very happy. Okay, what does it say here? I Do not believe it…
Kathrin: What are you reading?
Marietta: Many children have no food to eat, starve to death, drink dirty
water... If possible!
Council Coordinator “Athena”: Good evening, My name is Athena, president
of the Children's Rights committee. Today, the specific council is held in
the City Hall of our city for a sacred purpose. So we welcome our official
guests, Mr. Skourz, the mayor of our city and his wife Georgia, the mayor's
advisor Mr. Vasia and the journalists of the school newspapers: Irianna and
Chrysanthi from the school newspaper "Children's rights", Platona, from
the school newspaper: "Children: The future of the world", Petros, from
the school newspaper "The Game" and Andreas from the school newspaper:
"Beautiful World". Official guests of our council are ten children: Sialom
and Akif, 13 years old, representatives of the Arab countries, Andriana and
Mara, 15 years olf, representatives of Greece and Cyprus, Chao-La and
Asmira, 14 years old, representatives of China, Vietnam, India and Pakistan,
Jesira and Nasa, 12 years old, from Nigeria representing the third
countries and finally, Adrian and Victoria representing the rest of the
European countries, 13 years old. Welcome the children's representatives
with a loud round of applause. For the first time, children are taking their
rights into their own hands! Journalists attending the room can pose
questions both to Mr. Scrutz, the mayor of our city, and to the delegates.
Reporter: Irianna: We will ask the mayor, what he will do is another story.
Reporter: Platon: Mr. Scroutz has no children. Maybe we can change his
decisions and remind him that he was once a child too.
Reporter: Peter: There have been many injustices in the world, many
tragedies at the expense of children, we can't take it anymore. We took
responsibility into our own hands. Since the former children and teenagers
are not interested in us being children, children have decided to be
interested in children.
Reporter 4: Andreas: Colleagues, do you think that the representatives
will cope with an adult, and even with the mayor of the city?

4. 4
Reporter: Chrysanthi: Well... I don’t think so!
Reporter: Platon: Anyway, I say let's wait and see what happens and then
draw conclusions.
Reporter Irianna: That’s right
Reporter: Peter: I see Mr. Scrooge walk up to the podium. Look, look...
What pride! He thinks we called him to tell his achievements. Projects...
Projects...
Reporter Andreas: What kind of projects?
Reporter Peter: He wants to tear down the playground and build a "Mall".
Department stores!
Reporter: Andreas: What? I don’t believe that, but we don’t have another
place for playing
Reporter Irianna: He doesn’t care about it. He wants to make the rich
richer and the children poorer.
Reporter: Chrysanthi: Child means game and game means child.
Reporter: Platon: Hmm! Look at him, look at him, he keeps fixing his tie.
Hmm! Here is his wife, everywhere she makes her appearance. Everything
she had and didn't have, she put it on her!
Reporter Irianna: This is what she always does in her official outings. Fluff
and perfumes, but meaning? Carrot!
Reporter Platon: shhh... let's hear
Second scene
Mrs Scroutz: My dear children, Look at them, how cute they are. And
when you know what I'm preparing for you, you'll jump from joy. I will…

5. 5
Reporters and children: No, THE SPEECH TO CHILDREN.
Jessira: Mr. Scroutz, we invited you here to listen to us and not you.
Please take your seat with madam, madam…
Georgia, Mayor’s wife: Mayor, please, so unbelievable that he doesn't
know who I am? Rude child!
Reporter Irianna: What she said; I was mayor, ah, well, I understood,
it's a question of having finished the first grade.
Reporter Platon: Who knows what happened to her when she was a child…
Reporter Peter: And the mayor is not different. I have heard that when
he was a child he worked to help his family. He just finished elementary
school!
Reporter Andreas: and how did he become mayor of the city?
Reporter Irianna: You are out of your mind, bro! He sold his conscience
to serve money. He forgot who he was, he forgot the violation of his rights
as a child. He serves money and that gives him glory. It’s enough, Today
children will speak, today adults will be silent and listen to children.
Andrianna: Please, be quiet. Dear Delegates… Today, we have gathered
here to demand a public apology from Mr. Scroutz, a former child and
teenager, for all our rights, as children, being violated…
Nasa: Mr Scroutz represents all the former children and teenagers
Adrean: We will not show any understanding in this matter and I must say
that we will be very strict!
Jessira: We ask Mr. Scrooge to tell the whole truth and only the truth…

