SCRIPT:
NARRATOR: Once upon a time there was an fairy who lived inside a mountain which was full of gold, silver, and precious stones.
FAIRY: Oh, I’m so bored in this place!. I wish I could go out into the world and see the sun, the lakes , rivers, and the flowers. But that’s impossible. I have to stay here, underground taking care of all these rubies, diamonds, and emeralds.
NARRATOR: One day she heard a noise coming from outside the mountain. Some people were making a hole to get inside.
FAIRY: They are coming to steal my treasure!. Men are greedy and ambitious!. I will help them get in, and I will even give them some of my treasure.
NARRATOR: The fairy used her magic to open up a hole, and a few minutes later three sweaty, dirty, and tired men entered the treasure mountain.
MAN 1: Where are we?. I can’t see anything!.
MAN 2: Me neither!.
MAN 3: Where’s that bright light coming from?. I can’t even open my eyes!.
NARRATOR: Finally, the three men could open their eyes.
MAN 1, 2, AND 3: This is wonderful!.
MAN 1: Come o, everything is ours!.
FAIRY: Stop where you are!.
MAN 2: Who are you?.
FAIRY: I live here. you don’t have to take anything. I give it to you.
MAN 3: Are you sure?.
FAIRY: Yes, take everything you want.
MAN 1: Thank you good fairy!.
MAN 2: I’ll fill my pockets with all these precious stones!.
MAN 3: You are so kind.
FAIRY: Don’t say anything more, just take whatever you want to, and leave.
NARRATOR: The three men took everything they could, and left the mountain feeling satisfied. One day, one of them came back to the mountain.
FAIRY: What did you come back?. Didn’t you have enough?. Is it possible that you don’t have anything I gave you?.
MAN 1: Oh, yes I do. I have everything you gave me. In fact, I hid the treasure in a safe place, not even my son knows where it is.
FAIRY: You’re so greedy!. You were not capable of sharing your treasure with anybody, not even your son. Get away from here, I will not give you more!.
MAN 1: No, listen to me, please.
FAIRY: Get out!.
NARRATOR: The man left, and after a few months another man came back to the mountain.
FAIRY: What do you want?.
MAN 2: Please, help me!. I have lost everything you gave me. I don’t have a single precious stone.
FAIRY: What did you do with all the treasure I gave you?.
MAN 2: I used it to get to know people better. Money makes people betray each other, even an honest man can turn disrespectful and dishonest!.
FAIRY: So you used the treasure to turn people against each other, and you dare to come and ask for more. I don’t want to see you anymore. get out!.
NARRATOR: The man left, and a few months later the third man came back to the mountain.
FAIRY: Now it’s you!. I won’t give you anything. Get away from here!.
MAN 3: I don’t want anything else from you. I just came to give you back some of the treasure you gave me. I don’t want to be rich!.
FAIRY: You don’t want to be a wealthy man?.
MAN 3: No.
FAIRY: why?.
MAN 3: Because money doesn’t make me happy. People came to me just because I was rich. They were not sincere. They were not my true friends.
FAIRY: Oh, surely wealth is not a good thing!. Go back to your own world. You are poor once again and you can now live in peace.
NARRATOR: The man left, and she forgot her dream of going out into the world. She forgot about the sun, the lakes, the rivers, and the flowers.
FAIRY: I prefer to stay here, in my underground world with my treasure. Men don’t understand that wealth doesn’t bring happiness. Wealth can also bring misfortune.
