SCRIPT:

(A man and his wife sit in the living room in front of the fireplace)

Woman: What’s wrong with you… you look sad.

Man: I am.  I am definitely not happy.

Woman: Why?  Have I done something wrong?

Man: Oh no.  It’s not you.  It’s our neighbors!

Woman: Since when do you care about our neighbors?

Man: I don’t know… it’s just that they have everything… so they must be very happy.

Woman: You’re right…where do you think they get all that money?

Man: Maybe they are just lucky… and we’re not.

Woman: I would be happier if I could have everything I want!

Man: Me too…I hope a good fairy could come and grant me a wish!

(They hear a noise in the kitchen)

Woman: Did you hear that?

Man: It must be the cat.

Woman: What cat?  We don’t have a cat!

(The man and the woman stand up and go to the kitchen.  They see a fairy)

Man: Oh, who are you?

Woman: You’re so beautiful!

Fairy: You called me… so I came.

Man: Are you really a……?

Fairy: Yes…I am a fairy, and I came to grant you three wishes.

Woman: Three wishes? …Only three wishes?

Man: Be quiet, and let her speak.

Fairy: Yes…only three…but you have to be very careful with what you wish for, because that’s all you’ll get.

(They hear a knock at the front door)

Woman: Who coult it be… at this hour?

Man: Let’s get rid of whoever it is.

( The woman and the man go to the door and open it)

Man: It’s strange…there’s nobody here.

(The man closes the door)

Woman: Como on, let’s go to the kitchen… the fairy is waiting for us.

(They go to the kitchen.  The fairy is not in the kitchen)

Man: Oh, no… she’s gone.

Woman: Anyway…let’s do what she said.  Hmmmm… I want to be rich and beautiful!

Man: Yeah… but even if you’re rich and beautiful… you could get sick, or sad, or you could even die.

Woman: Why do you have to be so negative?  Then, what do you suggest?

Man: I would like to be healthy, happy, and live for many, many years.

Woman: I wouldn’t like to live for many years… being poor!  I really need more than three wishes… Oh, if that fairy could grant me at least twelve of them!

Man: I think we should go to sleep, and tomorrow morning we will decide about the three things we need the most… and then we will make our wish.

Woman: No, of course not!  We have to do it right now.

(The woman looks at the fireplace)

Woman: It’s so cold in here…I’ll add more wood to the fireplace.

(The woman takes a piece of wood from the floor.  She kneels down and places it inside the fireplace)

Woman: That’s much better…I wish I could have a roasted marshmallow.

(A roasted marshmallow falls from the top of the fireplace)

Man: Look what you did… now we only have two more wishes!  I wish you could have the marshmallow on your nose!

(The woman stands up.  She turns around.  She has the marshmallow on her nose.  She touches the marshmallow)

Woman: Argh!  Now, look what you did!  You’re mean… why did you say that?

Man: Oh, I’m sorry… I didn’t think it could happen!

Woman: What  are we going to do now?

Man: Mmmm… I know… I’ll ask for a gold box to cover the marshmallow on your nose.

Woman: Oh no, you have to be kidding!   I’ll tell you something….If you don’t let me make the last wish, I’ll leave you and this house forever!

(The woman runs to the door)

Man: No, don’t leave me!  I love you…It’s fine with me…make the last wish.

Woman: Good… I wish the marshmallow to fall to the floor.

(The marshmallow falls to the floor.  The woman picks it up)

Woman: The fairy was very clever…  she knew we wouldn’t be happy if we had everything we wanted.

Man: Money can not buy happiness… we just have to be thankful and appreciate what God gives us.

Woman: Mmmm… this marshmallow looks delicious… after all… this is what I wished for.  Do you want some?

Man: Sure!

(They eat the marshmallow)

Jeniffer: It´s not fair… you just want me to do what you want; I am a good daughter…

Mother: Let´s see good daughter… how come you don´t have good grades in mathematics?  How come you don´t wash the dishes when I tell you do do it?How come you don´t go to bed early?  You should do what I tell you to do, not when you want to do it.

Voice: Why are you yelling?… tell me how things went with your new mother.

Jeniffer: You exaggerated… I wanted to talk to her, but she wouldn´t let me.

Voice: What do you want then?

Jeniffer: I want her to be nice to me.  I want her to love me and to listen to me.

Voice: Are you sure that´s what you want?

Jeniffer: I am sure!  Come on… do it!

(Mother 2 enters stage)

Mother 2: My dear daughter, my flesh and blood, I missed you so much!  How are you sweetheart, tell me everything you want to tell me, I am all ears… tell me what has happened in your life.

