     Once upon a time, there is an unhappy and very naughty class in a little town. It is a single class in that town. Since the town is very little, there are very few students in the classroom.

     Nasreddin Hodja is the most brainy person ot the town and he  is the teacher of the class. Unfortunately, all students in the classroom are very naughty and they never listen to the courses.

     Keloğlan  is the most talkative of the class and he always sings songs and plays the wattle on a corner of the classroom.

     Rapunzel has a very very long hair and she always combs her hair and she thinks  her love. And also she disturbs her friends.

     Little Red Riding Hood is a very lost girl and she always thinks her grandmother who is very ill in the forest.

     Snow White is  such a beatiful girl that while she is sleeping in the classroom, the seven dwarfs always watch her during the lessons.

     Shortly, everybody in the classroom is very unhappy and disinterested in the lessons. Therefore, Nasreddin Hodja is very sad for them.

     On that day, Nasreddin Hodja thinks, thinks and thinks. He thinks to make the students to listen the lessons constantly.

     Suddenly, four rules come to his mind ‘four golden classroom rules’. These rules are;

•       Listen to each other and the teacher

•       Raise your hand before speaking

•       Be respectful to everybody

•       Don’t sleep in the classroom

     Nasreddin Hodja is very happy since he finds the four classroom rules and he goes to his home. After then, he puts four pieces of gold in his purse.

The next day, Nasreddin Hodja goes to the classroom and shows the purse to the unhappy and naughty students. The students look the golds again and again. Actually they don’t understand why the golds are in here.

Everybody chooses a piece of gold from the purse and Nasreddin Hodja asks that:

-- Look at the back of these golds!

When the students look at the back of them, they see four rules. 

Nasreddin Hodja says again:

-- Take the golds. And goes on speaking: Until that day, you never listen the lessons or me so you feel unhappy and can not learn anything.

as long as you can obey the four classroom rules, you will feel happy and learn a lot of things.

     The students feel very embarrassed and they give a promise to listen the lessons

They obey the rules and they never speak without raising their hands and are respectful to each other. They also study their lessons very much.

     After that day, all of them live in happiness thanks to the classroom rules.
