Cinderalla（演出版）
演员：旁白；灰姑娘；天使；王子；后母。
旁白：Once upon a time... there lived an unhappy young girl.
（钢琴声起）
Unhappy she was, for her mother was dead, her father had married another woman, a widow with two daughters, and her stepmother didn't like her one little bit. All the nice things, kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own daughters.  For the poor unhappy girl had to work hard all day, and only when evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That is how she got her nickname, for everybody called her Cinderella.
Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. The cat said, "Miaow", which really meant, "Cheer up! You are beautiful than your stepsisters." It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in rags with a dusty grey face from the cinders, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how beautiful their clothes, were still ugly and always would be.
One day, a ball was to be held at palace and the stepsisters were getting ready to go to it. Cinderella, didn't even dare ask, "What about me?" for she knew very well what the answer is no way. Cinderella sighed at the cat.
灰姑娘："Oh dear, I'm so unhappy!"
(钢琴变奏)
旁白：Suddenly something happened. In the kitchen, where Cinderella was sitting all by herself, there was a flash and a angel appeared.
天使："Don't be alarmed, Cinderella. The wind blew me your sighs. I know you would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!"
灰姑娘："How can I, dressed in rags?"
天使："The servants will turn me away!"
旁白：The angel smiled. With a flick of his magic wand... Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress, the loveliest ever seen in the country.
天使："Now that we have settled the matter of the dress, we'll need to get you a coach. A real lady would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get me a pumpkin!"  
灰姑娘："Oh of course."
旁白：Then the angel asked the cat to caught seven mice which still alive. Cinderella soon returned with a fine pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he had caught. With a flick of angel’s magic wand... wonder of wonders! The pumpkin turned into a beautiful coach and the mice became six white horses and a coachman. Cinderella could hardly believe her eyes.
天使："Everything is ready! You will soon see the Prince, who will be enchanted by your loveliness. But remember! You must leave the ball at midnight and come home. For that is when the spell ends."
灰姑娘："Yes, I understand!"
(钢琴变奏)
旁白：When Cinderella entered the ballroom at the palace, a hush fell. Everyone stopped in mid-sentence to admire her beauty.
所有人："Who can that be?"
旁白：People asked each other. The two stepsisters also wondered who the newcomer was. When the prince set eyes on Cinderella, he was struck by her beauty. Walking over to her, he bowed deeply and asked her to dance. And he danced with Cinderella all evening.
王子："Who are you, beauty? May I know you name?"
灰姑娘："What does it matter who I am! You will never see me again anyway."
王子："Oh, but I shall, I'm quite certain!"
旁白：Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball... But when she heard the stroke of the midnight, she remembered what the angel had said, and without a word of goodbye she leaved. As she ran so fast she lost one of her shoes, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! She rushed away.
(钢琴变奏)
The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up her shoe and asked his ministers,
王子："Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this shoe fits. I will never be happy until I find her!"
旁白：So the ministers tried the shoe on the foot of all the girls... and on Cinderella's foot as well... Surprise! The shoe fitted very well.
后母："That girl cannot have been at the ball, tell the Prince he ought to marry one of my two daughters! Can't you see how ugly Cinderella is! Can't you see?"
(钢琴变奏)
旁白：Suddenly she broke off, for the angel had appeared. He raising his magic wand. In a flash, Cinderella appeared in a beautiful dress, shining with youth and beauty. Then Cinderella joyfully went with the ministers, and lived happily ever after with her Prince.
(钢琴声止)
所有人：That’s all. Thank you.

Adventures of Aladdin
(阿拉丁历险记)

Once upon a time . . . a widow had an only son whose name was Aladdin. They were very poor and lived from hand to mouth, though Aladdin did what he could to earn some pennies, by picking bananas in faraway places.
One day, as he was looking for wild figs in a grove some way from the town, Aladdin met a mysterious stranger. This smartly dressed dark-eyed man with a trim black beard and a splendid sapphire in his turban, asked Aladdin an unusual question:
"Come here, boy," he ordered. "How would you like to earn a silver penny?"
"A silver penny!" exclaimed Aladdin. "Sir, I'd do anything for that kind of payment."
