Walking through a desolate, industrial landscape a man comes across a red rope dangling from the sky.

He pulls it and there are some amazing consequences.

Lots of discussion to have about this one.  Pulling the rope turns the light off in the sky.  Moving from night to day.  Unfortunately he pulls it once to many times and breaks it. ​

  • What is curiosity?
  • Would you feel compelled to pull the rope?
  • How did the rope get there?
  • What's it connected too?
  • Why does the light go out?
  • What's it connected too?
  • Who put it there?

  • Ask children to discuss whether or not they would pull it. 
  • Is it dangerous turning the 'light' on and off.
  • What advice would they give to someone who is thinking about pulling it? 
  • Would the children pull a cord, knowing that something bad might happen somewhere? 
  • What if the bad thing happened to someone they didn't know or if it happened to someone that was in prison?  Would that matter?
