"Koti kulta : Kaksinäytöksinen laulanäytelmä lapsille by Lauri Soini" is a two-act musical play for children written in the early 20th century. The play blends lively songs with a homely moral tale, focusing on charity, the temptations of roaming for treats, and the warmth and dignity of one’s own home during the winter and Laskiainen season. The story begins in a poor cottage where Leena’s children, Lassi and Liisu, are enchanted by
a jaunty mendicant boy, Marin Reitu, and beg to try “kerjuu” (begging). Their mother reluctantly lets them visit only the nearby farm, Vanhala. At the farm, amid banter with a jovial shoemaker and the gruff mistress Katri, the children boldly ask for festive food and sing a Laskiainen song; the master, Tahvo, feeds them and offers a little pork and bread. When two shivering vagrant children arrive and are turned away by Katri, Lassi and Liisu give them their own gifts—and Lassi even parts with his mother’s headscarf—prompting the shoemaker to reward Lassi with a coin and promise of apprenticeship. In the final scene, the children return home; Leena worries, then praises their kindness while gently reminding them to give only what is theirs. The play closes with a song exalting the comfort of home, underlining its themes of compassion, modesty, and the true riches of family. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
