Sample Text:
Music 6 Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf
(Wolf suddenly jumps out from hiding, bringing cheerful singing to an abrupt halt)
Wolf: (Grinning) Ha! Not so full of yourselves now, huh?
Little Pig 1: (Hiding behind Little Pig 3) You don’t frighten me!
Little Pig 2: (Hiding behind Little Pig 3) You can’t bully us!
Wolf: (Laughing) Oh really?
(Wolf lets out a huge growl and all three little pigs ‘run for their lives’)
Wolf: (Laughing) Whose afraid now?
Narrator: Now, that really wasn’t very nice of you!
Wolf: (Repeating, incredulously) Nice of me? Whoever heard of a nice Big Bad Wolf?
Narrator: But you’re not really big and bad, are you?
Wolf: Of course not! But (pointing to the audience) I have to keep this lot happy, don’t I?
Narrator: You mean, being big and bad is what is expected of you?
Wolf: Of course! It’s all an act!
Narrator: (Clapping) Well, you’re very convincing! And (looking at audience) I for one am mighty relieved he’s not as bad as you all think he is!
(Wolf shakes hands with narrator, growls savagely at audience, and exits)
Narrator: Ah! I do so love happy endings! Me still being alive, that is!
