Stanley Ka Dabba

Hey!

What are you doing here?

Huh?

Come, let's wring our hearts out

Smash that pot of the night

And get lucky...

...with that piggy bank

Heart and spleenin squeezed out times

Life...just a game of conches and coins

Hit the road, partner

Its time bang-bang!

Hey, Mrs. Rosy has come!

Rise and shine my babies...

Good morning teacher!

Good morning my sweeties!

Please sit down

Thank you teacher

So...

Cleanliness is next to...

Godliness

Yes, Godliness

Stanley What happened?

What happened?

You know Miss, my mother

had sent me to the market

I was walking down the street

without bruises

And then I saw a big crowd

And then I saw a big boy

And there was a very small boy

I went more close and he said

''Hey! A kid!''

And then he hit me I got very angry

I held his legs and I threw

him This side and that side

And then I punched him

here And I punched him there

And then I hit him,

kicked him And punched him

And then there was a stone...

and I threw it on him!

So did you kill him?

No

No

Then he dogged the stone

and said, ''Sorry''...

Okay, Stanley... go wash your face.

Yes Miss