6. 6
Mrs Georgia: Which truth, well, that's another thing. What are these; Are
we in court and haven’t understood it?
Mr. Scroutz: I promise, in front of all children of the world, that I will
tell the whole truth, both this that benefits the world I represent and this
that does not...
Mrs Georgia: Scroutz, be careful what you say. What are you promising?
You promised me a cottage by the sea. Do you remember that;
Mr Scroutz: I know, my dear, don't worry. This is how we always do in
councils, we say one thing and do another. Don’t worry. You will have the
summer house, as long as you tell the children to build the Mall instead of
the playground.
Asmira: Mr. Scroutz, comments are not allowed.
Mrs Georgia: Here, here, hands were raised to clap the head.
Andrianna: Sit down,please, Mr. Mayor. As moderator of the discussion, I
would ask colleagues Jessira and Nasa to ask the questions they have for
Mr. Scroutz.
Adrean: Jesira and Nasa, are 12 years old and arrived from faraway
Nigeria, as representatives of all Third World countries.
Jessira: Thank you, Adrean. Well, Mrs Scroutz ,I have a question of
judgement for you!
Mrs Scroutz: I just hope it's not difficult!
Mrs Scroutz’ counselor: Vasia: Don't be afraid, I'm by your side.
Mrs Georgia: Oh, what happened to us! Forget about our cottage, my fur...
Jessira: Please! We said... no comments!

7. 7
Nasa: Mrs Scroutz, do you know anything about the situation in Third
World countries?
Scroutz: Counselor, what situation are they talking about?
Mayor’s councelor: Calm down, mayor. You say, of course, of course, there
is no man in this world who is not aware of this situation.
Mr Scroutz: Of course! Of course! There isn't a person in this world who
is not aware…....
Councelor Vasia: Like a parrot, I forgot to bring him some seeds, to feed
him
Jessira: Nice! But you didn't tell us what this situation is...
Mayor’s councelor: Do you Remember when we watched a documentary
about Third World countries?
Scroutz: I fell asleep because my wife took me from one store to another
shopping, she is never happy. Right my dear?
Mrs Georgia: Hmm! It’s my fault again?
Mayor’s councelor: Vasia: say that you saw it, and, I'll tell you…
Mr. Scroutz: Oh, yes, now I remember. The day before yesterday I
watched a documentary about Third Countries.
Mrs Georgia: Phew! We had a narrow escape!
Jessira: And?

8. 8
Mayor’s councelor: Very poor countries, people are starving, people are
dying, children are skeletal, sick, diseases are becoming more and more
numerous, there are no schools...
Mr Scroutz: Oh yes! I remembered! Very poor countries, people are
starving, people are dying, children are skeletal, sick, diseases are
becoming more and more numerous, there are no schools. That’s no big deal,
I also only went to primary school. Nothing happened to me. I even became
mayor
Mayor’s councelor Vasia: Hey, it's a shame we found him. That's what
I was saying, we will be in trouble with his being a mayor..
Mrs Georgia: Don’t say that, don’t say that. Pretend that you are upset.
Nasa: Indeed! But the question is whether there is anyone in the whole
earth who does something for these countries!
Scroutz: Someone; My darling, how do they call it, the one who collects
money for the poor children, you know...
Mrs Georgia: Oh, yes, yes, I remember it. I found it, I found it, wait,
Eurovision!
Mr Scroutz: What are you talking about! Maybe is "The next top model"
The kids who made fun of you, were right,
Mayor’s councelor: Do you think you're better? UNICEF, the international
organization
Mr Scroutz: Oh yes, I remembered that. But I think, my dear children,
that the international organization of UNICEF deals with these countries.
Jessira: so, you don’t have any responsibility?

