You guessed it, this story is about DumDum the Fool. 

Teenager
Look at this guy. He's calling DumDum crazy. Maybe you haven't noticed buddy, but we don't have anybody smarter than DumDum in Sugarland.
NARRATOR
Really! Well then. Today's story will be named "DumDum THE WISE".
Man #5
Ha, ha, ha... Take a look at this fool. Calling DumDum Wise. Nobody is crazier than DumDum. 
SMITHY
No, he's truly wise. He just plays the fool.
TEAMASTER
No, he is a nut bar. He just pretends to be wise. 
NaRRATOR
Oh, my. Just tell me what to say. The Wise or The Fool?
Man #5
He's crazy. You call yourself sane?
SMITHY
No. He's truly wise.
NaRRATOR
You know what? Let's call today's story "DumDum THE WISEST FOOL EVER". Perfect! Now, come along. Let's leave these foolish and undecided people to themselves. We, need to get our story started. Today's story begins with a man called Newman. He only had 10 coins in hand, but desperately wanted to travel to Sugarland and try his luck in the world of buying and selling merchandise. 
CUT TO:
EXT. desert - dAY
Newman and other citizens travel alongside their carvan headed for Sugarland.
NaRRATOR
But since he really knew nothing about buying and selling merchandise, he couldn't stop thinking about what he should buy to then sell.
Newman
I'll buy some carpet fabric. No, I'll buy Akoya pearls. No, better still: I'll buy some oriental pearls. Ah! You can't buy these things with only 10 coins. What am I to do? What should I trade? I know! Once I'm in Sugarland, I'll look for the wisest man in that town and ask him. What a great idea. Well done brain. Hold on, let me catch up. 
Man #6
Huh? ... What?  ...Ah ya ya... Ola everyone, we've arrived in Sugarland. 
Crowd
Yay! We've arrived... We are in Sugarland. 
CUT TO:
EXT. town entrance - mOMENTS LATER
Newman arrives at the entrance point of the town of Sugarland.
Newman
Ah... So, this is the famous town of Sugarland. What a pretty place. Take a look at this, oh.... 
Sal
Look at this guy coming right here... oh...
Ray
He looks funny. 
Franky
Hey, watch were your going buddy... Be careful you don't hurt yourself or something.... 
Newman
How are you today. I'm looking for the wisest man in Sugarland. Can you help me? 
Franky
Wise? In Sugarland?  Not here... Not here... nope....
Sal and Ray repeat the same thing at the same time.
Sal
None of that here hahaha. 
RAY
None of that here hahaha.
DumDum
Get on with it, donkey. Go faster. Follow me kids.
Franky
You know on second thought now... I would have to say, that the wisest man in Sugarland is DumDum the Wise. 
Newman
Oh! Great. Where is his house?
Franky
House? What are you new? He don't got ne house... 
Once again Sal and Ray repeat the same thing at the same time.
Sal
No house.... 
RAY
No house.
Franky
Just keep walk, you'll run into him!
Newman
Thank you again... Where can I find DumDum the Wise? Please mamm?
Karen
Just now he went that way. 
Newman
Thanks again!
Newman (CONT'D)
OH... Have you seen DumDum?
Scientist
He went this way. 
Newman
Thanks again. 
Scientist
Run, so you don't miss him. 
Newman
Have you seen DumDum?
bEGGAR
He was here, but he left.
Newman
DumDum? DumDum? DumDum?
Nanna
He was on the roof of the public bath. You won't catch up with him like this. You have to ride a horse or something. 
Newman
Well, I don't have a horse. 
Nanna
Not a problem. He also doesn't have one either. 
Cheerful Old man
Well...? You can ride my cane if you want. 
Newman
Oh, Oh...
CUT TO:
EXT. tOWN SQUARE - lATER
Newman rides the cane as if it were a horse in search of Dumdum.
Newman
What a wise man that Dumdum. Always moving around... Have you seen DumDum?
SMITHY
Yes sir... He went that way. 
Newman
But they said just now he was going that way!
TEAMASTER
Well, he just turned around. What do you want me to tell you... 
