SCRIPT:
(Samuel’s father, Samuel, and Manuel are in a hut in the forest)
Samuel: I heard some gypsies came to town.
Manuel: Is it true that they are fortune tellers?
Samuel’s father: That’s nonsense!
Samuel: Let’s go see them! I wonder what advice they could give me!
Samuel’s Father: Not today… it’s getting late, and the forest at this time is not safe.
Manuel: Don’t worry, sir… I’ll take care of Samuel.
Samuel’s father: I know you will Manuel…
Manuel: Samuel is my best friend, and I will not let anything happen to him.
Samuel’s Father: Very well, I’m trusting you… go ahead and have fun.
Samuel: Thank you, father!
(Samuel and Manuel leave. They walk in the forest)
Manuel: Do you think gypsies are psychics?
Samuel: I don’t know… but people say they have magical powers.
(they hear a bear roaring)
Manuel: Did you hear that?
Samuel: Sshhh, it’s a bear… my father was right… it’s getting dark and the forest is not safe.
Manuel: We will be fine, don’t worry.
Samuel: Manuel, look! It’s the bear… it’s in the middle of the path.
Manuel: Oh no! Run… run!
(Samuel and Manuel start to run. They find a tree)
Manuel: Let me be the first one to climb the tree.
Samuel: Fine… let me help you… get into my shoulders.
(Manuel climbs into the tree)
Samuel: Give me your hand… hurry up!
Manuel: There’s no room for the both of us! Find another place to hide!
Samuel: (thinking) What am I going to do?.
(the bear is approaching)
Samuel: (thinking) I’ll lay flat on the ground and pretend that I’m dead.
(Samuel lays flat on the ground without moving . The bear approaches, sniffs his palms, then the bear leans over Samuel’s ear, and leaves. Manuel gets down from the tree).
Manuel: Oh, Samuel… I thought the bear was going to attack you! I saw him whispering something to your ear.
Samuel: Oh, he was a fortune teller bear!
Manuel: A fortune teller bear?
Samuel: Yes… he came along with the gypsies… and he read my palms!
Manuel: Really…what did he say?
Samuel: He told me never to travel with a friend who deserts me at the first sign of trouble…. just the advice I needed!
Manuel: Oh!… sorry.
Samuel: I’m going home… good-bye.
(Samuel walks away)