9. 9
Adrianna: Jesira and Nasa, sorry to interrupt, but all the former children
and teenagers who have had amnesia, have grown up in comfort.
Mara: but even if they didn't grow up with comforts when they grow up
they get amnesia.
Mr Scroutz: I don't know what it means to sleep fasting, to go to work
when you should be going to school, to come home to a frozen house with
an empty refrigerator, Me?
Mayor’s councelor: Now, she will cry…... what happened to us. Mayor,
councilor, do what you are entitled to do!. You shouldn't say that. You have
to show that you come from a rich family. Stand up!
Nasa: As colleague Andriana also said, Mr. Scroutz, you generally don't
care about these countries as there are others to worry about, and you
sleep well at night. Watch, please on the screen, maybe you change attitude
about this problem
Mr Scroutz: Sorry guys, you're right. I had erased from my memory my
childhood, to adapt to the world of adults to become successful, rich, and
powerful , violating my values. But, happy childhood means a happy adult.
Neither am I, unfortunately. Now I got it.
Reporter Irianna: Ah! Maslow, Maslow, how right you were. Few people
finally reach self-actualization. Children without love, learning… becoming
adults with amnesia…!
Mrs Georgia: self-actualization? What is this; I'll look it up in the
dictionary. I wonder if they are cursing my mayor
Mr Scroutz: Slow down my dear! It is all wrong! Mayor now! After all, what
would you like from me and everyone I represent?

10. 10
Jessira: We want you to send proper people to these countries to work as
teams, to help the inhabitants to change the state of the countries not for
a while, not for a long time, but forever, forever
Mr Scroutz: What do you mean? What you are asking sounds very difficult
to me!
Nasa: When there is a will, nothing is difficult! Dear Adriana, tell us about
some proper people!
Mayor’s councelor: Mayor, if you agree, forget the cottage, forget the
luxury, forget your office. I warn you! It seems to me that he will soon
send me to Africa too. God forbid that he says that among the proper ones
are also the advisors! Please my god!
Mrs Georgia: Shut up, you too at last. I was moved by the bad boys but
they are right. This can't go on. All children should go to school, play, have
food. If I told them my personal experiences they would understand. All I
have today to pretend to be successful are jewels, furs and country
houses...Nothing else. Me too guys, me too with you.
Mayor’s councelor: Hey, what trouble did we find?
Adrianna: Well, Proper people are: Group 1: doctors, nurses, psychologists,
and pharmacists. Group 2: Teachers. Group 3rd: Consultants in hygiene
matters. Group 4th: Cooks. Group 5th: Builders. Group 6th: Rich people who
will give money to be able to buy food, materials to build houses, hospitals,
schools, etc. And volunteers, lots of volunteers.
Mr Scroutz: But don't you think you're asking a lot of people?
Mara: Only in this way will a state move forward, when the right people
enter it.

11. 11
Mr Scroutz: I will carry your request to all the former children and
teenagers who rule this planet, and I am sure that the ones who will protest
the most will be the rich!
Mayor’s councelor: Don't be afraid, and you will be doing them a favor, so
they won't pay taxes.
Adrianna: Next are Chao-La and Asmira, representing China, Vietnam,
India and Pakistan. Chao-La is 14 years old and has never seen her home
country, Vietnam, because her parents immigrated to Cyprus to find a
better life. Asmira is from India and is 14 years old. She managed to escape
from India, because her father wanted to marry her off to a rich 40 year-
old man. As you don't know, girls from poor families become products in the
hands of the rich. Asmira wants to study, become a doctor, help the world.
Mr Scroutz: But, Chao-La, I knew that in these countries you represent,
everything is fine.
Chao-La: I apologize, Mr. Scroutz, if I disappoint you, but I think you
should also learn a little about the Eastern countries of this planet. Mr.
Scrooge, have you noticed around you lately that there are quite a number
of schismatic and other brown people working in the fields, or as domestic
servants, or as cleaners, or as servants to the big bosses?
Mrs Georgia: We also have a girl from China as a domestic helper in our
house.
Mr Scroutz: Every person has the right to ask work in any country they
want and of course, any work is not shameful!
Chao-La: But, didn't you think that they do it because their countries are
very poor? Certainly work is not shameful, but when you work you must do
it because it pleases you and not because you cannot do otherwise.
Mr Scroutz: Why don't they go to study?

