Maraya and Ms. Carolyn's Writing Business (transcript)

"Maraya and Ms. Carolyn's Writing Business" is the thirty-fifth episode of the series "My Continued School Life".
== Description ==
Maraya has nothing to do at the Griswell residence one day and tells Ms. Carolyn that she's read all her books at least millions of times after recommending her to go read one, so they decide to write their own story and later during the week when they print a lot of copies for their book, it becomes a big hit as everyone in the school is interested in reading the story that they wrote and illustrated together.
== Transcript ==
(The episode starts by taking place outside of the Griswell residence and then zooms into the living room window where Maraya and Ms. Carolyn are located)
Maraya (sighs): I'm bored. There's nothing fun to do here.
(The scene zooms out when Ms. Carolyn talks to her)
Ms. Carolyn: Why don't you go read a book, Maraya?
Maraya: But I've read all these books millions and millions of times.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, why don't we go write our own book?
Maraya: Will it be fun?
Ms. Carolyn: Of course, it will be fun.
Maraya: Okay, then let's go!
(When Maraya runs away, Ms. Carolyn follows her. The scene changes to where Maraya is seated at the kitchen table)
Ms. Carolyn: Here's some paper, Maraya.
Maraya: Thanks, Ms. Carolyn. Now I'm ready to write my very first story.
(She grabs her pencil so she can begin, but then, she doesn't know what to write about)
Maraya: But what should I write about?
Ms. Carolyn: You can write about anything you like. There's a big imagination of yours out there that's waiting for you.
Maraya: All right, but still, can you help me? What do you think I should write about?
(Ms. Carolyn is seen thinking until she gets an idea)
Ms. Carolyn: I know, how about if you can write the story of The Swiss Family Robinson?
Maraya: Okay. (grabs pencil but then stops herself) But our last name isn't Robinson and we're not Swiss.
Ms. Carolyn: Hmm, you got a point there, Maraya.
(The scene zooms in when Maraya is thinking until she has thought of an idea)
Maraya: I know, how about if I can call the story The American Family Adams instead?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Good idea, Maraya.
Maraya: And, oh, can Mr. Danny be in the story, too?
Ms. Carolyn: Of course. After all, it is our story.
Maraya: Great. I'll write the story and you can draw the pictures.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay.
(She grabs a piece of paper and starts drawing the first picture for the story. The scene changes again to where it is a few hours later)
Maraya: There, I'm done writing the story. Are you nearly finished with those pictures, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: Yep. (finishes picture and shows it to her) What do you think of it?
Maraya: It's awesome! Ms. Carolyn, you are an awesome illustrator.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, Maraya. Now let me put your written pages and my drawn pictures together and then we've officially written our very first book.
(She goes to another area of the kitchen to put their pages together so it can become a book. Once she is finished, she shows the finished product off)
Ms. Carolyn: There, the book is complete. (scene zooms out) And now that it's complete, want me to read it to you?
Maraya: Sure.
(She gets up from her chair to push it in back to the way it was before and then walks out. The scene changes once again to where she is sitting on the couch by herself until Ms. Carolyn comes and sits with her to start reading the book)
Ms. Carolyn: The American Family Adams. (starts reading) "Once upon a time, there was a family of three named the Adams Family."
(While Maraya is thinking, a bubble pops up above her head so she can picture the story)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): "In the family, there was a strong-willed and hard-working father named Ryan, a caring and more laid-back mother named Lisa, and then a daughter named Haley, who was very intelligent. And one day, they were sailing in a gentle body of water on a boat."
(The page is then turned to another page where they are still sailing)
Ms. Carolyn (as narrator): "But while they were sailing on the boat, a big storm was heard."
(Thunder rumbles)
Lisa (gasps): Did you hear that?
Ryan: Yes, Lisa, it was just some thunder.
Lisa: That is not just some thunder, Ryan. In fact, there could be a storm coming.
Ryan: Oh, Lisa, don't be such a scaredy-cat. It's not really a big deal.
Haley: Actually, I would have to agree with Lisa. There is a storm coming and we need to get to some land before it gets worse.
All: Whoa!
Lisa: Quick, grab the oar!
(Ryan gets an oar from the floorboard of the boat)
Lisa: Now, row us to the nearest land.
Ryan: I got it, baby.
(When he tries to row the boat with the oar, the wind blows them back more)
All: Whoa!
Ryan: The oar doesn't work.
Lisa: Give me that oar!
