Jealousy (script-writing)

Root: You are afraid of losing the love or friendship of someone special

           if that person pays attention to someone else.

Fruit: You become angry at your friend for not sharing his chocolates with you and shared it with his new friend instead.

Characters: Kokoy, Fritsy , Proot

Scene: Kokoy and Fritsy are playing hide-and-seek at Kokoy’s room. While they are playing, the doorbell rings. Ding-dong-ding-dong!!! Fritsy is hiding at that time inside the closet while Kokoy is about to search for him. But when he heard that the doorbell rings, he chooses to open it first. He then walks towards the door.

Proot: Knock! Knock!

Kokoy: Who’s there?

Proot: Proot.

Kokoy: Proot, who?

Proot: Unsay Proot??? Ablihi ko. Proot-prooton taka ron. (laughs so hard)

Kokoy: Ah...sorry...sorry. Okay I will open the door. Coming soon...

(Kokoy opens the door.)

Proot: Hey bro! What’s up?

Kokoy: Doing great. Get inside bro Proot!

Proot: Bro, I have heard that your mother arrived already from Saudi Slovakia....er...Saudi Arabia...Ahmmp...chocolate...(clears his throat).

Kokoy: Yes, we have lots of chocolates. I can give you some if you want.


(Kokoy and Proot go to the kitchen and eat chocolates. Fritsy then enters the kitchen and gets upset because Kokoy didn’t call him to eat with them. Kokoy forgot that they were playing hide-and-seek and Fritsy is hiding already inside the closet for 3 hours.)

(Fritsy gets out from the closet and see Kokoy and Proot eating in the kitchen. Fritsy then interrupts their happy eating.)

Fritsy: Excuse me Kokoy. (Fritsy is dripping with sweat.)

Kokoy: Oh, Fritsy! Where have you been? Have you taken a bath?

Fritsy: Have you forgotten that we were playing hide-and-seek and I’d been in your closet for three hours hiding without having somebody searching for me? And now you are eating chocolates with Proot without even inviting me.

Kokoy: What? Sorry Fritsy I forgot because my conversation with Proot is as sweet as chocolate, very yummy. Sa bisaya pa, naglami ang amo istorya. I am really sorry bro Fritz.

Fritsy: I don’t need your explanation. Don’t ever dare to call me ‘bro’ anymore. We are no longer friends. I better go home. Bye.

(Fritsy then walks away with jealousy in his heart and feels very frustrated of what had happened.)

Moral lesson: We should not be possessive to any possession we have right now. It could be toys, friends or any property. Instead, we must learn to share it to others so that they will be blessed and God will be pleased.