12. 12
Chao-La: The percentage from these countries that manages to study
is very small
Mr Scroutz: Why are they not engaged in cultivating the land? Or, in
trade?
Chao-La: Unfortunately, there is not much land available for cultivation
and, their crops are not enough to meet their needs, moreover they
cultivate their land with primitive means.
Mr Scroutz: They have to think of something themselves to solve their
problems and so that their children don't go hungry!.
Chao-La: you mean, The former children and teenagers ! They are the
ones who decide the destinies of the whole world. Isn't that horrible, Mr.
Scroutz?
Mr Scroutz: You are right my child, you have the right to have a country,
to have friends, to go to school! And, Asmira, did your father really want
to marry you off to an adult?
Asmira: Yes, he agreed on the price of 8,000 rupees, which is 120 euros.
Mr Scroutz: What do you mean? I can't stand what I'm hearing anymore
Asmira: The adult groom offered my father 120 euros. I have no right to
say no, to live like a child.
Mayor’s councelor: What; How is that possible; What era are we living in?
Oh, now I will get pissed!! This is not possible!
Asmira: I want to live like a child, to play, to have friends, to get an
education and when I grow up I will fight for human rights. I want equality,
freedom and justice. I want to enjoy my rights
Mr Scroutz: The only thingl I can say to you, my child, is a big "Sorry" for
the world that we ex-kids and teenagers carry on.

13. 13
Jessira: Have you ever drank Mr. Scroutz, dirty water full of insects and
worms, like me?
Adrean: Mr Scroutz, are you feeling well; Do you want to stop our
conversation for a while!
Mr Scroutz: No, no, you can continue
Adrianna: Adrean, let's give the floor to Sialom and Akif. Sialom and Akif,
coming from Palestine, are 11 years old and represent all Arab countries.
Adrean: Sialom and Akif we hear you
Sialom: First of all I would like to note that the conversation with Mr.
Scroutz is getting more and more interesting…
Jessira: Allow me colleagues, I am not convinced of anything. Words,
words, words of the wind. The words fly and go! I want to see action!
Akif: I only wish that when this happens, we will still be children.
Sialom: I'll start with something that maybe none of you in here know. Mr.
Scroutz, do you know what "Sialom" means?
Mr Scroutz: I have never heard such a name before!
Sialom: My name means PEACE! Peace, Mr. Scroutz, but peace on this
planet I don't see! This year we also have a war in Ukraine.
Mr Scroutz: You caught me off guard!
Adrean: Finally, dear Sialom, cleverly cheated Mr. Scroutz.
Jessira: Adrean, don't comment. You act like an adult! Mercy!

14. 14
Sialom: So I continue. Everyday we hear about war from here, war from
there… bombs, killings, injuries… wars for a piece of land, wars for a woman,
wars for oil, wars for peace, wars for one, wars for another…
Akif: Adults don't know how to resolve their differences through dialogue!
Only by war.
Asmira: I bet everyone is shaking in fear…
Sialom: Has anyone ever thought children? I lost both my parents! Israel
is constantly waging war on us Palestinians... We ask for peace in the whole
world!
Mr Scroutz: If I bow my head any more in shame I think it will hit the
floor.
Chao-La: It is difficult to change this situation
Mr Scroutz: No children! Don't lose your hopes! Love will change
everything.
Chao-La: I think that "love", in the real and true meaning of the word, we
have never felt until now...
Nasa: Chao-La, what we do now is true love
Chao-La: What do you mean
Jessira: we have come as representatives of all the children of the world
to win a number of our rights
Chalo-La: Yes, you are right.
Adrianna: Well, now it's Adrean, impatient and Victoria's turn. Adrean and
Victoria, aged 13, represent all European countries except Cyprus and
Greece, because I will talk about them...

