This site is as about the inspiration I get, as I am designed to get, where faith and conviction are my two flowers, which receive light when asked to God.
An acting troupe would visit theatres all across the world, but very few were the places, where they got recognition.
One day they decided to hold stage shows. But they were in need of funds, as they were running out of money. So, they called on the Mayor of a famous city to help them out. The mayor heard them out and said-“I can only sponsor a single act. If your act goes south, don’t expect any help from me.”
The troupe
readily agreed. The act was to be held fifteen days later. In the meantime, the
troupe gave their best into their acting practice.
After five
days, posters went out across the city. People were unresponsive towards it. But
the mayor made the pitch and atleast fifty percent of the tickets were booked two
days before the act.
The acting
troupe was hopeful. On the day of the act, the mayor made an appearance, and
like a bloated frog he gave them a speech-“I expect you all to do well.”
The act
went live. By that time ninety percent of the tickets were sold.
They
performed extremely well. The act was called-“The Rose”.
The last
ten minutes were highly emotional. The atmosphere was super charged. When the
show got over, the audience sniffed and cried. At last in between various nose
blowing sounds, the audience gave them a huge round of applause.
The mayor
came up on the stage and said-“I am happy for my troupe. They have done
extremely well. I had selected them. They weren’t even ready to act. The city is
ready to sponsor them for ten more acts.”
The troupe
simply enjoyed the praise and let the mayor exaggerate. The troupe became
famous all across the country. Each of their show was popular and fully booked.
They kept the mayor’s promise and completed ten shows in two months.
The mayor
soon offered twenty more shows. He said that their shows were fruitful for the city.
The troupe politely rejected the offers. They had got much better offers while the mayor seeing much profit, paid them meagre fees. The mayor tried much but he couldn’t convince them.
They thanked the mayor for all his help and performed a last big act as a charity for City funds and went on to perform in other parts of the country and were known all across the world as the “The Troupe.”