Jeniffer: Oh mother, relax… everything is fine, I just wanted you to be different, but not too different!

Mother 2: Sweetheart, tell me what you want to eat… what do you want to tell me?… tell me everything…

Jeniffer: Oh mother, stop it! I can´t breath!

Mother 2: Do you need some air, sweety?  I´ll turn on the air conditioner.

Jeniffer: No mother, I don´t need some air… it´s just that …

Mother 2: Are you tired?  Sit down, I´ll take off your shoes.  Do you want a massage, sweetheart?

Jeniffer: No mother… you don´t understand… Do you know what?  Go to the store and buy me something to eat, I am hungry.

Mother 2: Sure sweetheart, what do you want to eat?

Jeniffer: Buy whatever you want.   Bye mother!

(Mother2 leaves stage)

Jeniffer: What is wrong with you fairy godmother?  Why do you give me what I don´t want to have!

Voice: Sweety, you told me that you want someone who cares for you, who loves you, and who listens to you.

Jeniffer: Yes I know, but not that much.  Maybe, someone strict, but at the same time that cares for me and loves me.

Voice: Very well… I am giving you what you asked for…

(Mother3 enters the stage looking angry)

Mother 3: Stand straight!  (Jeniffer stands up straight as a soldier) Did you want to eat something?

Jeniffer: (frightened) Yes…

Mother 3: You have to say… yes, mam! yes mam!…

Jeniffer: Yes mam!…

Mother 3: From now on, food will be served at 12 pm., not before or after.  You are not allowed to go out after 10 pm.  You will watch television from 5 to 6 p.m., and you will go to bed at 8 o´clock.  Understood?

Jeniffer: Yes, mam!… but… can I go to bed a little bit later, and can I go out with my friends?

Mother 3: You must follow the rules… there will be no changes… and now you must clean the house, I have to go shopping.  And when I come back I expect everything to be really neat, if not you will be punish… understood?

Jeniffer: Yes, mam!

Mother 3: Oh, and I do all this because I love you.

(Mother 3 gets out of stage)

Jeniffer: I can’t believe it!  What is wrong with you fairy godmother?

Voice: What is your problem?  I give you what you want, and you get angry at me!

Jeniffer: Yes, because it´s not fair.  I trusted you and you are having fun of me…

(Jeniffer cries)

Voice: Listen Jeniffer, I just wanted you to see what you have at home…you don´t have to be looking somewhere else what you already have… now tell me… does your mother care for you?

Jeniffer: Yes, she cooks my favorite food.

Voice: Does she listens to you when you have something to tell her?

Jeniffer: Yes, she´s always there for me.

Voice: Does she punish you?

Jeniffer: Yes, but I don´t like to be punished.

Voice: Look… when we are young we don´t see that our mother is taking care of us, and that is a way of showing love.  When you grow up, then you can take your own decisions.

Jeniffer: Well, yes, but I get mad because I want to go out and she won’t let me.

Voice: Look… being a mother is a full time job.  Even if she is not here right now she prays for you all the time, and she tries hard so you can be comfortable… each one of us has the best mother in the world.

Jeniffer: Yes, I understand, It´s just that sometimes is hard to be a good daughter.  I want my mother back!

Voice: And for her, it´s also hard to be a good mother…

(the cell phone rings and Jeniffer  answers it)

Jeniffer: Hello… mother!  I am happy to hear your voice… yes don´t worry about me, I am fine… are you coming home?  Yes mother, I will clean the house… What do I want to eat?  Yes, pizza it´s fine…  Mom, I want to tell you something…  Thank you for being my mother… you are the best mother in the world… and forgive me for being the way I am with you… I will try to be a better daughter… You are the best, don´t worry… I love you mom… ok, I´ll wait here for you. (she hangs up the phone) Thanks you fairy godmother, you showed me a lesson.

Old Man: I am taking care of my sheep. This is the only thing I can do.

Prince: How old are you?

Old Man: Well, 75 years old.

Prince: Then you must know who is the owner of that magnificent palace.

Old Man: Oh, yes sir. A long time ago… my father told me that the castle is under a spell. He said that a beautiful princess is there, waiting for a prince to wake her up and marry her. But, for now, nobody can go inside.

Prince: Don`t worry old man, I will.

Princess: Ohh, where am I?

Prince: In your palace. You have just woken up from a hundred-year sleep.

Princes: Why did I sleep so much?. Who are you?

Prince: I am a prince, son of a king. I came to wake you up. The good fairy told me the story, and she said that the bad fairy died a long time ago.

