BEAUTY, THE BULL ( a playscript about Respect)
“ Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.”
Helen Keller
– Respect is to treat others kindly without criticizing.
– Respect is to listen, attend, and treat others as we would like to be treated.
– Respect is necessary to live in peace and harmony with our friends, family, and neighbors.
– We respect ourselves when we take care of our body and our health.
– Feeling respect for ourselves helps us to do what is right even if other people tells us to go the wrong way.
– We should listen others without judging them.
– We have to learn thatwe have the same rights, even if we are different.
– It is important to learn to respect our friends and not laugh for how they look, what they like or for their culture.
– When a friend makes you feel bad or critizes you, it means that he or she doesn`t respect you.
– It is important not to get into people`s lives. Sometimes they need to be alone o have other activities where we can not go and we have to respect that.
– We have to respect our elders and our parents. They have experience and wisdom that can share with us.
– We shouldn`t make feel bad other members of our family even if what they like seems ridiculous to us.
– Respect your parents, your friends, and your teachers.
– Respect yourself. Don`t do what others tells you to do if you think that it is not right.
– Keep your promises so that other people respect you.
Respect should start with ourselves and then continue to others.

NARRATOR: When Beauty grew up into a strong bull, he thought.
BEAUTY: My master gave me everything. One day I would like to thank him.
NARRATOR: So one day Beauty said to his master.
BEAUTY: Master, go and look for a merchant proud of his animals, and tell him that I can pull a hundred wagons.
IVAN: Are you sure you can do it?.
BEAUTY: Yes, master.
NARRATOR: So Ivan went to visit a merchant called Oman.
OMAN: I have the strongest bull in town.
IVAN: Ha, ha, ha, you must be joking!. I have the strongest bull in town, he can pull a hundred fully loaded wagons.
OMAN: I have to see that with my own eyes. I bet you a thousand gold coins.
IVAN: We will do the exhibition tomorrow.
NARRATOR: The merchant tied a hundred sand loaded wagons to make them heavier. When the exhibition started, Ivan got up into the first wagon, he took his whip and hit the bull.
IVAN: Come on lazy animal!. Pull the wagons!.
BEAUTY: I´ve never done anything bad to my master, why is he insulting me?. I will not pull the wagons!.
MERCHANT: Ha, ha, ha, ha give me my gold coins!.
NARRATOR: When they went home, Beauty asked Ivan.
BEAUTY: Why are you sad?.
IVAN: I lost a lot of money because of you.
BEAUTY: You hit me with the whip, and you called me lazy. Tell me, did I in my whole life break something?. I have worked hard for you, haven’t I?
IVAN: Well, yes.
BEAUTY: I feel sorry for you. Go and tell the mechant to bet again, but this time bet two thousand gold coins. And, this time use only the words I deserve.
NARRATOR: The merchant agreed and thought he would win again. Next day everything was ready. When it was time for Beauty to pull the wagons, Ivan said.
NARRATOR: Beauty obeyed immediately and pulled the hundred wagons.
OMAN: What!. I can´t believe he did it. I will have to pay Ivan two thousand gold coins.
NARRATOR: And people who watched the bull pulling the wagons ran to him to feed him and give him presents.
IVAN: I appreciate the lesson Beauty taught me. I have to be humble and respect others.
NARRATOR: And it was a lesson Ivan remembered his whole life.
