No Luck is Good Luck (transcript)

"No Luck is Good Luck" is the twenty-fourth episode of the series "My School Life".
==Description==
When Maraya finds a penny on the way to getting on the bus, Ms. Carolyn tells her that she's going to have good luck all afternoon. But once the 158M crew get on the road, they get stuck in a traffic jam, which causes the bad luck to start developing. The next day, Maraya throws the penny back on the sidewalk because it's causing her to have bad luck and it then causes Ms. Carolyn to have good luck. After Ms. Carolyn takes away the good luck that Maraya was supposed to have, she and Maraya's friends help her find ways to have good luck during the day.
==Transcript==
(The episode starts by taking place outside of the bus loading zone and it zooms into the double doors where Maraya comes out and starts skipping to her bus. On the way, she finds a penny)
Maraya: Wow!
(She picks up the penny)
Maraya (looks at camera): I found a penny, so that means that I'm going to have good luck all day. Now, let's get on the bus and show Ms. Carolyn what I found.
(She continues skipping down to her bus and when she gets on, Ms. Carolyn greets her)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya, welcome aboard.
Maraya: Hey, Ms. Carolyn, look what I found.
(She gets out the penny she found on the sidewalk and shows her)
Ms. Carolyn: Wow, you found a penny. That means that you're going to have good luck all afternoon.
Maraya: Yay!
(She runs to her seat and then Ms. Carolyn buckles up)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, students, let's go rock and roll.
Students (not seen): Whoo-hoo!
(She cranks up the bus and pushes the lever down so she can drive. The scene changes to where they get stuck in a traffic jam)
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, no, a traffic jam!
(Camera moves to where Maraya is sitting)
Maraya: Oh, no, I'm going to get home late! (sighs)
(The scene changes again to where they get to Maraya's house an hour and a half later)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, Maraya, we're finally at your house now.
Maraya: All right. Goodbye, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Bye bye! I'll see you tomorrow.
Maraya: Okay.
(She gets off the bus and walks to her house. The setting changes to the inside of her house)
Maraya: Mom, I'm home!
Lisa (not seen): I'm in the kitchen!
(She puts her backpack down and walks to the kitchen where her family is having dinner)
Lisa: So, how was school today?
Maraya: It was good, even though I was stuck in a long traffic jam.
Lisa (not seen): Good.
(Maraya grabs her fork and looks down at her food. She gets shocked and gasps)
Maraya (gasps): Oh, no, is this...stir fry?
Lisa (not seen): Yes.
Maraya: But, mom, I hate stir fry. (sighs) Maybe my day wasn't as great as I thought it would.
(She gets up from her chair and walks away)
Maraya: I'm going to bed, so good night.
(She walks away and the setting changes again to Maraya's bedroom)
Maraya: I don't know what's going on, but I'm sure it's bad luck. Maybe if I get a good night's sleep, then all my bad luck will go away. Yeah.
(The scene changes once again to where it is the next day)
(Alarm goes off)
Maraya (yawns): Well, here we are to start a brand-new day. Let's make some breakfast and hope that the bad luck went away overnight.
(Maraya gets up from her bed to go to the kitchen. It changes to where she gets to the kitchen)
Maraya: All I need is a bowl and we'll be all set to make our breakfast.
(She opens the pantry and finds out that she didn't have any cereal)
Maraya: Oh, no! I don't have any cereal.
(She closes the pantry and thinks about it)
Maraya: Well, if I don't have any cereal, then I can just make some toast, unless...
(The scene is zoomed in)
Maraya: It didn't include any cooking and I can't even cook. (sighs) I guess I'll have to go to school without breakfast.
(She walks back to her room to get dressed. Scene changes again to where she is outside waiting for the bus)
Maraya: The good night's sleep didn't work. My bad luck is still here. (sighs)
(Maraya's bus passes her house)
Maraya: At least Ms. Carolyn came on time. (gets up) I guess I'll have to get on the bus and go to school hungry.
(She walks slowly to her bus stop and waits for her to pick her up. When the bus stops, she gets on)
Ms. Carolyn: Good morning, Maraya.
Maraya: Good morning, Ms. Carolyn. I got to say that I'm thankful that you came on time for me.
Ms. Carolyn (chuckling): That's what bus drivers do. They follow a schedule and pick up all of the students at their assigned times.
Maraya: Oh.
Ms. Carolyn: No time for chitchat, Maraya. I got to drive this bus and pick up our students, so why not take a seat?