Princess: No, no, prince, I don`t remember anything. And now, what?

Prince: Now we will go to my palace. We will get married, and we will invite all the fairies that made you so beautiful, gracious, smart, good…

SCRIPT:

Narrator: Once upon a time there was a kind carpenter named Geppetto.

Geppetto: I feel very lonely …  I have nobody to talk to. I work all day making chairs and tables…..  but now, I will do something different. Something I have never done.

Narrator: So he took a piece of pine wood  and started making a puppet.  He worked all day carefully carving each detail.

Geppetto: How beautiful it  is!  How I wish that he were a real boy. I have always wanted to have a son… your name will be Pinocchio.

Narrator: That night when Geppetto was sleeping, a Blue Fairy came to his house.  He stared at the puppet and said.

Blue Fairy: Pinnochio, it is true, you are beautiful… and with my magic wand I will give you life.

Narrator: Then the puppet opened his eyes and started moving slowly.  And the fairy added.

Blue Fairy: Pinocchio, I want you to be a brave, honest and generous boy… so every time you tell a lie, your nose and your ears will grow, and when you tell the truth, they will be normal again.

Narrator: Then the fairy disappeared.  Next morning when Geppetto woke up he heard somebody calling him.

Pinocchio: Father… father

Geppetto: Who´s calling me?

Pinocchio: It’s me… Pinocchio.  Don’t you recognize me?

Geppetto: It seems like I am dreaming…  Finally I have a son!

Narrator: A few days later Geppetto started thinking about Pinocchio´s education.

Geppetto: Pinocchio, you need to go to school.

Pinocchio: But… father… I want to be with you always.

Geppetto: So do I, Pinocchio, but you have to learn.  I want you to be an intelligent boy.  I can not teach you many thing that you can only learn in school.

Pinocchio: Then, I will go to school!  I will study hard so that I can have a good job and earn a lot of money.

Geppetto: We don’t need the money, Pinocchio.  We are happy the way we live.

Pinocchio: I know father, but I want to buy you a coat.

Geppetto: Very well, but now, go to school, it’s getting late.

Pinocchio: Good-bye father!

Geppetto: Good-bye, Pinocchio!

Narrator: When Pinocchio was on his way to school he heard a man shouting.

Man: Come in!  Ladies and Gentlemen!  Come and see out puppet show!

Pinocchio: A puppet show?  Wow… puppets like me… I have to go and see them.

Narrator: So Pinocchio instead of going to school, he went to see the puppet show.

Pinocchio: Oh, I am so happy that I want to dance with them.

Narrator: And he climbed onto the stage and started dancing.  But soon he realized that they were not real puppets like him.

Pinnochio: I can dance and sing better than these puppets and I don’t need strings like they do.

Puppet Master: Get off my stage!

Narrator: Then when the audience saw that he didn’t have strings they started shouting.

Audience: Hooray, hooray!

Puppet Master: They liked him! … boy, do you want to be in our show?  You can earn a lot of money!

Pinocchio: No, because I have to go to school.

Puppet Master: Then take these coins.  You danced very well.

Pinocchio: Thank you, sir.

Narrator: And Pinocchio left the theater and started walking to school.  Then he heard someone calling him.

Cat: Well, well, well! …  are you in a hurry, little boy?

Pinocchio: Yes, I am going to buy a coat for my father.

Cat: Oh, come on… that’s not enough money to buy a coat.  Wouldn’t you like to have more?

Pinocchio: Yes, but how?

Cat: That’s easy.  If you plant your coins in the Field of Miracles, a plant will grow and it will give you a lot of money.

Pinocchio: And where is that field?

Fox: We will take you there.

Narrator: So the cat and the fox, who in fact were two liars, took Pinocchio to a far away place.

Pinocchio: Is this the place?

Fox and Cat: Yes it is.  This the place where you will give us your money!

Pinocchio: But you said…

Cat: I know what I said!

Fox: Didn´t they tell you not to trust strangers?

Narrator: Then they took Pinocchio’s money, tied him to a tree, and left him there all by himself.

Pinocchio: Help!  Help!  Somebody help me!  Please!

Narrator: But nobody heard him. Then the Blue Fairy appeared but Pinochio could not tell her the truth.

Blue Fairy: And where did you loose the coins?

Pinocchio: When I was crossing the river.

Narrator: Then Pinocchio felt strange.

Pinocchio: What is happening to me?  Why is my nose growing?

Narrator: And he started crying.

Blue Fairy: I once told you that every time you tell a lie, your nose will grow and when you tell the truth, it will shrink.  Now, go straight home and don’t stop for any reason.

