SCRIPT:
NARRATOR: Many, many years ago in a faraway land, a sweet bull was born. A very rich man called Ivan, named him Beauty.
IVAN: I have to feed Beauty and take good care of him.
NARRATOR: When Beauty grew up into a strong bull, he thought.
BEAUTY: My master gave me everything. One day I would like to thank him.
NARRATOR: So one day Beauty said to his master.
BEAUTY: Master, go and look for a merchant proud of his animals, and tell him that I can pull a hundred wagons.
IVAN: Are you sure you can do it?.
BEAUTY: Yes, master.
NARRATOR: So Ivan went to visit a merchant called Oman.
OMAN: I have the strongest bull in town.
IVAN: Ha, ha, ha, you must be joking!. I have the strongest bull in town, he can pull a hundred fully loaded wagons.
OMAN: I have to see that with my own eyes. I bet you a thousand gold coins.
IVAN: We will do the exhibition tomorrow.
NARRATOR: The merchant tied a hundred sand loaded wagons to make them heavier. When the exhibition started, Ivan got up into the first wagon, he took his whip and hit the bull.
IVAN: Come on lazy animal!. Pull the wagons!.
BEAUTY: I´ve never done anything bad to my master, why is he insulting me?. I will not pull the wagons!.
MERCHANT: Ha, ha, ha, ha give me my gold coins!.
NARRATOR: When they went home, Beauty asked Ivan.
BEAUTY: Why are you sad?.
IVAN: I lost a lot of money because of you.
BEAUTY: You hit me with the whip, and you called me lazy. Tell me, did I in my whole life break something?. I have worked hard for you, haven’t I?
IVAN: Well, yes.
BEAUTY: I feel sorry for you. Go and tell the merchant to bet again, but this time bet two thousand gold coins. And, this time use only the words I deserve.
NARRATOR: The merchant agreed and thought he would win again. Next day everything was ready. When it was time for Beauty to pull the wagons, Ivan said.
IVAN: (touching Beauty´s head with a flower) Beauty, could you please do me the favor of pulling these hundred wagons?.
NARRATOR: Beauty obeyed immediately and pulled the hundred wagons.
OMAN: What!. I can´t believe he did it. I will have to pay Ivan two thousand gold coins.
NARRATOR: And people who watched the bull pulling the wagons ran to him to feed him and give him presents.
IVAN: I appreciate the lesson Beauty taught me. I have to be humble and respect others.
NARRATOR: And it was a lesson Ivan remembered his whole life.
THE END
