Narrator: Once upon a time there lived a young boy

Jack who lived in a small town. Jack always wished to travel the world. He was very kind at heart. Over
many years of hard work he had managed to save 25 gold coins and thus one day he gathered all his
money in a small pouch and left to fulfil his wish. He walked for days till he came across an old house

Jack: Who would build a house so deep into the forest? I am sure nobody lives here I can rest here for
tonight. Oh! This coffin looks new compared to this dusty house. It's so strange to find it here.

Narrator: Jack sat near the door he was so tired that he instantly fell asleep. In his sleep he dreamt of a
girl. She was wearing a white gown. She had long silky hair and beautiful black eyes. Jack instantly fell in
love with her but then he realized that something was wrong. She was crying

Princess: Save me.. Save me!

Narrator: But before jack could take her hand he woke up.

Jack: Huh? What? What happened?

Thieves: Shhhhh..

Thieves2: What Shh…? There is nobody here to listen to us.

Thieves: You were right let's quickly take out all his jewels.

Jack: Wait, what are you doing?

Thieves: Who are you?

Jack: My name is jack. Why are you opening this poor man’s?
Coffin?

Thieves: Poor man? He borrowed money from us and never gave it back. We are only here to take his
jewels and get our money back.

Jack: No, so what if he is not alive anymore? It's wrong to break his coffin here. These 25 gold coins are
all i have. Take it and leave but don't break his coffin. Let him rest in peace.

Thieves: This is too much!

Thieves: He owes us much more than this but all right we will make do! We will not break his coffin.
Goodbye my friend.

Narrator: Jack had no money left now but he was not sad at all. He knew he did the right thing. He tried
to go back to sleep and dream about the beautiful girl again but the dream was gone and so was the girl.
As morning broke, jack picked up his belongings and left the house. He walked for a long time enjoying
the fresh air after a while he saw something strange.
Noble man: Where should I stand? This place is beautiful. I should come here often. Well of course till.

Jack: Uh, hello are you lost?

Noble man: It's not possible for me to be lost because I am not going anywhere. I decided to travel this
world and go wherever the wind takes me.

Jack: Uh that's great. I am traveling the world too. Would you like to join me?

Noble man: Um like a traveling companion?

Jack: Oh yes why not?

Narrator: And thus began the journey of jack and his traveling companion.

Jack: Wait. Did you hear that?

Narrator: I can see it too. It's an old woman. It seems she broke her ankle. She needs our help jack. Let's
go and help her out. Jack quick open my bag and take out the blue bottle.

Jack: Ugh! I can't! It's locked.

Old Woman: I can walk! I can jump! My feet are better than before! Oh you noble one, how can I repay
you?

Noble man: How about you give me that long blunt stick.

Old woman: Oh sure! Take it!

Noble man: Thank you so much

Jack: What do you need this stick for?

Nobleman: I love collecting things. Everything is useful.

Narrator: Jack found his new companion very interesting. They both walked ahead and came across a
hill.

Nobleman: I think we must climb this.

Jack: What? This? What's that?

Noble man: Oh! Looks like a bird's wings.

Jack: Birds don't leave their wings behind.

Noble man: Maybe the bird knew I would need his wings for something.
Jack: Did you see that? They flew on their own. Your bag is magical.
Noble man: Is it? I don’t know. I never noticed. Let's go.

Narrator: They both reached a small town. The traveling companion asked jack to wait by the road
while he bombed the best hotel for them to stay. As jack waited quietly he heard a loud and stern voice.

Guards: Move the princess is coming!


