“JIHAN’S SMILE” PLAY

Jihan is an ordinary child, who woke up one day to discover that she had lost her smile.

The sun set, the moon disappeared, everything lost its color, cold spread throughout the town, and the people got sick.

Jihan searched everywhere but couldn’t find her smile. The people of the town went on a journey to search for the smile, but nobody found it. 

Everyone is waiting for Jihan’s smile to come back.

When she smiles, the sun will rise, the moon will shine, the stars will dance,

color and joy will return to the town.