Pinocchio: Thank you good fairy, I will never lie again.  You can be sure of that!

Blue Fairy: I hope so, Pinocchio.

Narrator: When Pinocchio was on his way home, he met two boys that were laughing and playing.

Pinocchio: What is happening?

Boy 1: We are going to Fun Land.

Pinocchio: What kind of place is that?  I never heard of that place?

Boy 2: It’s a place where there’s a party every day!  There are no schools and no teachers.

Boy 1: Do you want to come with us?

Narrator: Then the Blue fairy appeared.

Blue Fairy: Didn’t you promise you would go to school?

Pinocchio: Yes, I have been there.

Narrator: And then his ears started changing.  Now he had donkey ears.

Pinocchio: Uh, uh… I am sorry… I lied again.

Blue Fairy: Go home, Pinnochio!

Pinocchio: Yes, Blue Fairy.

Narrator: He went home, but Geppetto wasn´t there.  Then he heard someone calling him.

Neighbor: Pinocchio!  Pinocchio!

Pinocchio: What´s wrong?

Neighbor: Pinocchio, I was at the beach and I saw Geppetto going into the water, when suddenly a big whale swallowed him!

Pinocchio: Let’s go, I have to save him!

Narrator: Both went to the beach.

Pinocchio: You stay here, I will go into the water and find that whale.

Narrator: When the whale appeared again, it swallowed him too. When he was inside the whale he saw Geppetto and both hugged.

Pinocchio: We have to get out of here.  We will burn a fire so the whale opens its mouth.

Narrator: And they did.  When they were out of the whale’s mouth they swam towards the beach.  Then the Blue Fairy appeared.

Blue Fairy: Geppetto, your dream will come true!

Narrator: And the Blue Fairy touched Pinocchio with her magic wand.

Pinocchio: Look at me father!  I am a real boy!

SCRIPT:

AT  THE FARM

Narrator: Dorothy was a little girl who lived in a farm in Kansas with her uncle Henry, her aunt Em, and a little black dog called Toto.  One day Dorothy was playing outside with her dog, when her uncle said.

Uncle Henry: A tornado is coming!

Narrator: Aunt Em went to the door, and when she saw the dark sky she knew they were in danger.

Aunt Em: Dorothy!  Come inside and go to the basement!

Narrator: Toto and Dorothy went inside, but Toto got scared and hid under the bed, while aunt Em opened the basement door and went inside. Meanwhile, Dorothy tried to get Toto out from under the bed.

Dorothy: Toto, Toto come here!

Narrator: Suddenly the house started to shake.  Dorothy fell down to the floor, and Toto jumped into her arms.   The house started to spin a few times, and to raise slowly into the air like a balloon, and they were taken miles and miles away from their home.  Dorothy decided to calm down.  She went to her bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. After a few hours, the house stopped spinning, and she was awaken by a loud noise.

AT AN UNKNOWN PLACE

Dorothy: What happened?  The house is not moving anymore… Come Toto, let’s go outside.

Narrator: When she went outside she was astonished.

Dorothy: Oh, this place is so beautiful!

Narrator: Then some people came to her.

North Witch: Welcome to our country.  We want to thank you for destroying the Evil Witch.

Dorothy: I haven’t destroyed anybody.

Woman 1: Well, your house did.  Look over there!

Narrator: Under the house Dorothy could see a pair of legs with a pair of beautiful red shoes.

Dorothy: Oh no!   What can we do?

North Witch: There’s nothing we can do.

Dorothy: But… who was she?

Man 1: She was the East Evil Witch.  She kept prisoners the people from this city.  They were her slaves day and night, and now they are free.

Dorothy: And who are you?

North Witch: I am the North Witch.

Dorothy: Are you a real witch?

North Witch: Of course.  But I am a good witch, but I am not as powerful as the Evil Witch was.

Woman 2: Look over there?

Man 2: Her feet are gone!

Woman 1: She left only her red shoes.

North Witch: She was so old that her feet dried  with the sun. The shoes are yours…you can use them.

Narrator: Then she took the shoes and gave them to Dorothy, who put them on.

Dorothy: I want to go home.  Can you show me the way to Kansas?

North Witch: To the East and to the South there are great deserts and nobody dares to cross them.

Man 1: And to the West there´s an evil witch.   If you go there, you would be her slave.

North Witch: I live North, where there’s  a great desert.  So…  we can’t help you.

Narrator: Dorothy started to cry.

North Witch: But.. what is your name, dear?

Dorothy: My name is Dorothy, and this is Toto.