Maraya: Okay.
(The student doors close and then Ms. Carolyn drives away. Meanwhile, Maraya is hungry)
Maraya (in her own head): Oh, I'm so hungry because I skipped breakfast.
(Stomach growls)
Maraya (groaning): Oh...
(When Ms. Carolyn heard Maraya's stomach growl, she gets shocked)
Ms. Carolyn: Uh oh, stomach alert.
(She stops the bus and takes off her seatbelt so she can help Maraya)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, are you okay?
Maraya: No, I'm very hungry because I didn't have any cereal at home, so I had to skip breakfast.
Ms. Carolyn: Aw, that's bad, but I don't want you to go to school hungry.
Maraya: Me, either.
Ms. Carolyn: Here, have my energy bar.
Maraya: But I'm not supposed to eat on the bus, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: I know, but this will give you the energy you need to start your day, so please, take it.
Maraya: Okay.
(She takes the energy bar from Ms. Carolyn's hand and then Ms. Carolyn walks back to her seat to buckle her seatbelt and continue driving. The scene changes once again to where they get to school)
Maraya: Bye, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Bye, Maraya. Hope your day goes well.
Maraya: Thanks, Ms. Carolyn. Hope yours goes well, too.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you.
(She gets off the bus to go walk into the school. It changes to where it is later and Maraya peeks out of her hiding spot)
Maraya (sighs): This penny is useless. I don't think I need it anymore.
(She throws the penny on the sidewalk and then goes back to her hiding spot)
Ms. Carolyn: Ooh. (she picks it up) A penny. Now I'm going to have all the good luck I could ever have.
(She puts it in her pocket and walks away. Meanwhile, Maraya peeks out of her hiding spot again to become sad)
Maraya (gasps): (whispering) Oh, no! Now Ms. Carolyn is going to have all the good luck and not me. (sighs) I should've thought of not making it worse.
(She walks out of her hiding spot to get on Ms. Carolyn's bus. The setting changes to the inside of the bus, where Ms. Carolyn is looking at her penny until Maraya gets on)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya.
Maraya (sad): Hey, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Look what I just found on the sidewalk while I was taking my walk.
Maraya: (sighs)
Ms. Carolyn: What's wrong? Aren't you happy for me?
Maraya: No, because I threw the penny back where I found it and it was useless.
Ms. Carolyn: But that's what you're supposed to do when you find a penny on its bad side.
Maraya: Really?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Yes. (she is seen again) You see, Maraya, there are two sides of a penny: a good side and a bad side, and only one side of it has the good luck while the other has the bad.
Maraya: Wow, but can you tell me which side has the good luck, though?
Ms. Carolyn (chuckles): As soon as I finish explaining about the good and bad sides of this penny.
Maraya: Oh.
Ms. Carolyn: When you find a penny on its good side, you say this rhyme before picking it up, which goes like this: "Find a penny, pick it up. All day long, you'll have good luck."
Maraya: Oh. Now can you tell me which side of the penny has the good luck?
Ms. Carolyn: I wish I can, but I have to fill out this time sheet for my boss, so maybe later.
Maraya: Okay...
(She goes to her seat to wait for the other students. In the meantime, a school counselor gets on the bus to talk to Ms. Carolyn)
School counselor: Hi, are you Mrs. Griswell?
Ms. Carolyn: Why, yes, I am.
School counselor: You got a present from someone.
Ms. Carolyn: Wow, I wonder what it could be.
(She opens the present and sees that it is a doll)
Ms. Carolyn: Wow! It's another doll. I can add it to my doll collection. (scene zooms out) Thank you!
School counselor: You're welcome. Goodbye!
Ms. Carolyn: Bye bye!
(After the school counselor gets off the bus, Maraya gets more shocked)
Maraya (in her own head): Oh, no, Ms. Carolyn got a present. (not seen) And she also loves it, too. (sighs)
(She is seen again and also thinks out loud)
Maraya: I wish I could get some good luck, too, so I wouldn't be so sad like I am now. (sighs)
(Scene is zoomed in when Maraya gets an idea)
Maraya (gasps): I got an idea, but I'll have to wait until I get home to try it out.
(Scene changes to where Maraya is home outside)
Maraya: Perhaps, I can get a good luck charm, but since there are so many of them, I would need help deciding. (looks at camera) I'm going to call some of my friends to come over and help me choose a perfect good luck charm.
(She dials the first phone number and calls Carmen)
(Phone ringing)
Carmen: Hello?
