The caste system
Storyboard Text
- get working you Shudras!!! I want to see you finished by noon.
- yes sir
- yes sir. right away.
- ok on it
- Yes sir. We will have to get more people.
- Pardon me, but people are getting sicker and sicker by the minute in the field and we are loosing many people.
- The servants are working so much in the fields, day and night, that they are getting ill. They have a very mean king (Ashoka) who does not care about anything but himself. Meanwhile, the pharaohs daughter was listening to the whole conversation and had her own opinion.
- Ah, I see... are we running so short on people that I will not have people to work in the fields and get me crops for my food?
- I know darling, sadly I cannot do anything about it. Maybe try talking to your father?
- maid
- hello darling. What are you doing out here?
- I am really upset.
- Well, I was thinking about today because I heard my dad talking to you saying stuff about how he only cared about the slaves, so he could have his food.
- The daughter of Ashoka was thinking. She knew that her father was wrong and that she needed to fix things. She knew that the slaves should not be forced to work in the field so much and her father should not be so selfish.
- Mary, those people are slaves, they are born into that job. The caste system is the caste system.
- yes mary?
- Hello father. I would like to ask you a few things. Why do you care so much about yourself? The slaves working in the fields need help from you.
- But father, you just don't understand...
- Mary is trying to talk to her father and help him to understand. Mary is going to show him.
- I-I don't know what to say...I guess I was just thinking to much about myself and not about the people around me.
- Do you see? How would you feel if you were one of them?
- Ashoka understands that people are suffering and that he needs to help.
- Dear, I do not know why you are doing this, but I trust you.
- I knew Mary could fix things. What a great child.
- Ashoka is going to help the slaves and let them work less. He is getting them a doctor too, all because of his daughter. His wife is going to have to learn too.
- I have decided to let all of the slaves work less and I have also decided to get them all a doctor that will check in on them to help.
- I knew I could fix this!
