(Giggling)


I'm so bored!


Boy, I hate it when it rains.


I sure wish we had something to do.


Me too!


(All sighing)


Well...


Let's not give up.


I think we should try and think


Of something really different to do.


Mm-hmm. Yeah.


Uh...


There's nothing.


Uh...i forgot what we're supposed


To be thinking about.


Hmm."


We're thinking of something to do, loulou."


Loulou: oh."


Horace: well..."


I can't think of anything at all."


Graziella: wimzie..."


I'm leaving now, sweetheart."


I'm gonna help daddy with the big talent show"


They're doing at the firehouse."


A talent show?"


Graziella: uh-huh."


It's a great big show with singing and dancing"


That the firemen put on every year."


Oh, can we come with you? We've got nothing to do!"


Jonas: oh, yeah! Can we?"


Not this time, wimzie."


All the grown-ups will be busy"


And no one will be able to look after you."


Mm-hmm..."


Wimzie: aw..."


All right."


(Whining)"


I'm sure you'll come up with something fun to do."


I'll be back right after lunch. Bye-bye, now."


(Whining) aw, I'm so bored."


(Sighing)"


(Both sighing)"


Hey!"


I know what!"


What?"


Mommy's helping out with the fireman's show."


So, why couldn't we put together"


A show for her when she comes back home?"


What kind of show do you have in mind?"


How about a play?"


Oh, yeah!"


Let's do "the three little pigs"."


Mm, yeah, let's."


(Wimzie and jonas chuckling)"


I'll huff and I'll puff! Watch out, pigs!"


Whoahh!"


Huff and puff..."


Aaahh!"


And I'm gonna blow your little house down!"


Aaahh!"


Oh, wait. Why don't we do"


"Goldilocks and the three bears"?"


Yeah!"


(Roaring)"


Aaahh! Ooh."


Who has been sleeping in my bed?"


(Giggling)"


That's too scary!"


Let's do "snow white and the seven dwarfs.""


Yeah!"


Wimzie: oh, no, we can't."


There aren't enough of us to be all the dwarfs."


Oh."



Oh, I've got it!"


Let's do the story of "cinderella"!"


Yeah! Cinderella!"


I wanna be cinderella!"


Oh, cinderella!"


Um..."


You're too small to be cinderella."


But I really want to be cinderella!"


No. I wanna!"


I wanna be the boxer!"


(Giggling) come on, horace."


There's no boxer in cinderella!"


There's a prince, there's a-"


Okay, I'll be the boxing prince."


No, I wanna be the prince!"


Horace: hey!"


Come on, I said it first."


Then I'm cinderella,"


Because I said it first too!"


Uh-uh."


Loulou, you'd be... A perfect fairy godmother!"


No, I'll be cinderella!"


The prince!"


No, horace, you can be the evil stepfather."


Jonas, it's stepmother."


Oh. Hmm."


I have to be cinderella."


And I have to be the prince."


No! I wanna be the prince."


Horace did say it first, jonas."


What?"


Yeah, me too!"


I said cinderella before you did."


Jonas: okay,"


Never mind!"


If I can't be the prince,"


Then I'm not gonna be in your silly old play!"


And if I'm not cinderella, I won't either!"


Wimzie: well, too bad!"


You won't be in the play!"


Aw, I guess we can't do it, then."

(All sighing)"

(Giggling)"


Something tells me you haven't found anything to do."


Yes, we did."


We were gonna put on a great play, but we-"


But...me and loulou"


Both wanted to be cinderella."


And I wanted to be the prince,"


But so did horace, so..."


I see."


It sounds like you have a dilemma."


Huh? A what?"


Yaya: a dilemma!"


It's a special kind of problem."


For example,"


Two people want to play the same part,"


But it just cannot be done."


And...that's a dilemma?"


Yaya: uh-huh."


Hmm. How can we solve it?"


Well, why don't we hold some tryouts, hmm?"


Jonas: oh, you mean, like..."


Everybody has a chance to try out for the same part?"


Yaya: that's right! And..."


Why not let bo decide who's best for each part?"


I'm sure this little fellow"


Will make an excellent judge!"


(Stammering) excewent jud!"


Uh-huh!"


(Giggling) end of the dilemma!"



Okay, okay."


Which part of the story"


Should we use for the tryouts?"


Well, in the beginning,"


Cinderella's fairy godmother"


Helps her to go to the ball."


But the prince isn't in that part."


Ah."


I know!"


How 'bout when the prince dances with cinderella?"