Maraya (over phone): Hello, Carmen. Come over to my house, immediately.
Carmen: All right. Bye.
Maraya (over phone): Bye.
(Carmen puts down her phone and then Maraya dials the next number to call Novalee)
(Phone ringing)
Novalee: Hello?
Maraya: Hi, Novalee. Make sure to come over to my house immediately.
Novalee: Okey dokey. See you later, alligator.
Maraya: See you.
(Novalee hangs up and puts down the phone. Next, Maraya calls Ashley)
(Phone dialing)
Ashley (over phone): Hello?
Maraya: Hey, Ashley. Come over to my house immediately. We have a discussion to do.
Ashley (over phone): Okay, I'll be there. Bye.
Maraya: Bye.
(She pushes the hang up button and then dials the last number to call Ms. Carolyn)
Ms. Carolyn: Hello?
Maraya (over phone): Hey, Ms. Carolyn. Come over to my house immediately. We have to talk about something very important.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, I'm on my way.
Maraya (over phone): Thanks, Ms. Carolyn. Bye.
Ms. Carolyn: Bye bye!
(She hangs up and continues driving. The scene changes again to where Maraya is still outside, waiting for her friends to come)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Hi, Maraya.
(She turns around and sees that her friends are here)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn, Carmen, Ashley, Novalee, I'm so glad you can make it. Here, sit down next to me and we'll start our important discussion.
(As soon as they sit down, Maraya starts the discussion)
Maraya: You know how I've been having this bad luck after finding a penny on the sidewalk?
Everyone else (not seen): Yes...
Maraya: Well, because it was useless, I threw it back where I found it, and then, Ms. Carolyn found it and started to have all the good luck rather than me. So, does anyone have a good idea for how I can get the good luck?
(Everyone starts thinking until Ms. Carolyn gets an idea)
Ms. Carolyn: I heard that a horseshoe can bring you good luck.
Maraya: Good idea, but where am I going to find one?
Ms. Carolyn: I know. (gets up) Follow me.
(She follows Ms. Carolyn to go find a horseshoe. The scene changes once again to where they get to a barn)
Maraya: Why are we at a farm, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: To find a lucky horseshoe for you.
Maraya: I don't think it's going to be possible to find a lucky horseshoe at the farm, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: You'll never know what you're going to find unless if you look. Now, where's that horseshoe?
(Maraya watches her look for a horseshoe until she found one)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Ah, there it is.
(Maraya gets amazed by the size of the horseshoe)
Maraya (not seen): Wow, that's a big horseshoe, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Yep. And because it's so big, it might bring you a lot of good luck.
Maraya: Wow!
Ms. Carolyn: Here, you carry the horseshoe.
Maraya: Okay. (horseshoe causes Maraya to lean forward) Whoa! (grunting)
(It changes to where Carmen, Ashley, and Novalee are waiting for them to come back)
Ms. Carolyn: We're back, girls, and now Maraya has a horseshoe to bring her good luck.
Carmen, Ashley, and Novalee: Hooray!
Maraya (slowly): I, don't, think, I, can, carry, this, any, longer. (drops horseshoe and faints)
Ms. Carolyn: Are you okay, Maraya?
Maraya: Yes.
(Ms. Carolyn helps her get up)
Maraya: A horseshoe is too heavy to carry, but thanks for the suggestion, Ms. Carolyn. (she sits back down) Does anyone have a different idea to help me have good luck?
(Everyone thinks of another idea until Novalee gets one next)
Novalee: I got an idea. Maybe a four-leaf clover can help you bring good luck.
Maraya: But where am I going to find a four-leaf clover, Novalee?
Novalee: I know the perfect place where to find a four-leaf clover. (gets up) To my house!
(Maraya follows Novalee and the scene changes again to where they are outside of her house)
Novalee: Four-leaf clovers are usually seen in the grass, but they are very hard to find.
(They start looking for four-leaf clovers)
Novalee: Have you found any four-leaf clovers yet?
Maraya (sighs): No, Novalee, just three-leaf clovers and not four.
Novalee: Hmm, I guess there aren't any four-leaf clovers today. (gets up and sighs) Let's go.
(They walk back to Maraya's house where Ms. Carolyn is with Ashley and Carmen)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, you two. Found any four-leaf clovers?
Novalee: Unfortunately, no, because they are very hard to find.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, you got a point there, Novalee. They are very hard to find indeed.