(She rows the boat really fast while Ryan looks for the nearest land)
Ryan: Land ahoy!
(The wind then picks up, which causes the sail to blow the other way and make them go forward)
All: Whoa!
Ms. Carolyn (as narrator): "Once the storm got worse and worse, the boat started to break until they got to the nearest land, which was a little island. Then once the whole family got off, the boat sank into the water and was never seen again."
Ryan: Phew. It was a good thing that you helped me get here before our boat broke and sank.
Lisa: Yeah, but now, we're stuck on the island and we only have our oar with us.
Haley: I'm sure we'll be alright, mom and dad. Come on, let's go.
(While Haley is walking away, Ryan and Lisa still talk to each other)
Ryan: Haley's right. We should be alright, as long as we have our utilities with us. Come on, baby.
(They follow Haley to another area of the island)
Ms. Carolyn (as narrator): "After Ryan and Lisa walked to where Haley was, the storm suddenly stopped, and then, they all got hungry for food."
(Stomach growling)
Ryan: Oh, I'm so hungry.
(Lisa's stomach growls next)
Lisa: Me, too.
(Haley's stomach growls after hers)
Haley: And so am I. I think we need to eat some food.
Ryan: But where are we going to find food in a place like this?
Lisa: Do you think we should yell for help?
Ryan: Yeah. (inhales) Help!
Ms. Carolyn (as narrator): "And guess who came when Ryan shouted for help? It was...Maraya and Ms. Carolyn!"
Ms. Carolyn (not seen, yelling): Not to fear!
(Maraya and Ms. Carolyn jump up one at a time, pretending to be superheroes while superhero music plays in the background)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya and Ms. Carolyn are here!
Lisa: Oh, thank goodness you're here, Maraya and Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: So, what can we do to help?
Lisa: Well, we need you to help us with - (stomach growling)
Ms. Carolyn (in background): Oh!
Lisa: Sorry, that was my stomach. It just growled.
Ms. Carolyn: Sounds like you need some food, Mrs. Eidson.
Lisa: Yeah, that's what we need, but we don't know where to find any food. After all, it is a deserted island.
Ms. Carolyn: Not to worry, we'll find you some food, just sit tight. (to Maraya) Come on, Maraya.
(They both run away from the family to find some food in another area of the island. The setting changes to that area where they are both walking)
Ms. Carolyn: Now, where would you find food on an island like this? (stops walking) Hmm, I need to think.
(Meanwhile, Maraya runs away from her because she found some food)
Ms. Carolyn (as narrator): "But while Ms. Carolyn was thinking about where she would find food for the family, Maraya spotted three trees that had different types of fruit on each of them."
(The camera points back at Ms. Carolyn still thinking about the situation until she hears Maraya telling her to look at something)
Maraya (not seen): Look, Ms. Carolyn!
(Ms. Carolyn walks up to her)
Ms. Carolyn: What did you find, Maraya?
Maraya: Look!
(Ms. Carolyn looks up and sees the fruit on the trees)
Ms. Carolyn: Wow, look. There are three trees, and they even have some fruit on them. (she is seen again) That's perfect for the family to eat, and now, we just need to decide which fruit to pick and it has to be perfect.
(In the meantime, Maraya looks right and sees a banana tree)
Maraya: Ooh!
(She shakes her side so she can show her something else)
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, Maraya, we'll look at each tree and look for the fruit that's perfect. (to herself) Now, which one should we start with?
Maraya: I recommend you start with this one.
Ms. Carolyn: How about...this one?
Maraya: Aw!
(She follows Ms. Carolyn to the first tree, which is a mango tree)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn, you make everything unfair.
Ms. Carolyn: No, I don't. I'm being very fair. Speaking of which, how about if I describe the fruit to you and then you can tell me what you think of it? Does that sound like a plan?
Maraya: Yeah, I suppose, as long as you make it fun.
Ms. Carolyn: Don't worry, Maraya, I'll make it very fun. Now, let's start. (backs up a little) What do you think of the first fruit: mangoes?
Maraya: Don't you need utensils to get into a mango?
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, yeah, you're right, so I guess mangoes are out. Okay, let's go to the next one.
(The scene is zoomed out while they are walking to the coconut tree. Then it is zoomed back in when they get there)
Ms. Carolyn: So what do you think of the second fruit: coconuts?
Maraya: But you need a mallet to open a coconut.
