陳鳴娟 沈柳

In the thick forest， the duck family live happily together. Summer is coming. There is something strange happening. 接下來將會發(fā)生什么有趣的故事呢？讓我們一起來欣賞江蘇省海門師范附屬小學(xué)的同學(xué)們演繹的精彩童話劇吧！

Mrs Duck： I am very happy today， because my babies are to be born. Mrs Hen and Mr Dog， come on！

Mrs Hen：Mrs Duck， look at your babies. How lovely！ Congratulations！

Mrs Duck： Quack！ Quack！ Thank you so much. I am really happy.

The music “If you are happy” starts. The ducklings sing and dance happily.

Mrs Duck： One， two， three， four， five ... One is missing and where is she？

Ugly Duckling： I am here. I feel so comfortable， mommy.

Ducks： Mommy， mommy， she is so ugly.

Ugly Duckling： What’s wrong？ Mommy， you won’t love me， will you？

Mrs Hen： Oh， this baby is so ugly， I’m afraid she is the turkey’s child. Ha ha！

Mr Dog： Woof， woof， I think so. She is really ugly.

Mrs Duck： Please don’t say that. She is my baby. But why do I have such an ugly child？ Oh， my god.

The group of ducks swim with the light music， and the Ugly Duckling follows.

Duck 1： I wonder why our mother has such an ugly child.

Ugly Duckling： （sadly） They don’t like me. They also tease（嘲笑） me. I’d better leave home. I’d like to go away. Maybe someone will love me. Goodbye， my dear mother.

The Ugly Duckling is wandering all the day and night. One day， she comes to the grassland.

Children： Mommy， mommy， she is ugly.

Mrs Rabbit： Ugly monster， don’t scare my child. Go away！

Ugly Duckling： （sadly） Why do they stay away from me？ Why？ Mommy， I’m hungry and cold. Mommy， where are you？

Mrs Duck： I miss you too， my baby！ Don’t be sad. Remember， be ready to help others and be kind to others. Finally you will be loved someday.

Ugly Duckling： （nervously） Mommy， you are right. I will try my best to be kind.

Rabbit： Help， help！

Ugly Duckling： What’s the matter， little rabbit？

Rabbit： Please help me， the hunter is running after me.

Ugly Duckling： Don’ t worry！ Shh ... be quiet， follow me.

Hunter： It was here just now. I’m sure. But where is he？

Ugly Duckling： Little rabbit， come out， you are safe now.

Rabbit： Thank you. What’ your name？

Ugly Duckling： I’m ugly， so they call me Ugly Duckling.

Rabbit： You are not very beautiful， but you have a heart of gold. Can I make friends with you？

Ugly Duckling： （shyly） Really？

Rabbit： Yes！ Go and play with me.

Cat： （happily） Today， I can leave my mother. I’m free now. ?（scaredly）?? ? ? ? Who are you？ You are so ugly！

Ugly Duckling： （unconfidently） Sorry， I’m homeless Ugly?Duckling.

Cat： You leave your mother？ Why？

Ugly Duckling： No， no. If I can live with my mother， how happy I will be.

Cat： My mother always eats the fish head and gives me the fish body. Oh， I miss her a little.

Rabbit： My mother always protects me. Today， I leave home on my own. If not you， I would be dangerous.

Cat： Thank you， Ugly Duckling. You make me feel how my mother loves me.

Ugly Duckling： Don’t say that. You don’t want your mothers to be sad.

Cat： Oh， I have left home for a long time. My mother must be worried. I have to go back. Bye-bye.

Rabbit： Bye-bye.

Ugly Duckling： Bye-bye， my friends.

The long winter is gone. Spring is coming. Look， the Ugly Duckling is dancing on the lake cheerfully.

Butterfly： What a beautiful swan！

Mr Dog： Mrs Duck， is she your missing baby？

Mrs Duck： My dear， are you my baby？

Ugly Duckling： （excitedly） Mommy.

Mrs Duck： My baby， you are so helpful. We are proud of you. Today is the happiest day for me. Let’s dance together. As long as we help others with a sincere heart， we will be happy and beautiful.