Narrator: Suddenly the Witch of the West appeared, and said to Dorothy.

Witch of The West: What have you done!  You destroyed my sister!

Narrator: Then the North Witch said.

North Witch: Get away from her!  You can´t harm her!

Witch of the West: I want my sister’s shoes!  Give them to me!

North Witch: Now they belong to her!  Go away!

Witch of the West: I will leave… but I’ll find you later… I promise!  Ha, ha, ha, ha

Narrator: And the Witch of the West disappeared.

Narrator: Then the North Witch said to Dorothy.

North Witch: You must go to Emerald City.  The Wizard of Oz might help you.

Dorothy: Where is that city?

North Witch: It’s in the middle of the country.  The Wizard of Oz rules the city.

Dorothy: Is he a good man?

North Witch: He’s a good wizard, but I have never seen him.

Dorothy: How can I get to that city?

North Witch: Just follow the yellow brick road.

Woman 1: Follow the yellow brick road.

Woman 2: Follow the yellow brick road.

Man 1: Follow the yellow brick road.

Man 2: Follow the yellow brick road.

Dorothy: Are you coming with me?

Good Witch: No, I can’t. When you get to Oz, tell him your story and ask for help.

Narrator: And the Good Witch disappeared.

Dorothy: Oh, she’s gone. Toto, we have to go.

Narrator: And Dorothy and Toto started walking through the yellow brick road.  After a while they heard someone talking.

Scarecrow: I need a brain!  I need a brain!

Dorothy: Did you hear that, Toto?  Who is talking?

Scarecrow: It´s me.  Look this way.

Narrator: Then Dorothy saw a big corn field, where there was a Scarecrow talking to her.

Dorothy: Did you say that you need a brain?

Scarecrow: Yes, I only have straw.

Dorothy: And, how can you talk?

Scarecrow: I don’t know.

Dorothy: Well, I cannot get you a brain, but if you come with me to visit the Wizard of Oz, I am sure he will give you a brain.

Scarecrow: I will go with you.

Narrator: So Dorothy, Toto and the Scarecrow kept walking.  After a  while they saw  a Tin Man beside the road.

Tin Man: Oil can!  oil can!

Dorothy: Oil can?

Scarecrow: I think he´s trying to say that he wants some oil.

Dorothy: Look, there´s an oil can in the floor.  Maybe that’s what he wants.

Scarecrow: Where do you want me to put the oil?

Tin Man: In my chin…  in my chin.

Scarecrow: Here.. I´ll put some drops in your chin.

Tin Man: Oh now I can talk again!  But I need some in my arms, too.

Scarecrow: Let me put some in your arms.

Tin Man: I also need oil in my legs and in my feet.

Dorothy: Let me put some, too.

Tin Man: Perfect!  Now I can talk and move again.  Now my problem is that I don’t have a heart.

Dorothy: You don’t have a heart?

Tin Man: No, I want a heart.  I want to feel emotions… I want to know what love is.

Dorothy: Well, come with us then.  We are going to see the Wizard of Oz, he will help us!

Narrator: And Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man continued their journey through the yellow brick road.  After a few hours, Toto started barking.

Dorothy: Toto, stop barking!

Toto: Arf!  Arf!  Arf!

Narrator: A scared Lion was hiding behind the bushes beside the road.

Dorothy: Come here Lion.  Toto will not harm you.

Narrator: The Lion came out from his hiding place.  He was crying.

Dorothy: But…  why are you crying?

Lion: I am crying because I wished that I had courage.  I was scared with your little dog.

Dorothy: I know.  I don’t understand.  We Know that you are the king of the jungle.

Lion: I know.

Tin Man: Why don’t you come with us to visit the Wizard of Oz.  Maybe he can also help you!

Lion: Yes, I need courage, and I want to get it.  Let´s go!

Narrator: So everybody decided to go visit the Wizard of Oz hoping to make their wishes come true.  When they finally arrived a guard opened the door.

AT THE PALACE

Guard: What do you want?  Go away, no one is allowed to get even near the palace.

Dorothy: Oh, please open the door.  We have come to look for the Wizard of Oz.  He´s the only one who can help us.

Guard: Who sent you here?

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin man, Lion: The North Witch… look at her shoes!

Narrator: The Guard looked at the shoes, and then he said.

Guard: Let me see what I can do.  Wait here!

Narrator: After a while the guard finally opened the door.

Guard: Come in.  Go straight through the hall, then turn to the right.  You will find a red door, open it, and there you will find the Wizard.

Dorothy: Oh, thank you.

