Title: The Forgotten Promise
Characters:
1. Emma - A young girl with a vivid imagination
2. Lily - Emma's best friend, also imaginative
3. Mrs. Jenkins - Emma's neighbor and a mysterious lady
Setting:
A park during a sunny afternoon.
(Scene: Emma and Lily sit on a bench in the park, engaged in a lively discussion.)
Emma: (excitedly) Lily, remember the old lady who lives next door? Mrs. Jenkins?
Lily: (nodding) Yeah, I've seen her a few times. She seems quite intriguing, doesn't she?
Emma: Well, yesterday I was playing near her house when she called me over. She gave me a key and said, "This is the key to an enchanted treasure box hidden in the park. Find it and share its secrets with a true friend."
Lily: (intrigued) An enchanted treasure box? This sounds like an incredible adventure, Emma!
(Scene: Emma and Lily roam around the park, searching for the hidden treasure box.)
Emma: (whispering) I think I saw Mrs. Jenkins looking this way earlier. Let's split up and cover more ground.
(Emma and Lily separate and explore different areas.)
(Scene: Emma stumbles upon a hidden spot with a large, ornate chest, covered in ivy.)
Emma: (whispering) Jackpot! This must be the treasure box!
(She tries the key Mrs. Jenkins gave her, and it fits.)
(Scene: Emma opens the treasure box. A bright light emanates, and Mrs. Jenkins appears.)
Mrs. Jenkins: (mystical voice) Well done, young adventurers. You have discovered the long-lost treasure box promised to me in my childhood. Within it are memories, dreams, and the power of friendship.
Emma: (in awe) What do we do with it, Mrs. Jenkins?
Mrs. Jenkins: (smiling) You must promise to cherish its contents and hold onto the power of friendship forever.
(Scene: Emma and Lily hold hands, making the promise to Mrs. Jenkins.)
Emma: We promise, Mrs. Jenkins. We will always treasure this box and the power of friendship.
(Scene: Mrs. Jenkins fades away, leaving Emma and Lily holding the treasure box.)
Lily: This is magical, Emma. We have a real treasure in our hands!
Emma: Yes, Lily, and we must never forget the promise we made to Mrs. Jenkins. Let's always be true friends and keep the magic alive.
(Emma and Lily hold the treasure box together, as the curtain closes.)