Ms. Carolyn: Hmm, you're right again, Maraya. Coconuts are also hard to get into, so let's move onto the next fruit.
(The scene is zoomed out again when they walk to the last tree, which is the banana tree. When they get there, it is zoomed back in again)
Ms. Carolyn: What do you think of the third fruit: bananas?
Maraya: They're perfect!
Ms. Carolyn: I agree. They're easy to open, nutritious, and delicious, too! I think we should get some bananas for the family.
Maraya: Yeah!
(But when she is about to get a bunch off the tree, she struggles to reach for them)
Ms. Carolyn: (grunting)
(After trying twice, she stops and tells Maraya that she can't reach them)
Ms. Carolyn: I can't reach them. They're too high.
Maraya: Oh...
Ms. Carolyn: We need to think of a way to get them down, but how?
(They both think of something to do until Maraya gets an idea)
Maraya: I know! Ms. Carolyn, give me a boost.
Ms. Carolyn: But why?
Maraya: To get to the bananas.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, okay. I suppose we can give it a try.
Maraya: Yay!
(She climbs onto her back so she can try to get them as well, but also struggles)
Maraya: Can you go up a bit higher, please?
Ms. Carolyn: This is the highest I can go, Maraya. I'm not a fire truck's ladder, you know.
Maraya: I know, but still, go higher.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, I'll try.
(The camera is pointed at Ms. Carolyn's feet for a second when she goes on her tiptoes and then points back at Maraya trying again)
Maraya (not seen): Almost, there. (grunting)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, I can't hold this pose any longer. Have you gotten the bananas down yet?
Maraya: No, I still can't reach it. (starts getting wobbled) Whoa, whoa! Ms. Carolyn, you're wobbling and are about to make me fall.
Ms. Carolyn: Nonsense, I wouldn't do a such thing like that. (starts wobbling again) Whoa, whoa.
Both (yelling): Whoa! (they both fall down) Oof!
Ms. Carolyn: Well, that didn't work. 
Maraya: Uh-uh.
Ms. Carolyn: We need to think of a way to get the bananas down without hurting ourselves, and I have got the idea. (gets up) We can make a swing, to get to the bananas.
Maraya: But how are we going to make a swing here? We're stranded on a deserted island!
Ms. Carolyn: We'll just look for some materials to make it, like...(she sees a piece of wood) this piece of wood. We can use this piece of wood for the seat.
Maraya: Yeah, I get what you are saying. (picks up some long vines) And we can use these long vines for the chains.
Ms. Carolyn: Great looking, Maraya. (walks to an empty palm tree) And we can tie it onto this palm tree.
(Two rubber hoops come down so she can tie the swing to them)
Ms. Carolyn: There, the swing is finished. Come and get on the swing, Maraya, and I'll push you really high so you can reach the bananas.
Maraya: Okay.
(After she gets on the swing, Ms. Carolyn asks her if she was ready)
Ms. Carolyn: Ready?
Maraya: Yep.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, then, here we go. (with Maraya) 1, 2, 3, go!
(She pushes Maraya really high so she can reach for the bananas)
Maraya (laughing): This is fun! Whoo-hoo! (continues giggling)
(Ms. Carolyn stops pushing Maraya once she was pushed high enough)
Ms. Carolyn: All right, Maraya, you can try to reach the bananas now.
Maraya (not seen): Okay!
(She is then seen again when she tries reaching them for the first time)
Maraya: Oh, I missed it. Maybe I can try again.
(She tries again but misses it also on the second try)
Maraya: Oh, I missed it again. Well, this is my last chance. (grunting)
(She almost gets it but misses once again)
Maraya: I got it! No, I don't. (yelling) Whoa! Oof.
(She falls off the swing and lands on the ground)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, are you okay?
Maraya: Yeah, I'm fine. 
(Ms. Carolyn helps her up. When Maraya looks at her hand, she sees that she doesn't have the bunch of bananas in it)
Maraya: Oh, no. It didn't work. (sighs) We'll never get those bananas.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, don't give up, Maraya. If you want, we can try again, but I'll try to reach them this time.
Maraya: That's nice of you to do that, Ms. Carolyn, but once you try an idea and it doesn't work the first time, then you have to think of another one.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, well, that's all right because I already had a backup plan, anyway.
Maraya: Oh, what is it?
Ms. Carolyn: I'll show you. (clears throat) Ahem.
