Hello, and Girls. This is a story that I to call, ``Peter and the Wolf''. Are you sitting Are you!? Good, then begin....
Each character is represented by a different instrument of the orchestra.
For instance, the part of Billy the Bird is by a flute, like this...
The of Bruce the Duck is played by an oboe...
the Cat is a clarinet. All right, he's not really a clarinet. He's --- you know, he's represented by a clarinet....
The part of the Grandfather will be by Don Amiche. He... make it? Oh. Huh. Okay, um, hmm, in that case, the part of the Grandfather be played by, huh, a bassoon....
Three French play the part of... uhm... three French horns... uh...
(The Wolf! the Wolf!) Right! The Wolf. Seymore the Wolf....
The kettle drum and drum represent the sub-machine-gun fire of the hunters...
And, of course, as always, the of Bob the Janitor is played by the accordion.
Well, it for the introductions. And now, the story.
A long ago, in a galaxy far far away... uh.... Oh, excuse me...
Once upon a time --- I think it was last Thursday --- a boy named opened the and went out into the big green meadow.
On the branch of a big tree sat a bird. is quiet'', said the bird. ``Holy cow! A talking bird!'', Peter.
Just then, Bruce the Duck waddling by. Bruce was very happy that Peter hadn't closed gate and he decided to out the deep pond in the meadow.
Billy the Bird saw the Duck, so he decided to fly and pick an argument him.
``What of bird are you if you can't fly?'', he said; to which the Duck cleverly replied, a duck! Stupid!''
They argued and argued. The Duck in the pond. The little bird skipping the shore. (Scratch) Sorry.
Suddenly, something Peter's eye --- and you know how painful that can be. It was Louie the Cat through the grass.
Louie the Cat thought, the Bird is busy arguing, I'll just grab him''. So quietly, Louie crept towards him on his paws. Well, his paws weren't really velvet... they were, you know, kind of velvet. It's a, what call it? Uh, a `metaphor'. It's a metaphor, get it?
``Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out! out! Look out! Look out! Look out! out!'', advised Peter.
The immediately flew up into the tree... while Bruce the Duck quacked at Louie the Cat... from the of the pond.
Louie the Cat walked around the tree and thought, it worth climbing up so high, or should I send out for pizza?''
Grandfather came out. He was all bent out of shape because Peter had the meadow.
``It's a place. If a Wolf should come out of the forest, then what would you do, Peter did not answer, after all, it was a rhetorical question.
like Peter are afraid of a lot of things, like Nuclear annihilation and flunking algebra, but not afraid of Wolves.
But Grandfather got Peter in a and dragged him home, telling him that he was grounded and that he couldn't watch any cartoons for weeks.
Just then, as luck would it, a big, mean, hairy, ferocious, snarling, Wolf, huh, did come out of the forest! But I guess we all knew that was coming. I mean, the is called, `Peter and the Wolf'. We couldn't very well call it, `Peter and the if there wasn't any wolf, we? Huh, that be really stupid.
The Cat was up the tree in a which is about, oh, 2.3 seconds.
the Duck quacked so hard that he propelled himself backwards and up dry land.
For of you taking notes, this is a fine practical example of Newton's First Law of Motion, which clearly that for every action there is an equal and reaction.
But no matter how quickly tried to waddle away, he couldn't escape Seymore the Wolf who was his best pair of tennis shoes.
The Wolf was in on the Duck. It was getting closer and closer and closer and and then....
He got 'em! He got 'em! Oh no! Oh, it was terrible! Oh, oh I believe it! Oh! The humanity! The humanity! Oh my God! Ahh-hoh, oh, huh.
And with one big gulp, Seymore `wolfed' him down. (Burp)
Um, let me recap the briefly in case you just walked into the room: Louie the Cat was sitting on one branch. Billy the was on another branch, not too close to Louie, and Bob the was at home defrosting his refrigerator.
The Wolf walked around the tree so times that he made a small trench.
Meanwhile, Peter was standing behind the gate, videotaping everything was going on.
Suddenly Peter got an idea. He ran home and got a big of his grandfather's unwaxed floss.
One of the of the tree that the Wolf was circling was conveniently out over a high stone wall.
Peter scaled the wall, lickity-split, which is faster than a twinkling.
Then he grabbed the and climbed onto the tree.
Peter said to Billy the Bird, ``I you to fly down and circle around the Wolf's head to distract him, but be very careful he doesn't you and bash your in and tear out your lungs and chew you up into itsy-bitsy little pieces.''
``Okay'', the bird.
Billy the Bird touched the Wolf's head with his wings while the Wolf snapped at him. ``Go ahead'', said the Wolf, ``make my day''.
``Come on, cut it out'', snarled the Wolf, askin' for trouble, Punk''. But Billy the Bird just on harassing him.
Meanwhile, Peter made a lasso out of the floss and, carefully letting it down, caught the by the tail and pulled with all his might.
Feeling himself caught, the Wolf got really off and started jerking back and forth.
Peter tied the other end of the floss to the tree and left the Wolf in mid-air. ``Hey, Big Bad Wolf'', said Peter, ``why you come up here and get us
``I would'', said the Wolf, ``but, well, I'm tied up right now.''
Just then, some members of the Rifle Association came out of the woods, firing their magnums, and bazookas.
But Peter yelled, ``Don't shoot. Billy the Bird and I have the Wolf. Now, take him to the Zoo''.
``Great idea!'', said the hunters, ``and if he that, next week we'll him to Disneyland!''
Just imagine the victory parade. was at the head. (Flush) But after a few minutes he was and then the parade began with Peter at the front.
After him, the hunters Seymore the Wolf.
Grandfather, and Louie the Cat, and finally, Bob the janitor who had to sweep up the mess. Grandfather shook his head discontentedly, ``Well, Peter, what if you the Wolf? What then?'' ``Well'', said Peter, probably would have ripped out my intestines with his teeth.'' ``(Cough/gag/choke)'', Grandfather, ``I know that, you idiot. It was a question.''
Above them, Billy the Bird chirped proudly. ``Yeah, right. We bad. We bad''.
Granfather decided that he'd had of the pond and the meadow and the stinking scene, so he ran off to Los Angeles and joined a Heavy Metal band.
And about Bruce the Duck? Well, the Wolf had been in such a hurry he swallowed him... alive! which means the gastric slowly disolved his body and he died a long, death.
However, be happy to hear that just a few years later he was reincarnated as MacLaine.
And the moral of the story is... hygiene is very important. Make sure you see your dentist at least a year
