ALFONSO show his discomfort with the sticky red gel on his
head.The animals that were on the track ran everywhere. A
few minutes later, ALFONSO already follow the yelling.

ALFONSO
Hope this sticky red jelly
doesn’t make me bald! It will be
a disaster at the school.
SHAP
Well we can´t tell you at all...
We never been at school.
All laugh. ALFONSO giggles nervously with the uncertain
answer.
4.EXT FIELD NIGHT
Some lights came through the foliage. There were orange
and yellow ones, from fires, and others neon green, just
like the fireflies the boys carry in their containers that
serve as flashlights. ALFONSO stood amazed. In front is a
village of little huts, built of logs and tree branches
covered with leaves, all bound coarsely with ropes made of
handmade roots and branches. By each hut is a jar of
fireflies, hung near the entrance. They also serve, stuck
in a kind of imbalanced way on tripods, as torches that
surrounded the field. In the center is a clearing with a
fire, where some distinguished foreign delicacies on
skewers were roasting. ALFONSO see that some of these
delicacies were fruit, and that others were pieces of meat
or fish. However, There we don´t see a soul. ALFONSO
struggls to try and spot someone, but with no luck.
HYG, SHAP and KALI look at each other with a chuckle. SHAP
squeal a note; HYG and KALI join him, each taking their
turn. the set of three forme a continuous chord melody
such as alfonso had not heard this afternoon. it seemed a
heavenly tune, similar to a choir of angels.
ALFONSO looks like under a spell while still enjoying the
mesmerizing sound, when the entire field joined in.
From every part leapt other critters...holes in the
ground, from up trees, camouflaged by the foliage, new
BOYS sang the same chord. HYG then made a strong signal
like a great conductor of a symphony orchestra. everyone
stop and ALFONSO relaxs in surprise, or almost, because
the break did not last more than two seconds. A strange
whistle set the tune, and in a precise instant, everyone
start an energetic song.

the break did not last more than two seconds. A strange
whistle set the tune, and in a precise instant, everyone
start an energetic song.
One group of KIDS pulls out some kind of drum and start a
vigorous percussion. Others KIDS, flutes, which whistle
strangely with very different sounds, and they all dance
in a very orderly confusion, around ALFONSO and the
campfire.
As he joined them, so came from the trees a group of GIRLS
adorned with flowers. ALFONSO see them as the first GIRLS
in the field, all of them as small KIDS, but all very
beautiful and joyful. They follow one after the other in a
kind of imitation dance, rhythmically making the same
gestures as the first in the line.
ALFONSO doesnt want to miss anything that was going on
around him, he watch all the movements with his eyes wide
open.
Sometimes it seemed like an african tribal dance, then a
rock group, and soon after, one of those american big
bands that played at the time of world war II, and the
frenzy that gang of KIDS, all singing and dancing, would
not let him have his feet stuck to the ground. He felt
himself in the rhythm of the music and was quickly drawn
into the middle of the exciting mess. With such a
distraction, ALFONSO doesn´t notice that HYG and his
companions were making a disquieting satisfaction.
ALFONSO drinks a sweet beverage, from small, beautiful
wildflowers.

Finally, ALFONSO fells tired. He speaks to HYG.
Finally, ALFONSO fells tired. He speaks to HYG.
ALFONSO
This is fantastic, but I’m
beginning to feel tired. May I go
to sleep? ... If you could tell
me where I can spend the night
... and maybe, you could give me
one of those pots with water in,
to see if I can wash off this
sticky stuff that you threw in my
face. It feels like chewing gum
(laugh lightly).
HYG
Like what?!
ALFONSO
Never mind what it is....
HYG smiles and motion to AFY.
HYG
Take our guest to the creek and
then ensure that he gets a
restful night.
AFY takes ALFONSO’S hand and led him through the trees
toward the creek. ALFONSO watch AFY along the way.AFY
looks at him and ALFONSO get embarrassed.

AFY take a piece of moss from her dress.
AFY take a piece of moss from her dress.
AFY
You can use it to wash yourself.
ALFONSO Agree and smells the aroma coming from the piece
of moss. AFY turns her back while ALFONSO take off his
shirt and soaks the makeshift sponge, starts to wash his
face.
ALFONSO
What is your name? Do you also
have a name as...erm...as special
as your friends?”
AFY turns instinctively to respond, but once she made
sense of the moment, she turns back again, embarrassed.
AFY
Yes...I mean...sorry... my name
is...I’m Afffmt But you can
choose me a nickname, as you did
with the boys...
ALFONSO pauses a little, looks at AFY, and smile.
ALFONSO
Sure...hmm... (struggles a bit)
Afff, no...Affffff...AFY! Do you
like it? Afy seems good to me...
AFY smile and looks away again, distracted. he turns back
quickly again and gives a confident smile.
AFY
Well, I’ll show you where you are
going to sleep.
AFY take ALFONSO hand timidly, and guides him back again
towards the camp. Hidden among the trees, two faces peered
through some rocks to see them leave. A known giggle rose
through the night. HYG and KALI had been hiding the whole
time, spying on what happened. They look triumphantly at
each other, gave each other a high five and disappear in
the woods.

7.EXT FIELD NIGHT
AFY and ALFONSO arrive back to camp where everything is
seemingly much calmer. Some of the KIDS were asleep
leaning against each other, the great fire was now weaker
and the green lanterns of fireflies were almost all
extinguish by the doors of the little huts. AFY shows
ALFONSO a hut where the fireflies still glows.

You can sleep here; I assure you

furs for sleeping under...

ALFONSO smile; AFY give him a peck on the tip of his nose
and disappeared in a flash. ALFONSO almost fell in

knowing quite how to react.

8.EXT FIELD ALFONSO HUT NIGHT
ALFONSO lay down on his back onto some fur and gazes at
the moon passing through the branches of the roof of the
hut. He takes the piece of moss that Afy had given him and
smell it once again.

9.EXT FIELD NIGHT
In a more secluded area of the clearing, a group of KIDS
heatedly discussed something, but with a strange silence
that did not correspond to the vigorous gestures that were
being made. We could see that HYG, KALI and SHAP were
there as well as a group of older KIDS from the field.
Something really important was being discussed by them. Of
course, it had to be somehow related to Alfonso. After a
long conversation without much noise, they did a very
quick sort of ceremony, similar to a sports team giving
their war cry before an important game, but that sounded
more like the cry of a bird of prey echoing through the
night.

ALFONSO leaped from his first sleep. He felt a shiver go
right through his spine. As a reflex he wrapped himself up
in the furs.