(She kneels down so she can show Maraya her backup plan, which was singing to get the bananas down)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Oh, bananas, please come down to me
Oh, please come down for Carolyn🎵
(She gets back up)
Maraya: I don't think singing would make the bananas come down, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Of course it would. Singing works for anything!
(She turns back to restart on her song again)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Oh, bananas, please come down to me
Oh, please come down for Carolyn
I have a family that's starving,
so, please, bananas, come down to me🎶
(Moment of silence)
Maraya: I don't think it worked, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, I should've not thought of singing to the palm tree. I guess we'll be standing here forever. (sighs)
Mr. Danny (not seen, singing): 🎵Oh, Carolyn, you figured it out
On how to get the bananas down
You have a family that's starving,
So, here, Carolyn, is your food🎶
(He pulls a bunch of bananas off the tree and throws it to Ms. Carolyn so she can catch it)
Ms. Carolyn: It worked! We got the food! Thank you, Mr. Palm Tree!
Mr. Danny (not seen): You're welcome.
(After she walks away, he comes out of the palm tree)
Mr. Danny: (snickering)
(The setting changes to the area where the family is still waiting until Maraya runs to them)
Maraya: Look, Ms. Carolyn's got the food!
Family: Hooray!
Ms. Carolyn: I got the food.
Lisa: Oh, it looks so delicious. Thank you, Maraya and Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: You're welcome.
(After the family gets a banana for themselves, Ryan hands the bunch back to her)
Ryan: Here, you and Maraya can have the rest.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, thank you so much! Come on, Maraya, let's eat.
(They both walk away with the bunch of bananas. The setting changes again to where Maraya and Ms. Carolyn are standing)
Ms. Carolyn: I think we deserve ourselves a little snack after all that walking to look for them.
Maraya: Yeah.
(They both peel their bananas and then start eating them)
Ms. Carolyn: Mmm, I love bananas. My favorite.
(She takes her second bite of her banana)
Ms. Carolyn: Mm-mm.
(After taking a third bite out of the banana, it changes to where Maraya is finished while Ms. Carolyn was nearly finished)
Maraya: Ah, that hit the spot.
Ms. Carolyn: Yeah, it did.
(She takes the final bite of her banana and then gets finished)
Ms. Carolyn: Those were the most delicious bananas I ever had.
Maraya: Yeah, I suppose they were, right?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes. Yummy, yummy, yummy. And now, let's find the family so we can help them fix their boat and go home.
(They both walk away to find the family)
Ms. Carolyn (as narrator): "After Maraya and Ms. Carolyn finished their yummy snack, they started to look for the family until they found them."
(Scene changes again to where they have found the family standing in a different area of the island)
Ryan: Oh, hey, you're back.
Lisa: Did you enjoy your snacks, Maraya and Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, we did, and now, we're ready to help you fix your boat.
Lisa: But our boat's broken. How are you going to fix it?
Ms. Carolyn: Well, we're not exactly going to fix your boat, but we'll make a new one.
Lisa: But how?
Maraya: We'll just use the materials that we find on the island, right, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, Maraya, that's right. (walks away with Maraya) We'll be right back.
(The scene changes once again to where they walk back to a different area to look for some materials)
Ms. Carolyn (as narrator): "And so, Maraya and Ms. Carolyn walked off to look for some materials for the new boat. Maraya found some logs while Ms. Carolyn found some long vines to tie them together. Once they were finished, they met up with each other."
Maraya: Oh, you found some vines, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: And you found some logs, Maraya. These are the perfect materials to use to build a brand-new boat. (walks away) Come on.
(Maraya follows Ms. Carolyn with the logs. It changes back to where the family is waiting)
Ryan: Oh, look, here they come.
Ms. Carolyn: Hello. We found some materials for the boat.
(She and Maraya put down the logs and vines on the ground)
Haley: Logs and vines? How are you going to build a new boat using only logs and vines?
Ms. Carolyn: We're going to use the vines to tie the logs together and make a raft. (kneels down) Maraya, hold the logs, please.
(While Maraya is holding all the logs together, Ms. Carolyn ties them with the first vine. Then they switch sides to do the same thing)
Ms. Carolyn: Now, hold the other side.
(Maraya holds the logs together again so she can tie them with the second vine)
Ms. Carolyn: Nearly there, and finished!
Family: Wow!
Haley: A raft!
Ryan: What a great idea, you two.
Lisa: Yeah. Maraya and Ms. Carolyn, you two are very resourceful.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you. (chuckling)
(Suddenly, they see Ryan walking with a bunch of bananas in his hands)
Ryan: We can take these bananas home to last us a lifetime.
