SCRIPT:

 

NARRATOR: Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there lived a donkey with a heart as big as his ears. One sunny day, as he trotted along the forest path, fate had a prickly surprise in store for him.

DONKEY: (Hopping around) Oh, what a nuisance! It feels like there’s a bed of roses under my hoof, but I can’t see any! Ouch!

NARRATOR: The donkey winced in pain, but being a tough one, he tried to be brave.

DONKEY: (Trying to be brave) I won’t cry…I won’t…Okay, maybe just a little whimper…

NARRATOR: But before he knew it, tears were streaming down his furry cheeks.

DONKEY: (Crying) Boo-hoo! Why do thorns have to exist in this world?

NARRATOR: Just then, lurking in the shadows, a cunning wolf observed the distressed donkey with keen interest.

WOLF: Ah, what do we have here? A tasty-looking donkey in distress? How delightful!

NARRATOR: The donkey, spotting the wolf, felt a shiver run down his spine.

DONKEY: (Trembling) Oh no, not a wolf! What will I do? I can’t outrun him with this thorn in my hoof!

NARRATOR: Gathering his courage, the donkey decided to take a leap of faith and address the wolf.

DONKEY: (Nervously) Um, Mr. Wolf, sir… Could you please help me?

WOLF: (Amused) Help you? Why, pray tell, should I help you, dear donkey?

DONKEY: (Desperately) Because you see, I’m in pain, and you have such big, strong teeth… Maybe you could, uh, help me get rid of this thorn?

WOLF: (Feigning innocence) Me? Help you? What’s in it for me?

DONKEY: (Quickly) Oh, well, once you help me, you can, um, have a nice meal… Me!

WOLF: (Pretending to consider) Hmm, tempting offer. But why would I eat you if you’re already injured?

DONKEY: (Thinking quickly) Because… because I’m not long for this world! Yes, that’s it. So, if you’re going to eat me, you might as well make me comfortable first, right?

WOLF: (Grinning) Crafty, aren’t you? Very well, I’ll lend you a paw…er, I mean, a tooth.

NARRATOR: With a mischievous glint in his eye, the wolf carefully approached the donkey’s hoof.

DONKEY: (Scheming) As soon as he’s close enough, I’ll give him a surprise he won’t forget!

WOLF: (Gently) Hold still now. This might pinch a little.

NARRATOR: The donkey braced himself, ready to execute his plan.

DONKEY: (Thinking) Any moment now…

WOLF: (Surprised) There! The thorn is out!

NARRATOR: Before the wolf could react, the donkey delivered a swift kick with his hind legs.

DONKEY: (Triumphantly) Take that, Mr. Wolf!

NARRATOR: The wolf yelped in pain as the donkey’s hooves made contact with his snout, breaking his teeth.

WOLF: (Whimpering) My teeth… My beautiful teeth!

NARRATOR: And with that, the donkey dashed away, leaving the wolf to rue the day he underestimated the bravery and cunning of a humble donkey.
