Kingdom of Paramithi

The King and Queen join James and Genevieve and present the Medal of Paramithi to young Marcfranco for wearing his glasses every day! After the royal duties are performed they all adjourn to the royal library to find out what today’s story is inside the Paramithi Storybook. It is Cinderella, a tale that is centuries old, and was made popular by Charles Perrault in France. After a fun reading and act of the tale, costumes and props are made and a cast is found to perform in the Paramithi theatre. It’s a dream come true!

The King and Queen of Paramithi present the Medal of Paramithi to Alang for completing her chores each day, and then they are entertained by the Royal Dance Troupe. They perform ballet for the King and Queen. Next, it’s time to find out what today’s story is in the Paramithi Storybook. It is The Three Little Pigs, a story first published in the 18th century. After a fun reading and act of the tale, Genevieve and James set out to produce it as a musical performance for the people of Paramithi. James finds that he is missing someone to play the third pig for the show, but luckily the King decides to step in and help them out. The King steals the show with a porker of a performance!

The King and Queen of Paramithi are so happy that they sing in the Royal Throne Room! After finishing their royal duties they proceed to the royal library to see what story is in the Paramithi Storybook. It is Aladdin and His Magic Lamp; a story first printed in the ancient Arabic book, One Thousand and One Nights. The King suggests that Genevieve and James organise a performance of the tale in the Paramithi theatre with music, dancing and singing. Carlos plays the lead role of Aladdin and Bobby plays the genie of the lamp. The performance is truly magical!

The King and Queen present the Medal of Paramithi to Christobel, as she always washes her hands with soap before she eats and after going to the bathroom. Next the Marching Soldiers give a grand performance before it’s off to the library to find out what tale the Paramithi Storybook holds today. It’s Androcles and the Lion, one of Aesop’s tales from Ancient Greece. After reading the tale, the King thinks it would be better performed in front of an audience, so James and Genevieve set out to produce the show. Androlcles and the Lion is a roaring success!

Every day is a special day in the Kingdom of Paramithi! Christobel is awarded the Medal of Paramithi for sweeping the floors all week. Once the royal duties are complete, the King and Queen go to the library to find what story is inside the Paramithi Storybook today. It’s Beauty and the Beast, a story dating back to France in the 16th century. Genevieve and James organise a performance of the story at the King and Queen’s request. Bobby plays the beast and Sarah plays Beauty. The show is truly ‘beauty-ful’!

Genevieve loves to dance ballet and today she is showing the King and Queen how to do the arabesque. The King attempts the dance move with hilarious results! Then it’s off to the royal library to see which tale is in the Paramithi Storybook. It’s Captain Jeremiah and the Spanish Gold. The Queen reads the story while Genevieve and James act it out, then it’s time to produce the tale as a performance for the people of Paramithi. While Mario makes some beautiful costumes and Johnny finds some props, the General of the Paramithi Marching Band sings a special song. The story of Captain Jeremiah is a-a-a-a-arghfully good!
