Narrator 1: THE WIZARD, THE FAIRY AND THE MAGIC CHICKEN
Narrator 2: There once lived a Wizard, a Fairy, and a Magic Chicken. Each thought, "I am
the greatest in the world." And each was very jealous of the other two.
Wizard: "MY wand has a MOON on it,"
Narrator 3: said the Wizard.
Fairy: "MY wand has a STAR on it,"
Narrator 1: said the Fairy.
Chicken: "MY wand has a PICKLE on it,"
Narrator 2: said the Magic Chicken.
Wizard: "I can kiss a pig and turn it into a bicycle,"
Narrator 3: said the Wizard. The Fairy said,
Fairy: "That's nothing, I can kiss a bicycle and turn it into a bowl of soup."
Narrator 1: The Magic Chicken said,
Chicken: "I can do better than that, I can kiss a bowl of soup and turn it into a
singing frog."
Narrator 2: Each one always tried to outdo the others.
Wizard: "I can make a hairy monster with sharp teeth!"
Narrator 3: bellowed the Wizard. The Fairy screeched,
Fairy: "I can make a bumpy monster with nine legs!"
Chicken: "I can make a dotted monster with buggy eyes!"
Narrator 1: yelled the Magic Chicken.
Narrator 2: The monsters glared at the magicians and loudly said, "GRRRRRROLPH!"
Narrator 3: For the very first time the magicians agreed. They shouted,
Wizard, Fairy, and Chicken: "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Wizard: "I will make a cloud to hide behind,"
Narrator 1: gasped the Wizard, but that didn't stop the monsters.
Fairy: "I will make thunder to scare them,"
Narrator 2: puffed the Fairy, but the monsters were not frightened.
Chicken: "I will make lightning. That will make them go away,"
Narrator 3: cried the Magic Chicken, but they would not go away. Nothing worked.
Wizard: "We'd better..."
Narrator 1: said the Wizard.
Fairy: "...try something...."
Narrator 2: said the Fairy.
Chicken: "...together!"
Narrator 3: said the Magic Chicken. So they chanted,
Wizard, Fairy, and Chicken: "One, two, three, GO!"
Narrator 1: The cloud and the thunder and the lightning came together.
Narrator 2: Suddenly it rained.
Narrator 3: It rained so hard and the monsters got so wet that they shrank until they
were only very little monsters and not scary at all.
Wizard, Fairy, and Chicken: "We did it!"
Narrator 1: cheered the Wizard, the Fairy, and the Magic Chicken.
Wizard: "I must say, though, my cloud made the rain,"
Narrator 2: said the Wizard. The Fairy said,
Fairy: "Well, it was because of my thunder."
Chicken: "But not without my lightning,"
Narrator 3: said the Magic Chicken.
Narrator 1: There once lived a Wizard, a Fairy, and a Magic Chicken.
Narrator 2: They argued a lot, but deep down they were very good friends.

ReplyDeleteThis is the story of a wizard
ReplyDeleteWho wandered the enchanted forest in pain
Cause in spite of his magic
He hadn´t been able to find any love.
The moonlight his only one friend
Gave him the energy to tolerate,
The torment that he was feeling
Taking the blame for his own loneliness.
It´s that he knew very well that in his life,
He was supposed not to escape
his endless fate.
If someone should love you once,
you´ll know in time
You´ll only have to be ready
to spot the moment.
He was walking down the forest
When he felt a stranger was looking at him.
It was is beautiful fairy
The one he had always been trying to meet.
From that moment it was written
The fairy and the wizard
Were longing to be.
Together in the deep forest
Loving each other for eternity.
The evil which was always there
Just couldn´t bear
To see them happy and bright
With great delight
And with his anger he attacked
Until he put her to sleep
And she fell into a bad dream
Where she could not feel.
The wizard wandered his castle
Looking for power
To bring his love back.
And to return to his fairy
The most tender look
that she had always had.
He didn´t stop for a second
Planning the best way
To make her wake up
And to save her from the evil
Spirit who´d managed to make him feel sad.
And now he knows what love is
And that he´ll have
Enough power to tolerate
The fairy´s absence.
He knows one day he will see
His lovely fairy come back
And they will happily live forever after.

In a way, we are magicians. We are alchemists, sorcerers and wizards. We are a very strange bunch. But there is great fun in being a wizard.
