The Mystery of The Missing Pearl

The Mystery of the Missing Pearl

Act I

Storyteller: Once upon a time about 50 years ago, there once was a boy, his name was Ted. He was a diver, he loved to go deep down into the ocean and look at all of the fish and coral with all of the wonderful sea life. Ted was getting ready to dive into the White Pearl Reef one of the biggest Coral Reefs in the world!  He was SUPER excited to go in and try and find the Great Pearl, but he was also a little bit scared. The reef also is said that it has held the most amount of White Pearls in the world!!! The Legend is, there is one giant pearl, named the Great Pearl, but no one can find it.

 

Ted: Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out.

 

Storyteller: Ted was alway a little scared that he might drown or freeze, but he did it anyway, even though he knew what could happen to him if his mom found out.

 

Ted: I guess I’m jumping in

 

Storyteller: So Ted dove in… he didn’t find anything at first, but then he hit his head on a giant clam. (Ted hits his head on the clam)Ted hurt his head really bad. So now he has a headache.  He tried to open it but he couldn’t, then Ted got hit in the head by a crowbar and used that to open it. It wasn’t just that easy, but after about 5 minutes, he FINaLLY pried it open..

 

Ted: What is this?  A GIANT PEARL INSIDE.  AHHHHHHHH!  I better take this to the museum.

 

The Mystery of the Missing Pearl

Act II

Storyteller: He made his way to the museum and he had to make sure no one would take it and say that they found it. So he had to be very careful about what he did, so no one would try to steal it. When he reached the museum it was closed!

 

Ted: THE MUSEUM IS CLOSED!?! I WASTED ALL MY TIME WALKING HERE FOR NOTHING?!  WITH THIS HEAVY THING IN MY HANDS!?!  Maybe I can go to the museums owner’s house.

 

Storyteller: So he was on the way to the museum owner’s house.

 

Museum owner: Hi Ted, what can I help you with?

 

Ted: Hello Miss Kay, could you please come out here quick? I need to tell you something

 

Museum owner: Yes, what brings you here so late?

 

Ted: I found the giant pearl of the White Pearl Reef!

 

Museum owner: Wow that’s amazing, how big is it?

 

Ted: Not sure.

 

Museum owner:  Looks like it may be 8 inches. You can give it to me and I will put it in the museum tomorrow.

 

Ted: Thanks, but please make sure no one tries to steal it.  

 

Museum owner: I know, I will keep it for you and put it in the security showcase crate so that if someone tries to steal it, the buzzer will go off, and they will be caught.

 

Ted: Thanks! That would be great!

 

Museum owner: Yep!

 

Storyteller: So the Ted trusted Miss Kay with the pearl, thinking it would be safe.

Detective 2: Sure I have my kit that we can use to get the fingerprints.  I always keep it with me.

 

Museum owner: Thank you so much!  I told Ted I would keep it VERY safe, but now I am going to let him down.

 

Detective 1: DOn’t worry, both of us will try our best.

 

Detective 2: We won’t let you, or Ted down.  

 

Detective 1: Don’t tell Ted, Miss Kay, we will get that pearl back for you.

 

Detective 2: We need to get to work so please leave the

crime scene.

 

Museum owner: Sure, thank you again, I am so glad that you two are helping me. I will see you later.

Detective 2: So we should dust around the door and the case to see if we can find any fingerprints.

 

Detective 1: Yeah let’s get to work. Do you see any fingerprints on the door?

 

Detective 2: No, we should look somewhere else.

 

Detective 1: Let’s go look at the case that the pearl was in.

 

Detective 2: That’s a good idea.  There has to be fingerprints somewhere.

 

Detective 1: Do you see anything?

 

Detective 2: Not yet, I am checking the cameras.

 

Detective 1: Do you see him? I hope we find him so Miss Kay does not have to tell ted that we can’t find it.

 

Detective 2:  No, I’m going back to the case. Wait I see a fingerprint on the case. Lets try to find the fingerprint
on the computer to see if it matches to anyone.

 

Detective 1: Wait, I see more fingerprints, come look!

 

Detective 2: Hey look out the window!

 

Storyteller: Detective 2 looked out the window and saw the criminal with the Great White pearl!

 

Detective 1: Let’s go and get him.

 

Detective 2: Already ahead of you. Call Miss Kay.

    I really like this play here. I wish you would’ve added a supporting character, to make this play not so much, Ted-Storyteller-Ted-Storyteller-Detective 1-Detective 2. I wonder where you got the inspiration for this story. Please come to my blog at http://blog.elanco.org/martin3z3/2018/09/23/physical-the-worlds-strongest-man/ and leave a comment. Thank you!