15. 15
Adrean: Mr Scroutz, finally the two of us! Representing the European
countries, I can say about a thousand and other things that have not yet
been heard in this room...
Mr Scroutz: like?
Adrean: Hmm… Your question is good! But I ask the questions!
Mr Scroutz: Patience, patience…
Adrianna: Adrean, to the point
Sialom: Peace among us children... "Sialom", don't forget!
Mr Scroutz: I look at you and remember myself when I was a little kid. I
used to fight with my friends over little things, we would cry, but after a
while we were friends again!!!
Adrean: Yes…Mr Scroutz…
Mr Scroutz: Please… Your bringing me here will harm my heart!! Tell me
your question my child...
Adrean: Did you know that in several European countries children are
abducted? How many children are missing? Do you know that many children
are abused, raped, murdered?
Mr Scroutz: Yes, my child, I have heard that
Andrean: Did you know that we are afraid to step outside our door without
our parents? Why; Where is the freedom?
Victoria: What freedom? It exists only on paper, as does equality and
justice

16. 16
Mr Scroutz: That happens in all countries!
Victoria: Yes, but it has to stop. We have a right to be free. Let us not be
afraid. To play outside with our friends, to go for walks...
Adrean: Not to be in danger as soon as we open the door of our house. Even
in the school grounds there is danger. Where is the open school,
psychologists, creative activities in full-day schools? They even promised
us horse-riding, but they all remained on the cards. Only on paper. Where
is the free education? On paper; Foreign languages, sports activities?
parents pay for everything
Victoria: Parents work from morning to night. We see them when we go to
bed.
Mr Scroutz: Oh, I know that too. What should we do about it?
Chao-La: The same with the others! Do something!!!
Mrs Georgia: Chao-La is right, we have to do something. We live in the 21st
century. The school should be open to society, children should communicate
with their classmates from all over the world, discuss, talk about their
problems...
Mr Scroutz: Who can stop her now!
Mrs Georgia: Yes, Mrs Mayor, because I didn't go to university! Do
something Scroutz. Children are the hope, the future.
Mayor’s councelor: I agree with the mayoress, sorry I got carried away,
with the lady on honors, I wanted to say.
Mrs Georgia: Hmm! Honors lady, I hear you! I'm going to attend university.
That's the only way the world will change.

17. 17
Mr Scroutz: Oh, what happened to me, she will ask me for an apron and a
bow. Oh, I forgot, they have been abolished. Fortunately, my Virgin Mary!.
Keep it up my kid Adrean.
Adrean: Thank you very much. The police should do a better job. Let better
people join the police force.
Sialom: I can't understand how people change. Since we are all children
and then we grow up, how can there be all this evil?
;
Chao-La: Will we also become evil when we become adults?
Jessira: No, Chao-La. Bad no! But maybe when we grow up we will be given
some medicine that makes you forget the years when you were a child
Nasa: or ignore the children!
Mr Scroutz: But we care about you! Who are we working so many hours
for? Not for you?
Sialom: But we don't want you to work so many hours! We want our parents.
Adrean: We want no child in the whole world to suffer from hunger or
disease, to be deprived of school, to work, to be exploited!
Mr Scroutz: After all, you guys want it all!
Adrianna: You still don't understand what we want! We want "A better
world than the one you give us today".
Sialom: And we expect that we will achieve something...
Jessira: Cry children of the world. We are a bunch of worthless agents.
We haven't done anything yet...
Chao-La: Hope, Jesira, dies last…

18. 18
Adrean: I want you all to think optimistically.
Mr Scroutz: What else is happening in European countries?
Adrean: Many incomprehensible things happen to us. For example: The poor
should not get sick, because they don’t have to pay for doctors and
hospitals.
Mr Scroutz: No way!
Adrean: And yet it is! Do you know, Mr. Scroutz, how many children die
because no doctor will simply examine them?
Mr Scroutz: Poor children
Adrean: But this too must stop! The doctors took an oath
Mr Scroutz: Damn money! Dishonest and unfair life…
Adrean: No, money is not cursed. It came into our lives to make it easier
for us. Some people just mishandle it.
Adrianna: I'm Andrianna. And this is Mara, we are 15 years old. We come
from Athens, the capital of Greece and represent Greece and Cyprus. As
the coordinator of this council, I chose to speak last because I wanted to
talk about another right we have in life.
Mr Scroutz: let's say, are you the strong card of the whole case?
Adrianna: I think that within you again Mr. Scroutz, the germ of
"greatness" that you have been carrying since you entered this room has
awakened. I forget your comment and move on… Mr. Scroutz, do you know
about the ecological destruction of our planet? Do you know about the
greenhouse effect? The ozone hole? The melting of the ice? The garbage
that will soon suffocate us? The waste of energy?

