to guess my name,

or the child is mine.

Good-bye!

NARRATOR

The little man was gone in a puff of

silver smoke. The Queen was left

alone trying to think of all the names

she could starting with the letter A.

QUEEN

Andy, Arnie,

Bobby, Billy,

Carlos, Charlie,

David, Dickie.

CHORUS

You have three days

to guess his name.

Three days, three days.

QUEEN

Ernie, Eddie,

Frankie, Freddie,

Gary, Gerry,

Herman, Harry.

NARRATOR

On the evening of the second day,

the little man came and listened to

the Queen guess his name. Finally,

he said:

RUMPELSTILTSKIN

I'll give you a clue.

It starts with R.

QUEEN

With R . . . with R?

I must think of a name

that starts with R.

Let's see, is it Roger?

RUMPELSTILTSKIN

No.

QUEEN

Ralph?

RUMPELSTILTSKIN

No.

QUEEN

Richard?

Robert?

Randy?

RUMPELSTILTSKIN No.

QUEEN

Raymond?

RUMPELSTILTSKIN

No.

QUEEN

Ronnie?

RUMPELSTILTSKIN No.

QUEEN

Ricky?

RUMPELSTILTSKIN

NO, NO, NO, NO!

NARRATOR

And the second day ended with no

more luck than the first. The Queen

sent her messengers all over the

land to search for clues to the name.

On the afternoon of the third day,

one of her messengers came running

into the palace.

MESSENGER

The Queen, the Queen!

I must see the Queen!

QUEEN

Quickly, what is it?

Speak up, speak up.

MESSENGER

I was deep in the forest.

I saw something there.

QUEEN

Quickly, quickly. What did you see?

MESSENGER

I heard something there.

QUEEN

What did you hear?

MESSENGER

I found something there.

QUEEN

What did you find?

MESSENGER

Deep in the forest I found a house.

In front of the house I saw a fire.

In front of the fire I saw, I saw . . .

QUEEN

Yes? Yes? What did you see?

MESSENGER

I saw a man, a tiny man.

Dressed all in silver

fi-om head to toe.

He said a word I've never heard.

QUEEN

What was the word?

MESSENGER

Rumpelstiltskin.

Over and over and over again.

Rumpelstiltskin, Rumpelstiltskin.

CHORUS

Rumpelstiltskin.

Over and over and over again,

Rumpelstiltskin, Rumpelstiltskin.

NARRATOR

So the messenger and the Queen

hurried to the forest, and hid near

the house. In front of the house a

fire was burning, and around the

fire a man was dancing, chanting

Rumpelstiltskin, Rumpelstiltskin.

QUEEN

That's it! That's him!

NARRATOR

THE FISHERMAN

THE FISHERMAN'S WIFE

THE FLOUNDER

CHORUS

NARRATOR

Once upon a time, a fisherman and

his wife lived in a house by the sea.

The fisherman loved to go out alone

in his boat, and sit and fish, and wait

for a bite from a fish at the bottom

of the sea.

CHORUS

Sit and fish,

and wait for a bite.

Sit and fish,

and wait for a bite.

Sit and fish,

and wait for a bite

from a fish at

the bottom of the sea.

NARRATOR

One day he made up a song to sing

to the fish while he waited.

NARRATOR

The fisherman thought about it for

a few moments. Then he picked up

the flounder, and threw him back

into the water. At first, the big fish

swam right down to the bottom of

the sea, but in a moment, he was

back to keep his promise.

FLOUNDER

Tell me what you want,

and it will be yours.

CHORUS

Tell him, tell him.

Tell him what you want.

Tell him, tell him.

Tell him what you want.

FISHERMAN

Hmmm, let's see.

What do I want?

What do I want?

I can't think of a thing.

I can't think of a thing.

CHORUS

He can't think of a thing.

He can't think of a thing.

NARRATOR

And then the flounder disappeared

into the deep dark sea. The

fisherman hurried home to tell his

wife the story. When she heard him

coming, she ran to the door but she

was disappointed when she didn't

see any fish.

WIFE

Oh, no! Didn't you catch anything3

FISHERMAN

I did! I caught a flounder.
