THE FLOWER OF HONESTY:

Description: A prince about to marry, decides to choose his future wife by


means of a test: the one that cultivates the most beautiful flower, will be
chosen
Characters: Prince, Kumiko, Yuga, Princesses

FIRST ACT
The curtain opens, and a young prince enters, dressed in a superb oriental
costume. Around her, several beautiful and elegantly dressed princesses dance
and move coquettishly. Suddenly Kumiko appears among them, a humble girl
who looks at the boy in love.
Behind her comes Yuga, the old maid of the palace, with a broom, and pulls
her arm.

Yuga: Kumiko, what are you doing at the dance? I told you you have to clean.
Kumiko: I just wanted to see the prince ...
Yuga: That love you keep for him can never be! Understand girl, you are a
poor and insignificant girl.
Kumiko bends her head. The prince speaks:
Prince: I want all the girls in this dance to have a seed. The one who is able to
grow the most beautiful flower with the seed that is delivered to her will be
my wife and the future Empress of China.

The women murmur excitedly as some guards give them seeds. Kumiko is
surprised when she is also given one and looks at her with love.
Kumiko: I will take care of this seed with all my heart and maybe, so the
prince will realize how much I love him.

SECOND ACT
Kumiko appears on the scene, in a very poor room, watering the pot where she
has placed her seed. However, nothing has grown inside her.
Kumiko: Seed, how long have you been without growing? I have taken care of
you with all my love since you arrived and even then you have not taken root.
Kumiko sighs, sad.
Kumiko: I think I just do not have a hand for plants, what a sadness. The
prince will never know of the great love I feel for him.
Take the pot between your hands.
Kumiko: At least I gave my best effort.

THIRD ACT
The curtain opens showing again the prince dressed in an elegant oriental suit.
In front of him, all the princesses are dressed in beautiful dresses and each
holds a pot with a flower. All the flowers are colorful and beautiful. Kumiko
approaches, looking down at the prince with longing.
Her pot is empty and she is dressed in the same humble clothes she had the
first time. The other girls watch her with disdain and murmur, mocking her in
low spirits.

Prince: Well, show me your flowers. It's time to choose my future wife.

All the girls line up with Kumiko at the end. The prince approaches her with
intrigue.

Prince: Why did not you bring any flowers?


Kumiko: I tried to take care of the seed you gave me, Your Highness, with all
my heart. But the truth is that I did not manage to make anything grow. I'm
sorry, I just wanted to see you one last time.
The prince smiles.

Prince: Well, you will see me all my life because you will be my wife.

The princesses are incredulous and annoying.

Prince: All the seeds I gave were sterile. Only you have come to speak to me
with the truth. Such an honest girl does deserve to be my wife.

Kumiko and the prince embrace tenderly.
