Toby: We do have one rule though, Do not go to the castle.
Jack: Why?
Toby: Well let’s just say it’s not exactly safe.
(Munchkins march off)
Jack: I wonder why you can’t go to the castle. Is it because
its Dangerous, Scary or is there a really scary Giant who lives there
protecting his Goose who lays golden eggs?...
Hmm I think lets go find out.
Narrator: Then the ground started to shake and the sound of
huge footsteps was moving closer and closer to Jack. In fear Jack looked for a
place to go as he heard a mighty and powerful voice.
Giant: Fe Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!
Narrator: Jack shaked with fear as he searched for a place to
hide from the Giant
Giant: Fe Fi Fo Fum, I want to taste this Englishman in my
tum!
(Jack looks
up from behind his cover to gaze at the Giant)
Jack: The Giants going to eat me, I need to get out of
here.
Giant: Fe Fi Fo Fum, I think the Englishman wants to run!
Narrator: Jack looked for a way to get out but there was
nowhere to go, nowhere to run.
Jack: Theres nowhere to go I'm going to have to hide. I'm
going to need your help. When the Giant asks where I am you need to tell him
that you haven’t seen me. And that you don’t know where I am. Oh quick here he
comes.
Giant: Fe Fi Fo Fum, have you seen the Englishman!
Children: NOOOOOOOO!
Giant: Fe Fi Fo Fum, I can’t see any Englishman!
Narrator: So the Giant went to search elsewhere.
Jack: That was so close. Thanks for your help. Now I need to
get out of here, what way should I go ?
Goose: whatchoo doing?
Watch wear your going! who are
you anyway little giant ?
Jack: I’m
Jack and I’m not a giant I’m a real boy
Goose: Alright
Pinocchio! What’s the difference?
Jack: Well
I’m smaller and not as mean, (pause) what are you, a duck?
Goose: Excuse
me, does it look like I am a duck? Duck are small and stupid (Jack starts
backing away); I am not a duck, thank you very much. I’m a goose!
Jack: What’s
the difference?
Goose: Excuse
me. (add line) Where are you going?
Jack: Home
… I hope.
Goose: Home?
You mean somewhere not here? Somewhere else? Somewhere beyond these four walls?
Jack: Erm
Yes?
Goose: (gasp)
Tiny giant, take me with you, please!
Jack: (yelling)
I am not a giant!
(Goose covers Jacks mouth)
Goose: Lower your tiny voice! Or the
giant will hear us. (Pause to look around the room) Please take me with you, I
can’t take it no more, that big dude is mean, rude, ugly; unlike yourself might
I add. Pleeease!
Jack: Well
… I’m afraid I-
Goose: I
can give you gold, lots of it.
(Jack turns to the audience)
Jack: This
could solve all my family’s problems. (Looking at the goose) Fine but stay
close.
(Jack goes to exit stage left)
Goose:
Other way little giant.
(Jack turns around and exits stage
right)
Goose: My
saviour.
(Goose exits stage right)
Giant: Fe fi fo fum THE ENGLISHMAN HAS TAKEN MY GOOSE!
Narrator: Bellowed the Giant. Jack and The Goose looked at
each other with fear as they knew that if they were caught the giant would
gobble them up whole for lunch. Their only chance to escape will be to run to
the beanstalk and go home. So that’s
what they did.
(music)
Jack: Mum I'm home and..
Mum: Where have you been? I have been worried sick!
Jack: I climbed up the beanstalk mum..
Mum: WHAT ?! What
happened?
Jack: Well…(storytelling) I went up the beanstalk and found
this land on top of the clouds which had a huge castle in the distance, then I
met these people called Munchkins. They welcomed me to the Sky by singing and
dancing. Then I snuck off to the castle which they told me not to go to, but I
did anyway. I then, snuck under the door which was HUUUUUGE and everything was
massive! It belonged to a giant who tried to eat me, so I ran all the way home.
MUM: Well you have been busy … but Jack giants don’t exist.
Jack: But I have proof… (indicating the goose)
Mum: What a duck ?
Goose: EXCUSE ME?
Mum: Oh a talking Duck?
GOOSE: OH MY GOD? Is everyone here so silly.
Jack: Mum this is a goose who can lay golden eggs. Look I
have one here ?
Mum : Fantastic where did you get the goose from?
Jack: The Giants castle
Mum: So you stole the Giants goose?
Narrator: Then suddenly a huge voice bellowed from above.
Giant: Fe fi fo fum that Englishman will be my lunch.
Narrator: Jack his mum and the goose all looked at each other
in terror confused about what to do. Then Jack realised he only had one choice.
Jack : We are going to have to cut down the stalk.
Goose and Mum: WHAT?!
Jack: it’s the only way. Kids I need your help repeat after
me. Cut cut cut the stalk etc.
Narrator: The beanstalk then fell from the sky and crashed to
the floor. Jack had saved everyone with the Giant stuck in the sky.
Jack: We did it thank you kids!
Mother: Jack, you were so brave! I am so proud of you, I’m
sorry I ever doubted you
Jack: That’s okay mum, I’m just happy we’re safe now, and
we’ll never have to starve again!
Mother: now we have so much gold from the castle and the
goose, we can have a party!
Jack: YESS
(I’m a believer).
