Computer or Not?
CHARACTERS: Marco, Ben, Marco’s dad
Scene I Marco’s kitchen; Marco is checking his savings account book.
Marco’s friend, Ben, is reading the newspaper. Marco’s dad is cooking.
MARCO (smiling): I have enough money to buy a computer!
BEN (looking up): Why can’t you just use your dad’s?
MARCO and DAD together: It’s for BUSINESS.
MARCO: Besides, it’s . . . (looking at Ben) . . . What’s wrong?
BEN (frowning): A big earthquake just happened in Brazil. It caused extensive damage. Buildings were destroyed for miles. Maybe we should donate money to help the survivors.
MARCO: Great idea! But . . . if I do that, I can’t buy a computer.
Scene II The next morning in the kitchen; Marco is with his dad.
MARCO (looking tired): I couldn’t sleep. I kept thinking what it would be like to lose everything in an earthquake.
DAD (putting his hand on Marco’s shoulder): I’m glad to see you’re showing empathy and understanding for the survivors.
MARCO: I’ve made a decision! I’m going to donate some of my savings to help the people in Brazil.
DAD (looking approvingly at Marco): Are you sure?
MARCO: Yes. It may be hard, but it’s the right thing to do.