"I'm not going to ask you to do much. Just go down that manhole. I'm much too big to squeeze through myself. If you do as I ask, you'll have your reward."
The stranger helped Aladdin lift the manhole cover, for it was very heavy. Slim and agile as he was, the boy easily went down. His feet touched stone and he carefully made his way down some steps . . . and found himself in a large chamber. It seemed to sparkle, though dimly lit by the flickering light of an old oil lamp.
When Aladdin's eyes became used to the gloom, he saw a wonderful sight: trees dripping with glittering jewels, pots of gold andcaskets full of priceless gems. Thousands of precious objects lay scatteredabout. It was a treasure trove! Unable to believe his eyes, Aladdin was standing dazed when he heard a shout behind him.
"The lamp! Put out the flame and bring me the lamp!"
Surprised and suspicious, for why should the stranger, out of all such a treasure want only an old lamp, Aladdin wondered. Perhaps he was a wizard. He decided to be on his guard. Picking up the lamp, he retraced his steps up to the entrance.
"Give me the lamp," urged the wizard impatiently. "Hand it over," he began to shout, thrusting out his arm to grab it, but Aladdin cautiously drew back.
"Let me out first . . ."
"Too bad for you," snapped the stranger, slamming down the manhole cover, never noticing that, as he did so, a ring slid off his finger. A terrified Aladdin was left in pitch darkness, wondering what the wizard would do next. Then he trod on the ring. Aimlessly putting it on his finger, he twisted it round and round. Suddenly the room was flooded with a rosy light and a great genie with clasped hands appeared on a cloud. "
At your command, sire," said the genie.
Now astounded, Aladdin could only stammer: "I want to go home!"
In a flash he was back in his own home, though the door was tightly shut.
"How did you get in?" called his mother from the kitchen stove, the minute she set eyes on him. Excitedly, her son told her of his adventures.
"Where's the silver coin?" his mother asked. Aladdin clapped a hand to hisbrow. For all he had brought home was the old oil lamp .
"Oh, mother! I'm so sorry. This is all I've got."
"Well, let's hope it works. It's so dirty . . ." and the widow began to rub the lamp.
Suddenly out shot another genie, in a cloud of smoke. "You've set me free, after centuries! I was a prisoner in the lamp, waiting to be freed by someone rubbing it. Now, I'm your obedient servant. Tell me your wishes." And the genie bowed respectfully, awaiting Aladdin's orders. The boy and his mother gaped wordlessly at this incredible apparition, then the genie said with a hint of impatience in his voice.
"I'm here at your command. Tell me what you want. Anything you like!"
Aladdin gulped, then said: "Bring us . . . bring . . ." His mother not having yet begun to cook the dinner, went on to say: ". . . a lovely big meal."
From that day on, the widow and her son had everything they could wish for:food, clothes and a fine home, for the genie of the lamp granted them everything they asked him. Aladdin grew into a tall handsome young man and hismother felt that he ought to find himself a wife, sooner or later.
One day, as he left the market, Aladdin happened to see the Sultan's daughter Halima in her sedan chair being carried through the streets. He only caught a fleeting glimpse of the princess, but it was enough for him to want to marry her.
Aladdin told his mother and she quickly said: "I'll ask the Sultan for his daughter's hand. He'll never be able to refuse. Wait and see!" And indeed, the Sultan was easily persuaded by a casket full of big diamonds to admit the widow to the palace. However, when he learned why she had come, he told the widow that her son must bring proof of his power andriches. This was mostly the Chamberlain's idea, for he himself was eager to marry the beautiful black-eyed Sultan's daughter.
"If Aladdin wants to marry Halima,' said the Sultan, "he must send me forty slaves tomorrow.Every slave must bring a box of precious stones. And fortyArab warriors must escort the treasure."
Aladdin's mother went sadly home. The genie of the magic lamp had alreadyworked wonders, but nothing like this. Aladdin however,when he heard the news,was not at all dismayed. He picked up the lamp, rubbed it harder than ever and told the genie what he required. The genie simply clapped his hands three times. Forty slaves magically appeared, carrying the gemstones, together with their escort of forty Arab warriors. When he saw all this the next day, the Sultan was taken aback. He never imagined such wealth could exist. Just as he was about to accept Aladdin as his daughter's bridegroom, the envious Chamberlain broke in with a question.
