While it is flying over Denizli, it sees a high white mountain and there are some black points on
it. It gets lower and recgnizes that it is a ski center and the black points are people who are
skiing. It lands on the mountain and sees some students there. The students also come to the
Technobird. The students are from Sait Kalaycıoğlu Secondary School and their teacher is
Saniye Çetintaş. They meet each other and the students love Technobird very much. They tell
about the ski center and Technobird learns that its name is ‘Bozdağ’ and it is the largest ski
center in the Aegean Region. The students and Technobird skies for a while and they get very
hungry.
The students take Technobird to the ‘Bağpazarı’ which is a natural recreation park in the center
of Tavas. They sit at a table and they eat some of the famous dishes of Tavas such as ‘Tavas
pidesi’,
‘Tavas Baklavası’(that is a patented dessert), and ‘Tavas Kebap’. Technobird loves all kind of
food that it tastes in Tavas. While thay are eating, they hear a folk music. Technobird asks what
the music is and the students say that it is the music of Tavas’ folk dance ‘Zeybek’. The
students also say that every year there is a Zeybek Festival and the people from different cities
around the Aegean Region who dance with folk music come to Tavas and the groups performs
their dance shows.
Technobird says that it really likes watching folk dances and wants to watch them. The students
take Technobird to the amphitheater and they watch the shows and ‘Tavas Zeybeği’.
Technobird is fascinated from the performances of the Zeybek and wants to learn how to dance.
The students make a surprise to Technobird and they give a Zeybek costume as a present.
Technobird thanks to the students.
There are a lot of exhibition of handicrafts of Tavas in the festival area. Technobird looks tha
stands and sees the famous handicrafts called ‘Tel Kırma and Gergef’ Works. The students also
show a ‘Terrakota’ to Technobird and tell that it is a famous handmade work of Tavas. It likes
them and wants to buy a Tel Kırma tablecloth for its mother but the students have already
prepared a peresent for Technobird’s family. There is a stand on which Kızılcabölük weaving
clothes are being presented. The students tell that these weaving clothes were used in the movie
‘Troy’ and the starrings of the film Bratt Pitt(Ahhilleus) and Diane Kruger(Helen) wore those
clothes. Tecnnobird is surprised when it hears this information because it watched that film
years ago.
At the end, Technobird says that ‘I must g oto another place and thank you all for your nice
hosting. I had a great time with you and liked Tavas very much as the other places in Denizli. I
will come here again. ‘ Technobird and the students hug each other and the students waves their
hands while Technobird is flying over them.