19. 19
Mr Scroutz: Of course, I am informed by the scientists as you are. But I
don't see what this has to do with your rights?
Adrianna: Everything is related…Have you ever thought about the impact
this has on children's lives? Polluted air, dangerous radiation, melting ice,
disease? Did you forget about COVID19? We were deprived of the game,
our friends, the school, the hug. WE WANT A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
All the kids: WE WANT A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
Mr Scroutz: I have to admit that in the end you were a very strong card
in the whole team. Ugh
Adrean: Everything Andrianna said is correct. Everything has to do with
children. Everything!!!
Chao-La: Even the acid rain that falls on our archaeological monuments,
deprives us of a right!
All the kids: Which?
Chao-La: The right to get to know our history, our culture up close. If our
roots are lost, then we will be nothing. A people without historical memory
has no future.
Mara: What will we tell our own children? What will we show them to get
them interested in learning history?
Adrianna: Thank you, colleagues. If the culture of each country is lost,
then we will all become the same. We will not stand out from each other.
We will be nothing.
Nasa: It's up to you to help us. Take our message to the group you
represent.

20. 20
Victoria: WE, children forget quickly, as you know, even those who hurt us.
It's enough to help us.
Adrean: We decided to make this board in the beginning, to make you hurt,
like we hurt…
Adrianna: Adrian, I think you got it wrong... We are not "big"! We don't
solve our differences with war! No more words. Mr. Scrooge you may leave.
Mara: We will discuss with our favorite journalists and make important
decisions. Many things will have to change on this planet.
Adrianna: Correctly. We thank Mr. Scrooge, Mrs. Mayor's Counsellor and
Mrs. Georgia. We await the results of your actions
Mr Scroutz: I will go for a walk in our city. I'm very busy right now.
Mrs Georgia: Be careful not to catch that adult germ again and get
amnesia.
Mayor’s councelor: I will contact all the political figures of our country,
the MEPs. There should be an international conference
Mrs Georgia: I will collect all these items that I bought and make them
available to the children. Mascarata is over.
Scene three
At the town
Mr Scroutz: Wow! I have a terrible headache! The cold will do me good.
But isn't that the little girl who sold flowers? Hello. What are you doing
my child outside in this cold? Why aren't you at home? But, you're bruised.
Κοριτσάκι(Αθηνά): Γεια σας, κύριε. Πουλάω λουλούδια …
A young girl: Hello sir. I sell flowers
Mrs Scroutz: My name is Scroutz, my child.
A young girl: Would you like to buy some flowers for your lady?

Mr Scroutz: Why God… Why? What have we done to these children?
Should they sell flowers on the streets now for a living?
A young girl: Mr, Scroutz…? Will you buy? I am hungry!!!
Mr Scroutz: Take all the money that I have in my pockets and go with your
mother to buy something to eat...
A young girl: Thank you, sir. God bless you always
Mr Scroutz: What’s your name?
A young girl: Hope, sir, hope is my name
Mr Scroutz: Where do you live?
A young girl: Two streets down there. I live with my grandmother!
Mr Scroutz: Your parents?
A young girl: I don’t have parents, only a granny.
Mr Scroutz: Ah, my poor Hope... Why don't you wear thicker clothes? It's
very cold outside. Are you bruised? Why my child, why?
A young girl: I don't have Mr. Scroutz, my grandmother gets a small
pension, not enough for clothes. Sometimes families give me clothes that
they don't need anymore, but…. there was no jacket, unfortunately..
Mr Scroutz: My sweet child, my Hope, have you eaten anything, are you
trembling? How long have you been here on the street selling flowers?
A young girl: No, we didn't have milk today. Now I will buy with the money
you gave me. I'm cold, sir.

