Narr 4             … little did they know who they were going to meet.

SONG 5 : BIG BAD WOLF

During the song the wolves enter, and dance.

Wilf                [Gruffly] ‘Ello everybody. I’m Wilf the wolf and I eat sheep.

Winnie            I’m Winnie the wolf and I eat sheep too.

Walter            I’m Walter the wolf and I just love to eat a scrummy sheep.

Wendy            I’m Wendy the wolf and I’m a vegetarian.

     [The sheep enter]

Wilf                ‘Ello little sheep, are you hungry?

Sandy             No, I’ve eaten so much grass I’m full up.

Winnie            Are you sure your tummy isn’t rumbling just a little bit?

Susie              No, I’m not at all peckish.

Walter            Well WE ARE STARVING, and it’s TIME for TEA!

Wendy            Run sheep, run … back to your good shepherd! Wilf wants to eat you up.

     [A race around the stage ensues. Lots of bleating and shouts for Sam]

Sam               [Enters brandishing his shepherd’s crook, his flock following on.]

     Go and pick on somebody your own size. Or I’ll have you for my dinner.

                     [He beats the Wilf with his crook, the wolves run off and Sandy and

                     Susie cower behind Sam]

Sandy             Oh Sam we were so frightened.

Sam                [Addresses the flock] So you see, my dear little sheep, how dangerous it

                      can be to stray away from the fold. You must learn to do what you are

                      told.

                      [Angels enter, arms raised. They stand behind Sam, who does not see

                      Them]

Susie               [All the sheep cower] Oh no, this is really scary.

Sam                Well it’s over now Susie. Calm down, you are frightening the others.

Susie               [Looking at the angels] This is really very, VERY scary.
