SCRIPT:
Narrator: About a thousand years ago there was in China a deaf Emperor, who couldn`t hear
the birds sing, so he decided to get rid of all of the birds who didnt have beautiful feathers.
One day his daughter Mita was in the garden and was happy to hear a nightingale singing in
the treetop.
Mita: My dear friend, you have to go, or you will die.
Nightingale: It doesnt matter. Nights are cold and I will not survive for a long time.
Mita: I know what! I will take you to my room and I will take care of you while I listen to your
beautiful songs.
Narrator: And she did, but one day the Emperor entered his daughters room and saw the
bird.
Emperor: What is this bird doing here!
Mita: Escape! Save your life!
Narrator: The bird flew away.
Mita: Father why?
Narrator: But the emperor couldnt hear her. Unfortunately, Mita got sick beause she missed
the bird and the Emperor called the doctor.

Doctor: Theres nothing I can do for her I am so sorry.

Emperor: You have to do something!
Doctor: I am afraid not.
Emperor: Then, tell me if I can get cured.
Doctor: Yes, you can. You should put in your ear the warm heart of a nightingale.
Emperor: Guard! Come here immediately!
Guard: Yes, Emperor.
Emperor: Bring me the heart of a nightingale.
Guard: At once.
Narrator: Before the guard could leave the room, a nightingale flew into the room.
Nightingale: Take my life. I am sure that your daughter will be happy if you can hear again.
Narrator: Then the Emperor started to cry.
Emperor: No way. I prefer to be deaf, than harm you.
Narrator: The nightingale kept living in the castle and Mitas health got better every day.
Mita: Oh, kind nightingale, you are so beautiful, not only because of your feathers and your
songs, but for your kind heart that saved my life, and that must keep beating for many years.