"Where will they live?" he asked. The Sultan pondered for a moment, then allowing greed to get the better of him, he told Aladdin to build a great, splendid palace for Halima. Aladdin went straight home and, in what was once awilderness, the genie built him a palace. The last obstacle had been overcome.The wedding took place with great celebrations and the Sultan was especially happy at finding such a rich and powerful son-in-law.
News of Aladdin's sudden fortune and wealth spread like wildfire, until....one day, a strange merchant stopped beneath the palace window.
"Old lamps for new," he called to the princess, standing on the balcony.
Now, Aladdin had always kept his secret to himself. Only his mother knew it and she had never told a soul. Halima, alas, had been kept in the dark. And so, now, wanting to give Aladdin a surprise as well as make a good bargain, she fetched the old oil lamp she had seen Aladdin tuck away, and gave it to the merchant in exchange for a new one. The merchant quickly began to rub it . . . and the genie was now at the service of the wizard who had got his magic lamp back. In a second he whisked away all Aladdin's possessions and magically sent the palace and the princess to an unknown land. Aladdin and the Sultan were attheir wits' end. Nobody knew what had happened. Only Aladdin knew it had something to do with the magic lamp. But as he wept over the lost genie of the lamp, he remembered the genie of the ring from the wizard's finger.Slipping the ring on his finger, Aladdin twisted it round and round.
"Take me to the place where the wizard has hidden my wife," he ordered the genie. In a flash, he found himself inside his own palace, and peeping from behind a curtain, he saw the wizard and the princess, now his servant.
"Psst! Psst!" hissed Aladdin.
"Aladdin! It's you . . .!"
"Ssh. Don't let him hear you. Take this powder and put it into his tea. Trust me." The powder quickly took effect and the wizard fell into a deep sleep. Aladdin hunted for the lamp high and low, but it was nowhere to be seen. But it had to be there. How, otherwise, had the wizard moved the palace? As Aladdin gazed at his sleeping enemy, he thought of peering underneath the pillow.
"The lamp! At last," sighed Aladdin, hastily rubbing it.
"Welcome back, Master!" exclaimed the genie. "Why did you leave me atanother's service for so long?"
"Welcome," replied Aladdin. "I'm glad to see you again. I've certainlymissed you! It's just as well I have you by me again."
"At your command," smiled the genie. "First, put this wicked wizard in chains and take him far away where he'll never be found again."
The genie grinned with pleasure, nodded his head, andthe wizard vanished.
Halima clutched Aladdin in fear: "What's going on? Who is that genie?"
"Don't worry, everything is all right," Aladdin reassured her, as he toldhis wife the whole story of how he had met the wizard and found the magic lamp that had enabled him to marry her.
Everything went back to normal and the happy pair hugged each other tenderly.
"Can we return to our own kingdom?" the princess asked timidly, thinkingof her father, so far away. Aladdin glanced at her with a smile.
"The magic that brought you here will take you back, but with me at your side, forever."
The Sultan was almost ill with worry. His daughter had disappeared alongwith the palace, and then his son-in-law had vanished too. Nobody knew wherethey were, not even the wise men hastily called to the palace to divine what had happened.  
The jealous Chamberlain kept on repeating: "I told you Aladdin's fortune couldn't last." Everyone had lost all hope of ever seeing the missing pair again, when faraway, Aladdin rubbed the magic lamp and said to the genie, "Take my wife, myself and the palace back to our own land, as fast as youcan."
"In a flash, Sire," replied the genie.
At the snap of a finger, the palace rose into the air and sped over the Sultan's kingdom, above the heads of hisastonished subjects. It gently floated down to earth and landed on its oldsite. Aladdin and Halima rushed to embrace the Sultan.
To this very day, in that distant country, you can still admire the tracesof an ancient palace which folk call the palace that came from the skies.

The Emperor's New Clothes(打印版)
Long ago and far away, there lived an Emperor. This Emperor was very vain and could think about nothing but his clothes. He had wardrobes and cupboards full of clothes. They filled his spare bedrooms and upstairs corridors of the palace.
