Sawyer: Where is my bookbag? Where is my bookbag?
(The god of the lake appears.)

Sawyer: I lost my bag.
(The vendor sneaks up behind and listens to them talking.)
God: Is it yours? (Holding the gold bag.)
Sawyer: No, it’s not mine.
God: Is it yours? (Holding the silver bag.)
Sawyer: No, it’ not mine.
God: Is it yours? (Holding Sawyer’s bag.)
Sawyer: Yes, it is mine. Thank you.

Sawyer: Thanks. But I just want my bag. Good-bye.
God: Good boy. (Sawyer walks away and the god disappears.)
Vendor: Ha Ha Ha ~~~~ I am lucky. Money. Money. Here I come.
(The vendor throws the toast into the lake.)

(The God appears with bandages on his head.)
Vendor: Yes! Yes! Yes!
God: Is it yours? (Holding the toast.)
Vendor: No, it’s not mine.
God: Is it yours? (Holding a pair of slippers.)
Vendor: No, it’s not mine. It’s big.
God: OK! OK! Is it yours? (Holding a gold rock.)
Vendor: Yes, it is.
God: OK! OK! Here you are.
(The god gives the gold rock to the vendor.)
Vendor: It is a lot of gold. Ha Ha Ha….
Narrator: The vendors moves the rock happily but slowly. Finally, he can’t move it anymore because he is too hungry to do it.
(Bell rings.)
Narrator: Time to go home. Sawyer sees the vendor lying on the gold rock.
Sawyer: Are you okay?
Vendor: I am so hungry. Can you help me?
Sawyer: I have an apple.
(Take the apple from his bag and give it to the vendor.)
Vendor: Thank you. You are a good boy. I should be honest and kind.
