Scene 1

Narrator : Once upon time,

there were three tortoises-a father,

a mother and a baby. One fine spring day, the baby tortoise said,

Baby Tortoise   : Mom, how's the weather today?

(코러스 -햇빛 그림)

Mother Tortoise : (그림카드를 보며) It's sunny. What a beautiful day!

Father Tortoise  : Yes, we have a really nice weather.

Baby Tortoise   : I want to go on a picnic.

Mother & Father Tortoise : That's a good idea.

(거북이 가족, 그 자리에서 일어나 걷는다)

(코러스 - 음악신호 주고 : 빰빠라 빰빠 빰빠~~ )

Tortoises Family: (Happily sing a song)

♬ We're going to go on a picnic ♬

We're going to go on a picnic.  We're gonna see deers and bears.

What a beautiful day!  Let's go for a picnic!)

(가족들 모여 머리를 맛대고 의논을 한다)

(의논을 한 뒤, 모두들 짐을 챙긴다)

(코러스 - 냉장고 문 등의 역할을 하며, 물건을 꺼내게 문을 열어준다)

Narrator : So they chose the place they would go to, a nice wood

some distance off, and they began to get their stuff together.

Baby Tortoise   : Mom, I want to take Kimbob.

Mother Tortoise : OK, my son.

Narrator : Then, the family worked together and they got some rolls of

Kimbob,	water, fruits, some snacks and everything they could

think of.  About three months later, the father tortoise said,

Father Tortoise  : Are you ready to go now?

Mother & Baby Tortoises : Yes, we are. Let's go now!

(거북이 가족, 등에 바구니를 모두 지고 걷기 시작한다)

Narrator   : And they set out with their baskets on their backs.

They walked and walked and walked.

(코러스 - 뿜빠 뿜빠 뿜빠 뿜빠~ 음악신호 준다)

(코러스를 제외한 장면 1의 거북이 내레이터 모두 퇴장-노래)

Tortoise Family: (Slowly sing a song)

♬ Walking, Walking ♬

Walking, walking, walking, walking. Nice weather (Oh, good~~) (x 2)

Tortoise family goes for a picnic.  have fun~ (x 2)

1년 6개월 만에 소풍가는 도중에 쉰다.

해외여행을 가던 토끼가족을 만난다.

Scene 2.

(코러스  - 덤불을 만들고 있다)

(거북이 가족이 천천히 지친 표정으로 들어와 앉는다)

(토끼 가족이 깡충깡충 걸음으로 뒤따라 들어온다)

Narrator   : In 1 year and 6 months, they sat down for a break.

At that moment, three hares -a father, a mother, and

a baby-were on the way for their world trip.

Father Hare    : (지쳤지만, 반가운 표정으로 )

Oh, Tortoise, my friend. Long time no see.

Father Tortoise : Oh, Hare, my friend. Nice to see you again.

(토끼 가족을 가리키며)

Who are they? Are they your family?

Father Hare     : Yes. This is my wife,

and this is my daughter.

Father Tortoise : Hello, nice to meet you.

Mother and Baby Hares : Nice to meet you, too.

Father Hare      : Anyway, What are you doing here?

Father Tortoise  : We're on the way to the woods for a picnic.

Father Hare      : Sounds great.

Father Tortoise  : And where are you going?

Father Hare      : Traveling around the world.

Mother Hare     : Honey, we have no time.

Father Hare     : Oh, yes. Tortoise, my friend. We have to go now.

Have a nice picnic. Bye~

Father Tortoise  : Thank you.

(코러스-덤불더미 역할의 코러스가 거북이 가족을 쳐다보며, )

Chorus    : Oh, my goodness. The tortoises are too slow.

And the hares are too fast.

(whispering) Hurry up, tortoises, hurry up, hurry up......

Father Tortoise  : Now, we have to go.

(거북이 가족이 다시 느린 걸음으로 걷는다)

Narrator   : So they set out again. And they knew just where they

wanted to go and they were about half-way there,

and in a year and a half they arrived at the picnic area.

