The Mischievous Fairy
 |
| PLEASE LISTEN |
| ANNOUNCER | We present the "A Mischievous Fairy" a play by Class 5, St Mary's, Bute Town. |
|---|---|
| NARRATOR: | I would like to tell you a story about my mischievous granddaughter called Zelda. This is a story that is told to young fairies like yourselves all over the fairy kingdom by their parents as a warning; a warning that to meddle in other people's business only leads to trouble and strife. Now sit back all of you, make yourselves comfortable and listen carefully. Are you ready? |
| CHILDREN | Yes we are. |
|---|---|
| WIND AND WIND CHIMES | |
| NARRATOR: | It was not so long ago when Zelda was sitting on her cloud minding her own business. She had been there for nearly two hundred years and was now almost a grown up. One morning Zelda woke up and everything was different. She felt zingy, she felt springy, in fact she felt positively tingly. The reason for this sudden change? Well the delivery of her magic powers, of course |
| ZELDA: | I'm sick of sitting on this cloud. I wish something exciting would happen. It's so boring. I need to have some fun. I've got an idea. I think I'll put my magical powers to some use. I'm sure I'll think of something. I'm out of here |
| NARRATOR: | And with that Zelda had the most mischievous idea ever. |
| ZELDA: | I think I'll play those silly humans on earth a visit. I could have lots of fun playing magical tricks on them. |
| MAGIC NOISE | |
| NARRATOR: | So off Zelda flew, down through the sky towards the earth |
| ZELDA'S NAUGHTY LAUGHTER | |
| NARRATOR: | Laughing like she's never laughed before |
| ZELDA: | Huh, this'll be real fun. Hah, I can see Bob the butcher. He's always nasty and mean to his customers, I think I'll teach him a little lesson. |
| CHILDREN: | What happened next? Quickly, tell us! |
The play continues with all the naughty tricks that the children of St. Mary's could dream up. Zelda clicks her magic fingers and a pack of dogs gobble up Bob's sausages. She drops squidgy pies on the baker's face and eggs on to the mayor's head and turns tea into jelly. She glues a courting couple's lips together. At the dentist's she has all Mrs Morgan's teeth drop out. The sound effects of teeth falling into a basin were graphic and the girl playing Mrs Morgan gave an excellent imitation of being toothless.
Zelda turns greedy children into squeaking, grunting pigs. At the hairdressers Zelda transforms customers' hair into spaghetti. Eventually, tired after so much fun, she goes to sleep on a lily pad, where she is caught by some naughty children and put in a jam jar - a good acoustic. When she wakes up her magic has run out. She has to stay there for two hundred years thinking up more tricks for the next time she will get her magic power again.