Maraya: Thanks for your suggestion, Novalee, but apparently, they are too rare and hard to find. (sits back down with Novalee) Anyone else have another idea on how to get good luck?
Carmen: How about a rabbit's foot? I'm sure that will bring you good luck.
Maraya (thinking): Hmm...
(A bubble shows Maraya ripping a leg off a stuffed rabbit and then disappears)
Maraya: Oh...
Carmen: Maraya, I'm talking about a charm that you carry around, not the one you get from a stuffed rabbit.
Maraya: Oh, I get it now. By the way, where would you find a rabbit's foot?
Carmen: At a jewelry store, perhaps.
Maraya (standing up): Well, come on. Let's look for a rabbit's foot in the jewelry store.
Carmen (standing up): Okay, let's go.
(The scene changes once again to where they come in the jewelry store)
Carmen: I'm sure we'll find a rabbit's foot in here, Maraya. (to woman) Excuse me, but do you seem to have any rabbit's feet?
Jewelry seller: Rabbit's feet? Let me look.
(She looks for a rabbit's foot and then tells her that she don't have any)
Jewelry seller: Sorry, but I don't have any rabbit's feet here.
Carmen (sighs): Thanks for looking, though. We'll just go to a different jewelry store. Come on, Maraya.
(They walk out of the jewelry store to go home. It changes to where they get back home)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, girls, did you have any luck finding a rabbit's foot?
Carmen: No, we didn't.
Maraya (sighs): Thank you for your suggestion, Carmen, but a rabbit's foot is too gross just by thinking about it. (sits back down and sighs) I don't think I'm ever going to get any good luck back.
(Moment of silence)
Ashley: You know, Maraya, there's actually another way to get your good luck back.
Maraya: Really? How?
Ashley: On New Year's Day, people eat black eyed peas to get good luck for the year.
Maraya: Wow, but I don't like black eyed peas.
Ashley: Don't worry, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
Maraya: No, Ashley, I'm going to do it. (scene zooms in) If I want my good luck back, then I should try eating black eyed peas, whether I like it or not.
(Scene changes again to where Maraya is having dinner with her parents)
Lisa: Sweetie, are you sure you wanted hopping John's and collard greens tonight, cause I thought you don't like them.
Maraya: But, mom, I do dislike hopping John's and collard greens, it's just that I want my good luck back with a little bit of money.
Lisa (not seen): Oh, all right. (chuckles)
(Maraya starts to eat her dinner and then the scene changes once again to the next day)
Ashley: So, Maraya, how were the black eyed peas last night?
Maraya: They weren't that bad, but I still have all this bad luck. (sighs) Maybe it's just a silly New Year's tradition.
Ashley: So my suggestion was too silly?
Maraya: No, too traditional. (she turns to Ms. Carolyn) Ms. Carolyn, can I borrow one of your lucky pennies? I need it for my bad luck to go away.
Ms. Carolyn (chuckles): Maraya, you have to find one on the ground before you get good luck.
Maraya: Oh, but I'm not giving up.
(Ms. Carolyn is shocked)
Maraya: Come on, Ms. Carolyn, we have to go find a lucky penny so I can have good luck.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay. (gets up) We'll be back, girls, we're going to try to find a lucky penny for Maraya.
Carmen, Ashley, and Novalee: Bye, Maraya! Bye, Ms. Carolyn!
(It changes to where they get to the city)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, are you sure you want to try to look for a lucky penny? There might not be any on the ground today.
Maraya: But, Ms. Carolyn, you'll never know what you're going to find unless if you look.
Ms. Carolyn (chuckles): Yes, that is actually very true, Maraya. Oh, you're such a quick learner.
Maraya: (laughing)
(Scene changes again to where Ms. Carolyn has stopped looking)
Ms. Carolyn: I don't think we're going to ever find one today, Maraya, so now can we give up?
Maraya: No, we're not giving up.
Ms. Carolyn: But, Maraya, my legs are tired, and I'm sure yours are, too.
Maraya: Mine are not tired, Ms. Carolyn. Now, stop complaining or else.
(The camera points to a dollar that is on the ground)
Maraya (gasps): Look, Ms. Carolyn!
(She runs over to where the dollar was as she picks it up)
Maraya: A dollar!
(She unfolds it while Ms. Carolyn walks up to her)
Ms. Carolyn: It's not only a dollar, Maraya, it's a 50 dollar bill!