No, the fairy godmother isn't there."


Yaya: aha!"


The fairy godmother is important."


She's the one who helps cinderella"


Meet the prince!"


(Giggling)"


Jonas: looks like we have"


Another dilemma!"


Well, I just like the boxing part."


Oof, oof!"


(Laughing)"


Wimzie: horace,"


There isn't any boxing in cinderella!"


Yeah!"


Why don't you do the very end of the story,"


When the prince brings the glass slipper"


To cinderella's house?"


And the fairy godmother can help out the prince!"


Oh, excellent! That way,"


Everyone will have a chance"


To try out for the part they like best."


So, do we all agree?"


Wimzie and loulou: oh, yes!"


No more dilemma! Yay!"


Yeah, yay! Come on, let's go!"


(Giggling)"


Yaya: all right."


For the first time around,"


It's..."


Loulou!"


(Chuckling) ah."


Yaya: ...who'll be cinderella."


Oh, yippee! Ahh!"


And horace will try out"


For the prince."


Yay!"


How come horace gets to go first?"


Well, someone has to go first,"


Don't they, jonas?"


But you'll be prince next time around, hmm?"


Well...oh, all right."


Yaya: good."


This time I'll be the wicked stepmother"


And you'll be the fairy godmother, okay?"


The godmother?"


But that's for a girl!"


Ooh, jonas."


A long time ago, when I was very small,"


All the girls' parts were played by boys, you know!"


(Chuckling) people must've laughed at them."


Yaya: oh, no, horace."


Everyone said they were wonderful actors"


Because they played the girls' parts so well."


That's how it was in the theatre in those days."


Oh."


Well, okay."


I'll be the fairy godmother."


Hey, cool!"


And this is gonna be my magic wand...hii-ya!"


(Chuckling)"


Okay, we'll start where the prince brings the slipper"


To cinderella's house."


Good, and now bo and I will sit and watch!"


Bo excewent jud!"


Oh, boy. Yeah."


Well, come on, guys. We better get started."


Time's a-wasting."


Uh, I'm gonna start, okay?"


Okay, I'll be the doorbell."


(Clearing throat)"


(Singing) ding-dong."


You pigs, let me in!"


Or I'll huff and puff..."


(Grunting)"


Huff and puff..."


Uh, horace..."


Oh, hey, wait! That's-"


And I'll blow your little house down!"


Horace!"


Horace..."


(Giggling) you're in the wrong story."


(Horace chuckling)"


I don't care. I like to say that."


(Laughing)"


(Clearing throat) well, now. I'm the wicked stepmother."


Who's at my door? Speak!"


(Clearing throat)"


It's the prince!"


Ah!"


You wanna box?"



(All laughing)"


You're not supposed to box, horace."


You have to find cinderella!"


Oh."


(Clearing throat)"


(Imaginary door creaks)"


Come in then, young man."


(Gasping) you really are the prince!"


Oh, can this be true?"


I'm standing here, aren't i?"


Of course it's true!"


(Laughing)"


Wimzie: fine."


Jonas, you come in now."


Okay. (Clearing throat)"


Fairy godmother's who I am,"


And my job is to help the prince find"


What's her name... Uh, cinderella!"


When she took off at midnight..."


Yeah!"


Cinderella left behind her..."


Her beautiful glass sneaker!"


(Laughing)"


Huh?"


Sneaker? Oh, grandma..."


Huh?"


He's not doing it right!"


(Giggling) not glass sneaker, glass slipper, horace!"


Huh. All right."


If the slipper fits you,"


You will become my own princess!"


Let us have a look at your foot, wicked stepmother!"


(Grunting and sniffing)"


Whoa!"


She's got stinky feet."


(All laughing)"


Wimzie: I do not!"


But you're the wicked stepmother,"


And wicked stepmothers always have stinky feet!"


Huh?"


(Grunting)"


Nope,"


This dainty slipper won't fit her foot!"


Your foot's as big as a ship!"


Wimzie(crying) my whole life is ruined!"


Oh."


Try the shoe on cinderella's foot."


Oh, I'm sure"


That slipper isn't going to fit her."


You're not allowed to talk back to a prince."


Stepmother,"


I think you better just go to your room!"


(Irritated sigh) he can't say that!"


(Yaya laughing)"


Wimzie: you can't make a wicked stepmother"


Go to her room!"


Ah, but he's the prince;"


He can do what he wants."


Carry on, now! Prince...?"


