«Кукольный театр на английском языке»
Zilya:
The name of our school theatre is Future Kids theatre. Today we want to show you a puppet play named Raining Fruit. We hope it will be interesting for you.
Monkey: I am hungry. I have no power to sway this old tree. I am hungry
(Enter Elephant.)
Elephant: Wow. It must be nice…swinging in the trees, taking in tropical vistas, not a care in the world. Meanwhile, I’m stuck down here on the ground like a chump. I’ll never be able to do that in a million years. No sir.
Monkey: Not with that attitude!
Elephant: It’s not my attitude. It’s physics.
Monkey: I don’t know. Try putting that flexible trunk of yours to work. I watch you grab on to stuff all the time. You could get in some sweet if only we could find a tree strong enough to support your weight.
Elephant: That’s a big “If”. Almost as big as me.
Monkey:
Nonsense. See? (Points.) Right over there is the oldest tree in the jungle. It’s been here for thousands of years, through fires and hurricanes – everything that Mother Nature could dish out. That should definitely hold you.
Elephant: You really think so?
Monkey: Oh, sure. The only thing between you and your dreams is you.
Elephant: What are those wonderful plump fruits all clustered in the leaves?
Monkey: No idea. Maybe you should go up there and find out.
Elephant: Alright. Here goes nothing.
(Exit Elephant. Monkey turns to a udience and covers his mouth, chuckling.)
Elephant:
(Offstage.) Oh dear, I slipped. Okay…almost got it.
Monkey: You’re doing great!
Elephant:
Here we go…I’m doing it! I’m hanging! I’m actually — (Loud crash and tumbling noises. Elephant returns.) Oh, no! I brought down the oldest tree ever! And those poor fruits are all over the jungle floor.
Monkey: That’s far from the oldest tree around here, buddy. I was only joking. (Calls offstage.) Kids! Get over here! It’s dinnertime!
(Monkey runs off stage.)
