       [quote]“Mended Sole”
       Middle East, 100 Years B.C
       SOL, fifty years of age, is a shoe mender. He is a nomad and
       travels with his two daughters, PASHA and HELENA. JESS, an
       apprentice, also travels with the group.
       At a primitive market place, AMAL offers SOL a price for a pair
       of sandals but SOL refuses it, saying it is not enough. SOL
       offers to mend AMAL’s broken shoe for the same price as the new
       ones and AMAL agrees.
       At a well, ALI introduces himself to PASHA. PASHA is immediately
       taken by the handsome young man and it is not long before she
       harbours private thoughts of marriage.
       AMAL returns to SOL’s stall and is impressed by SOL’s handiwork
       on his shoe. AMAL turns to leave without paying for the shoe
       mending. SOL stops him and AMAL claims that he had previously
       paid in advance. SOL disagrees and a stand up argument results.
       AMAL storms off leaving SOL embarrassed and angry.
       Sol’s bitterness with the transaction or lack of grows out of
       all proportion. SOL and AMAL have a public argument which leads
       to a fight. AMAL draws his sword but the young man of PASHA’s
       attentions, ALI intervenes to talk reason to the two men. It is
       revealed that Ali is AMAL’s son.
       ALI is not thanked for his intervention. Firstly, AMAL is
       annoyed with ALI for publicly embarrassing him. On approaching
       PASHA, ALI finds himself shunned because he is AMAL’s son. She
       is deeply confused and upset because her heart is set on ALI and
       he feels the same.
       At night, an intruder steals SOL’s tools from the family tent.
       SOL’s livelihood is threatened and he naturally thinks that it
       is AMAL who is guilty of the crime.
       HELENA secretly enters AMAL’s tent to see if she can find the
       tools. JESS follows her and warns her to leave. AMAL catches the
       two of them in the tent. They are bound to a post by AMAL and
       interrogated.
       ALI suggests that AMAL pardon JESS and HELENA. Reluctantly, AMAL
       agrees to let HELENA go but threatens to kill JESS. JESS tells
       AMAL of PASHA AND ALI’s love and of ALI’s selflessness in
       sacrificing his love for AMAL’s petty feud with SOL.
       SOL arrives at AMAL’s tent, sword in hand and challenges AMAL to
       a duel to the death. AMAL refuses the duel and admits that he
       has recently found the coin that he intended giving to SOL in
       payment for the shoe. AMAL had made a mistake. AMAL also
       announces the intended marriage between PASHA and ALI. The two
       announce their marriage and both fathers agree to it.
       SOL and AMAL have resolved their differences. The thief who
       stole the tools is found and the tools returned to SOL. JESS
       agrees to stay on and take over the family business from the
       frail SOL. ALI and PASHA get married.[/quote]
