 PLOT:
Beginning
Once there was a man name Nai
Ha Tong whose dream is to turn
copper into gold. He believes in
magic while his wife, does not.
He experimented with a lot of
materials, but to no avail.
Despite his failures, he did not
give up on his dream and
continued to experiment.

Do you think it was wise

of Nang Song Sai to ask

about their problem as
husband and wife?
 Resolution:
Nang Song Sai turned to her father for help
about their problem as husband and wife.

Her father advised her to keep their meeting a

secret. He planned to share a meal with him
before intervening Nai Ha Tong.
Why do you
think a meal is
important before
heading into a
serious
conversation?
Nang Song Sai’s father claimed that knows how
to turn copper into Gold…

What was the instruction

of the old man to Nai Ha
Tong?
 PLOT:
Middle
Over a meal, the old man instructed his son-in-law
on how to collect 2 kilos of banana fuzz. These will
be used as an ingredient for their gold turning
experiment.
Nai Ha Tong worked day and
night to take care of the
banana trees until they stood
tall and strong. While his wife,
took the bananas every
morning to the market to be
sold.

His father-in-law tricked him yet he was
able to turn copper into gold but in a
different way. His wife had been selling
the harvested bananas for them to make
money/ticals.
 PLOT:
Last
Nai Ha Tong collected the 2 kilos of banana fuzz.
He also realized his foolishness hence, he built a
statue in honour of his father-in-law’s wisdom and
his own foolishness.
 THEME:

•Do not give up on your dream or goal

•Keep moving forward

•Be industrious and hard working in

order to achieve your dreams and
desires in life
The gold harvest was made by Thailand. The moral of the story was “If
a person wants his or her dreams to come true, he must work hard on
it and move, because if you are lazy enough you can’t reach your
dream” because you never achieve anything just by standing. In order
for one individual to achieve things you must move like me, whenever I
don't have an idea for my project or activity, I look around my school
campus and get ideas just by looking.
Sometimes believing in a person can be hard, but it’s never hard to
believe to a particular person especially your parents. They always teach
you the right things in life and they want you to make your life more
successful.
Hard work. It is something we do if we place all our efforts to
obtain or create one thing.

Hard work will always earn you success, because for how
many years, Nai Hah Tong still didn't give up on reaching his
dreams and at the end he got rich. I also conclude that in the
story his father-in-law lied in other for him to move more and for
me "Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right
path, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their
hands". Instead of finding a way to make another thing to gold
do something productive.
