第一场:丑小鸭出世
场景:夏天,绿树,青草,白栅栏。丑小鸭躲在模拟的蛋壳内,鸭妈妈在蛋壳前面做孵蛋的样子,另外4只鸭蛋围住鸭妈妈,趴在地上成圆弧状。
音乐:(有鸟叫,知了叫等)及舞台布景组合出一幅恬静、温暖的乡村夏日风光图。
画外音:It is warm, A mother duck lies in the stook, waiting for the birth of her children.(太阳暖烘烘的,鸭妈妈卧在稻草堆里,等她的孩子们出世。)
鸭妈妈:Well, my babies, come out quickly please. I’m tired.(伸懒腰)哎,我的孩子们,你们怎么还不出世呀,可把妈妈累坏了!
鸭妈妈抚摸着鸭蛋,突然,一只鸭蛋动了一下。小鸭1站了起来,看了一下周围的世界说:
Oh, what a beautiful world!“哦,多么美丽的世界啊!”
接着,另外3只小鸭从蛋壳里逐渐在妈妈的抚摸中钻出来,东张西望,看到妈妈后,惊喜地跑过去,
喊:Hi, mum! / Hi, Mummy!妈妈!妈妈!………
小鸭4:(指着大蛋)Mum, what’s this ? Why not crack? 咦,妈妈,这是谁?还不出来呀?
鸭妈妈:Don’t mention it, I spent too much time on it, but it still has no change.
别提了,妈妈在他身上花的功夫最多,可他硬是不见一点动静。
(突然,发出一声特别刺耳的破裂声,蛋裂开,丑小鸭慢慢伸伸懒腰钻出来,大家蹲在地上抬头仔细看着那只小鸭,先是非常惊奇,然后惊叫,4只小鸭倒地,鸭妈妈也非常失望地看着丑小鸭。)
丑小鸭:Hi, friends! Nice to meet you!
众小鸭惊异、交头接耳。
小鸭2:Wow, his feather is gray, it’s too rube!呀!他的毛是灰灰的,太土了。
小鸭3:Look! His mouth is so big that he can swallow the whole pond near our home. 瞧!她的嘴巴那么大,可吞下我们家门口的池塘了。
齐声:It’s just an “ugly ducking”! We don’t like stay with you.(他可真是一只“丑小鸭”。我们不想和你呆在一起)
鸭妈妈:Ah! Why is she so ugly? She shouldn’t come into this world!
(鸭妈妈看着丑小鸭,摇头做无可奈何状。)
小鸭4:Mum, let’s play games, OK?
鸭妈妈:OK
小鸭(齐):Yeah!
(播放的欢快音乐。小鸭们随着音乐玩游戏,并不时发出嬉笑声。丑小鸭也想和她们一起游戏。)
