THE HUNGRY TRAVELLER
SCRIPT/DIALOGE
Narrator:
Once upon a time, there came the story of three
travellers, Jovera, Daviki and Katlin on their journey. They bring food
supplies such as rice, meat, milk and fruits. When tired they stopped walking
and cooking food. If they meet the village, they will stop buying food to be
food for the next journey. One day, they arrived in the thick forest. They do
not meet the hamlet or village. They stop and rest under the shady fig tree.
The food supply has run out. The three friends are very hungry. So they start
thought and thinking of food. They start complaining and dreaming to enjoy an
abundance of food and will consume it.
Jovera:
Hey, if there have ten plates of rice, I will eat them alone. I don’t want
to share with anybody. (Sad)
Daviki:
That right. If there have ten pieces of grilled chicken, I will eat them by
myself. (Sad)
Katlin:
You two very greedy and bragging about. I was hungry too. For me, if there is
one plate of rice, it is enough. (Relax)
Jovera
& Daviki: (Laugh together)
Jovera:
With one plate of rice, how can it be satisfied?
Katlin:
Whatever.

The old woman felt sorry and discharge
each of the three traveller demands. The travellers was surprised and happy
when saw all what their want appear in front them. So they start eat the food

Jovera:
Urgh, I’m very full now but there still three plates left. I’m not able to
finish the rice. (Threw the rice into the bush)
Rice:
Why did not you finish us? (Suddenly ask)
Jovera:
I’m already full. (Relax)
Rice:
But, you promised to eat us until finish. (Start angry)
Jovera:
Don’t you hear me? I’m already full. (Relax)
