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)
