SCRIPT:

(Rabbit hops in the forest.  He sees a silver coin on the ground and picks it up)

RABBIT: This is my lucky day!.   What should I buy?. Hmmm, I have to think.  I can’t buy a piece of bread,  or candies, or cookies,  because if I do, I will eat them and then I will have nothing.  No food, and no money.  Let me see.  What can I do? (He keeps thinking). I know what to do!  I’ll buy a guitar!.

(He puts the silver coin in his pocket and walks to the store)

CLERK: Hello Mr. Rabbit.  Are you looking for something special?.

RABBIT: Yes.  I want to buy a guitar.

CLERK: A guitar?.  I didn’t know you could play the guitar.

RABBIT: Oh, yes I do, yes, sir!.

CLERK:  (takes a guitar and gives it to the Rabbit) This is the best one I have. But I must tell you…it’s very expensive. (Rabbit takes the guitar.  He takes out the silver coin from his pocket and gives it to him) Where did you get this? .  Oh, never mind.  Enjoy your new guitar!. (He puts the silver coin in his pocket)

RABBIT: Thank you, I will.

(Rabbit leaves the store.  He walks to the forest.  He sits on a rock and starts to play the guitar.  The Squirrel, the Hare, the Deer, the Skunk and the Fox approach him)

SQUIRREL: Oh, what a beautiful song!.

HARE: Shhh, be quiet!.

DEER: Rabbit, where did you get the guitar?.

FOX: I didn’t know you could play the guitar.

RABBIT: (stops playing the guitar) Did you like it?.

FOX: Yes, we all did.

SKUNK: Rabbit, did you know that I can also play the guitar?.  Let me show you. Give me your guitar.

RABBIT: No, sorry, but I won’t.

SKUNK: Why not?.

RABBIT: Because you can steal it from me.

SKUNK: Steal it from you.?   Why would I?.

RABBIT: Because you might like it so much, that probably you will not give it back to me.

SKUNK: You hurt my feelings, Rabbit.  But I swear I will not steal it from you.

RABBIT: Very well, but just for a few minutes.

(Rabbit gives the guitar to the Skunk.  Skunk starts playing the guitar)

DEER: Not bad.  Not bad.

SQUIRREL: What’s the name of that song?.

HARE: It’s called “I Did It My Way”.

RABBIT: Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. It’s enough, give it to me now.

SKUNK: Just let me play one more song.

RABBIT: I have to go.  Give it to me, Skunk.

SKUNK: No, I will not give it back to you.

RABBIT: What?.

SKUNK: You gave it to me.  Don’t you remember?.

RABBIT: That is not true!.  I never gave you my guitar!.

SKUNK: Yes, you did.  You told me to keep it.

DEER: You’re lying, Skunk.

HARE: Give it to him.

(Rabbit cries)

SQUIRREL: Don’t cry, Rabbit.  Soon you will have your guitar.

FOX: Right, Skunk?.

SKUNK: No!.  I want to keep playing the guitar.  Where should I sit?.

(Squirrel, Deer, Hare, and  Fox look at each other and smile)

HARE: That is a good place to sit, Skunk.

SKUNK: Where?

FOX: Over there.  Look!.

SKUNK: You’re right.

(Skunk sits on the ground near an ant house.  He starts to play the guitar)

DEER: You play so beautifully!.

(Some ants start to bite Skunk)

SKUNK: Take the guitar, Fox!.

FOX: What’s wrong?.

SKUNK: No!.  No!.  I hate ants!.

(Skunks rolls on the ground frantically.  He stands up and runs away)

SQUIRREL, HARE, DEER, SKUNK,  FOX: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.  Good bye, Skunk!.

(Fox gives the guitar to Rabbit)

FOX: Play another song, please, Rabbit.

RABBIT: Sure, my friends!.

(Rabbit plays the guitar. Squirrel, Hare, Deer, and Fox clap)
