Scene 1
NARRATOR 1: A long time ago, there lived a rat couple who had one
daughter, her name is Rena. Since they had no other children, they gave
her everything. When it became time for their daughter to marry, they
wanted only the best husband for her. They thought about all of the rats
that they knew, but none of them were good enough for their daughter.
One day, Mr. Rat said to his wife…
MR. RAT: "I know who will make the perfect husband for our daughter,
the Sun."
MRS. RAT: "The Sun? Why do you think the Sun would make a good
husband?"
MR. RAT: "Because there is none more powerful in the world than the
Sun!"
MRS. RAT: "Yes, Yes. Yes. The Sun is the most powerful. He's bright as
well. Let's ask him at now."
MR. & MRS. RAT: "Oh, Mr. Sun!"
MR. SUN: "Yes, what can I do for you?"
MR. RAT: "Should you accept, my wife and I would like to offer you our
daughter's hand in marriage,"
MR. SUN: "I'm honored. But, why do you want me to marry your
daughter?"
MR. RAT: "Because you are so powerful and magnificent!"
MR. SUN: "Well, I'm pleased that you think so highly of me. But, there is
one that is more powerful than me."
MR. RAT: "Who might that be?”
MR. SUN: "Mr. Cloud, of course! I am powerless when he covers me."
MR. RAT: "Yes, so true!”
MRS. RAT: "Come on dear. Let's go see Mr. Cloud."
Scene 2
NARRATOR 2: They climbed up a nearby mountain, over which a big
cloud hung in the sky. They called to Mr. Cloud telling him what Mr. Sun
had said and offered their daughter's hand in marriage. Again, the couple
received a much different answer than what they were expecting.
MR. CLOUD: "What the Sun says is true. However, I am powerless when I
meet Mr. Wind. Wherever he blows, I must go."
MR. RAT: "Yes. Yes. Of course, of course."
Scene 3
NARRATOR 3: So they then set out to find Mr. Wind. Coming down the
mountain, they found Mr. Wind in a grove of trees. He already heard their
story.
MR. WIND: "I am strong. I can make a big tree fall over or blow down a
house. I can shake up an ocean. But try as I may, I can't move Mr. Wall."
MR. RAT: "Then, we'll just have to ask him."
Scene 4
NARRATOR 4: So, Mr. and Mrs. Rat hurried down the mountain to Mr. Wall
standing near their village.
MR. WALL: "Well, I'm flattered that you want me to marry your daughter.
But I don't think I'm right for her either. I am indeed strong and Mr. Wind
can't move me, but I am no means the strongest of them all. There is one
that can make me fall over easily. The very thought of it is making me
shake already."
MR. RAT: "Please Mr. Wall. Please tell us who."
MR. WALL: "None other than you and your cousins, the moles. You and
your cousins are very strong. Why? Because, if you burrow under my feet,
I'll fall over and land on my head. I'm no match for you."
MR. RAT: “How true, how very true! Of course the race of rat is the most
powerful of all. "Thank you! You've been very helpful.”
MRS. RAT: “Yes! And, I know just the person: that nice Roger Rat who
seems to like Rena so much. And his parents are such good friends of ours,
too.”
MR. RAT: “Old Roland Rat’s boy? An excellent idea. Let’s see if he is in
now.”
Scene 5
NARRATOR 5: When Roger Rat appeared, Mr. and Mrs. Rat told him of
their offer, which he accepted immediately. Rena was very much delighted
that her parents were arranging for her to marry him. Mr. Rat was
convinced that he had made the best possible match for his darling
daughter.
