Theme: Mystery Cup

My Movie Name :: The Greed - Mystery Cup

My script has the following 4 characters :-

1- About 32 years old Robin, a scrap dealer.

2- About 27 years old beautiful and fashionable girl Izabella.

3- About 58 years old widow Mrs. Christopher, Robin's mother.

4- Robin's neighbour and blacksmith Henry, about 48 years old.

When I was young, my grandmother told me such a story and that story is still in my heart and mind.

Simple Robin was living his life with his mother, his father had died in one, and then his financial condition was very bad at that time, Robin was not too old in those days, he was only 19 years old. The father had not made much savings, and what he had was spent on his treatment.

Mrs. Christopher was also a housewife and had no other means of income left after her husband's death. A few days after the death of Robin's father, these two mother and son spent a very bad time, then following the advice of someone, Robin bought the old goods coming out of people's homes and sold them further to the big traders. Started working and their domestic needs started getting fulfilled.

Meanwhile, Robin befriends Isabella, a very fashionable and beautiful girl, who works as an assistant in a beauty parlour, and Robin is deeply in love with her. But due to Robin's work, they were not able to get married right now, Robin also wanted that if he gets some other work or if his income increases, then both of them will get married.

Isabella was very ambitious girl and she always used to motivate Robin to earn more money.

Suddenly one day Robin found some old item from some house which seemed very ancient, Robin thought that some antique items might come out in this old item and by selling it his financial condition would be better, one of those items was brass cup and the cup was studded with pieces of coloured glasses.

There was also a cup which was being carved, but it was very blackened, Robin thought that if he cleaned it and sold it, he would get more money, and he started rubbing it with sandpaper to clean it. But then a miracle happened.

A voice came from that cup. Ha ha ha ha you woke me up from my sleep, I am a genie, ask me whatever you want. Robin was very scared and told all these things to his mother. Mother said to him, Son, you have got this miraculous cup, but being greedy too much has its side effects, so now if he asks you to ask for it again, just tell him to make us happy and prosperous, this will be good for us.

Robin followed his mother's advice and said the same to genie , and then slowly all the happiness and wealth started coming to their home automatically.

When Robin's neighbor Henry saw that Robin's family suddenly became happy, he became very jealous and he spied and found out how Robin became rich, and when he came to know he thought that he would steal his magic cup and he himself would become very rich. . Thinking like this, he stole the cup, when he rubbed the cup, a voice came from him, ask for whatever you want, but I will fulfil only two demands only because you have stolen me.

Henry said to him, ok, give me such power that whatever I touch, it becomes gold, Jean said ok, it will happen. Henry thought that now he would convert all the iron in his house into gold and he did the same. He was very happy in his heart, then his wife brought food for him as soon as he touched the food that become gold and same happened with her wife . He was very scared and he called the genie again and begged him to save him , the genie said you can ask only once more, say what you want.

Henry said crying, just do it again as it was before, I made a mistake, I should not have been so greedy.

The genie did the same.

That is why it is said that too much greed is not good.
Thanks for reading my story ,
