Description
A long, long time ago in a kampung, there was a pond with plenty of fish. But the pond begins to dry up, and a watchful and greedy crane has an idea: he will fool the fish into thinking he will bring them to a large, sparkling lake. However, a crab that has been watching the crane has plans of his own…
Illustrated with engaging artwork, the late President S R Nathan’s retelling of this wonderful folktale will form the basis of a 1.5-hour creative writing workshop. Participants will explore different forms of writing, from short poems like haiku to prose monologues.
