Keloğlan has four friends who are very important to him. Their names are Gülçiçek, Cankız, Kara and Zeytin. They are really good friends. They enjoy very much while they are together. One day, they ride their bikes and goes to the lake. They play games. While they are playing, Black Vizier and the Witch come to near them. Black Vizier and the Witch are bad people. They have some foods with them; but there is something wrong with these people because they are not good enough to give foods to Keloğlan and his friends. When Keloğlan’s friends see the foods, they become very happy because Black Vizier and the witch also bring with them an ice-cream and the cakes. Keloğlan feels something wrong with these foods and says: “we shouldn’t eat them!” however his friends, Cankız, Kara and Zeytin, don’t listen to him and eat. Kara eats the ice-cream while Cankız and Zeytin are eating the cakes. After Kara Vizier and the witch give the foods, they leave there. Keloğlan and his friends go on playing. After a while Zeytin and Cankız scream in pain. They have got stomachache. Furthermore, Kara starts to cough and he has got a sore throat and constant cough.  Keloğlan thinks what they will do, and then an idea comes into his mind.

-What is the matter with you?
