Scene 1: Marty's Generosity

Marty: (friendly) Hello there! You seem lost. Can I help you?

Simon: (acting innocent) Oh, thank you! I'm just a poor traveler looking for some food.

Marty: (kindly) No worries! I have some bread. Let's share.

(They sit down to eat.)

Scene 2: The Mischievous Satyr

(Simon, while pretending to eat the bread, secretly hides some in his bag.)

Marty: (not noticing) It's nice to share, isn't it?

Simon: (smirking) Absolutely!

Benny: (whispering to the audience) Something doesn't seem right. I better keep an eye on them.

Scene 4: The Offer

(Marty, unaware of Simon's mischief, offers to share more.)

Marty: I have more food in my bag. Let me get it for you.

(Simon smirks, thinking of another trick.)

Scene 5: The Misleading Offer

(Simon suggests they play a game to decide who gets the food.)

Simon: How about a race? If I win, I get all the food.

Marty: (confused) Well, okay. But why not just share?

Simon: (slyly) I love a good challenge.

Scene 6: Benny's Warning

(Benny approaches Marty with a warning.)

Benny: Marty, be careful! I saw Simon hiding some of the bread earlier. I don't think he's being honest.

Marty: (realizing) Oh no! Thank you, Benny. I'll be cautious.

Scene 7: The Honest Choice

(Benny, Marty, and Simon gather to discuss the lesson learned.)

Benny: Honesty is the best policy. Tricks and deceit won't bring true happiness.

Marty: Thanks, Benny. I'll remember that.
