THE UGLY GOOSE

This is a Play based on a story

told by Martina Prince.

 

Characters: Narrator: Aaron Kaganak

Gilda: Norma Charlie

1st F: Marie Hunter

2nd F: Matilda Kasayuli

3rd F: Martina Prince

 

Narrator: Once there was this very ugly goose who lived near the Askinuk Mountains. Her name was Gilda. She was always alone because her friends never wanted to be near her. This made her sad.

Narrator : Meanwhile her friends were making fun of her while she was at the other end of the pond.

1st Friend: She is so ugly that she could make a flower die just by looking at it.

2nd Friend: Yeah. I don't think she'll ever get a husband.

3rd friend: (Yelling to her from other side of the pond.) Hi ugly! You know you're so ugly that you could kill a plant just by looking at it.

Gilda: Why do my friends have to make so much fun about my looks?

But the wind said: Don't mind them. You never know what will happen at the end.

Gilds: But what have I done wrong to make them do this? I've always wanted to be their friend and I will always want to be their friend.

Narrator: Later Gilda went home to her mother, brothers, and sisters. Ivan they loved her sometimes they would make fun of her too.

Narrator: Gilda felt so bad that she left home for two years. When she finally came home, something happened that surprised her. She saw some geese flying and she was frightened because of what they might say to her; but she decided to fly beside them anyway.

1st friend: Who is that bird? Where did she come from?

2nd Friend: Look at her beautiful feathers. She is so beautiful.

Narrator : When the geese landed, she landed near them and everyone surrounded her and admired her.

1st Friend: Who are you? Where did you come from?

Gilda: I came from Goose Sake near Hooper Bay. This is where I used to live.

Narrator: So it is that when her old friends saw her again they were surprised and they admired her for her beauty. And since she was looking for a husband, she found the most handsome bird of all, and his name was George. And they lived happily ever after.

So the lesson is never judge a person or any creature by the way they look because they might turn out to be beautiful or handsome.
