The Farting Honey

Aziz Nesin

"Children, you will find the truth to be drawn from the outcome of this play yourselves," Aziz Nesin writes in his heartfelt preface. "Discuss it amongst yourselves, talk with your parents, and discover for yourselves why this fairy-tale play was written, and what truth it wants to convey. This play was written to help you find what is right and true. What is that true reality? That is what you will tell me..."

The Farting Honey (*Pırtlatan Bal*) is an engaging, humorous children's play penned by the master satirist. Rather than simply spoon-feeding a moral lesson, Nesin invites young readers and audiences to actively engage with the story's core themes of kindness, sharing, and societal values. Through his signature wit and deep respect for children's intelligence, Nesin challenges his audience to think critically about right and wrong, concluding his work with a warm wish: that every child lives a long, successful, and happy life, becoming a source of good for their country, their people, and the world.
