SCRIPT
Narrator: Once upon a time there was a king called Julian. He wanted to know which of his three sons would inherit the throne when he died.
At the Palace
King Julian: Servant… tell my sons that I need to talk to them. I´ll be in the garden.
Servant: Very well, your majesty.
Narrator: When they were all in the garden, the king said.
In the Garden
King Julian: I can’t decide which of you is capable of taking care of my kingdom, but first of all you have to get married.
Henry: Is that a condition?
King Julian: Yes, only a married man can be in charge of my kingdom.
Narrator: Henry and Roman were the first ones to leave the palace. They went to far away lands looking for a bride. The first one to return was Henry, the oldest son.
At the Palace
King Julian: Henry! I am happy to see you again! Who is this lovely woman?
Henry: She’s my wife, father. She’s princess Grecia.
King Julian: Is she King Ferdinand’s daughter?
Henry: Yes, she is.
King Julian: I see that you also brought a lot of cattle with you.
Princess Grecia: They are a gift from my father. They are loaded with gold and precious stones.
King: I am proud of you, Henry.
Narrator: A few days later, Roman, the second son, came back.
King: Roman, my dear son! I see that you also brought your wife.
Roman: Yes, father. She’s Heidi.
Heidy: I wrote this poem for you.
Roman: She’s a writer. Her poems are delightful.
King: Thank you, Heidi, I will read it later in the privacy of my room.
In the Forest
Narrator: Edson, the youngest, most charming and strongest son, was the last one to leave the kingdom in search of a bride.
Edson: Oh no, I have to cross the deep forest, and the villagers say that it’s dangerous, especially at night!
Narrator: Suddenly some dwarves captured him and took him prisoner. While he was in jail, he thought.
In Jail
Edson: My father must be worried… I miss him very much.
Narrator: One day he heard a sweet voice calling him.
Girl: Would you marry me?
Edson: Where’s that voice coming from? I don’t see anybody in here.
Narrator: Next day he heard the voice again.
Girl: Would you marry me?
Edson: Oh no, not again! Who’s there?
Narrator: But there was no answer. Next day he heard the sweet voice again, and desperately he said.
Edson: Yes! Yes! I will marry you. I give you my word.
Narrator: Next day some dwarves took him out of jail.
Dwarves: You are free now.
Edson: It was about time!… where are you taking me?
Dwarves: You need to be cleaned and washed.
Narrator: The dwarves washed him, cut his hair, and gave him new clothes.
Edson: I don’t understand what is happening, but at least I’m not a prisoner anymore.
Dwarves: You should be grateful.
Narrator: Then he was taken to a palace, and into a big room filled with dwarves. In the center of the room the judge was waiting for him.
At the Dwarves Palace
Judge Dwarf: I hope you’re ready… you are not allowed to speak at this time.
Narrator: Then a bride entered the room wearing a beautiful embroidered wedding dress, and a veil was covering her face. When she stood before the judge he said.
Judge Dwarf: You may uncover your face.
Narrator: When she did it Edson screamed.
Edson: No! No! No!
Narrator: The bride’s face was disfigured and had a big black mole covering half of her face and one of her eyes. She was a hunchbacked dwarf. But Edson said.
Edson: I promised you that I would marry you, so let’s start the wedding.
Narrator: As soon as he signed the marriage papers, the bride was surrounded and covered by a white thick fog. When the fog disappeared, the dwarf was gone, and there stood a beautiful woman. And all the other dwarves were turned into beautiful maidens and young noblemen. Then the bride said.
Girl: My dear husband. We were all under a spell because of our bad behaviour. But to become ourselves again it was necessary that someone showed loyalty to a promise given. You didn’t break your promise, and thanks to you, the spell was broken.
Narrator: After a few days they went to the palace, where the king called for a meeting.
At the Palace
King Julian: Loyalty is the greatest gift on this earth. Edson will inherit the throne, because he was loyal to his promise in a very difficult moment of his life.
