Alex: As she sat in the cozy armchair by the fireplace, the girl flipped through the pages of her favorite novel, lost in the world of the characters
and their adventures. The light from the fire danced across her face, illuminating the intense expression of concentration as she absorbed every
word on the page. She is reading a novel called Dana Quixote where the main character is a grandmother who is explaining to her grandchildren
the story of Don Quijote de La Mancha. *background music while narrating fade in/out (after narrating) *Daig Kayo ng Lola ko theme song fade

Lamuel: Yes, Grandma, we surely played and enjoyed the sun a while ago.
Anescka: That’s why we do smell bad!
Daniel: Grandma! Grandma! Why don’t you tell us a story
Christine: That must be a good idea after we played, we get to hear the stories of Lola!
Haniel: Lola! I can suggest a story which is the Don Quijote de La Mancha by Miguel Cervantes.
Cyra: Wait a minute! "Oh my, you're all so makulit!" she exclaimed, teasing them affectionately.
Alex: The children giggled and grinned, each eager to hear the story that their beloved grandmother had promised to tell them.
As she spoke, the children listened with rapt attention, their imaginations running wild with visions of themselves as the heroes of the tale.

Cyra: So now, let me tell you a story (All this page is read only by Cyra) *background music for narration
Long ago, in a small village in Spain, there lived a man named Alonso Quixano. He was a gentle and kind-hearted man who spent most of
his days reading books about knights and chivalry. As he grew older, he became more and more obsessed with these stories, until they
filled his mind day and night.
One day, Alonso made a decision that would change his life forever. He declared himself a knight, and took up the name Don Quijote de
la Mancha. He donned a suit of armor, took up a sword, and set out on a quest to right wrongs and defend the honor of the innocent.
Don Quijote's adventures were many and varied. He fought with windmills, mistaking them for giants. He charged into enchanted castles,
believing he was rescuing fair maidens. And he even mistook a group of harmless sheep for a mighty army!
He even chosen Dulcinea El Taboso to become the newly dubbed knight’s women ideal.
But even as he faced these and many other hardships, Don Quijote remained true to his ideals. He believed in the power of chivalry and
honor, and he was always willing to stand up for what was right.
Don Quijote's loyal squire, Sancho Panza, accompanied him on his adventures. Sancho was a simple man, but he was devoted to Don
Quijote and his cause. He helped his master through many trials and tribulations, and he always provided a voice of reason when Don
Quijote's imagination got the better of him.
Despite his good intentions, Don Quijote's delusions grew more and more pronounced as time went on. He became convinced that he was
living in a world of knights and castles, where honor and justice were the only things that mattered.
Eventually, Don Quijote's friends and family became worried about him. They saw that his mind had become consumed by his obsession
with chivalry, and they feared for his sanity. They set out to bring him back to reality, hoping to break him free from his delusions once
and for all.
Don Quijote's return to reality was a difficult and painful process. He had to confront the fact that his quest had been a delusion, a product
of his own imagination. But even so, his spirit remained unbroken, and he continued to inspire others with his bravery and idealism.
And so, my dear grandchildren, that is the story of Don Quijote de la Mancha. He was a brave and noble knight who lived and fought
with all his heart, even in the face of impossible odds. His legacy lives on today, inspiring generations of readers to believe in the power of
honor and justice.
Lamuel: That was a really, really great story, grandma!
Anescka: Indeed! What makes Don Quixote such a fascinating character is his ability to see the world in a different way. He is a dreamer, with a
vivid imagination that allows him to envision a world of chivalry and romance, even in the midst of a bleak and harsh reality. His idealism and his
desire to make the world a better place are admirable traits, and they inspire others to believe in the power of dreams.
Daniel: At the same time, Don Quixote's story also serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of living in a fantasy world. His delusions lead
him down a path of self-destruction, and his actions often have unintended consequences. His inability to distinguish between reality and fantasy
ultimately leads to his downfall, and he dies alone and disillusioned.
*Someone knocks the door:
Yung mga children aalis na yung technical, ilalagay na yung bag ulit
Sfx music muna ulit
Krizziah (daughter of Grandma): (sobbing) Mama! Why are you talking to their bags! Stop it already, we cannot bring them back again!
Sorrow music fades in, fade out
The End.
Alex: In many ways, Don Quixote's story is a reflection of the human condition. We all have dreams and aspirations, and we all want to make the
world a better place. But at the same time, we must also be grounded in reality and be mindful of the consequences of our actions. Don Quixote's
story reminds us of the importance of balance and the need to stay connected to the world around us, even as we strive to achieve our dreams.
Overall, Don Quixote is a timeless literary character whose story continues to resonate with readers today. He reminds us of the power of
imagination and the importance of striving for a better world, while also warning us of the dangers of losing touch with reality.