what
no
can this be
what happened
she is the girl i dreamt of back at the
old house
jack narrated the entire dream to his
new friend
i see you must go see the princess
tomorrow
and that's what jack did
at the first ray of the morning sun jack
went to the palace
it was a very dull looking old palace
jack wondered if anyone lived there at
all
as he entered there were no guards to
stop him
he saw the king sitting sadly upon his
throne
jack bowed to the king your majesty
i have come here to ask for your
i know i know
you must have come here to ask for my
daughter's hand in marriage
uh
yes sir
wait here my daughter must be coming
jack was confused
but he dared not question the king he
waited there patiently
shortly enough the princess arrived she
wore a black robe her eyes were dull and
her face was thinner than the previous
night
but jack did not care he was hopelessly
in love with her
my princess
i am here to ask for your hand in
marriage
all right
but you have to pass a test first
come with me
jack happily followed the princess
he was already dreaming of a future with
her
as he entered the balcony on the back of
the palace he saw a lake below
what a beautiful lake
i am glad you like it
or if you fail my test you will be
thrown in this lake
just like the ones before who came to
marry me
now listen closely
you will be called to the palace every
morning at nine o'clock for three days
each day you will have to show exactly
what i am thinking of if you show me the
wrong thing even once you will be thrown
in this lake
and if you guess it correctly and show
me what i am thinking of all the three
times
then i shall marry you
do you agree
no
you agreed
you are crazier than i am
i didn't know what else to do
i love her
if i don't marry her then i might as
well live in that lake with the
crocodiles
all right
go to sleep now
i will think of something
jack's traveling companion was worried
for him
as soon as jack fell asleep he took out
a bow and the long stick out of his bag
he then put on the bird's wings and flew
towards the palace
he wanted to find out the truth behind
the mysterious palace and its princess
as he came closer to the princess's room
he hid behind a tower
he saw the princess come out of her room
onto the balcony
to his surprise
she opened her black wings and flew away
she is no ordinary princess
i have to follow her
the companion took out his bow and the
long stick
he aimed at the princess and shot the
stick at her
as she turned he hid behind a tree and
peeped out
what he saw next shocked him
her eyes were green
oh
she is under a spell
the traveling companion kept following
her the princess flew down and went into
a cave
she walked inside until she came to a
big opening
there on a throne sat a big green
monster
master a young boy named jack wishes to
marry me another one
you don't have to worry take this
this is what he must show you
yes master
the next morning when the clock struck
nine jack came to the palace with a box
in his hand
he stood before the princess
show me jack what am i thinking of
my beautiful princess you are thinking
about this
how can this be
because my love for you is pure
enough
come back tomorrow
the princess was very confused
no one has ever been able to guess it
right but the princess didn't know that
jack's traveling companion had watched
the monster give her the glove
that night she flew out again with the
companion following her
she went to the cave and narrated the
incident to the monster he was equally
shocked
but this can be a coincidence he thought
to himself
this time he gave her three marbles
the princess bowed down to her master
and left the next morning once again
jack guessed it right
the palace rejoiced
they thought jack was a magician
that night back at the hotel
tomorrow is the last day my friend
what do you think she will be thinking
of
we will know that tomorrow
that night the companion knew he had to
do something about the monster
when jack fell asleep he flew towards
the cave the princess was already there
impossible how can he guess it right
all right go back to your palace
five minutes before nine my goblin will
come to you with a box
nobody will be able to guess what's in
it
go now
go to the forest and look for a flower
that has all the seven colors of the
rainbow there is only one such flower in
this whole world
find it and give it to the princess
tomorrow morning
even if the boy guesses it right he will
never be able to show it to her
ah
aren't you cute
let's go
next morning the princess was waiting
for the goblin near her window it was
five minutes to nine but the goblin
never appeared
where is the goblin
princess the king wants to see you now
it's nine o'clock
back in the hall the entire kingdom
gathered waiting to see the miracle
the princess came out
but something was different about her
she looked distracted
my love
for the last two days you were not
thinking of anything
you were merely doing what was asked of
you
but today you are thinking of something
and i know what that is
what is it what is it
your majesty your daughter is thinking
of this missing goblin
what
how did you
[Music]
oh jack
you broke the spell
thank you sir i am a soldier of this
palace the evil monster was in love with
the princess but he could not have her
as i tried to save the princess he cast
a spell on us both
only a man who passes his test could
destroy him and today you have freed us
of his cruel magic
well i didn't my friend here did
princess
meet my friend
wait
i never asked you your name
you helped me over and over
and i don't even know your name
i feel so ashamed of myself
how can i be so selfish
you are anything but selfish jack
i came back only because of you
ain't back
what do you mean
jack
you never asked me how i knew your name
[Music]
i forgot to ask you that too
i know it because you said it out loud
in my house was saving me from those
thieves
you gave them all your money jack your
25 gold coins
only so that i could rest in peace
you have a very big heart my friend and
now
my work here is done

it's time for me to go
jack was sad but he knew he would never
forget his dear friend
the kingdom rejoiced for their new
prince

after
the end
