Ryaba The Hen
Grandmother:
I am Grandmother.
Merry and kind.
Grandfather:
I am Grandfather.
My beard is white.
Hen:
I am a hen.
Pretty and bright.
Mouse:
And I am a mouse.
I run at night.
Все становятся в круг, водят хоровод и поют песенку, изображая часы. Они «прогоняют» мышку, показывая, что часы пробили «one».
Chorus:
Hickory-dickory-dock,
The mouse ran on the clock.
The clock struck one.
The mouse ran down.
Hickory-dickory-dock.
Grandmother:
I can cook pancakes.
Grandfather:
I can tell fairy-tales.
Hen:
I can clean the house.
Mouse:
And I am a poor mouse.
I am lonely. I am sad.
No friends! And I’m not glad.
Hen:
Look! I’ve got a golden egg!
Grandmother and Grandfather:
Wow!
Mouse:
And I will bite your leg now! Am!
Hen:
Ouch! Oh, why? Oh, why?
Grandmother:
Don’t cry!
Grandfather:
Don’t cry!
Grandmother:
We’ve got a trap in the house!
Grandfather:
Let’s catch the evil mouse!!!
Все становятся в круг, водят хоровод вокруг «кусочка сыра» и поют песенку.
Chorus:
Here we go round the piece of cheese,
Piece of cheese, piece of cheese.
Here we go round the piece of cheese
On a cold and frosty morning.
This is the way we catch the mouse,
Catch the mouse, catch the mouse.
This is the way we catch the mouse (!)
On a cold and frosty morning.
К концу песенки мышка забегает в круг, хватает сыр и «попадается».
Hen:
Look! Aha!
The mouse is here!
Mouse:
Oh dear!
Oh dear!
Grandmother:
Go away, you evil mouse!
Grandfather:
Never come to our house !!!
Mouse:
I am sorry! What a shame!
I will never do the same!
Look! My heart is not a stone.
I am sad. I live alone!
Hen:
Oh, my dear poor thing!
Come to me. Here is my wing.
Let’s shake hands!
We can be your friends!
Все берутся за руки и поют песенку о дружбе.
Chorus:
We’re all friends together,
together, together.
We’re all friends together.
Hip, hip, hip hurray!
