SCENE 4
* on white lights *
Mother: Tina, time to go to sleep!

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things
* flicker lights , rain & thunderstorm sound effects *
* children enters stage *
* play My Favorite Things 0:15 *

Maria: (sings)
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes,
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters that melt into springs,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when Im feeling
sad,
I simple remember my favorite things.
And then I dont feel so bad
SCENE 5
Tina: Mommy, mommy! Wake up! There are bunnies nearby
our tent! Can I pet them?
Mother: (rises up) Sorry, sweetie. You cant. They might have
rabies. But we can look at them at a distance. Oh, look!
There are 3 bunnies! (bunny #1 will fight bunny #3)
Tina: Mommy, why are they fighting?
Mother: Maybe because the other bunny is jealous, thats
why its being mean to the other bunny. Just like what
happened in the story.
Tina: What happened, mommy?
