He worked hard, but he earned little money and was poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: I have labored my entire life and saved what little I could all these years. Finally, I have enough money to buy a sleeping mattress. No longer will I sleep on the bare floor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrator<\/strong>: The next day, the man set out for the market. He walked down the long, dusty road toward town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (He comes upon a fisherman who has trapped a crane in his fishing net.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fisherman<\/strong>: Ha! Ha! Ha! Look at that gawky crane, struggling to free herself from my sturdy net! She\u2019ll never break loose! Ha! Ha! Ha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: Young man! Let that bird free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fisherman<\/strong>: (laughing<\/em>) It\u2019s just a bird. What do you care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: That bird has done nothing to you. (He reaches into his pocket.) <\/em>Look; here is the money I have saved to buy myself a mattress. I will give you this money in exchange for the crane\u2019s freedom. Take my money and release her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (The fisherman takes the money and sets the crane free. The crane immediately soars to the sky and flies away.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: (to himself as he walks back home) <\/em>All my savings are gone. I have worked hard, and yet I have nothing to show for it. (He smiles.) <\/em>The crane is free, though! What a beautiful, glorious bird!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrator<\/strong>: That night, the man heard a knock at his door. When he opened the door, there stood a stunning young woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: May I help you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Woman<\/strong>: I wish to be your wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: Why would you want to marry me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Woman<\/strong>: I have seen that you are kind and gentle. I know you have worked hard, and it\u2019s time someone cared for you. I want to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: I would be honored to call you my wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrator<\/strong>: For years, the man and his wife lived in happiness together. She became a loving wife and cared for him. He wished only that he had more money so he could buy her beautiful clothes and provide a more comfortable home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: (sitting by the fireplace) <\/em>I wish I had more money to provide for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Woman<\/strong>: Perhaps I can help you, my dear husband. I must go into that little room and close the<\/p>\n\n\n\n door. I will be in there for hours, and you must promise me not to open the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: Whatever you wish, I will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrator<\/strong>: Hours passed, and his wife finally came out of the room. In her arms she carried the finest white fabric ever made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Woman<\/strong>: Take this fine cloth to the Emperor. He will pay you handsomely for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrator<\/strong>: The man met with the Emperor the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emperor<\/strong>: (He admires the cloth.) <\/em>This is the most beautiful cloth I\u2019ve ever seen! Here, take this money in exchange. (He pays the man.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrator<\/strong>: Several years pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: (sitting by the fire again) <\/em>With the money we got for the cloth, we built a fine home, enjoyed plenty of food and bought nice clothes. But now the money has run out, and I have no way to replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Woman<\/strong>: Once again, I will go into that little room and close the door. I will be in there for several hours, but remember . . . you must promise me not to open the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrator<\/strong>: Again, hours passed and the wife came out with fine cloth. Again, the man took it to the Emperor and came home with a sack full of coins. The man and his wife lived on this money for quite some time. Eventually, the money again ran out, and the man felt despair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Woman<\/strong>: If it will please you, I will make some more cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (She goes into the little room and closes the door.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Man<\/strong>: I am curious to know how my wife makes that beautiful cloth. What can she possibly use to spin such exquisite fabric? Surely one little peek will not hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrator<\/strong>: The man cracked open the door, and to his surprise, there stood the beautiful white crane he had saved so long ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Crane<\/strong>: (sadly) <\/em>Yes, it is I, the crane you once saved. I became your wife that night to thank you for saving my life. Now that you have discovered my secret, I can no longer stay here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (She flies out an open window. The man rushes outside, calling after her.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n Passage-based Writing Prompt Student Responses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the drama, the Fisherman and the Emperor are minor characters.Write an essay analyzing how the Fisherman and the Emperor are important to the development of a theme of the drama.
