The Story

Here's our story in Bullet Point form! I guess it'll take about 2 minutes to tell via video. I made some changes for the sake of continuity. Lugh still collects grain, but he puts it into a cart, not a barrel, because I figure that'd be easier for him to carry. Also he's brushing grain off of stored grain stalks.


**OPENING**


*Scene opens from black. The viewer is looking over a market.

*Environment sounds: Din of a crowed, leaves rustling, breeze.

*Title sequence is shown.

*The view cuts to our one human character, Lugh. Lugh is a young male of Tuatha De Danaan descent.

*Lugh is at a pile of grain stalks. He is sweeping the grain from the stalks into a cart.

*A crow hops up to Lugh, on the ground, and squawks loudly. Lugh takes no notice and continues filling his cart. The crow squawks again but receives no response.

*The crow flies onto his pile of grain, and as he turns to his cart with a fresh scoop of grain the crow squawks loudly in Lugh’s face.

*The crow picks up a piece of grain and flaps his wings, implying that he wants to take some of the grain to eat.

*Lugh takes no notice of the gesture and shoos the crow.

**BRIDGE**

*Lugh turns away, and the crow is a little angry with Lugh’s actions. He squawks loudly again, takes a piece of grain.

*Lugh is unimpressed, but keeps working. Crow returns to take more and more grain.

*Lugh grows angry and chases the crow for a few steps until it is out of reach.

*The crow flies up to it’s nest in a nearby tree.

*Lugh, frustrated, picks up a pebble and throws it at the nest.

*Environment: The sky grows darker and a wind begins to pick up.

*The crow, in retaliation, flies down and pecks Lugh in the head, then swiftly returns to his nest.

**CONCLUSION**

*Lugh, now furious at the crow begins to climb the tree to reach the crows nest up top.

*Environment: Storm clouds roll in the background. It begins to rain. Thunder is heard in the distance.

*The crow notices Lugh climbing, and flies down to peck at his head more.

*Lugh hangs onto the tree by his legs and swings at the crow with his hands.

*Lugh loses his balance and grip, falls from the tree. He lands on the cart containing his grain, ruining it. (The grain falls to the wet, muddy, grassy ground.)

*He steps away from the grain and is very disappointed & sulky.

*Crow flies down, caring not about the filth and goes to peck at the grain in the dirt.

*As the crow approaches, the lightening strikes the spilled grain.

*The grain is completely ruined.

*Lugh sits, disappointed. Crow lands on Lugh’s head, also disappointed.

*Fades to black.


Moral of the story:

What goes around comes around; Lugh should have given to the crow, but the crow should have left him alone once he was refused grain from Lugh’s stock.
