Ponari the Little Shaman

Have you heard about Ponari? Hmmm, I think everybody knows about him. All Medias tell about him this time. He is called as the little shaman. He has a magical power to heal people from their sore, pain, diseases or illness. He only cures his patients by making them miraculous water which is containing with magic formula in it. It is very fantastic because it works and his patients prove it. As the result, lots of people visit his house to have his help curing their diseases.

It, of course, gives advantages for Ponari’s family. The reason is that everyone who needs his help pays some money. Just imagine in one day his patients amounted to hundreds even thousands of people. Unbelievable and amazing!  It is more than the number of patients visit hospital in a day. In addition, the people who live around his house get advantages, too. They can open small business like small shop or parking lot. “Honestly we are very grateful because we get flash fortune that we never imagine before”, said one of citizens in Ponari’s village.

But it probably won’t be enjoyed for further because some protests go to this practice, for instance from the head of offspring protection committee, Ka’ Seto. He said that this practice is just the same to involve children to earn the life of his family. It is of course breaking the law about the right of children. This is the responsibility of the parents (father) as the bread winner in his family. And there are some other reasons why this practice must be banned. 

Point to discuss:

1.      What do you think of Ponari the little shaman?

2.      What would you do if you are Ponari’s father?

3.      Do you think banning Ponari to heal people is a good solution?