NaRRATOR
So, in his search for DumDum, Newman searched all of Sugarland, with no luck, until...
CUT TO:
INT. tea house - lATER
Newman arrives at the tea house to finally find Dumdum.
Newman
DumDum, DumDum. Have you seen him? 
Kid #1
I sure have. 
Newman
Which way was he heading then?
KID #1
Nowhere. He's sitting right over here. 
Newman
Hi there! Finally I have met you, DumDum the Wise. I am Newman. I just arrived in Sugarland, and I have 10 coins. I wanted to buy some merchandise with them to resell. Would you advise me on what to buy please, so I can make some profit?
DumDum
Hahaha. Invest all of your coins in onions, in onions.
Newman
What? But onion? This is crazy, NO?
Newman walks away from Dumdum, then pauses and thinks.
Newman (CONT'D)
(to himself)
Well, he is the wisest man in Sugarland. He must know something. 
NaRRATOR
So, Newman took DumDum's advice and bought up all the onion he could find. 
Newman
Here ye... Great onions. Get you onion here. Ladies, and gentleman. Cooks of all ages! Come and get your onions. 
Kid #2
Hey Newman, my dad said to ask you for an onion, he's making our lunch. 
Newman
Sure. Here's an onion kid. Go and make some onion rings for you and your dad. 
Chef
Newman, get a bag of onion to my food stand right away.
Newman
I am on it. 
Nanna
Get me ten pounds of onions. Choose the best ones for me. 
Newman
I'm bringing it....
Doc
Newman, get 3 bags to our house. Hurry up. 
Newman
On my way. 
Teamaster
Newman, get 10 bags of onions, bring it to my restaurant. 
ChEF
Oh, Newman, hello? What happened to my onions?
Newman
I'm bringing them. I'm bringing them...
NaRRATOR
Dumdum the wise was right. The demand for onion in Sugarland was incredible. Newman was on his way to success.  
CUT TO:
INT. Onion stand - dAY
Young Man
I got the order to the buyer, Newman. 
Newman
What are you so late, you good for nothing? Take 20 bags to the tea house right away. Come on, get a move on!
Kid #2
Newman, my dad asked for one onion please.
Newman
You impolite brat. It's Mister Newman to you. And we don't sell onions one by one anymore.
KID #2
Oh, I see how it is.... But you did when your turban was smaller, didn't you?
Newman
You little brat. My turban is none of your business. Take this. 
Newman throws an onion at the kid. It bounces off the wall and lands in Newman's mouth.
KID #2
(laughing)
Ha, ha, ha... Serves you right.
NaRRATOR
So, slowly the onion season came to an end and there were no onion to be found anywhere, except Newman's store of course. 
Newman
(at narrator)
It's Mr. Newman to you!
NARRATOR
Sorry, Mister Newman. 
teamaSTER
Hahaha. Mister Newman, last year you made a nice profit from the onion market.... No?
Jacob
But, tell us, how did you figure out there would be all that money in it? Tell us... Tell us...
TeamASTER
By the way, Newman, what are you going to sell this year?
Newman
Huh? What? This year? This year! 
Dumdum and some kids are flying a kite.
DUMDUM
Fly, fly, fly....
KIDS
Yay, yay...
Newman
How about we ask DumDum. See what he says. 
Both the tea master and Jacob start laughing.
TEAMASTER
Ha, ha, ha... Ask DumDum? That's funny. 
Newman
Hey, DumDum the Fool. Tell me if you have a moment... what's good to buy this year? So I can make a large profit, huh?
DumDum
Buy watermelons. Watermelons. 
Again the tea master and Jacob break out in laughter.
Jacob
(laughing)
Ha, ha, ha, ha.....
teamaster
(laughing)
Watermelons...
DumDum
Buy watermelon. Just watermelons. Let's go donkey. 
teamaster
(laughing)
What a crazy fool this guy is... He says to buy watermelons. 
NEWMAN
But why are you laughing? It's true. He's pretty smart, I'm telling you...