The courtiers were worried that the wardrobes would begin to appear downstairs and in their chambers.
The Emperor spent hours every morning getting dressed. He had to choose his outfit, preferable a new one, and the shoes and wig to go with it. Mid-morning, he invariably changed into something more formal for his short meetings with his counsellors and advisors. He would change again for lunch, and then again for a rest in the afternoon. He just had to change for dinner and them again for the evening!
He kept all the weavers, tailors, cobblers and silk merchants of the city very busy and very happy!
News of the Emperor spread to distant kingdoms and finally came to the ears of two very shady characters.
"Could we?" they asked themselves. "Could we fool the Emperor who loves new clothes?"
"Let's try," they decided.
They left their homes and travelled to the Emperor's city. there they saw the many shops selling clothes, shoes and fabrics. For, if the Emperor dressed finely, so too did his couriers. The two travellers went to the palace along with many other tradesmen hoping to sell their wares to the Emperor.
They asked to meet the Emperor.
"We have something very special to show him," they told the Chamberlain.
"That's what everyone says," said the Chamberlain.
"Ah, but his is magical," said one, "We have invented a new cloth by using a very special and secret method.
"The Chamberlain felt that it was his duty to bring new items to the Emperor's attention and he went to tell him.
"Something magical?" said the Emperor, who was changing for lunch and admiring himself in the mirror.
"Oh, I love new things, Show the two weavers in.
"The two weavers were shown in, and began to describe their cloth to the Emperor.
"It is gold, silver and rainbow coloured, all at the same time," said one. "It shimmers."
"It feels like silk, but is as warm as wool," said the second.
"It is as light as air," said the first. "A most wonderful fabric.
"The Emperor was enchanted. He must have an outfit from this new cloth.
"There is a grand parade in the city in two weeks time," he said. "I need a new outfit for it. Can one be ready in time?"
"Oh yes, your Majesty," said the weavers. "But there is a problem. The cloth is very expensive to make."
"No matter," said the Emperor, waving his hand. "Money is no objest. I must have an outfit. Just see the Chamberlain and he'll sort it out. Make it here in the palace.
"The Chamberlain showed the two weavers to a large airy room and they set to work. They asked for a loom, and a sack of gold to start buying materials.
The Chamberlain followed the Emperor's orders and they were denied nothing.
The weavers worked away behind closed doors. The loom could be heard clattering away. Every now and them a courtier would stand and listen at the door. News of the magic cloth had spread.
Finally, the Emperor could stand it no more."
Chamberlain, go to the weavers and see how the cloth is processing. The parade is only a week way.
"The Chamberlain knocked at the door and waited.
"Enter!" said the weavers. They had been expecting someone soon!
"The Emperor has sent me to check on the progress of the cloth," said the Chamberlain, staring at the empty loom.
"Is it not beautiful?" said one of the weavers, holding out nothing to the Chamberlain. "See the lustre, feel the softness!"
"Um," said the Chamberlain, not quite sure what to say.
"Oh wise Chamberlain," said the other weaver.
"Now you can see why it is magical. Only the truly clever and brilliant can see the cloth. Most people would see an empty loom, but a clever man like you will see our wonderful cloth."
"Of course," said the Chamberlain, not wanting to look stupid. "It really is quite marvellous. Those colours, that shimmer of the gold and silver threads. Marvellous."
"Oh, you are so wise," said the weavers.
The Emperor was very impatient and couldn't wait for the Chamberlain to return. After ten minutes of pacing up and down, he went to the weavers' room, followed by half of his court.
He threw the doors open, and saw the empty loom.
"Why!" he cried in a surprised voice.
"Your Majesty," said the Chamberlain quickly. " A wise man such as yourself can surely see the colours and sheen of this magical cloth."
"Of course I can," said the Emperor, wondering why he could not. "It's beautiful. Simply enchanting. When can my outfit be made? Send for the royal tailors!"
"Your Majesty," said the two weavers. "We would be delighted to make your outfit for you. There is no need to trouble your hard-working tailor. It is such a difficult fabric to cut and sew. We will make the suit."
"Very well," said the Emperor. "First fitting tomorrow."