Mr Scroutz: But you, my child, do you have a fever? You're ready to fall
down. Help me, the child needs to go to the hospital.
Don't worry my child, I promise you I will change, I will do everything in my
power so that no other child will ever be in your position again. Please, my
Hope, give me this chance, give me the chance to be a proper adult.
A young girl: What do you say Mr. Scroutz, I don't understand you, I have
a fever not you.
Mr Scroutz: Look, I found a bar of chocolate in my pocket, I wish, my
Hope, that from now on your life will be chocolate. And I promise you, my
child, that I will fight for children's rights. Never again a child on the
streets to work.
A young girl: Well done, Mr. Scroutz, that's what you do.
Mr Scroutz: Yes, my child, that's what I'll do, that's all.
Scene forth
Adrianna: It is time to present our rights and discuss with the dear
journalists who honor us with their presence, what else we could do for
them.
Reporter Irianna: .The process must begin, we have no time to waste.
PLAKAT
Reporter Irianna: My name is Irianna, editor of the newspaper "Children's
Rights". I believe that we should turn to other agencies to help us achieve
our goal
Reporter Platon: I also agree with my colleague Plato, editor of the
children's newspaper "Children: The Future of the World". You tasked the
mayor with changing the world. But will he?

23. 23
Reporter Peter: Petros, editor of the children's newspaper "The Game"...
I'm sure he will fight for it, because Mr. Scroutz through the questions of
the representatives became a child again.
Reporter Adreas: Andreas, editor of the children's newspaper "Beautiful
World". I also agree with Peter, but what will happen now? Will you stop
your fight?
Akif: Of course not. We will also cooperate with other agencies.
Reporter Chrysanthi: What do you mean other organizations?
Nasa: teachers, to teach all the children of the world their rights, but also
with the doctors of the world,
Sialom: with Unicef
Chao-La: with the spiritual leaders of the World, authors, poets, to write
about children's rights
Victoria: with the European Parliament, we will send a letter and find out
whether the articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the
Child are applied
Reporter Irianna: I don't know if they were ever observed!
Reporter Chrysanthi: we all have to work together to achieve something
Reporter Adreas: We will make your fight known through our newspapers.
Do you agree colleagues?
All together: Yesss
Jessira: Today, a new day began.

24. 24
Chao-La: Before we finish this council, we make an appointment a year
from now, on the same day and time, in the same place, to meet again and
see if Mr. Scrooge managed to accomplish his mission and the results of
our own struggle. Do you agree?
All together: Yesss
Scene fifth
Adrianna: Welcome delegates, journalists, Mr. Scrooge, Mrs. Georgia,
Vasya, advisor to the mayor. We also welcome the new member of our team,
Elpida, the mayor's daughter. We're glad you made it and are with us. First,
I would ask Mr. Scroutz to show us the results of his actions.
Mr Scroutz: First of all, I would like to welcome you. I was very much
looking forward to our meeting. All this time I got very tired. But I think
we have achieved something! You will of course allow me to invite my
daughter Elpida and my wife Georgia, who is studying Humanities, to the
platform.
Nasa: We are glad Mr. Scroutz that you have adopted Hope and that your
wife is studying.
Mr Scroutz: Elpida was the beginning of the great change in our
municipality. There is no longer a child on the streets. Our municipality
takes care of all families in need.
Chao-La: How did you accomplish this?
Mr Scroutz: After much shouting and pleading, I managed to establish a
Welfare office and we are helping many families in trouble.
Akif: Especially for the children, what have you done?
Mr Scroutz: I founded a daycare center for single-parent families

25. 25
Asmira: Congratulations, Mr. Scroutz.
Mr Scroutz: slowly, slowly the program I made will spread to all the
countries of the world. So we need some time credit here too
Adrianna: Very important step Mr. Scroutz.
Mara: The time has come for journalists and representatives of children
around the world to present the changes that have taken place around the
planet after our intervention and our action.
Plakat
Adrianna: Dear journalists and dear children of the whole world. I am
happy to inform you that our fight was not lost. Schools were built, violence
and exploitation stopped, children are no longer hungry, we breathe clean
air, swim in clean seas, in general we can enjoy our lives without fear
Reporters: Hurray!
Mr Scroutz: Congratulations guys. Because you messed with the largest
portion of people that exist on this earth. You and my little Hope gave me
the strength I needed to stand up for your rights. Always keep in your
heart and mind, the fight we all fought together. Nothing is accidental in
this world. God sent us the "Hope" we needed. Miracles happen, we just
have to believe it in ourselves and everything has its time and way to
happen...
