NARRATOR

SCRIPT:

 

Setting: A small village nestled at the foot of a mountain range.

Scene 1:

(Meme is tending his fields when Jasmine bursts onto the scene, breathless.)

 

JASMINE: Grandpa Meme! Look what I found!

(She holds up a large, vibrant turquoise stone.)

 

MEME: (Eyes widening) My word, Jasmine! What a remarkable find! It’s the most beautiful turquoise I’ve ever seen!

JASMINE: Can I keep it? Please, please, please!

MEME: (Chuckles) You’re already filled with more treasures than you can hold, my little bird. But I know what to do.

(Meme pockets the stone and continues working.)

JASMINE: (Pouts) But Grandpa…

MEME: Trust me, Jasmine. This stone will find its true purpose.

Scene 2:

(Meme strolls through the bustling marketplace, the turquoise hidden in his bag. He sees Ashraf, a trader known for his exotic goods, setting up his stall.)

MEME: Good morning, Ashraf! What wonders do you bring today?

ASHRAF: (Smiling) Greetings, Meme! Today, I offer silks from the East, spices from the South, and stories from faraway lands.

MEME: (Whispers) I have a different kind of offering. Would you be interested in a magical turquoise?

ASHRAF: (Eyes narrowing) Magical, you say? Tell me more…

MEME: (Leaning closer, lowering his voice) Ashraf, this turquoise isn’t just any stone. It holds a special power. I believe it can grant wishes, or perhaps even transform things into something far greater.

ASHRAF: (Raises an eyebrow, stroking his beard) Now, Meme, you know I’m a man of logic. Magic and wishes are for children’s stories. However, the stone itself is undeniably beautiful. Tell me, how did you come across it?

MEME: While my granddaughter and I were tending to my fields, she saw a glint of blue amongst the soil. It was buried deep, almost as if waiting to be discovered. When she gave it to me and I held it, I felt a strange warmth spread through me, a sense of possibility.

ASHRAF: (Intrigued, leans forward) Hmm, interesting. And what do you propose I do with this “magical” stone?

MEME: I believe it’s meant to be passed on, to find someone who can unlock its true potential. Perhaps it could bring someone a great fortune, or perhaps it could inspire creation, like transforming a simple object into something extraordinary.

ASHRAF: Hmph. This “magic” sounds like old wives’ tales. Still, the stone is beautiful. I’ll offer you a trade: a golden flute said to have belonged to a legendary musician.

MEME: A flute? That sounds perfect! Perhaps it will awaken the hidden music within someone.

(Meme hands over the stone and receives the flute, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.)

Scene 3:

(Meme returns home. Jasmine notices the flute.)

 

JASMINE: A flute, Grandpa? You know I can’t play a musical instrument!

MEME: This one isn’t for you, my dear. It carries the legacy of a great musician, waiting for a new voice to bring it to life. Perhaps someone in the village can use it.

(The next day, Meme walks through the village, offering the golden flute to anyone who might have an interest. One by one, they decline, lacking the talent or the desire. Disheartened, Meme sits on a bench, the flute lying in his lap. Suddenly, a hauntingly beautiful song fills the air. A cloaked figure stands on a nearby hilltop)

MEME: (Whispering) Such a voice…

(The figure descends and approaches Meme. It’s the Singer, voice raw with emotion.)

SINGER: That flute… once belonged to me.

MEME: You play?

SINGER: I used to. But after losing the flute, my music died with it.

MEME: (Hands the flute to the Singer) Then let it be reborn in your hands.

(The Singer takes the flute, tears welling up in his eyes. He raises the instrument and begins to play. The melody fills the village, carrying a message of hope and resilience.)

NARRATOR: The magical turquoise didn’t transform objects into something grand, but it brought together two souls in need of healing. Meme, through his kind heart, discovered the true magic of generosity and connection. And the Singer, empowered by the return of the flute, found his voice once more, filling the world with music. As for Jasmine, well, she continued searching for treasures, both hidden and found within the ordinary.
