The Hoja Fools Them All (1950s)

[Music] the time is newon and the place is a town not far from here some of you may recognize that coffee house at the end of the street where a wise Shake often retells the stories of nasaden hota and some of you may even recognize harid by his red scarf or by his manners [Music] Amed the radical is pasting these all over town what does it say Boran this poster praises the design of our new mosque and urges us to support it a worthy cause but I thought harid comrades did not believe in God and wanted to destroy religion yet they favor this new M so you are wondering why the radical party works for really Superior causes like mosques new schools and labor unions yes affendi I know that many of hamid's comrades are ruthless men who want an all powerful government but when they support good causes like this I cannot decide what whether they are bad for our country or not confusion is an old trick Boran by confusing you the radicals hope you will forget their true and violent aims until they are ready to hit their target their target offendy yes I was remembering how nazarine HOA first used the trick of confusing people to gain his own ends today hamid's radical comrades are using that same in ENT trick to further their own evil plans listen to the story which is called the hocha fools them all in the years when the emperor tamaran came to rule a Royal Proclamation was sent to All corners of the land the emperor offered one year of tax relief to any Village which could produce as good a marksman as his own Royal Archer here was a challenge one year with no taxes to pay but where in a peaceful Village like this could a man be found who was brave enough to meet the challenge yet foolish enough to face the Royal Archer [Music] [Music] oh [Music] the emperor's offer was discussed at a village meeting but in vain the elders pleaded think what a saving this would be is there no man here who is brave enough to step forward and take this bow then when it seemed that the there was no chance at all of finding a volunteer one man among them suddenly came [Music] [Applause] [Music] forward this man was nasar hja [Music] [Music] on the day of the contest the assembled villagers almost gave up hope at the very beginning for the Royal Archer's first Arrow sped straight into the smallest circle of the Target and though the emperor had not yet given the signal for the hota to start shooting they all wondered how could the hoocha match that shot [Music] the hoa's first Arrow was not very accurate but before Taman could declare his Royal Archer the winner Nadine explained that Arrow was to show you how the elders in my Village did [Music] shoot the next era went even Wilder and tamilan was becoming somewhat confused how could he judge nasar adin's aim when the hoer was calling out that was to show you how little boys in my Village shoot the third Arrow almost hit the emperor himself but the hure confidently explained that is how the uh uh the palace cook would shoot and seeing the emperor's puzzled expression the huler decided to keep on shooting and explaining as long as he [Music] could with each new Arrow the hoer wondered how long his trick would [Music] work that s is a perfect example of how the hota shoots [Music] [Applause] [Music] and so nazarine HOA first used the trick of confusing people to achieve his aims but what was an innocent trick of the hotas is now a very dangerous plot to confuse all of us about the true nature of the radical Menace so whenever some truly good or generous action of the radical comrades makes you wonder whether or not they are really dangerous remember this story of the HOA and keep your mind clear for the radicals can succeed only if they can confuse us [Music]
