SCENE 1

- NARRATOR : Once upon in a small village there

lived a shepherd boy named Peter. He lived with his uncle

Jim and aunt Angie, his brother and his sister. Every night

they sat together by the fireplace to tell stories about

wolves.

− JIM : And THAT was the end of the story...

− SUSAN: Oh, it's very interesting!

− PETER: And what happened to the wolf?

− SUSAN: Yes, what happened to him?

− JIM: He was never seen again...

− SAM: Never, never seen again?!

− PETER: Oh!

− SUSAN: I don't like wolves.

− SAM: I like them. They are very strong but they are

dangerous for farm animals; (sheep, hens, pigs …)

− SUSAN: I'm afraid of them.

− PETER: Uncle, are you afraid of wolves?

− SAM: Tell us the truth uncle!

− JIM: No, but they can't be around people.

− SUSAN: I know. I'm afraid of them.

− SAM: It's dangerous.!

− PETER: What would happened if they came near our

town?

− SUSAN: Oh no!!

− SAM: Oh no!!

− JIM: Well, they could harm us, especially our sheep.

− SUSAN: It's terrible.

− SAM: It's better the wolves are away.

− PETER: What about you, aunt Angie... are you

afraid of wolves.

− ANGIE: Yes I am Peter! Everybody in town is afraid

of wolves.

− PETER: oh, I see!

− ANGIE: I remember many stories. When I was

younger, I never went out alone. I always went with

my parents or friends to the countryside. Never, never

alone.

− SUSAN: Tell another story please.

− ANGIE : It´s late, very late. Tomorrow morning you

must look after the sheep.

− PETER: See you tomorrow.

− SAM and SUSAN: Good night.

− JIM and ANGIE : Good night dear.

SCENE 2 “ Pete cries wolf”

- SHEPHERD 1: hello Peter!

- PETER: hello!

- SHEPHERD 2: How are you today?

- PETER: I´m bored, very very bored. This job is the

same all the time.

- SHEPHERD 1: Yes, every day is the same, but it is a

good job. Someone has to take care the sheeps.

- PETER: Yes, I suppose you're right.

- SHEPHERD: We have a lot of time to think, to

enjoy nature.

- PETER: Yes, but every day is the same in the

countryside...

- SHEPHERD: Yes it is,,,,,O.K. Peter, we have to go.

- NARRATOR : And he started shouting....

- PETER: The wolf! The wolf! The wolf is coming!

(three times)

- NARRATOR: Some people came to see what was

happening. They brought picks and shovels, and

everything else they could find to scare the wolf.

- VILLAGER 1 : What's wrong?

- PETER: I saw the wolf over there! He's looking at us

right now!

- VILLAGER 2 : Where?

- PETER: He's behind those trees!

- VILLAGER 3 : I can't see anything!

- VILLAGER 4 : Are you sure Peter that you saw the

wolf?

- PETER: Yes, I am! He's moving! Look!

- VILLAGER 1, 2, 3, 4: Let's get him!

- NARRATOR: As the villagers approached the trees

where the wolf was supposed to be, Peter started

laughing.

- PETER: Ha, ha, ha, ha... It wasn't true! Ha, ha, ha,

ha... It was all lie! A joke! Ha, ha, ha, ha...

(SCENE 3) AND (SCENE 4)

REPEAT THE SITUATION

so they was very angry with him and spoke to him.

− VILLAGER 4 : I knew it!

− VILLAGER 1 : Why did you lie to us, Peter?!

− VILLAGER 2: You know this isn't funny!

− PETER: Yes it is! Ha, ha, ha!

− VILLAGER 3 : Let's go, we have work to do... and I

will talk to your uncle about this.

are scared of the wolf! Ha, ha, ha, ha.

PETER: At least I had a good time today!

SCENE 5

− Narrator: But what Peter didn't know, is that the

wolf was indeed hidden behind the trees, just

watching him.

That night the angry villagers came back to where

Peter was laughing. To organise a meeting to talk

about peter & his lies.

SCENE 5 -” THE SHEPHERD MEETING”

ANGIE: I see that everyone of us have been victims of

Peters tricks.

Villager 2: I think so too...

Villager 4: We must speak to Pete's aunt and tell her of

his lies.

Villager 13: hmm... I'm not sure, maybe we should talk

to Pete directly.

Villager 4 : I agree with you

Villager 9: If we speak to peter. We can stop this problem

right away.

Villager 6: No I think we really should speak to his aunt.

Villager 16: Yes, to his aunt, I agree with you.

Angie: Let's think whats better for peter, He's only a

young boy who is bored..

Villager 2: But yesterday he laughed at everyone! Thats

not good!

Villager 4: He is just a boy who want to play and have fun.

Alba: In my opinion, I think he needs to learn a lesson...

Villager 12: I know! I've got an idea!

Villager 19: What!? What!? Tell us!

Villager 12: We can dress up like a wolf!

ALL: NO NO NO!

Villager 26: It's better to talk with petes aunt!

Villager 16: Yes we agree!

Angie: So lets go to his aunts house and tell her!

Villager 2: Yes, that way his aunt can talk to him and Pete

can change, he can be a good

boy.

Villager 13: But it's not necessary for everyone to go to

her house, only 2 of us.

Villager 12: I can go this afternoon, I'm free!

Villager 19: I can't go, I need to buy food for my family..

Villager 6: I can go with you!

like to take care of sheep.