(Clearing throat) come here, cinderella."


Will you try this glass slipper on?"


Oh, yes, mister prince!"


(Jonas grunting excitedly)"


Jonas: oh, how wonderful!"


The glass slipper fits her foot perfectly."


Oh, good."


So, miss cinderella,"


You're coming back to the palace with me."


Ah, I am so happy!"


'Cause now, I can get away from my mean old stepmother."


(Gasping)"


So, if cinderella goes to the palace,"


Who is going to wash the dishes?"


Um, godmother?"


Yes?"


Would you please turn"


This wicked old stepmother..."


Into a frog?"


You only have to ask me once!"


Abracadabra!"


You're...a little green frog!"


Ribbit. Ribbit."


(Both laughing)"


That was excellent!"


Well, how about a little snack,"


Then we'll trade parts and do it again, hmm?"


Horace and jonas: yeah, oh, boy!"


(Laughing)"


(Bird chirping)"


Yaya: ah!"


That was mighty tasty."


Mm-hmm."


(Crunching)"


I bet cinderella never got to eat"


Yummy snacks like this at her house."


Well, it's time to try again!"


Yaya: so it is."


And this time, jonas is the prince,"


And wimzie will be cinderella!"


Yeah."



Knock, knock, knock."


(Singing) ding-dong."


Why, who's that at my door?"


Gracious greetings, wicked stepmother."


It is i,"


The prince in charge of all this land."


Come in, my dear mister prince."


I came to tell you that last night at the palace,"


I was dancing with a lovely lady,"


But she left in a rush without leaving her phone number."


I'm the fairy godmother."


It's my job to help the prince"


Find himself a princess."


Do you wanna box?"


No, no, no boxing here."


Huh? That's not right!"


(Laughing)"


Why don't you try and fit the glass slipper, uh..."


On this wicked lady's foot?"


Hmm?"


Horace: oh, yeah."


Uh, um..."


Ah, here it is."


(Grunting) oh, boy."


Her feet are bigger than an elephant's!"


(All laughing)"


I don't have big feet!"


They're stinky, too."


(All except loulou laughing)"


Oh, yaya,"


Tell him it's not true!"


Oh, we're only pretending, loulou."


(Chuckling)"


May I try the slipper on,"


Mister prince, sir?"


Well, sure!"


Give me your dainty foot."


Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, wait!"


The prince says that!"


So, uh, what is your name, my pretty young maiden?"


My name is cinderella,"


Because of all the cinders I sweep up every day"


From the fireplace."


Oh."


Good thing you don't dig ditches;"


Then your name would be...ditchella!"


(Yaya and bo laughing)"


May I have, uh, the shoe?"


Yeah, yeah."


(Gasping)"


Why look, it fits you perfectly!"


I have found my princess!"


Ah!"


You- uh, turn the old"


Stepmother into a broom."


What? A broom?"


I was thinking of a beetle."


Well, I'm the prince,"


And I want her to be a broom!"


Yeah?"


Well, you don't have much imagination."


Ahem..."


Some prince."


Shish kaboobie, and shish kababoom,"


You're now a sweeping broom!"


Oh my,"


That was thrilling theatre!"


And now it's time for young judge bo"


To decide who will play which part."


Aha!"


Bo: bo decide!"


Okay, who do you think ought to play cinderella?"


Hmm...horce!"


(All gasping)"


Not horace!"


But..."


I don't want to be cinderella."


Huh?"


I wanna be the prince!"


And who do you think should be the prince, bo?"


Mmm...lou!"


(Gasping) me?"


Huh?"


No, I'm supposed to be the prince, bo!"


If I can't be the prince,"


Then I don't wanna be in the play!"


Me neither!"


If I'm not cinderella,"


Then you can't make me be in the play!"


Hmm."


Okay, then none of you have to be in the play."


All except wimzie: huh? What?"


Wimzie: we just won't do"


The silly old play!"


We'll go back to being bored like before."


Question..."

I'm so bored!


Me too.


Me three!


Me .


All: aww...


Graziella: hi there, everybody.


Well, my goodness, it's quiet in here, hmm!


We were going to put on a cool play.


Horace: but...


We had a dilemma.


We got into a great big argument


About who would play which part.


Uh-huh.


We had a dilemma like that at the firehouse today!"


What happened?


Was there an argument?


Oh, yes, because everyone wanted to go first.


Oh, yeah, that's a dilemma!


And...and...and were the boxers fighting too?


(Sighing)


Boxers?


Oh, I see.


