NARRATOR 1:
It’s a busy evening in the newsroom of WKDM, Great Kingdom’s television
station. Anchorperson Suzy Speaks begins the broadcast.
SUZY SPEAKS:
Good evening. Our top story tonight – a surprising announcement from the
palace. Reporter Bob Blab has the details.
BOB BLAB:
Suzy, in an exclusive interview this afternoon, King Prosperous made an
extraordinary offer to the people of our kingdom.
KING PROSPEROUS:
I hereby proclaim that I will award one million dollars to anyone who can
help doctors at the Great Kingdom Hospital find a way to save our
Kingdom’s beloved egghead, Humpty Dumpty.
BOB BLAB:
Humpty Dumpty was injured yesterday morning in a fall from his perch on
the Great Kingdom Wall. His physician, Dr. Menditwell, says Mr. Dumpty’s
condition is critical, and hope for his recovery is fading.
DR. MENDITWELL:
Humpty Dumpty has cracked bones in his arms and legs, as well as severe
yolk displacement. Our biggest concern, though, is his outer shell; it’s so
shattered, we don’t even know how to repair the damage.
