Teacher:
Once upon a time a mаn had a
Donkey. The Donkey had served him well for many years, but now it was very old.
The man began to think how he could get rid of the Donkey.
Donkey ( трагично ):
I am very old. My master
wants to get rid of me. What shell I do? Probably, I can run away. Oh, yes.
I’ll go to the town and try to become a town musician there! Of course I’ll do
this!
( Идёт по дороге )
The road is so long.
Somebody is there by the side of the road.
( Обращает внимание на лежащую собаку )
Good day, my dear Dog! Why are you gasping?
Dog:
Good day! Glad to see you.
Ah, every day now I grow older. I cannot hunt with my master. So he wants to
get rid of me. I ran away and now I don’t know now to earn my bread.
Donkey:
Well. I am going to the
town of Bremen. I shall be town musician and play the lute! Let’s go with me.
You’ll beat the drums.
Dog:
Oh, that’s a good idea! A
fine idea! Let’s go, I want to be a good musician! Don’t you see anybody in the
middle of the road?
Donkey:
I see a cat with a terribly
sad fase!
( Обращаясь к коту ) Dear me! What has happened to you, old thing, to make you look
so sad!
Cat:
I don’t know. How to tell
you! My mistress is angry that I don’t want to catch mice anymore. She says she
will drown me. (Вздыхая) So I ran away. But now I don’t know what to do?
Dog:
Come to Bremen with us. You
are good at night music, so you can be a town musician, too.
Cat:
Oh, thank you! You are very
kind! It is so good to have such friends like you. Let’s go.
Teacher:
They walked on and on. The
three future musicians soon came up to a farm. They saw a Cock, sitting upon
the gate. The Cock was crowing with all his might.
Donkey:
Good day, dear!
Cock:
Good day!
Donkey:
What’s the matter with you,
Friend Cock? Why do you crow so loud?
Cock:
Dear friends! I am very
sad! My mistress has invited many people for dinner on Sunday. She has told the
cook to make me into soup. So I crow as loud as I can now. Because after
Sunday I will not crow any more.
Cat:
Come along with us, Friend
Cock.
Cock:
Where are you going?
Cat:
We are going to Bremen.
Donkey:
Your fine voice is just
what we need. We are going to be the town musicians.
Cock:
I am very pleased with the
idea. Let’s go!
Teacher:
They stopped for the night
in the forest! The Donkey and the Dog lay down under a tree. The Cat climbed
into the branches. The Cock flew right up the top of the tree.
Cock:
Dear friends! I see a light
in the distance. And there is a house not far from here.
Donkey:
Let’s go there. It is very
cold, out here in the forest. All together. Let’s go.
Teacher:
They came to a well-lighted
cottage. There was a lot of singing and laughing inside. The Donkey went up to
the window and peeped in.
Cock:
What do you see, Gray-sides?
Donkey:
I see a table laid with
meat and drinks. Around it the robbers are sitting and having a good time.
Cock:
That is just what we need.
Donkey:
Oh! Yes, I do wish we could
be there.
Teacher:
Then the musicians thought
of a plan to frighten the robbers. The Donkey brayed, the Dog barked, the Cat
mewed and the Cock crowed.
(Артисты изображают звуки. Испуганные разбойники
выбегают из-за домика и убегают прочь).
Donkey:
The robbers will never come
here again. I like this house.
All together:
We, too. Four friends are
still there and are as happy as they can be.
