Scene 1: The Village Square
(Anna and Misha are playing in the village square. Irina joins them with a worried expression.)
Irina: (frantically) Anna, Misha! Something terrible has happened. Two villagers are arguing about a piece of land. They’re both claiming it as their own!
Anna: (calmly) Oh dear. That sounds very troubling. What do you think we should do?
Irina: (looking at Misha) I think we need to help them. They are both good people, but they’re very upset.
Misha: (enthusiastically) Let’s ask Grandmother! She always knows what to do.
Anna: (nodding) That’s a great idea. Let’s go see her.
(The children run off towards Grandmother’s house.)

아이들의 지혜
레오 톨스토이의 "어린이의 지혜"는 어린이 연극에 대한 훌륭한 영감의 원천입니다. 이 이야기는 도덕적 딜레마를 헤쳐나가는 어린이들의 단순하면서도 심오한 지혜를 중심으로 전개됩니다. 다음은 주요 주제와 상호 작용에 초점을 맞춰 어린이 연극에 맞게 조정된 간단한 대본입니다.
제목: 어린이의 지혜
캐릭터:
안나 - 현명하고 친절한 소녀.
미샤(Misha) – 안나의 호기심 많고 장난기 많은 동생.
이리나 - 그들의 동정심 많은 친구.
할머니 - 마을의 현명한 장로.
주민 1 - 고민하는 사람.
주민 2 - 또 다른 고민가.
설정: 작은 집과 정원이 있는 고풍스러운 마을 광장.
장면 1: 마을 광장
(안나와 미샤가 마을 광장에서 놀고 있다. 이리나도 걱정스러운 표정으로 그들과 합류한다.)
이리나: (미친듯이) 안나, 미샤! 끔찍한 일이 일어났습니다. 두 마을 사람이 땅을 놓고 논쟁을 벌이고 있습니다. 그들은 둘 다 그것을 자신의 것이라고 주장하고 있습니다!
안나: (침착하게) 아 이런. 정말 고민되는 것 같네요. 우리가 무엇을 해야 한다고 생각하세요?
이리나: (미샤를 바라보며) 우리가 그들을 도와야 할 것 같아요. 둘 다 좋은 사람들인데 속상해요.
미샤: (열심히) 할머니께 여쭤보자! 그녀는 항상 무엇을 해야할지 알고 있습니다.
안나: (고개를 끄덕이며) 그거 좋은 생각이에요. 그녀를 만나러 가자.
(아이들은 할머니 댁으로 달려간다.)

Scene 2: Grandmother’s House
(Grandmother is sitting in her cozy home, knitting. The children enter, looking concerned.)
Anna: Grandmother, we need your help. Two villagers are arguing about a piece of land. They both say it belongs to them, and we don’t know how to help them.
Grandmother: (putting down her knitting) Ah, I see. Conflicts can be very difficult. Do you know what the villagers are arguing about?
Misha: They’re both claiming the same land. It’s causing a lot of trouble.
Grandmother: (thoughtfully) Hmm. It’s important to understand both sides of the story. Sometimes, the solution lies in seeing things from another person’s perspective.
Irina: (eagerly) What should we do?
Grandmother: (smiling) Let’s go to the villagers and hear their stories. We need to listen carefully and try to understand their feelings.
Scene 3: The Village Square
(The children approach the two arguing villagers, who are standing apart with angry faces.)
Anna: Excuse me, can we help you with this problem? We want to understand what’s going on.
Villager 1: (angrily) This land is mine! I have been working on it for years.
Villager 2: (also angrily) No, it’s mine! My family has lived here for generations.
Misha: (thoughtfully) That’s a long time. Maybe we need to find out more about why it’s important to each of you.
Irina: (gently) Yes, if we understand why this land means so much to both of you, maybe we can find a way to solve the problem together.
Villager 1: (sighs) I suppose I can tell you. My family used to live here, but we had to move away because of a flood. I’ve been trying to come back.
Villager 2: (softening) And my family settled here after the flood. We built our home and our lives on this land.
Anna: (thoughtfully) It sounds like both of you have very important reasons for wanting this land. Maybe there is a way to share it.
Grandmother: (arriving) That’s a wise idea, Anna. Perhaps you can work together to find a solution that respects both of your needs.
