Piece for the Speech Theater: MY FATHER GOES TO COURT BY CARLOS BULOSAN

In the Island of Luzon, there was a Happy family who always enjoying the day every day. The
children were always playing outside with a smile, bathing in a cold river from mountains, full of enjoyment.
Until one day, there was a Sad family who came home in their house. They always locked the windows tightly
that no sunlight enters.

The children were curious on that house because they looked up in the window, pale and thin children
looking to their place. The children were always watching the other children, playing outside with the sun
shines. The rich man always locked the windows and closed all curtains. The rich man’s servants were
cooking special foods that the happy children smelt the aroma. They always stay in the window to smell the
spirit of the food. They sing, play, swim. Sometimes, they laugh out loud then the other neighbor joins them
and laugh at them.

Until the day came that the rich man filed a case to the Father that he always stealing the spirits of his
food and wealth. Though, they end up in the court, with their family. They wait for the jury to judge them. The
father had no attorney but the rich man had. The father always agrees to all question that they always smell the
aroma of their food, but not wealth. Father told the rich man to see his children, and they came, pale and thin.

After that, the father stood up and get some coins to his children and wife and put them in his straw
hat. Then, he walked to the rich man and sounded the coins and then he said to him if he heard the spirit of the
sound, then the rich man agrees and he fell down. The Jury stopped the case and congratulated the father and
he want to hear his children laugh. They laugh out loud but the jury laughed harder.
