individual ideas development

I chose Mercury and the Woodman as my fable story and i start to make it modern.

First idea that i had was that a businessman drop his handphone into the bin. but i thought that it did not really work out.

The second idea was a child who ate ice cream and drops his penny into the drain. but i did not really like it because it is hard to find a child as a cast and is hard to film the drain.

The last idea I prefer the most. Is about the same concept but just portray in a different way.

The story goes like this

There was an auntie who won 3rd price for lottery ticket. On the way to go collect her money, she sneeze and accidentally threw away the ticket with the used tissue. She panicked and start trying to find way to take the ticket out.

A beggar near by saw what was happening. He then went over to help her out. the first ticket he picked up, was the first price ticket. but auntie said it wasn't hers. 2nd time the beggar picked up was the 2nd price ticket. she still say it wasn't hers. the 3rd time was the ticket that auntie threw in. She thank him with excitement. because of her honesty, the beggar gave her the first 2 tickets too.

She was so excited that she went to tell her friends at during a gossip session at the coffee shop. 1 of her friend thought that is a good idea and try to buy the same no. and do the same thing.

But once the beggar brought up the first ticket, she admitted that is hers. the beggar was angry with her dishonesty and tore the ticket infront of her and walk away.
