The Smurfs

Do you remember a cartoon program when you were young called “The Smurfs”. It was a cartoon about very little blue people who lived somewhere in the woods. The storylines were very simple stories about adventures. The characters all looked mostly the same, small, blue and male. There were two characters who were different, Smurfet and Gargamel. Do you know where the smurfs came from?

The smurfs came from France, each smurf is said to be kind and caring. They all also have a special skill this way they are always useful in their society. Many people thought these ideas made the smurf society a communist one. Each smurf has a personality which is similar to everyday people, such as brainy smurf, papa smurf, jokey smurf and the lady, smurfette. The smurfs even had their own language called “Smurf”, the language worked by replacing most noun and verb with the word smurf. Unless you were a smurf it was very difficult to understand. Then there was Gargamel, he was an evil wizard who wanted more than anything to catch the smurfs to put them in a potion to make gold.
Who was your favorite smurf? Do you still remember how to speak “Smurf”? Who did you most like, a smurf or Gargamel?
