long.

HANIF

: Oh okay. I just felt pity on him.

IZZYWAN

to stand there by himself.

HANIF

: Then its okay, so we dont need to give him our seats, right?

IZZYWAN

: Yes, let him be.

OLD MAN

Scene 2 : In the field, boys are having fun playing football, others do some
exercise and also jog, while Ilham and Izzywan are sitting next to each other.
They are drinking carbonate drinks and eating some snacks. Then the
conversation starts.
ILHAM

: Im getting really tired of this!

IZZYWAN

: Why?

ILHAM

: They shouldnt rise the electricity fares as they want. Not

all of us are rich. They should consider the idea and be more
careful of what they are doing.

IZZYWAN

: Yes, I agree with you. Its not fare for the people who are
facing financial problem, of course they wanted to live in
more economic ways.

ILHAM

: Yeah. Hey where is the dust bin?

IZZYWAN

: What Mr. Bean?

ILHAM

: Not Mr. Bean, I said dust bin! Where am I suppose to throw

this rubbish while there is no trash can in here?

IZZYWAN

: Its okay, just throw it somewhere, there will be a cleaner

here soon.

ILHAM

: Thats right! We just throw it here and nobody knows about

this. Great.

IZZYWAN

: I wonder wheres the dust bin goes. Maybe it has been

stolen by somebody. Poor guy stealling a dust bin. Hey dont
you have any rubbish left? Just let them lying here.

ILHAM

: Good idea, lets just throw it everywhere and let the cleaner
pick them up. Hes nothing to do with us. Haha.

IZZYWAN

: Sure. Haha.

Their rudeness has been seen by a man who were walking near of them.
He gets a little surprise. He then walk towards them.
HANIF

: Hey, what are you guys doing? Why you guys scattering the
rubbish everywhere?

ILHAM

: Because there is no dust bin in here, so we scatter the

rubbish just to prank the cleaner.

IZZYWAN

: Yes! Haha.

HANIF

: Hey, stop it. Dont you guys have mercy?

IZZYWAN

: Why?

HANIF

: Look. Just imagine you guys have a father that work as a

cleaner. Imagine that he is about to face this kind of joke
everytime he goes to work. Would you guys dare letting him
picking up all the rubbish you threw? Isnt that
dissappointing?

IZZYWAN

: Yeah, I feel guilty. Now I realised that we suppose not to do

that anymore. Were so sorry.

ILHAM

: Thats right, me too. We should apreciate other peoples

jobs. We dont worth any respects if we dont respect others.

HANIF

: Yes. Now lets we pick up the rubbish back together. It

should be in a right place, not in here. I know the nearest
dust bin is just around the corner of the toilet. Maybe we
should speak nicely to the cleaner to put dust bin in this area
also after this.

ILHAM and IZZYWAN : Okay, thank you mr.

Scene 3 : One Day, Ilham met his friends, Izzywan and Hanif in the hall.
His friends were playing a piano. He was also bring along his new pet, named

it?

ILHAM

: What a deaf! Its name is Cleopatra. O! I

rescued her from an abusive owner.

IZZYWAN

: What? Who was it? What did the owner do?

ILHAM

: The owner was a musician. He was abusing the

cat to play piano. When it doesnt listen to the
right pitch, he kept hitting its tail on the piano
board.

HANIF

: What? Thats very cruel!

IZZYWAN

: What did you do then?

ILHAM

: I told the owner off even human can go out of

pitch, and you are blaming a cat! I then, took
Cleopatra away. Besides, the owner didn't even
give it food. He was also hit the cat with a stick
of bamboo flute. He even poured paint on it.
Thats why its fur so colourful.

HANIF

: Oh, no! This is real abuse.Thank God you took it

away from that monster.

ILHAM

: I also reported to SPCA about this matter.

IZZYWAN

: Wow! Im proud of you. What a proactive action!

ILHAM

: Yes...and SPCA took a great effort to punish

this cruel owner.

HANIF

: So, what happened next? Tell us more.

ILHAM

: What is best...they put up Cleopatra for an

adoption. So, I took her in.

IZZYWAN

: I hope the punishment by the SPCA will be a

lesson to anyone who abuses animals.

ILHAM AND IZZYWAN

: To all the audience...moral of the story, we

should be aware of animal abuse and love pets.

HANIF

: (Look at the audience) The Prophet Muhammad

taught mercy to all Gods creation. There are
many report of his love for cats resulting in
their historical acceptance among Muslims. Cats
are very common among the people during the
time of Prophet, and he said,
The (cats) are not impure and they intermingled
with you.

ILHAM

: Yes, it is known that some people nowadays

have opposed the traditions of the Prophet by
taking up the evil practices of torturing cats. In
Islam, punishment for such acts is severe.