Narrator: They entered the palace,  went through the long hall, then they got to the red door; they opened it,  and as soon as they were inside the Wizard appeared behind a big mirror that was in the wall.

Wizard: What do you want!  How do you dare to come to my palace and bother me!  I hope it is important what you have to say, otherwise you will regret it.

Dorothy: Oh, no..

Lion: Please Wizard…

Scarecrow: What we have to say..

Tin Man: It´s really important!

Wizard: Talk then.  I am wasting my time.

Narrator: And they explained what they needed.

Wizard: Very well.  I will help you, but with one condition.  First you have to destroy the most cruel witch in the country… the Witch of the West… then your problems will be solved.

Tin Man: How?

Wizard: When you destroy the witch…You will get your brain… and you will get courage… and you will have your heart!

Dorothy: And me?

Wizard: Then, and only then,  the North Witch will tell you how you can go home.  Now… go!

Narrator: They left the palace and started their journey looking for the evil witch.  After a long walk they arrived to a beautiful garden.

Dorothy: Oh, this garden is so beautiful…  and those flowers are so pretty… and the smell is so fragrant… that I really want to sleep.

Narrator: And Dorothy fell asleep.

Lion: Me too… I feel so relax…..  (falls asleep)

Tin Man: Ohh, I don’t even feel my arms… I am so sleepy….  (falls asleep)

Scarecrow: No!  You can´t go to sleep now.  We have things to do… (falls asleep)

Narrator: While they were sleeping they were captured by some evil flying monkeys that were sent by the Witch of the West.   After a few hours they woke up.

AT THE WEST WITCH´S PALACE

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion: Where are we?

Witch of the West: You are in my palace!  And now… take off my sister’s shoes!

Dorothy: No!  I will not give them to you!

Witch of the West: I am warning you! …If you don’t give me the shoes you will never  see the light of day again! Ha, ha, ha, ha

Scarecrow: Let’s get her, that’s what we are here for!

Witch of the West: Ha, ha, ha, you will be easily destroyed….   I cast a spell on you…. tricky tash, tricky mash, turn this piece of straw into ash!  Burn!

Dorothy: Stop it!

Narrator: Then Dorothy saw  a bucket of water that was on the floor, took it, and threw it at the burning scarecrow, but some of the water spilled the witch.

Witch of the West: No!  No! What have you done, I am melting… melting… mel…. Oh, oh,oh…

Narrator: Dorothy didn’t know that water would make the witch disappeared.

Tin Man: Dorothy, you destroyed her!

Dorothy: Now that we have destroyed the evil witch, we will have what we need.  Scarecrow will get his brain!

Scarecrow: And the Tin Man will get his heart!

Tin Man: And the Lion will have courage!

Dorothy: And me?  How can I go home?

Narrator: Suddenly the North Witch appeared.

Dorothy: Oh, Good Witch, please help me!  Now everybody has what they wished for, except me.  Help me go home, please.

North Witch: Oh Dorothy, if you only knew!  The power is inside you.  It has been inside you all along.  The shoes that you are wearing can take you anywhere you wish to go.

Dorothy: But… how can my shoes take me home?

North Witch: All you have to do is tap your heels together three times, and say to yourself:  ” There’s no place like home”… “There’s no place like home”… ”There’s no place like home”.

Dorothy: Oh, but first I have to say goodbye to my friends.   Oh, my good friends I will miss you so much!

Scarecrow: I will miss you too.  And thanks to you my brain will help me think of you and never forget you.

Tin Man: And me, I will keep you in my heart.

Lion: And I will always have courage to fight in your name.

North Witch: Are you ready?

Dorothy: Yes.

North Witch: Now close your eyes and do as I told you.

Dorothy: There’s no place like home… There’s no place like home…  There’s no place like home.

AT THE FARM

Narrator: And Dorothy woke up in her bed.

Dorothy: Where am I?

Uncle Henry : You’re home!

Dorothy: I am home!  It was all a dream.  Oh, dear uncle and aunt… I love you so much… I thought I would never see you again.

Uncle Henry and Aunt Em: (hugging Dorothy) We love you too!

SCRIPT:

Narrator: Once upon a time there was a rich farmer who had a thrifty wife. She used to go out and gather all the little bits of wool which she could find on the hillsides, and bring them home.

Wife: Now that my family has gone to bed,  I will sit down and card the wool and spin it into yarn, then I will weave the yarn into cloth to make garments for my children.

Narrator:But all this work made her feel very tired, so that one night, sitting in her bedroom she thought.

Wife: Oh, how I wish that some one would come from far or near, from land or sea, to help me!