Maraya (gasps): A 50 dollar bill?! Wow! (she pauses herself from getting excited) But, Ms. Carolyn, what can I buy with a 50 dollar bill?
Ms. Carolyn: I know.
(Scene changes once again to where they are at the candy store)
Maraya: Candy, that's a great idea, Ms. Carolyn!
Ms. Carolyn (laughing): Yep. And also, we're bringing your friends back some candy.
Maraya: All right!
(When they got done, they brought their bags of candy to the cashier)
Cashier: That'll be $25.00, please.
(Maraya gives Ms. Carolyn her $50 bill so she can give it to the cashier)
Cashier: Thank you. Your change is $25.00.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you. You have a great day.
Cashier: You, too.
(The setting changes again to the outside of the candy store)
Ms. Carolyn: Isn't it great? You found a 50 dollar bill, got some candy, and you got $25 back. Now, that is lucky.
(They suddenly find another dollar bill on the ground)
Ms. Carolyn (gasps): Look, Maraya, a $100 bill!
Maraya: A $100 bill? Wow! (she gets shocked) But, Ms. Carolyn, you found it, so it's yours.
Ms. Carolyn (laughing): No, Maraya, this isn't for me, it's for you.
Maraya: Wow, thanks, Ms. Carolyn. Now we both have the good luck together. So, what should we spend it on next?
Ms. Carolyn: I don't know. Maybe we should go to your house and think about it.
Maraya: Okay.
(Ms. Carolyn grabs Maraya's hand and takes her home. It changes to where Carmen, Ashley, and Novalee are at)
Carmen: Maraya and Ms. Carolyn are taking such a long time to find pennies in the city.
Novalee: Oh, I hope they are okay.
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Hi, girls, we're back!
Carmen, Ashley, and Novalee: Ms. Carolyn!
(They get up and run to her so they can give her a hug)
Novalee: I'm glad you're okay.
Carmen: So, did you two ever find any pennies?
Ms. Carolyn: No, but we found this. It's a $100 bill.
Carmen, Ashley, and Novalee: Wow!
Carmen: It's amazing!
Ashley: So, Ms. Carolyn, what are we going to spend it on?
Ms. Carolyn: I don't know, we're still thinking about it.
(Maraya gets an idea)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn, I have an idea. Can we spend it on a special dinner?
Ms. Carolyn: That's a very great idea, Maraya.
Maraya (yelling out): Mom!
(Lisa comes out of the house)
Maraya: Can we go out to dinner?
Lisa: Sure. Where do you want to go?
Maraya (thinking): How about the Golden Yellow Corral?
Lisa: Okay, we can go there. Just let me get your dad and sister.
(She goes back inside to get Maraya's dad and sister)
Ms. Carolyn: Isn't this great? We're all going out for dinner with your family.
Maraya: Yeah, I guess that is great.
(Door shuts)
Lisa: Okay, sweetie, your dad and sister are here, so now, let's go.
Maraya: Okay!
Ms. Carolyn: We'll see you there, Maraya.
Maraya: All right, bye, Ms. Carolyn.
(Ms. Carolyn and Maraya's friends leave)
Lisa: We better get going, too, sweetie. We wouldn't want to keep Ms. Carolyn and your friends waiting.
(Scene changes again to where they get to the Golden Yellow Corral)
Lisa (not seen): Here we are, everyone. Let's get out of the car.
(As soon as they get out of the car, Ms. Carolyn and her friends run to Maraya)
Ms. Carolyn: Ah, there you are. Now, let's get us a table in the dining area.
(The setting changes to the inside of the restaurant, where they got their trays and drinks)
Woman #1: Hello, welcome to the Golden Yellow Corral. What drinks can I get for you today?
Lisa: Two sweet teas and six sodas, please.
Woman #1: Okay, coming right up.
(As soon as she finishes getting their drinks, she puts them on the trays)
Woman #1: Here you go, have a great day.
(They all walk to the cashier)
Lisa: Hello, one senior, three adults, and four children, please.
(The cashier presses a button that causes the receipt to print out)
Cashier #2: Here you go.
Lisa: Thank you. (to others) Come on, let's find a table in the dining area.
(Setting changes again to the dining area)
Lisa: How is this table, y'all?
Ms. Carolyn: That's perfect.
(Haley and Ryan get a smaller table for two more)
Haley: And here's a table for two more, Lisa.
(They put down the smaller table next to the bigger table)
Lisa: Thank you, you two. Now, let's get our food.