The courtiers had followed the Emperor, and they now came into the room. Of course, they could see nothing on the loom for there was nothing to see.
"Is it not beautiful?" said one of the weavers. "Of course, only the wise and very clever can see the beauty of the cloth. Look at the colours, feel the weight.
"The courtiers queued up to look at the colours and feel the weight, and each went away exclaiming over the marvellous cloth which was indeed as light as air. But each courtier secretly wondered if they were really stupid, as they had seen nothing at all.
The two weavers then set to work as tailors.
They muttered and discussed at the Emperor's fittings, stitching here, cutting there until at last the suit was made.
The following day was the day of the parade.
"Am I not the handsomest of men in my marvellour suit?" said the Emperor to the Chamberlain, as he showed off his new outfit. "Just look at the tiny stitches and the lacework. Truly marvellous."
"Undoubtedly, sir," said the Chamberlain. "There is no outfit on earth to equal this one."
The Emperor was dressed in his new suit and ready for the parade. News of his amazing outfit had reached the people of the town and all wanted to see him. There were people crowded along the sides of the streets.
The parade began!
People gasped. "What a suit!" they cried.
"What suit?" asked a small boy, who had not heard of the magical cloth. "The Emperor has no clothes on at all!"
"It's true! No clothes! The Emperor is naked!" the people cried.
And the Emperor was very ashamed. He had been so vain, and now he had been made to look a fool.
As for the two tailors -- they were in fact thieves, and had long since left the town with their bags of gold. Probably laughing all the way!
But the Emperor is a wiser man now, and spends a lot more time with his advisors and far less with his tailors.

The Tortoise and the Hare
旁白：Good morning everyone. Now, I will tell you a story about Mr. Tortoise and Miss Hare. In a very big forest, there lives many different kinds of animals, like monkeys, chicks, a Hare and an honest Tortoise. Miss Hare is very proud of her long legs and  she looks down upon Mr. Tortoise. Today, near the river, an interesting thing is happening.
兔子：Hi! Mr. Tortoise. What are you doing?
乌龟：Hi! Miss Hare. I am walking.
兔子：Why do not you put four wheels on your feet? You will run much faster than now.
乌龟：No, I would run with my feet step by step. I’m sure I can win. I could be the winner.
兔子：Can what? Can run? Just like now? Ah, Ah, Ah, You are too slow. I can even walk faster than you run.
乌龟：Miss Hare, You are too proud. We should have a race. I believe I can run faster than you. That means I can win the match.
兔子：What? What? A race? With you? You can win? OK. OK. Look at the tall tree. Let me see who can get there first.
乌龟：OK !
兔子：Who will be the winner? Of course, It is me.
旁白：Many animals hear about the message that Mr. Tortoise and Miss Hare will have a race. They all come to the place near the river.
猴子: Mr. Tortoise, Are you ill? You must know your legs are much shorter than Miss Hare’s. That is to say you would fail the race.
乌龟:  Don’t worry. I will try my best. I believe myself.
小鸡: Oh, My God! Do not join the race, and you will not be the winner,
乌龟:  You are my good friends. Please believe in me. I can win the race .
猴子: Ready? Go!
旁白： Miss Hare runs very fast, but Mr. Tortoise runs very slowly. A moment later, Miss Hare arrives at a small tree.
兔子:  Where is Mr. Tortoise? I can not see him. Oh, he is much far behind me. I think he will arrive here at least in the afternoon, Let me have a good rest.
旁白： Miss Hare wants to have a rest, but after a moment, he feels a little sleepy.
乌龟:  How tired, but I can not give up. I must insist. I can arrive at the tall tree.
兔子:  Oh, It is Miss Hare. He is sleeping now. I must run faster at his sleeping time.
旁白:  Miss Hare is sleeping, while Mr. Tortoise is running much faster now. Now Mr. Tortoise arrives near the tree.
猴子和小鸡:  Mr. Tortoise, Come on, Come on. You could be the winner!
兔子:  Who is making the noise? Ah? Mr. Tortoise? He will win? Oh, no. Let me catch up with him.
       Oh, It is too late, he is the winner, I fail the race. But I do not know why? Do you know?