Narrator: No sooner had the words left her lips than she heard some one knocking at the door.

Wife: Who is there?

Fairy 1: Tell Quary, good housewife.  Open the door to me. As long as I have you’ll get.

Narrator: She opened the door and there on the threshold stood a strange, little woman, dressed in a green gown and wearing a white cap on her head.

Wife: Who are you?

Narrator: Without a word the little fairy ran past her, and sat in the spinning-wheel.  The good housewife shut the door, but just then she heard another knock.

Wife: Who is there?

Fairy 2: Tell Quary, good housewife. Open the door to me,  As long as I have you’ll get.

Narrator: And when she opened the door there was another strange, little fairy , in a lilac frock and a green cap, standing on the door.  She, too, ran into the house without waiting to say

Fairy 2:   By your leave.

Narrator: Then she picked up the distaff, began to put some wool on it.  Then before the housewife could get the door shut, a funny little manikin, with green trousers and a red cap, came running in, and followed the tiny women into the kitchen, took a handful of wool, and began to card it. Another wee, wee woman followed him, and then another tiny manikin, and another, and another, until it seemed to the good housewife that all the fairies and pixies were coming into her house.

Manikin 1: I will hang this big pot over the fire to boil water to wash the wool that is dirty.

Manikin 2: And I will card it.

Manikin 3: I will turn it into yarn.

Manikin 4: And I will weave the yarn into webs of cloth.

All Manikins: Splash! Splash! Clack! Clack!

Fairies 1 and 2: We are hungry!  We need something to eat.

Wife: Here take this bread.

Narrator: The fairies ate the bread as fast as they could.

Fairies: We need some more!

Wife: I have to tell my husband about this.  I can´t handle it anymore.

Narrator: Then she went into the next room to wake her husband.

Wife: Husband, wake up, wake up!

Narrator: But she could not wake him.

Wife: Oh, he seems to be bewitched.  I have to get out of here.

Narrator: While the frairies were still eating she went the cottage of the Wise Man who lived a mile away.

Wife: Please, open the door.

Narrator: When the woman was inside the house she told him the whole story.

Wise Man: Foolish woman, this is a lesson to never pray for things you don´t need! Before your husband can be loosed from the spell, the Fairies must be got out of the house and the fulling-water, which they have boiled, must be thrown over him. Hurry to the little hill that lies behind your cottage, climb to the top of it, and set the bushes on fire; then you must shout three times: `Burg Hill’s on fire!’ Then all the little Fairies will run out to see if this be true, because they live under the hill. When they are all out of the cottage, go into the house as quickly as you can, and turn the kitchen upside down. Turn upside down everything the Fairies have worked with, everything their fingers have touched will open the door to them, and will let them in.

Wife: I will do as you say.  I have to hurry.

Narrator: She climbed to the top of the little hill back of her cottage, set the bushes on fire.

Wife: Burg Hill’s on fire!  Burg Hill’s on fire! Burg Hill’s on fire!

Fairies: Listen, the hill is on fire!  Run, run, run.

Narrator: In the confusion the good housewife slipped away, and ran as fast as she could to her cottage.

Wife: Now I have to turn  everything upside down.  I have to take off the band of the spinning-wheel, and twist the head of the distaff, lift the pot of fulling-water off the fire, and turned the room topsy-turvy, and threw down the carding-combs.

Narrator: At that moment the Fairies returned, and knocked at the door.

Fairies: Good housewife! let us in.

Wife: The door is shut and bolted, and I will not open it.

Fairies: Good spinning-wheel, get up and open the door.

Spinning-Wheel: I can´t my band is broken.

Fairies: Kind distaff, open the door for us.

Distaff: That would I gladly do, but I cannot walk, my head is turned the wrong way.

Fairies: Weaving-loom, have pity, and open the door.

Weaving-Loom: I am all topsy-turvy, and cannot move.

Fairies: Fulling-water, open the door.

Fulling Water: I am off the fire, and all my strength is gone.

Fairies: Oh! Is there nothing that will come to our aid, and open the door?

Bread: I will.

Narrator: The bread that was left toasting stood up and started going quickly across the floor.

Wife: Oh no! You are not going anywhere.

Narrator: She took the bread in her hands and since it was only half-baked it fell and broke in the cold floor.

Fairy 1: Let´s get in through the windows.

Narrator: The Firies went into the room where the good housewife’s husband was sleeping, and they swarmed upon his bed and tickled him until he tossed about and muttered as if he had a fever.

Wife: I remembered what the Wise Man tolde me about the fulling-water. I have to run to the kitchen and get the pot.

