Skit 5: Peace
Part of a series about skits produced for the Ramavaram children.
Skit 5: Peace
Narrator: Arjun and Sita are brother and sister. They argue a lot and have a hard time resolving any dispute in a peaceful manner. Here they are in the midst of another argument.
Arjun: No, it’s my tennis racquet. Dad bought it for me on my birthday. I don’t want you to touching it.
Sita: I don’t see your name on it. Besides, I just want to hit a few balls.
Arjun: No!! You always want everything that I have. I am not going to let you play with my racquet. No way!
Gopal (Dad): Both of you, stop arguing. This is ridiculous behavior. Sita, you cannot play with everything that your brother has. And Arjun you must learn to share at least some of your belongings with Sita. She is your younger sister. You have to be more responsible and more mature. Now both of you go to your rooms!
Narrator: Sita goes to her room which she shares with her older sister Radha and talks to her about her fight with Arjun. Arjun, still feeling rebellious and angry, sneaks outside.
Sita: Can you believe Arjun, Radha? He would not even let me touch his tennis racquet. He’s so mean sometimes.
Radha: Sita, you know that it is not only his fault. Sometimes you bother Arjun when he is by himself. You want everything that he has. Sometimes you provoke him into these huge fights.
Sita: Yeah, I guess.
Radha: You have to learn to leave Arjun alone sometimes. I don’t think you like fighting with him all the time do you? He is your brother; both of you should be friends. Try to find some hobbies of your own. That way you won’t always ask to play with Arjun or with his things. So, what will you do next time you want to use something of Arjun’s?
Sita: I’ll ask politely, and if he says no, then I will not argue with him about it.
Radha: Good. That’s sounds much better.
Narrator: Meanwhile, Arjun is walking outside and he notices several different people fighting.
Boy 1: You always get the first sip of the soda!!
Boy 2: That’s cause I’m the older brother.
Boy 1: Give it to me; I want it!
Boy 2: No it’s mine.
(The boys pull of the bottle of soda and finally the bottle falls on the ground and it breaks leaving no soda of either)
Shop Customer: Useless fellow! I got two kg of eggplant but you charged me for 4 kg.
Shop Owner: It is not my fault sir; You told me that you got four kgs of eggplant.
Shop Customer: You think I am a liar? I know what I said.
Shop Owner: I know what you said too. Why would I lie!?!
Shop Customer: You wanted to cheat me; that’s why.
Arjun: Wow. I can’t believe people can argue about such petty things.
Narrator: Arjun was surprised by how violently the people had treated each other. He did not want to treat his sister like that.
(At Home)
Sita: Arjun, can I please play with your racquet, if you are not using it?
Arjun: Of course, Sita. Here, I will teach you some techniques that I learned.
Narrator: Arjun and Sita go off and play happily. From then on, they both tried to think of peaceful solutions to any disputes that they had.
