SCENE 6
Curtains open.
Place: a clearing in the forest. Piglet is standing in the middle of it holding a big red balloon.
Piglet: Today the old grey donkey Eeyore has his birthday. I’ve got a present for him: this beautiful red balloon. Because nobody can be happy without a balloon this day. So I’m in a hurry … (Piglet is picking up speed and walking faster) to be the first… (Piglet is almost running) … to give a present to Eeyore! (With these words he falls down on his balloon and bursts it. At this very moment a loud “bang” is heard from behind the curtains.)
Piglet: (crying) Misfortune!
Eeyore: (coming over to Piglet quietly from the right so he can’t see the burst balloon that Piglet is hiding behind his back) Good morning, Piglet… If it is a good morning… which I doubt…
Piglet: Many happy returns of the day, Eeyore!
Eeyore: Say it again…
Piglet: (very loudly) Many happy returns of the day, Eeyore!!!
Eeyore: My birthday?
Piglet: Of course, Eeyore. I brought you a present.
Eeyore: A present?
Piglet: Yes, Eeyore, I brought you a balloon!
Eeyore: (puzzled) What did you say? Balloon?
Piglet: Yes, but… I’m afraid… I’m very sorry, Eeyore… but when I was running… I fell DOW-W-N!!! (crying loudly)
Eeyore: Dear, dear, how unlucky! You didn’t hurt yourself, little Piglet?
Piglet: No, but… Eeyore! I burst the balloon!!!
Eeyore: My birthday balloon?
Piglet: Yes, Eeyore. With… many happy returns of the day…
Piglet is stretching his shaking hand to the donkey giving the rest of the balloon to Eeyore.
Eeyore: Is it my present?.. (keeps silent for a while, examining his present for a few seconds) Thank you, Piglet!
Piglet starts sobbing bitterly. Eeyore doesn’t move looking at a small piece of rubber that used to be a balloon a few minutes ago. At this moment Little Red Riding Hood appears on the stage.
LRRH: (energetically) Any problems? By the way I’m Little Red Riding Hood! Do you see my beautiful red cape with a hood?
Piglet: Oh, Little Red Riding Hood! I spoiled Eeyore’s birthday! I burst his birthday balloon! I’m so unhappy!
LRRH: You know, Piglet, in fact I’m unhappy too! I lost my way in the magic forest and still can’t find my lovely Granny.
Piglet and Little Red Riding Hood are sobbing together.
Host and Hostess appear from the left.
Host: I cannot understand these fairy tale characters! Little Red Riding Hood! You escaped and didn’t wait for us!
Hostess: Little Red Riding Hood! We found your lovely Granny! Red Riding Hood, you’re so lucky! Your Granny is a young woman with a beautiful soul. She is an intelligent and magnificent lady!
After these words the music is on (“The Flower Waltz” by P. Tchaikovsky) and Granny appears on the stage. She has a big handkerchief, a red balloon and some flowers in her hands. She gives the handkerchief to Piglet and the balloon to Eeyore. The music stops here.
Eeyore: Oh! My birthday present! (Eeyore takes Piglet by the hand and they happily skip away from the stage.)
Curtains close. Granny, LRRH, Host and Hostess are standing in front of the curtains.
LRRH: Oh, my dear Granny! (happily) At last I found you! I love you so much!
Granny: Good afternoon, kids and dear guests! Glad to see you, my dear child! What happened to you? Why are you so unhappy and miserable?
LRRH: Granny! I was looking for you for a long time in the endless magic forest! I miss you so much! That’s why I became unhappy!
Granny: Poor little thing! Who told you that I live in the magic forest? I live in the city! And I like to teach little children English! I am a teacher of English!
Host: Oh! It’s a great piece of luck to have such a granny!
Granny: My dear child! I see you forgot my words about intercultural communication! If you have communication skills, you’ll never be unhappy! If you’re kind and polite, if you can smile and joke with your friends, you’ll never be dull, miserable and full of problems! (to the audience, stepping forward) Dear kids and guests! I invite you to the lesson of English literature devoted to the limerick in the third form. No doubt that in ten minutes you’ll be heartily laughing!
SCENE 7
Curtains open.
Place: school, the 3rd form.
Granny: Let’s start our lesson.
Pupil 1: In English Literature we can find such style of English nonsense poetry as a limerick. A Limerick is a short poem describing a humorous and absurd situation and makes us laugh at human vices.
Granny: Will you translate, please?
Pupil 2: Английская литература предлагает нам такой шутливый поэтический жанр, как лимерик. Лимерик – это небольшое стихотворение, которое описывает смешную и нелепую ситуацию или высмеивает человеческие недостатки.
Granny: Thank you. Continue, please.
Pupil 3: The word “limerick” comes from the name of the Irish town Limerick and the style was created by Irish poets. William Shakespeare, Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll used limericks in their poems. We want to recite some poems for you.
Pupil 4: Название этого жанра связано с ирландским городом Лимерик и творчеством ирландских поэтов XVIII в. Лимерик, как жанр, присутствует в творчестве Уильима Шекспира, Эдварда Лира и Льюиса Кэрролла. Послушайте, пожалуйста, наше выступление.
Pupil 5: An old person of Dean.
There was an old person of Dean
Who dined on one pea and one bean.
For he said, “More than that,
Would make me too fat.”
That cautious old person of Dean.
Granny: Thank you very much. Translate, please.
Pupil 6: Одинокий старик из Туниса.
Одинокий старик из Туниса
На обед съедал зернышко риса.
“Больше есть я не смею,
А не то растолстею”,
Объяснял он друзьям из Туниса.
(Перевод О. Астафьевой)
Carlson, Malish and Three Little Pigs appear on the stage.
Granny: Thank you, kids! (stepping forward) Dear guests! I hope we raised your spirits and made you laugh.
Host: You see how much we can do when we are together!
Granny: So, dear kids, if you have communication skills, you can be heard by everyone in different languages and in different countries.
LRRH: And you can find your lovely Granny even in the magic forest!
Carlson: And learn how to count!
Malish: And get as many buns as you want!
Hostess: And you also can make a lot of friends at school!
Pigs: (in chorus) And hide from the Big Bad Wolf!
Host: Yes, if we have communication skills we can play and work together every day at our school!
All the characters sing the song “Together”.
Together
Together, together
Together every day,
Together, together
We work and we play.
Together, together
We read our books each day,
Together, together
We work and we play.
Together, together
We write some words each day
Together, together
We work and we play!