Narrator: Then she carried the pot and threw it over the bed where her husband was.

Husband: What happened to me?

Narrator: Then he jumped out of bed, ran across the room and opened the door, and the Fairies vanished. And they have never been seen from that day to this.

Stepmother: Cinderella, give me my necklace!… No, not that one! the one that has diamonds, I look better with it…. Perfect!

Cinderella: Yes, mam.

Nicole: Cinderella, bring me my shoes! … and you have to comb my hair!

Latasha: Cinderella, bring me my hat!

Stepmother: Cinderella, bring me my purse, the white one, not the blue one!

Cinderella: Yes, mam.

Stepmother: Hurry up, we can`t be late for the ball.

Cinderella: Here`s your mirror, Nicole. And here`s your purse Latasha.

Narrator: Cinderella did everything she was told to do. And finally they left in a beautiful pink carriage, and Cinderella sat down in the floor watching them leave, while crying sadly.

Cinderella: Oh, I wish I could go, too.

Narrator: Then she heard a sweet voice.

Fairy Godmother: Good evening.

Cinderella: Who are you?

Fairy Godmother: I am your Fairy Godmother, and I have come today because I think that you need my help.

Cinderella: Oh, Fairy Godmother…

Fairy Godmother: I can`t stand seeing you so sad and so unfairly treated. Let`s see what my magic wand can do today!… Magic wand, I want the most beautiful dress in the world, the most precious jewelry, a coach, six horses, a coachman, and a groom… oh and a pair of glass slippers.

Narrator: Suddenly a white sparkling dust covered Cinderella from head to toe, and when it disappeared, she looked wonderful.

Cinderella: Oh, Fairy Godmother, how beautiful dress! And this glass slippers… I loved them!

Fairy Godmother: Now, you are ready for the ball… but… there is one thing you must know. The magic will last only till the last stroke of midnight. At twelve o´clock everything will disappear, except for the glass slippers, which I give them to you, so try to be at home by that time.

Cinderella: Oh, I will remember… thank you so much. You make me very happy.

Fairy Godmother: Now, go to the ball, and have fun… and remember… at twelve.

Narrator: And the Fairy Godmother disappeared. Then Cinderella went inside the carriage. The carriage was going so fast that it seemed to go flying. When she arrived to the palace, she entered the ball room, and everybody turned around to look at her.

Maiden 1: Who is she?

Maiden 2: I don`t know.

Narrator: Even the King and Queen couldn`t stop looking at her.

King: Who is she?

Queen: She`s so beautiful!

Narrator: The prince looked at her astonished by her beauty, and immediately he fell in love with her. Then he asked her to dance.

Prince: Would you like to dance?

Cinderella: Oh, yes, your highness.

Narrator: While they were dancing, her stepmother and stepsisters kept looking at the couple.

Stepmother: Who is she?

Latasha: I have never seen her before.

Nicole: Look at him! He looks happy!

Narrator: Meanwhile,the prince told Cinderella.

Prince: Thank you for the dance.

Cinderella: You are welcome, your highness.

Narrator: Then she heard the clock.

Cinderella: I must go.

Prince: But, you have just arrived.

Cinderella: Good bye! I must go!

Narrator: And she started running

Prince: No! Stop!

Narrator: While Cinderella was still running the magic disappeared, and her dress turned to rags and the coach, horses, coachman, and groom disappeared. The prince followed her, until he lost her.

Prince: I lost her… how will I see her again… if I don`t even know her name.

Narrator: Then he saw something in the floor.

Prince: But… what is this? Oh, it`s one of her glass slippers. I will look for her throughout the kingdom.

Narrator: And he did. He tried the shoe in every maiden there was in the kingdom. Some of them fit into the shoe, but they didn`t have the other one. Then one day he arrived to Cinderella`s palace. As soon as he arrived Latasha and Nicole tried on the shoe, but their feet were very big, so it was useless.

Prince: Are there other young maidens here?

Stepmother: No

Narrator: As the prince was getting ready to leave, one of his servants saw that Cinderella was watching them behind the stairs.

Servant: Come here, young girl, and try on this shoe.

Latasha: But… she can`t… she didn`t even go to the ball.

Nicole: Besides, she is our maid. The prince would not want her.

Servant: Come here, girl, try it on.

Narrator: Then Cinderella tried on the shoe, which fit her perfectly.

Prince: You will be my bride! Let`s go to my palace.

Cinderella: Oh, yes, your highness.

Narrator: They went to the palace where they got married, and were happy for many, many, many years.
