Hello, and Girls. This is a story I like to call, ``Peter and the Wolf''. Are you sitting Are you!? Good, then begin....
Each character is represented by a instrument of the synthesized orchestra.
For instance, the part of the Bird is played by a flute, like this...
The part of the Duck is played by an oboe...
Louie the Cat is a clarinet. All right, he's not a clarinet. He's just --- you know, he's by a clarinet....
The part of the will be played by Don Amiche. He... make it? Oh. Huh. Okay, um, hmm, in case, the part of the Grandfather will be played by, huh, a bassoon....
Three French horns play the part of... uhm... French horns... uh...
(The Wolf! It's the Wolf!) Right! The Wolf. the Wolf....
The kettle and bass 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 time ago, in a far far away... uh.... Oh, excuse me...
Once upon a time --- I it was last Thursday --- a boy named Peter opened the gate and went out into the big meadow.
On the of a big tree sat a little bird. is quiet'', said the bird. ``Holy cow! A bird!'', thought Peter.
Just then, Bruce the came waddling by. Bruce was very happy that Peter hadn't closed gate and he decided to check out the pond in the meadow.
Billy the Bird saw the Duck, so he decided to fly down and an argument him.
``What kind of bird are you if you can't fly?'', he said; to the Duck cleverly replied, a duck! Stupid!''
They argued and argued. The swimming 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 the Cat crawling through the grass.
Louie the Cat thought, ``If the Bird is busy arguing, I'll just him''. So quietly, Louie crept towards him on his paws. Well, his paws weren't velvet... they were, you know, kind of like velvet. It's a, what d'ya it? Uh, a `metaphor'. It's a metaphor, get it?
``Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out! out! Look out! out! Look out!'', advised Peter.
The immediately flew up into the tree... while Bruce the Duck quacked at the Cat... from the middle of the pond.
Louie the Cat walked around the tree and thought, it worth climbing up so high, or should I just out for pizza?''
Grandfather out. He was all bent out of shape because Peter had gone the meadow.
``It's a dangerous place. If a Wolf should come out of the forest, then would you do, Peter did not answer, because all, it was a rhetorical question.
Boys Peter are afraid of a lot of things, like Nuclear annihilation and algebra, but they're not afraid of Wolves.
But Grandfather got in a headlock and dragged him home, telling him that he was grounded and that he watch any cartoons for three weeks.
Just then, as luck would it, a big, mean, hairy, ferocious, snarling, carnivorous Wolf, huh, did out of the forest! But I guess we all knew was coming. I mean, the story is called, and the Wolf'. We couldn't very well call it, `Peter and the Wolf' if there wasn't any wolf, we? Huh, would 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 states that for every action there is an equal and reaction.
But no matter how quickly Bruce to waddle away, he couldn't escape Seymore the Wolf who was wearing his best of tennis shoes.
The Wolf was closing in on the Duck. It was closer and closer and and then 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 then with one big gulp, `wolfed' him down. (Burp)
Um, let me recap the story briefly in case you just walked the room: Louie the Cat was sitting on one branch. Billy the was on another branch, not too to Louie, and Bob the Janitor was at home defrosting his refrigerator.
The Wolf walked around the tree so many times that he made a trench.
Meanwhile, was standing behind the closed gate, videotaping everything was going on.
Suddenly got an idea. He ran home and got a big spool of his unwaxed dental 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 even faster a twinkling.
he grabbed the branch and climbed onto the tree.
Peter said to Billy the Bird, ``I want you to fly down and around the Wolf's head to distract him, but be very careful he doesn't you and bash your skull in and tear out your lungs and you up into itsy-bitsy teeny-tiny pieces.''
``Okay'', the bird.
Billy the Bird almost touched the Wolf's head his wings while the Wolf snapped at him. ``Go ahead'', said the Wolf, ``make my day''.
``Come on, cut it out'', snarled the Wolf, ``you're for trouble, Punk''. But Billy the Bird kept on harassing him.
Meanwhile, Peter made a lasso out of the dental floss and, letting it down, caught the Wolf by the and pulled with all his might.
Feeling caught, the Wolf got really ticked 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 don't you up here and get us
``I would'', the Wolf, ``but, well, I'm kinda tied up right now.''
Just then, some members of the National Association came out of the woods, their magnums, uzis and bazookas.
But Peter yelled, ``Don't shoot. the Bird and I have caught the Wolf. Now, take him to the Zoo''.
``Great idea!'', said the hunters, ``and if he likes that, next week him to Disneyland!''
Just the victory parade. Peter was at the head. (Flush) But after a few minutes he was through and then the began with Peter at the front.
After him, the hunters Seymore the Wolf.
Then Grandfather, and Louie the Cat, and finally, Bob the who had to sweep up the mess. Grandfather shook his discontentedly, ``Well, Peter, what if you hadn't caught the Wolf? What ``Well'', said Peter, probably would have ripped out my intestines with his teeth.'' ``(Cough/gag/choke)'', said Grandfather, ``I that, you idiot. It was a question.''
them, Billy the Bird chirped proudly. ``Yeah, that's right. We bad. We bad''.
Granfather that he'd had enough of the pond and the meadow and the whole stinking scene, so he ran off to Los Angeles and joined a Heavy band.
And what about the Duck? Well, the Wolf had been in such a hurry he swallowed him... alive! means the gastric juices slowly disolved his body and he died a long, death.
However, you'll be happy to hear that just a few years later he was as MacLaine.
And the moral of the story is... hygiene is very important. Make sure you see dentist at least twice a year
