Mr R. Steiner in a dialogue with his students, explaining the origin of the term humour. He goes the long way and talks about the theory of the four humours and the four temperaments. A fairy tale is supposed to help his students to distinguish between the four of them and the students get the task to analyse and perform one extract:
Student 1: “ Damn, I am the strongest, I am king.”
Student 2: “uff, …tough question. Why don`t we declare the wisest and cleverest person to be king?”
Student 3: “the wisest?”
Student 4: “…pfff.”
Student 5: “That`s me right? I am wise, meditative, and can`t you see my crown?”
Student 3: “… small crown, haha, that`s a headband..”
Student 6: “hmm…,tall, peace-loving, and also diplomatic. That ?s how a king needs to be.”
Student 1: “peaceful? Diplomatic? You are joking. “
Student 6: “Peace-loving,…yes, and also peaceful.”
Student 3: “Stop, stop… we know now. The one who flies highest, runs fastest and and jumps farthest will be king. That`s by far the b e s t i d e a.”
Student 1: “Nooo. S t o p i t!”
Student 2: “Excccccc…. do you still need me? Hmm…if they can go south, I am also able to.”
Student 6: “pssssss, please, don`t,…. Pull the brake. I am sorry. Sit down! Agreed?
Student 3: “juhee, juheeee, ….here! We are already running!”
