**Narrator:**

Long ago in India, there lived a king who had many wives, but no children.
He prayed every day for a child.

**King:**

O gods, please bless me with a child!

**Narrator:**

After many years, a shining goddess appeared and blessed the king with a
daughter named Savitri.

**King:**

Thank you, goddess! I will love and protect my daughter.

**Narrator:**
Savitri grew up wise and beautiful. When she came of age, her father asked
her to choose a husband.

**King:**

Go, Savitri, and find a husband of your choice.

**Narrator:**

Savitri searched for a suitable husband and finally chose Satyavan, a kind
and good man who lived in the forest.

**Narada:**

Savitri, Satyavan is a good man, but he has only one year to live.

**Savitri:**

I have chosen him, and I will marry him no matter what.

**Narrator:**

Savitri married Satyavan and went to live in the forest with him and his
parents. She was happy and cared for everyone.

**Narrator:**

But one day, while Satyavan was chopping wood, he felt weak and lay down
under a tree.

**Savitri:**

Satyavan, what is wrong? Why do you look so pale?

**Narrator:**
Just then, Yama, the God of Death, appeared.

**Yama:**

Savitri, your husband's time on earth is over. I have come to take his soul.

**Savitri:**

Lord Yama, please take me instead!

**Yama:**

No, Savitri, you are very devoted, but it is Satyavan's time.

**Narrator:**

Savitri pleaded with Yama and followed him as he took Satyavan's soul.

**Yama:**

You are brave, Savitri. Ask for any blessing – except your husband's life.

**Savitri:**

Please bless Satyavan's parents.

**Yama:**

Granted.

**Savitri:**

Please bless my father’s kingdom.

**Yama:**
Granted.

**Savitri:**

Please bless me with children.

**Yama:**

Granted.

**Savitri:**

But Yama, how can I have children without my husband?

**Narrator:**

Yama was impressed by Savitri’s love and devotion.

**Yama:**

You are truly devoted, Savitri. I will return Satyavan’s life to you.

**Narrator:**

Yama returned Satyavan’s soul, and Satyavan woke up as if from a deep


sleep. Savitri and Satyavan hugged each other happily.

**Savitri:**

Thank you, Lord Yama!

**Narrator:**

And so, Savitri’s love and courage brought her husband back to life, and they
lived happily ever after.
**All Characters (together):**

True love and devotion can conquer even death!
