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!.  (They start running.  They see a tree)  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)  Give me your hand, hurry up!.

MANUEL: There’s no room for both of us!.  Find another place to hide!.

SAMUEL:  What am I going to do?. (the bear approaches)  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, I´m so sorry.

SAMUEL: I’m going home.  Good-bye.

(Samuel leaves the stage)
