In this way, that which the cold digital means can reproduce of this magic circle is but a pale shadow. The desire is, however, that these discs may act as a stimulus to revive the art of the narrator, an extra reason to start listening to the infinite varieties of life, to the multiple and unpredictable semblances of reality, to learn to listen to my truth and those of the others. When listening to this CD with the pupils of the elementary school the creation of a suggestive atmosphere is advised, where the voice that tells the story opens and closes the magic circle of the narrator. In this way the capacity to listen will be developed from within the sound patterns of the tale, the rhythm and phono-symbolic effects will be gathered and these factors will contribute in an important way towards the comprehension and pleasure of the listening. No translation will be given beforehand, to the contrary the language will be left provoke a deeper and longer-lasting impression in the child as it is listened to as sound.
Words generate images, sensations, analogies.
It is precisely this incomplete nature of language which allows the child who listens to a story to have an area for his or her own imagination. At this point, even if the story is not understood completely, the children are encouraged to re-tell it, inventing where they have not been able to translate. This approach permits the integration of expressive-creative activity with that which is cognitive, it gives them the opportunity to translate images from a symbolic language and opens the children to the possibility of discovering, understanding and appreciating the role of their own traditional culture. The heritage of the popular tale must be recuperated and re-evaluated in that which is still relevant and valid. The popular tale has been for centuries an initiation into life, regulated to the social and cultural conditions of the society of the farmer and craftsman.
