARRATOR. THE KING, VERY HAPPY, WENT OUT INTO THE STREET TO SEE HOW
PEOPLE DID NOT DARE TO WALK ON THE STREET. THEN HE/SHE SAW
AN OLD MAN WHO SAT IN HIS WAY.
OLD KING, LEAVE ME THE CLEAR PATH. I DON'T KNOW YOU, WHO?
ARE YOU?
OLD MAN. IT IS NOT ADVISABLE FOR YOU TO KNOW IT FOR NOW. BUT I
I have known you since you were little.
REY DID I USED TO BE SMALL? WELL, I DON'T REMEMBER. WELL, SO WHAT?
ARE YOU HERE?
OLD MAN. I HAVE COME IN SEARCH OF A GHOST THAT IS IN THE
CITY. DON'T YOU KNOW HIM?
WELL, NO BUT WHY DO YOU WANT TO SEE HIM?
ELDER. WELL, YOU WILL SEE I APPLY MY MAGIC. WHEN I SEE HIM, I ...
CONVERT INTO A FROG OR A SNAKE. I WILL GO AT NIGHT TO
I will roll up the blanket on his bed, load it with him, and throw it.
FOR A MOUNTAIN BUT DO YOU KNOW WHERE IT LIVES?
REY. (SHIVERING) EH NO. I HAVE NO IDEA...
OLD MAN. WHAT A SHAME IT SEEMS YOU HAVE THE SAME STATURE...
No, it's much smaller than an inch.
OLD MAN. AND I BELIEVE HE HAS A VOICE SIMILAR TO YOURS.
NO WAY AT ALL. I HAVE A HOARSE VOICE AND HE HAS A HIGH PITCH ONE.
AGUDAA.
OLD MAN. YES. WELL IF YOU SEE HIM, TELL HIM I CAME FOR HIM.
AND HE/SHE WILL NOT BE FREE FROM ME. TONIGHT I WILL GO LOOKING FOR HIM/HER.
REALLY GOOD I HAVE FORGOTTEN SOMETHING IN THE PALACE AND I MUST LEAVE
RUNNING.
NARRATOR. DEAD WITH FEAR, THE KING WENT INTO THE PALACE AND CALLED
TO THE GUARDS SO THAT THEY GATHERED THE PEOPLE AND WHEN IT WAS ALREADY
He told them all:
REY.YA YOU CAN SLEEP PEACEFULLY, MY FRIENDS. THIS NIGHT
I LEFT, YOU ALL SAW ME LEAVE, WELL, I WAS GOING TO TALK TO HIM
GHOST AND WE HAVE MADE A DEAL. IN EXCHANGE FOR NEVER RETURNING AGAIN
I HAVE GIVEN HIM A BAG FULL OF CANDIES AND SWEETS AND
DISAPPEARED! IT WAS LIKE BY MAGIC. NEVER AGAIN
IT WILL RETURN, I PROMISE YOU!
NARRATOR: THAT SAME NIGHT THE GHOST APPEARED AGAIN
SINCE THE KING CONTINUED WITH HIS JOKES AND THIS TIME THE BOY
WAS PRESENT AND EVERYONE DISMISSED IT IMMEDIATELY AND THIS
See if it scares the child.
PEOPLE: OHHH THE GHOST HAS RETURNED IT WAS A LIE WHAT
THE KING SAID
NARRATOR: THE OLD MAN REALIZED AND TOLD THE KING THAT HE
SHE WOULD DELAY WITH HER PEOPLE IF SHE SCARED THE PEOPLE AGAIN
OLD MAN: I will accuse him to the people and they will rebel.
AGAINST YOU IF YOU DON'T STOP SCARING THEM
REY: OK, I will do it
NARRATOR: A FEW DAYS LATER, THE KING HEADED TO HIS PEOPLE
And he told them.
I HAVE DEFEATED THE GHOST, IT WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO SCARE
NARRATOR. THE WHOLE PEOPLE CELEBRATED THE VALOR OF THEIR KING AND
NEVER AGAIN DID THEY FEEL FEAR AND THE ELDER WHO WAS
WISDOM AND KNEW THE KING'S JOKES ALSO DISAPPEARED
FOREVER. AND SO ENDS THE STORY OF THE GHOST
OLD MAN. HA,HA,...I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE LEARNED THE
LESSON... IF YOU LAUGH AT OTHERS, A GOOD SCARE CAN HAPPEN TO YOU
DAR!. AH... AND IF YOU ENCOUNTER THE GHOST GOODNESS DON'T...
BE AFRAID AND PULL THE SHEET...