Haley and Lisa: Yeah!
(He gets out the oar and starts paddling away from them)
Lisa: Bye, Maraya and Ms. Carolyn. Thank you so much for helping us get off the island.
Ms. Carolyn: You're welcome. Bye bye!
(After they left, they walk away from the water)
Ms. Carolyn: Well, I suppose it's just the two of us, Maraya.
Maraya: Yeah, but how are we going to get home?
Ms. Carolyn (as narrator): "Suddenly, something magical was happening as Maraya and Ms. Carolyn both heard it."
(Some magic sounds are heard)
Ms. Carolyn: Look, something magical is happening.
(The magic continues while Ms. Carolyn is still narrating)
Ms. Carolyn (as narrator): "The magic was continuing until all of a sudden, someone appeared, and the person who magically appeared was...Mr. Danny!"
Mr. Danny: Hello, you two. I'm here to take you home and off this island.
Ms. Carolyn: Great, but first, can I show you something?
Mr. Danny: Why, sure, honey. 
Ms. Carolyn: Okay! Just follow Maraya and me.
(They lead Mr. Danny to where the banana tree was located)
Ms. Carolyn: Here's what I wanted to show you, dear.
Mr. Danny: But, it's just a banana tree. What's so special about it?
Ms. Carolyn: You may not believe me when I tell you this, but while we were out of ideas on how we were going to get the bananas down, I just sang a special song to the banana tree and then, poof! The bananas came down. Watch.
(She starts to sing the same song she sang earlier to get the bananas down)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Oh, bananas, please come down to me
Oh, please come down for Carolyn
I have a family that's starving,
so, please, bananas, come down to me🎶
(Moment of silence)
Mr. Danny: Um, Carolyn, it didn't work.
Ms. Carolyn: That's strange. My song worked earlier when I sang it, so why didn't it work this time?
Mr. Danny: Perhaps because I was hiding behind the palm tree.
Ms. Carolyn: What? You were the one behind all this?
Mr. Danny: I'm afraid so.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh.
(Leaves rustle)
Mr. Danny: Did you hear that?
Maraya: I think so. (looks up and gasps) Look, I think they're about to fall off! (she is seen again) Go catch them, Ms. Carolyn!
Ms. Carolyn: Oh! (runs to the tree) I got it, I got it!
(She jumps and catches the bunch of bananas in her arms and then lands with her feet)
Ms. Carolyn: I got it!
Maraya: Yay, Ms. Carolyn.
Mr. Danny: I guess your song did work after all, honey.
Ms. Carolyn: It sure did, dear. Singing works for anything! (scene zooms out) Now, take us home.
Mr. Danny: I got it.
(He uses his magic to take themselves home as they disappear)
Ms. Carolyn (as narrator): "And so, the Adams family was safely taken back home, thanks to Maraya and Ms. Carolyn and they all lived happily ever after."
(The scene changes back to normal when Ms. Carolyn has finished reading the story to Maraya)
Ms. Carolyn (finishes reading): The end.
(She closes the book)
Maraya: Yay! That was a great story!
Ms. Carolyn: I agree. You have written a very good story, Maraya.
Maraya: Thank you. And you have drawn some really good pictures, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Aw, thank you, Maraya. Speaking of which, how about if we can print some more copies of the book for other people to read and enjoy?
Maraya: But how are we going to print more copies of the book? You don't have a printer and neither do I.
Ms. Carolyn: We may not have any printers, but I know a place that has one. 
Maraya: Oh, where's the place?
Ms. Carolyn: Meet me at the front of the school tomorrow at 2:30 so I can tell you where we're going to print the story. For now, you can put the book in your backpack until I call you to come to the front later.
Maraya: Okay.
(The scene zooms into her a little closer. The scene changes again to the next day where Maraya is showing the book to her two friends, Erin and Novalee)
Novalee: Wow, that is a great book you've written there, Maraya.
Erin: Yeah. It's the best story ever!
Maraya: Thanks, girls. Ms. Carolyn helped me write it.
Novalee: I hope you and Ms. Carolyn will be famous someday.
Erin: Yeah, and let me know when you do.
Maraya: I will for sure.
(The scene changes once again to where Maraya is typing in her business class a few hours later)
(Intercom beeps)
Announcer (over intercom): Ms. Frazier?
Ms. Frazier (not seen): Yes?
