DRAFT 1


FADE IN

1. OUT-BEACH-DAY

The coconut-trees are wagging lightly in the wind. The waves of Caribs territorial waters are rushing to the seashore that we can hear the rustle.

The hilarious GUITAR SOUND begins to echo. Its melody is so sudden inspirational.

Under the foot of a coconut tree, KEN, a little naughty monkey is playing guitar and dancing passionately.

The small hands of KEN glide very fast on the strings. His feet jump around. His long tail also wags in Caribbean dancing style.

2. OUT-BEACH-DAY

A STRONG makes the coconut trees move from side to side.

From the top of the tree, a coconut fruit falls down fastly and drops on KEN'S guitar box. The coconut crashes the guitar box with a bang.

KEN jumps around his broken guitar with his dumbfounded face. He gapes.

KEN kicks the coconut aside and looks at his pity guitar box.

His guitar box is broken into debris scattering on the sands.

The guitar box just remains a few strings.

3. OUT-BEACH-DAY

KEN sits flat on the sands. His face is deformed. KEN'S chin propped up in one hand. He rubs and tears his hair.

dissolve to:

Under that small dune, TEN, a little crab is creeping out and creeping in there. He reveals his big carapace.

KEN stares at TEN'S carapace. The carapace is so big and nice, and it has very strange colorful spot.

KEN'S eyebrows twitch. KEN is imagining about a new guitar box which will be made from TEN'S carapace.

KEN is seemed to be very excited with that idea. KEN smiles.

KEN

I found it!

5. OUT-BEACH-DAY

In a small dune on the beach, TEN is completely wrapped in scratching sands.

TEN'S carapace hove in sight through a thin sandy stratum. His movement is very fast nimbly.

KEN steps from far but he stands for a while to observe.

KEN begins to go over and struck up a conversation with TEN.

KEN

Hi! What are you doing here?

TEN

         (wry face)

Nothing! Why are you here?

KEN

 (threats)

I'm here to borrow your carapace

TEN

  (shouts)

Never! Don't daydream!

KEN raises his hands planning to snatch TEN.

TEN uses his two front nippers to throw the sands all over KEN'S face.

The eyes, noses and mouth of KEN is covered with the sands. He cannot speak or see anything at that moment because of the sands.


KEN sneezes continuously. KEN rubs his eyes, and his face becomes bright red.

KEN is angry. He determined to catch TEN at any cost.

6. OUT-BEACH-DAY

TEN runs along the beach.

Someone throws a banana and it drops directly on TEN'S feet.

TEN smiles and claps his hands unintelligibly. He raises his left nipper to knock his head. TEN is thinking of the way to lure KEN.

TEN picks up the banana and creeps into the sands in time for hiding from KEN.

KEN is getting very angry. But when he sees a banana flickering on a big dune, he jumps with sparkling eyes.

KEN runs like the wind and snatch it. KEN sits down.

Under the sands TEN is hiding and waiting the chance to retaliate KEN.

KEN holds the banana and takes to his mouth. But KEN has not eaten in time yet.

KEN

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

KEN bounces up and falls down the water surface.

TEN creeps out from the dune. He laughs, claps, sticks out his tongue and overjoys.
