🎭 Script
Narrator: Long ago in a distant kingdom, there lived a wise old king 👑 who had fallen seriously ill. His three sons were worried, for the only thing that could save him was the legendary Water of Life 💧 hidden in an enchanted land.
Narrator: The eldest son 🧝♂️, bold and confident, set out first. On his journey, he met an old dwarf 🌳 who asked, “Where are you going, noble prince?”
Eldest Son: “None of your business, old man!” he snapped and rode off.
Narrator: The dwarf, offended, cast a silent spell. The prince soon got lost in a dark forest and couldn’t find his way.
Narrator: The second son 🧝♂️ tried next. He too met the dwarf and responded rudely.
Second Son: “Get out of my way!”
Narrator: The same fate met him—he wandered endlessly through a maze of trees, never reaching the Water of Life.
Narrator: Then came the youngest son 🧝♂️, gentle and kind. When he met the dwarf, he bowed respectfully.
Youngest Son: “Good day, wise one. I seek the Water of Life to heal my father.”
Dwarf 🌳: “Ah, such kindness deserves a reward. Follow this path. You’ll find the spring, but beware—the water is guarded by an enchanted princess 👸.”
Narrator: He thanked the dwarf and followed the path. At the spring, he met the princess who warned, “Only the pure of heart may take this water.”
Narrator: The youngest son answered honestly and proved his goodness. The princess smiled and let him take a vial of the magical water.
Narrator: He returned and healed his father. The kingdom rejoiced, and the king named his youngest son heir to the throne. 🌈
Narrator: The older brothers, ashamed of their pride, learned humility. Peace returned, and the Water of Life became a symbol of kindness and courage.