Announcer (over intercom): Can I have Maraya Adams to check out, please?
Ms. Frazier (not seen): Yes.
Announcer (over intercom): Thank you.
(Maraya stops what she was doing to put on her backpack and go)
Ms. Frazier: Bye, Maraya, see you tomorrow.
Maraya: Bye, Ms. Frazier!
(She walks out and shuts the door to go to the front of the school. It changes to where Maraya is looking around until she hears Ms. Carolyn call her name)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Maraya, over here!
(Maraya turns around just to find Ms. Carolyn waving at her as she walks up to where she is)
Ms. Carolyn: Are you ready to print some more copies of our book, Maraya?
Maraya: You bet I am!
Ms. Carolyn: Great, then let's go into the media center.
(They open the doors to enter inside the media center and look for one of the librarians)
Ms. Carolyn: Hello. Do you have a printer in your library somewhere? We want to print some copies of our book.
Ms. Bowie: Yes. It should be next to the row of computers behind us.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, thank you. (to Maraya) Come on, Maraya.
(They both walk away from Ms. Bowie to print some copies of the book)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, Maraya, do you still have the book?
Maraya: Yes, I do.
(She unzips her backpack to get the book out so she can hand it to Ms. Carolyn)
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, Maraya. Now let's get printing!
(The montage starts by Ms. Carolyn working the printer so she can print several copies of the book. Once she is done with it, she hands the books to Maraya so she can put them on the librarian's desk. She does this two more times. Then it points back at Ms. Carolyn handing more copies of the book to Maraya. Once Maraya has made two stacks of the book, the scene changes again to where they are getting out of the media center)
Ms. Carolyn: Phew, we did it, Maraya. Now we must get to the bus. Everyone is waiting for us.
(They both run away from the media center to go to the bus. Scene changes once again to where it is the next day)
(Fanfare)
(A mob of people is seen walking to the doors of the media center)
Novalee: I wonder why we're going to the media center at this time of day?
Maraya: I wonder, too, Novalee.
(The camera points at the doors of the media center and then zooms out. Meanwhile, Ms. Carolyn finds the crowd waiting)
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, hello, Maraya and Novalee. I see you're here outside waiting for the grand opening of our new book.
Novalee: Oh, yeah. Maraya showed me the book yesterday, didn't you, Maraya?
Maraya: Yep, and I'm sure everyone's going to love it.
(Fanfare)
(Door opens)
Ms. Bowie: Hello, and welcome to the grand opening of our newly published book. Before we let you all in, I just want to say thank you to two wonderful ladies who gave us an idea for the book. Maraya, Carolyn, would you like to tell the crowd?
Ms. Carolyn: Sure thing.
(They both walk up to Ms. Bowie so they can have a chance to speak)
Ms. Carolyn (over megaphone): I hope you all like our newly published book, boys and girls. Now, let the event begin!
(Fanfare)
(After the others go in, Maraya and Ms. Carolyn do the same thing. When they get in, they see everyone reading the book)
Ms. Carolyn: Wow, look at everyone reading the book. 
(The camera points at some students reading the book and then it points back at her and Maraya)
Ms. Carolyn: I think it's going to be a big hit, Maraya.
Maraya: I hope so.
(They continue watching the students look at the book. The scene changes to where Ms. Bowie is doing a discussion about the book)
Ms. Bowie: Thank you all for looking at the new book and now we're going to do a poll to see if it was a success or a fail. Raise your hand if you liked the book.
(A lot of people raise their hands while she writes down the results)
Ms. Bowie: Okay. Now raise your hand if you didn't like the book.
(A few people raise their hands as she does the same thing again)
Ms. Bowie: Okay, thank you all for voting. Now, I will announce you the results. 90% said that they liked the book and 10% said that they didn't like it, so the result for the poll is...
(Drumroll)
Ms. Bowie: A success!
(Crowd cheering)
Ms. Carolyn: Hooray! Our book's a success, Maraya!
(They give each other a high five)
Both: Yes!
Ms. Bowie: Maraya and Carolyn, congratulations on your very first book. Everyone liked it, and for this, here are your rewards.
Both: Wow!
Maraya: A trophy, and look, there's an open book on top of it.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, yeah. Maraya, you're right.
Ms. Bowie: Say "Go Vikings".
Both: Go Vikings!
(A shutter sound is heard as the scene turns into a photo on a newspaper located on a desk. The scene then fades out to a complete end)
