SCRIPT:
SCENE I
(House-Backyard. Two frogs are in the backyard. One of them looks at the house where the Man and the Woman stand near the window)
FROG 1: Why are you staring at the house?.
FROG 2: Do you see that man and woman in the window?.
FROG 1: Yes, why?.
FROG 2: I’m afraid they don’t like us.
FROG 1: Why do you say that?.
FROG 2: Because I have seen them covering their ears when we sing.
FROG 1: Are you sure?.
FROG 2: Do you think I’m lying?.
FROG 1: No. But, maybe it’s not what you think. Anyway, they also bother us with their loud music and conversation.
FROG 2: I know. But we have to admit that we sing a lot at night.
FROG 1: I hate when that woman shouts. Her voice is so disturbing!.
FROG 2: And how about your noisy aunt?.
FROG 1: What about her?.
FROG 2: She wakes up everybody with her awful songs. You know that!.
FROG 1: And how about the politician and the priest who come to the pond and fill the air with their terrible sounds.
FROG 2: We should try to behave better than those humans.
FROG 1: What do you have in mind?.
FROG 2: Let’s stay quiet at night, and let’s keep our songs in our hearts.
FROG 1: It’s going to be hard. But, fine, let’s do it for a night or two, or even three.
FROG 2: Good night, then.
FROG 1: Sweet dreams!.
(They close their eyes)
SCENE II
(Frog 1 and 2 are in the pond. The Woman is inside the house looking out the window to the pond. The Man enters)
MAN: Have you seen yourself in t he mirror?. You look terrible!.
WOMAN: (yelling) I know, I have dark circles around my eyes. I couldn’t sleep all night. In fact, I haven’t slept in three nights!.
MAN: Why?. What’s worrying you?.
WOMAN: Nothing worries me. But, there’s something wrong with those frogs. They have been so quiet lately.
MAN: That’s good news, isn’t it?.
WOMAN: No!. Their songs make me sleepy, and they haven’t been singing for three nights. I really need a good night sleep!.
MAN: Calm down. You don’t have to yell at me.
WOMAN: Don’t you understand. I’m going crazy!.
(Frog 1 and 2 hear the woman yelling)
FROG 1: We’re also going crazy, right?
FROG 2: Yes!. It’so hard for us to be quiet. Besides, we don’t have to stop singing just so that others can fill their emptiness with noise.
(Frog 1 and 2 start to sing)
THE END