There weren't any boxers, right?


(Graziella chuckling)


Finally we came up with the idea


Of picking numbers out of a hat,


So it would be fair.


The person who picked number one got to go first!"


Oh!


Why couldn't we do the same thing


For our play?


All: oh, yeah, sure!


What a great idea! Let's do it!


Another dilemma bites the dust!


(Laughing) yeah!


So, I've drawn pictures of cinderella,


The wicked stepmother, the prince,


And the fairy godmother,


And you've each taken one


Out of the hat.


The picture you've chosen


Will be the part you're gonna play.


Huh.


Oh.


Good.


Now then,


Jonas, what part did you pick for yourself?


Rats!


I'm the wicked stepmother.


And...and...and...


And I'm cinderella!


(Laughing)


Aw... Humph!


Great. I have to be the dumb prince!


Ah.


I guess that leaves you, wimzie,


For the old fairy godmother.


Mm-hmm. It's all right.


Good.


Mummy, you go away now while we get ready.


Okay.


Jonas, horace and loulou: yeah! Bye.


(Clearing throat)


Horce!


Greetings.


Ladies and gentlemen,


The wimzie players are proud to present to you


The story of...


Uh, uh...


Cinderella! More or less.


(Whispering) I'm going, I'm going!


(Gasping) ahhh!


Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up,"


Giddy-up, giddy-up!



Knock, knock, knock.


Ahem...is this where the wicked stepmother lives?"


(In old woman's voice) um, uh, uh...yes, it is!"


Well, I am prince loulou.


Ooh!


And I'm the wimzie godmother!


(Chuckling)


Whoop-de-doo!


The prince has come to see little old me?


Do come in.


Come in, come in.


I don't mind telling you,


Dear prince, you're awfully handsome.


Thank you, ma'am.


And you are very, very ugly, you old stepmother, you."


Oh, gee!


Oh, thank you.


Well now, why have you come to see me?


Prince loulou has brought a lovely glass slipper."


We think it must belong to


Someone who lives in this house.


Oh, I'm positive it's mine.


I was at the ball last night!


Mm-hmm...


Well, if it fits you, then you can marry me


And you'll come and live in my huge palace,


And...


And I suppose we could watch some tv


And, uh, and go for a swim in my pool.


(Giggling)


Horace(high-pitched) hello...


It is i, horacella.


Anyone feel like boxing?


Horace!


(Laughing)


There's not going to be any boxing in this show!"


Just... Thought I'd try.


As for the slipper, I want to be the first to try it on!"


Mm-hmm.


Whatever you say, stepmother.


Jonas: oh, great!


(Grunting)


Sorry, it can't be done.


It won't even fit your big toe!


Oh!


Ow!


Oh, I'm so terribly sorry, wimzie godmother.


Ahem! What about me?


(Stammering)


Out!


Loulou: yeah!


You've got it, wimzie godmother.


Why don't you try it on horacella?


(Wimzie clearing throat)


Okey-dokey, prince.


This is our last chance!


Huh?


Graziella and yaya(breathless) oh!


Why, she was born to wear this shoe!


Yahoo!


What do you say we box to celebrate?


(Grunting)


My princess, I'm asking you to marry me!


(Horace grunting)


Huh? Huh?


No way! I'm not marrying anyone.


She doesn't mean you, horace;


She means horacella!


See?


Oh. Well, then,


I accept.


Oh, and what about me?


(Laughing)


Can I come and live in the palace


With you too?


No!


'Cause you're a wicked bad old meanie!


(In normal voice) that's not nice!


Wimzie: and besides,


You're ugly!


Yeah! And yucky!


Wimzie godmother,


Turn this wicked stepmother into a hen!


If you say so.


Hi-diddle-dee-den!


You're a big fat hen!


Yeah.


(Clucking)


Prince loulou,


You may now kiss the lovely horacella.


Hmm? Huh?


Oh, no. No one's kissing me!


Bleah!


The prince and horacella


Will be getting married!


Yeah?


That means they have to kiss each other.


Oh, yuck.


Don't make me do it.


Hey, if I have to turn into a hen,



You can sure kiss the prince, pal!


Ha-ha!


Oh, no!


Aaah!


Horace: yuck!


And so they lived happily ever after.


(Graziella, yaya and bo applaud)


Yaya: bravo!


That has got to be


One of the most entertaining plays


I've ever seen!


But, kids,


There's something even more important.


I know! It's that we solved...


Our dilemma!


(All laughing)
