Princess Sandra

Knights (2)

Scene 1

(Setting a beautiful garden with lots of flowers)

(Princess Ava walks in with Princess Sandra)

Ava: Oh Sandra what am I to do?

Sandra: What do you mean fair sister?

Ava: Our father the king told me to go to town and get a dozen carrots.

Sandra: And what is wrong with that?

Ava: Well Sandra my dear sister, he asked me to go, and I do not know why. He could have sent a servant to go but he asked me instead.

Sandra: Well maybe it was something between you and him.

Ava: But what if it was? Then I have told you and I have ruined his plan.

Sandra: Well not completely.

Ava: But it was have been something important or he would have sent one of our servants to do so.

Sandra: Well I won't say a word.

Ava: Thank you.

(Princess Ava and Princess Sandra leave)

Scene 2

(Princess Ava enters with a dozen carrots to the king)

(Two knights are standing silently by him)

Ava: Father I have brought you your carrots. But would it be all right to ask why?

King: Fair daughter I have my secrets and they should be kept that way.

Ava: Oh just give me a clue, father.

Knight 1: The king has important things to take care of.

King: It's all right, all right then, it is a special stew that will be prepared and it needs a dozen carrots.

Ava: But what kind of clue is that? It doesn't explain anything.

King: Maybe not. But that means that my secret remains secret.

Knight 2: That will be all, Princess Ava.

(Princess Ava leaves grumbling with the two knights shooing her away)

Scene 3

(Ava is siting in her room, on her bed when Sandra comes in)

Ava: The hint didn't change anything!

(Ava angrily throws stuffed animals off the bed and at Sandra)

Sandra: What hint?

Ava: Father told me a hint about the dozen carrots.

Sandra: Well what was it?


Ava: he said: "it is a special stew that will be prepared, and it needs a dozen carrots" but that doesn't change anything.

Sandra: That explains everything! Here come with me.

(Sandra and Ava leave)

Scene 4

(Ava and Sandra are in the garden)

Ava: What are we doing here?

Sandra: You'll see.

(Sandra walks around until she finds what she's looking for, then she gets up and goes to Ava)

Sandra: Come right over here.......

(Ava follows Sandra to a little patch of seeds)

Ava: Why is this important?

Sandra: It's important because the seeds are not growing, but when father pours the stew of a dozen carrots in it will be taller than him.

Ava: Why does it matter?

Sandra: Because these seeds are the seeds of growth.

Scene 5

(Ava is following Sandra back inside)

Ava: I don't get it, what are the seeds of growth?

(Sandra stops and turns around)

Sandra: The seeds of growth make the kingdom grow the people are alive because of them. We have food because of those tiny seeds, but don't breathe a word o anyone even father. It is because only father knew about them and he kept his kingdom alive because of them.

Ava: Why didn't he tell anyone else? And how do you know?

Sandra: If he told someone, word would get out and then people from all over the world would be begging for them. But the problem is he only got a small amount and if he has to he'll journey back to where they got them. But I know because I learned about them and I didn't know that it was real until now.

Ava: I'll keep the secret.

Sandra: Good now how about some tea?

Ava: I'd be delighted.

(Ava and Sandra hook arms and leave)

The End!!
