EMMA: Do you have any lions?
AHUNI: Lions?!
POPPY: Or switches?
JAY: Or warm robes?
DAISY: I'm afraid we don't have any game currency. We just started
playing.
AHUNI: I'm sorry to hear that. Well, my name's Ahuni. I run the oldest
store in this market. And who are you?
DAISY: I'm Daisy, this is Emma, Poppy, and Jay. (they wave)
(Herald enters and moves to center stage. Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego enter too and linger together around the market.)
AHUNI: Nice to meet you all. Listen, when you do have some currency
to spend, come see me. (to the side) These other market vendors
… they take advantage of first-time gamers.
(Herald opens a scroll and loudly reads a proclamation. As he
reads, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego enter, hands bound, led
by two of the king's helpers. They walk toward center stage. The
guards back away.)
HERALD: A decree from King Nebuchadnezzar … "Nations and peoples
of every language, this is what you are commanded to do: As
soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp,
pipe and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship
the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be
thrown into a blazing furnace." (Daniel 3:4-6)
DAISY: Ahuni, who are those men and why are they all tied up?
AHUNI: These men are Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and they
are tied up because of the king's command you just heard.
They are Hebrews … worshippers of Jehovah, the one true
God, and they refuse to worship the king as god!