Baby Tortoise     :  Thank God! At last, we are here!  Just in 3 years!

(아기 거북이는 여기 저기를 구경하며 걸어다닌다)

Mother Tortoise   :  But, happy time walking together.

Father Tortoise    :  I am so happy to be here.

3년만에 소풍지에 도착한다.

짐을 모두 풀었는데, 병따개가 없어서

아기 거북이는 집으로 돌아간다.

Scene 3.

Mother Tortoise    : Honey, Can you help me?

Father Tortoise    : Sure, I can.

Mother Tortoise    : I want to unpack these baskets.

Father Tortoise    : OK.

Narrator   : Mother and Father unpacked their baskets, spread out

the cloth, and arranged the food on it. It looked lovely.

(바구니를 열어 보자기를 펴고, 짐들을 풀기 시작한다. 음식을 차리고

마음에 들어한다-코러스)

Then the Mother Tortoise began to look into the picnic

baskets. She turned them all upside down and shook them.

(바구니를 뒤지다가 뒤엎으며 흔든다)

But they were all empty. Then Mother Tortoise said,

(바구니가 비어있다)

Mother Tortoise : We've forgotten the tin opener!

(잠시후, 아기 거북이를 바라보며,)

Son, you'll have to go back for it.

Baby Tortoise   : (당황하고 놀란 표정으로)

What! Me! Go all the way back?

Father Tortoise  : Nothing to it, son.

Mother Tortoise : (병따개 흉내를 내며)

We can't start without a tin-opener.

(두 손을 모으고) We'll wait for you.

Baby Tortoise   : Are you sure?  Don't  touch anything till I come back?

(새끼손가락을 걸며)  Do you promise?

Mother & Father Tortoises :  Yes, we promise.

(아기 거북이가 의심스러운 눈빛으로 아주 천천히, 못마땅한 표정으로 덤불을 지나 걸어간다)

Narrator    : So Baby tortoise walked away, and after a while

he was completely out of sight among the bushes.

And Father and Mother waited.

They waited and waited and waited.(모두 퇴장)

거북이 부부는 아들을 기다리는데, 해가 지나도 돌아오지 않는다. 너무 배가 고파서 김밥 한 개를 먹으려 하는데......

Scene 4.

Mother Tortoise : (배고픔에 배를 움켜쥐며,)

Oh, honey.  I'm so hungry

Father Tortoise  : Oh, my poor wife.  Honey, I'm so hungry, too.

But remember our promise.

Mother Tortoise  : I know, I know.

Narrator          : So they waited and waited.

(코러스 등장 - 한 해 한 해가 바뀐다...)

And another year went by, and another, and they got really

hungry. (거북이 부부는 배고픔에 괴로워한다)

At this moment, the Hare family was on their way back home

after their 3-year world trip.

(토끼 가족이 껑충껑충 뛰어 걸어들어온다)

Baby Hare      : Look! The Tortoise family is over there.

Mother Hare    : Look so tired.

Father Hare     : Oh, Tortoise, my friend.

What happened?

Father Tortoise  : Oh, Hare, my friend. We're just waiting for our baby.

Father Hare      : Your baby?

Mother Hare     : (아빠 토끼에게 속삭이며) No more questions.

Father Hare      : Ok, ok. Tortoise, my friend.

Sorry, but it's time to say goodbye.

See you next time. Bye~

Mother & Baby Hares : Bye~. Take care.

Father Tortoise: Bye.

(잠시후)

Mother Tortoise  : Honey... Don't you think we could have just one roll of Kimbob?

Father Tortoise   : Let's just have one Kimbob

while we're waiting.

Narrator          : They picked up a roll of Kimbob,

but just as they were going to eat it,

a little voice said,

Baby Tortoise    : (덤불 속에서 머리를 내밀며,...)

Aha

Aha, I knew you'd cheat.

It's a good thing I didn't start

going back for that tin-opener.
