(The scene opens in the palace of the King. Elijah, a young man with a kind face, is standing before the King's throne.)
King: Elijah, I have a special task for you. I want you to spread good news to the people of the city. They have been suffering under my rule for too long, and I want to show them that I care.
Elijah: Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best to spread your message.
King: Good. I have given you a special gift to help you on your mission. (hands Elijah a small bag of coins) Use these to buy food and drink for the people, and to show them that I am willing to help.
Elijah: Thank you, Your Majesty. (takes the bag of coins and exits the palace)
(Cut to the streets of the city. Elijah is walking through the crowded market, carrying a large basket of food and drink. He approaches a group of people who are gathered around a street vendor.)
Elijah: Good day, good people. I bring you a message of hope and joy from the King. He wants to help you, and he has sent me to spread the word.
People: (skeptical) What do you mean? The King has never done anything to help us before.
Elijah: That may be true, but he wants to change that. He has given me this food and drink to share with you, and he wants you to know that he is willing to listen to your concerns and help you in any way he can.
People: (unconvinced) We'll believe it when we see it.
Elijah: (smiling) I understand your skepticism, but I assure you, the King is sincere in his desire to help. (pulls out a small piece of parchment from his pocket) Here is a letter from the King himself, explaining his plan to help the people of the city.
People: (curious) Let us see it.
(Elijah hands them the letter, and they begin to read it. As they read, their faces begin to change, and they start to look at Elijah with newfound hope and trust.)

People: (excited) Really? That would be wonderful!
Elijah: Yes, it's true. The King is committed to making life better for all of us.
People: (cheering) Thank you, Elijah! Thank you, King!

Elijah: Thank you, Your Majesty. I am just glad that I could help spread the good news.
King: (smiling) Yes, you have done a good job. But remember, the good news is not just about me or my kingdom. It's about the hope and joy that we can bring to others.
Elijah: (nodding) I understand, Your Majesty. And I will continue to spread the good news, not just for you, but for the sake of all people.
King: (smiling) I have no doubt that you will. (stands up and walks over to Elijah) And I have one more task for you.
Elijah: (curious) What is it, Your Majesty?
