N: Once upon a time, J.K. Rowling was
sleeping. She dreamed of Confucius, the greatest teacher in China.
J: Who are you? Why are you in my house?
I’m calling the guard.
C: I don't believe I'm in your dream. Don’t
you know me? I’m Confucius. It's an honor to meet someone from the future.
J: Oh, I guess you are Confucius. Can I
have your autograph?
C: We didn't do autographs in my time. Will
my official seal fulfill your wishes? Here is “The Book of Ode.” I’ve affixed
my seal on the cover, there.
J: Wow, thanks! Here is my most famous
novel “Harry Potter.” I’ve signed my name on the cover, too.
N: Confucius takes the book and begs to be
excused for a bathroom break. As soon as he exits, the Wright Brothers suddenly
crash through the roof of Rowling’s house in their latest powered glider.
J: Oh my, who are you? Did you have to
break my roof?
W.B.: Terribly sorry! We didn’t mean to
scare you and damage your property. Don’t worry, however. We'll
invent a flying bathtub that puts out forest fires from miles away, and from
the orders and sales, we'll pay you back.
N: Confucius was back from the toilet. He
was terrified by the scene.
C: What kind of kite is this? It looks like
a giant butterfly of death!
W.B.: It’s not a kite. It’s our latest
powered flying machine capable of carrying four people up to 50 meters altitude
and 400 meters distance.
C: I see, but what is that terrifying death scream coming from its inside?
N: Mozart, vigorously playing a violin,
steps down from the flying machine.
Mozart: Flying in this dangerous giant kite has given me an idea for a new symphony!
W.B.: No, it’s not a kite. It’s a flying
machine. I’ve already said so twice.
N: Martin Luther King Jr. steps out of the
machine and stretches.
Martin: I have a dream: that all the
children, black or white, can fly such a kite.
Mozart: I was a musical prodigy and had no
time to play when I was young. Please save a kite for me.
N: [Ringing sound.] The alarm clock is
sounding!
J: What a weird dream I just had!
N: J.K Rowling finds the “Book of Odes,” a
model flying machine with four seats, and a violin on her quilt.
Narrator: The Wright brothers, Confucius,
Martin and Mozart all stand up from behind Rowling's bed, looking puzzled.
"SO DID I!" They all say together.