(Scene changes once again to where they are sitting back at the table with their food)
Ms. Carolyn: Thanks to you finding that $100 bill on the ground, Maraya, we wouldn't have enough to pay all of us here.
Maraya: Aw, it was nothing.
Ms. Carolyn: By the way, let's eat.
Maraya: Yeah.
(It changes to where they are done)
Ms. Carolyn: Ah, that was good. Now, who's up for seconds?
Everyone else: Me!
Ms. Carolyn (laughing): Very well. (gets up) Let's go.
(Scene changes again to where they get back to their table)
Ms. Carolyn: Are we all set?
Maraya (not seen): Yes, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, then. Let's eat again. (chuckles)
(A clock appears in the middle of the screen and then the scene changes once again to where they get to dessert)
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, boy, dessert. Doesn't this look good, Maraya?
Maraya: Yes, Ms. Carolyn. It looks very good indeed. (laughs)
(It changes again to where they are back home at Maraya's house)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, girls, guess what?
4 girls: What?
Ms. Carolyn: I got a surprise for you. (gets out four bags of candy) Bags of candy from the candy store.
4 girls (not seen): Candy, yay!
(They take their bags of candy and open them up so they can eat it)
Carmen: Peanut butter cups, my favorite.
Novalee: Yay, gummy worms!
Ashley: This is pretty good candy, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Me and Maraya chose it together at the candy store, didn't we, Maraya?
Maraya: We sure did, Ms. Carolyn. (laughing)
(The scene changes again to the next day where she is at school)
Maraya: Hi, Carmen.
Carmen: Hey, Maraya.
Maraya: You know what?
Carmen: What?
Maraya: Good luck charms are nice, but you don't need them all the time. You just need them for the important things.
Carmen: What a great lesson, Maraya. Where'd you learn it from?
Maraya: From Ms. Carolyn. She says that everyone can have good luck sometimes without a good luck charm, it just depends what day it is.
Carmen: You're right, Maraya.
Maraya: And someday, I will be able to get good luck like Ms. Carolyn.
Carmen: Oh, Maraya. (chuckles)
(The camera goes up and the scene changes once again to where Maraya is skipping outside of the bus loading zone. Suddenly, she stops and finds a penny on the sidewalk)
Maraya: Huh? What's this?
(The scene zooms into the penny that is on the sidewalk)
Maraya: Why, it's a penny, of course, and also, it's on its good side, so that means that I have to recite this rhyme. (clears throat) Ahem. "Find a penny, pick it up. All day long, you'll have good luck."
(After she looks at the camera, she tells the viewers something)
Maraya: I better go show Ms. Carolyn what I found on the sidewalk for her.
(She skips to her bus to get on)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya, how was your day today?
Maraya: Great, and look what I found for you on the sidewalk today.
(She shows Ms. Carolyn the penny)
Ms. Carolyn: Wow, a penny. Now you're really going to get some good luck from that.
Maraya: It's not for me, Ms. Carolyn, it's for you.
(She gives her the penny so she can look at it)
Ms. Carolyn: It's quite nice, but you should have it. Finders keepers.
Maraya: You know it's okay to have a good luck charm sometimes, but just not all the time, so here, I declare to give you this lucky penny I found for you because I really care.
(She takes the penny from Maraya's hand and gets out a bag of her candy)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, then I'll trade you this penny for a bag of my leftover candy.
Maraya: Thank you, Ms. Carolyn!
(They hug each other while in the meantime, Maraya's friends get on)
Carmen, Ashley, and Novalee: Aw...
(They stop hugging each other so Maraya can get in her seat)
Carmen: So, you have your good luck back?
Maraya: Yep. And now, I just learned that I have the most special good luck charm of all: Ms. Carolyn.
Carmen: Aw, that's nice.
Novalee: Three cheers for Maraya. Hip, hip...
Carmen, Ashley, and Ms. Carolyn: Hooray!
Novalee: Hip, hip...
Carmen, Ashley, and Ms. Carolyn: Hooray!
Novalee: Hip, hip...
Carmen, Ashley, and Ms. Carolyn: Hooray!
(All laughing)
Maraya: Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate it.
Ashley: No problem.
Novalee: And we love you, too.
Carmen: Yes, we love you, just the way you are, whether you have good luck or not.
Ms. Carolyn: I agree with Carmen. We're all your friends, and even if you don't have any good luck, we will still love you.
Maraya: Yay!
(All of them start to laugh and then the scene fades out to an end)
