Narrator 3: So the donkey left the farm and headed down the road to Bremen.

Narrator 4: By and by the donkey met an old dog.

Donkey: Good morning, Dog! How are you this beautiful day?

Donkey: Come with me to the town of Bremen. Together we can be wonderful musicians.

Narrator 1: So the dog and the donkey headed down the road.

Narrator 2: By and by they met a cat.

Donkey: Come with us to the town of Bremen. Together we can be wonderful musicians.

Narrator 1: So the rooster, the cat, the dog, and the donkey headed down of Bremen.

Narrator 2: The animals walked all day but they did not reach the town of Bremen.

Donkey: Come, my friends. Let’s rest under this big tree for the night.

Narrator 3: The rooster flew up into the tree to get a look around. Suddenly he called out…

Rooster: We are in luck my friends! I see a light. Perhaps there is a house for us to sleep in.

Narrator 4: The animals followed the rooster to the light. There they found a little house.

                  The donkey peeked in the window.

Narrator 1: The donkey saw a band of robbers inside the little hose. The robbers were so busy counting their money that they did not see the donkey.

Donkey: My friends we must think of a way to frighten those robbers away.

Narrator 1: It wasn’t long before the animals has hatched a good plan.

Narrator 2: The donkey stood on his hind legs. The dog climbed on the donkey’s shoulders. The cat climbed onto the dog’s back. The rooster perched on top of the cat.

Narrator 3: And then the animals call out…

Donkey: Hee haw! Hee haw!

Dog: Woof! Woof! Woof!

Cat: Meow! Meow! Meow!

Rooster: Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Narrator 4: The noise scared the robbers. The robbers dashed out of the little house and ran away.

Narrator 1: The robbers did not take their gold. They did not take their food. They just ran away as fast as they could.

Donkey: What good luck, my friends! Now we have a cozy house, tasty food, and all the gold we’ll ever need.

Narrator 2: The animals never went to the town of Bremen. They lived happily ever after in the tiny house in the woods.

All: The End.