Newman (CONT'D)
(speaks in his head)
Last year when he said but onion, He was right and I made a lot of money. So, this year I'm going to buy watermelons. 
CUT TO:
EXT. tOWN SQUARE - day
A caravan of camels and donkeys carrying hundreds of watermelons is seen entering the square. They are all headed for Newman's store, where men start unloading them.
Nanna
Mister Newman, why so many watermelons? Have you lost your mind?
Cheerful OlD MAN
That's right, Son. Who stores so many watermelons anyway? Huh?
Karen
He is Mister Newman. If he's going to do it, he must know something we don't. 
NaRRATOR
So, this time around Newman spent all his money on watermelons. But watermelons are way different than onions. How different you say? Come and see for yourselves. 
CUT TO:
EXT. watermelon stand - lATER
Newman
(singing)
What a profit I'm going to make... What a profit... a big big steak.... 
Teenager
Hey buddy, get me a good watermelon, will you? 
The Young Man grabs a watermelon and returns to the table.
Young Man 
Here you go.
Teenager
Better you cut it for me. 
Young Man
Right away sir, here you are sir. 
Teenager
But, this melon's rotten. 
Young Man
Hang on, I'll get you another one immediately.... 
The Young Man grabs another watermelon and heads back to the table.
Young Man (CONT'D)
Howwww bout this one?
Teenager
This one is rotten too. 
Young Man
How bout this....
Teenager
You know what? I don't want any. They have all gone bad. 
Young Man
Wait, this one must be good.
Teenager (O.S.)
That's ok... You keep it for yourself!
Newman
What's going on? What's all the chatter?
Young Man
Boss, some of the watermelons are rotten. 
Newman
Step aside, let me see. This is bad... This one too.  This one is bad too.  Darn! I'm ruined. It's all your fault. Tell me what you did to my watermelons. We must sell these all. You know that huh? Come on! Come on! Come on.... Sell! Sell!
Both Newman and the Young Man start calling out to the town folk desperately trying to sell the watermelons.
Newman (CONT'D)
Get your watermelon! Come on everyone... Get your watermelon! All the watermelons you can eat... come on, buy your watermelons... 
Young Man
Get your watermelon here. Very nice watermelons here... Get your watermelon here....
Cheerful Old MAN
This watermelon here is rotten. And this one too. All your stock is rotten... ha, ha, ha.... 
Newman
No. No. No.
Nanna
This one is no good either. I don't want any. Keep them all for yourself. 
Newman
No, no, wait. I'll cut you another one, please... 
SMITHY
Let me be. I don't want no watermelons... I said let me be...
Newman
Please, please... I don't want... Stay... I'm ruined. I lost everything. I'm broke. It's all over....
Dumdum and the kids as usual riding their imaginary sticks, pass by Newman and his watermelon stand.
DumDum
Come on donkey, faster, faster... 
Fat kid
Hey guys, look at all the watermelons... but why are they all rotten? 
DumDum
Obviously. Watermelons go bad quickly in hot weather. 
Newman
I found you. It's all your fault. If you knew watermelons spoil in warm weather, why did you tell me to buy watermelons. Why did you make such a foolish suggestion? Huh?
DumDum
What do you expect from a fool? This time you called me a fool, so I gave you a foolish answer, ha, ha, ha.... 
Newman
Hmm, you're right. Hey, but how come the first time you gave me a wise answer? Tell me, need to know... I wanna know...
DumDum
Because the first time you called me, DumDum the Wise. That's why I provided you with a wise idea. 
Newman
You're right. It's all my doing. I know....
Kids
Let's go. Come on ride faster..
Kid #2
Mister Newman, my dad asked for a good watermelon for the…
Newman
I'm not Mister Newman. I'm Newman the Fool. Newman the crazy. Here, give me that stick. 
KID #2
Hey...
Newman
Ride faster! GO faster…
KID #2
But, my dad....
NaRRATOR
Oh Dear, it looks like one more person has joined the fools club in Sugarland. Our story now comes to an end, and so does Newman's luck in business. Till another day and another story, Be smart and be safe. 

THE END.
