Katherine: Haha, but you have a very big hump, actually you have three of them!
Scene 2:
Narrator: Katherine was mean like this, but Jinny was very kind. One day Jinny was climbing a mountain.
Jinny: Oh it's so cold and it's snowing. I think I must go to the house and wait until the snow stops.
Narrator: Jinny goes into the small house and calls:
Jinny: "Hello, anybody? Let's… let’s just wait."
Narrator: A monster came.
Monster: RooOAr, haha, my food came by (it's own) feet.
Jinny: Oh please! Please, don't eat me, please save me!
Monster: Hmm, then sing or dance, make me happy!
Jinny: OK Lala Lala Lala La
Monster: Oh it sounds beautiful! Where does that amazing sound come from?
Jinny: Uhhh... it comes from… my hump!
Monster: Ohhh, I want that wonderful hump! Then I won't eat you, and I will give you lots of gold!
Jinny: Okay, then take one.
Monster: Okay, abracadabra, make that hump on me!
Narrator: Now Jinny has only two humps and she is very rich. But the monster knew that the hump didn't help with singing, so the monster was very mad.
Monster: RoooAAR!
Scene 3:
Katherine: Oh Jinny, you only have two humps, and you are very rich.
Jinny: Yes, but why?
Katherine: Umm… how did you get everything?
Narrator: Jinny explained everything.
Katherine: Oh, I see, haha, bye-bye! (and ran away)
Narrator: One rainy day Katherine climbed the mountain and went into the house.
Monster: You! You lied to me!
Katherine: Stop! I will sing for you.
Monster: Uhh then, are you going to sing to me? I like your song!
Katherine: LaA laLA laLA (she sings badly)!
Monster: STOP! Owww! My ears! Hey you, you will be punished, I will give you one terrible hump and you have to give me 10 gold coins every week.
Katherine: T-t-t-t-ten? Oh my!
Monster: If you don't I will eat you!
Narrator: So Katherine wanted to earn gold but she just earned one terrible hump.
Monster: Abracadabra, make the hump on her!
Katherine: AHHHH!
Scene 4:
Jinny: Ha ha ha ha, now you have a hump too.
Katherine: I’m sorry about everything, I'm so sorry.
Jinny: That’s Okay now, don't be mean, be nice and kind!
Katherine: Okay.
