Announcer: Its time for your favorite cooking show filmed right by the Mediterranean Sea. The Phoenicians Cooking show

Host: (enters with a big exaggerated smile) Hello and welcome to The Phoenicians Cooking Show. Today we will be making purple dye. Here are the things you need to make this dye. A murex snail, something to crush the snail, something to mix the snail, well you get the picture. Okay let’s start. First take the murex snail and something to crush it. Also get a bowl to crush it in.

(Host takes hammer and is ready to crush the snail)

Murex snail: (said as the host is dramatically and slowly smashing the hammer) noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

(Suddenly screen goes blank and you here a faint beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep)

Announcer: sorry but this is too violent for children so for your convenience we skipped to the next step, and now back to our show

(Goes back to the show you see a dead snail in a bowl oozing purple blood)

Host: As you can see the Murex snail produces a magnificent purple, which is quite rare for a dye. This color is usually used for royalty. Anyway next we stir the snail till it gets extremely liquidy but before you do that you should probably take out the shell.

(Host starts stirring the snail)

Announcer: several moments later

Host: well as you can see our snail has turned into a beautiful dye. This dye can be used for…

(Trader comes in and interrupts)

Trader: uhh hello, you promised me some dye. Do you have it yet?

Host: (to trader) oh yes here. (Gives him the bole full of dye.) Like I was saying before I was interrupted this dye can be used for trade. Because the color purple in a dye is so rare it is worth a lot. Well that’s all the time we have today see you next time on…..
