Scene 1: Lucas's House

(It was a beautiful sunny day, and Lucas was excited because today they were celebrating Orange Day. His mother explained to him that this day symbolized joy and unity, but it was also a reminder of the importance of non-violence, especially towards women.)

Lucas's Mother:(smiling) Lucas! Today is Orange Day. It's a day to celebrate, but also to remember that we must respect everyone, especially women.

Lucas:(nodding) Got it, Mom! I want to do something special with my friends.

Scene 2: The Park

(Lucas went out and headed to the park where Sofía and Juan were playing. When he arrived, he noticed a new girl, Clara, watching from a distance.)

Sofía:(noticing Clara) Who is that girl? Lucas:(determined) Let's invite her to play.

Juan:I don't know, but she looks lonely.

(The three approached Clara with smiles.)

Scene 3: Inviting Clara

Lucas: (friendly) Hi! I’m Lucas. Do you want to play with us? Today is Orange Day.

Sofía: (excited) It doesn’t matter! We can paint your face. We’re all orange today.

Clara: (a bit shy) Hi. I don’t know if I can… I don’t have an orange face.

(Clara smiled and accepted the invitation.)

Lucas’s Grandmother: (with a big smile) What a joy to see so many kids together! Always remember to be kind and respectful to each other.

Scene 4: Painting Faces at Lucas’s House

(The friends went to Lucas’s house where his grandmother had orange paint.)

(The kids began painting their faces. Clara felt happy seeing that everyone accepted her.)

Scene 5: Playing in the Park

(With their faces painted, the four friends ran back to the park. They played together while other kids joined them.)

Lucas: (shouting while running) Look how many we are now! We’re all orange!

(As they played, Clara felt part of the group and started sharing her thoughts on what respect means.)

Scene 6: Reflections Under the Tree

(After playing, the friends sat under a tree to rest.)

Clara:(thoughtful) Thank you for letting me play with you. Sometimes I feel lonely because people don’t always treat me well elsewhere.

Sofía:(nodding) Yes, today we celebrate friendship and joy, but we must also remember that no one should be hurt or feel bad for being different.

Juan: (concerned) That’s not right. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect.

(Everyone looked at Clara with support.)

Lucas: (firmly) Guys, today we learned something important. Orange Day isn’t just about having fun; it’s also a reminder that we must take care of each other and never allow anyone to be treated badly. We should always speak out against violence and support those in need.
