Boots SCRIPT Narrator #1: Once upon a time there was an evil magician, and he made an evil mirror. Magician: I am SO SMART. This mirror is amazing. Narrator #2: If a good person looked in the mirror, they would think bad things. Narrator #1: If a beautiful person looked in the mirror, they would appear to be ugly. Narrator #2: The magician laughed because of how smart he was. Magician: hahaha! I am so smart. Narrator #1: Then, one day the mirror broke into 1 million pieces, and the pieces of the mirror went all over the world. Narrator #2: If a piece of the mirror got in your eye than you would see the world as bad. Narrator #1: If a piece of the mirror got in your heart, than your heart would become like ice.
Narrator #2: Kay and Gerda were best friends and they were neighbours. Narrator #1: Kay lived with his grandmother and Gerda lived next door. Narrator #2: In the summer they would play together in the rose garden. (show Kay and Gerda playing together) Narrator #1: In the winter, they would play inside or in the snow. Gerda: Is there such a thing as a snow queen? Grandma: Yes, there is, she is a frightful woman. Gerda: Oh, I’m scared.

Kay: Don’t be. If The Snow Queen comes I will put her in an oven, and she will melt! Narrator #2: But then that night Kay saw the Snow Queen in his window and was very scared. (show Kay seeing the Snow Queen and looking scared)
Narrator #1: The winter ended, spring came and then summer. Narrator #2: One day in the summer Kay and Gerda were sitting out in the rose garden. Kay: Ouch, something just hurt my heart. Ouch, something just hurt my heart. Gerda: I don’t see anything in your eye. Kay: It doesn’t hurt any more. Maybe it’s ok. Narrator #1: But, Kay became a different person. He started to say mean things to his grandma and his best friend Gerda. Then one day in the winter, Kay said to Gerda: Kay: Gerda I am going to go sledding with the boys, and YOU can’t come! Gerda: Kay, you hurt my feelings! Kay: I don’t care. Narrator #2: Kay left and he was sledding down the hill, when a woman on a white sled came. She told the boy to follow her, and he did. (show the snow queen taking the Kay away) Narrator #1: They went on a ride, then came to a snow castle. Kay: I’m so VERY cold. Snow Queen: Take this blanket, and then you will not be cold. (she touches his forehead) Kay: You’re right, I am not cold any more.

Narrator #2: But Gerda was getting more and more worried about her friend Kay, who had gone missing. Gerda: You were sledding with Kay? Where is he? Boy #1: I saw him taken by a beautiful white woman on a sleigh. Boy #2: Kay has to be dead! Maybe he drowned in the river. (the two boys leave) Gerda: (crying) I will put on my shoes and go to the river. Gerda: River, tell me if you killed Kay, and I will give you my shoes. Why won’t you say anything? Sun: Kay cannot be dead. Bird: Yes, I saw him leave town with a woman. Sun: Maybe you can try to go to him in that boat. Bird: What a good idea! (Gerda gets in the boat) Gerda: What a nice boat ride! Bird: Yes, the river is calm here. But watch out, it will get faster. Gerda: Oh NO! I can’t stop. (an old woman sees what is happening) Gerda: Save me! Old woman #1: Bring me this girl! (uses her magic)
Gerda: Thank you so much. I am looking for my best friend Kay. Do you know where he is?

Old woman #1: I’m afraid I don’t. Why don’t you come in for a while, and calm down, and eat some fruit. Gerda: Ok. Old woman #1: You have such pretty hair my dear. Let my brush it for you. (woman uses her magic again) You should just stay here with me. Gerda: Yes, that sounds good. I’ll stay. Old woman #1: We’ll be the best of friends! Narrator: Gerda stayed a long time, but then one day she saw the old woman wearing a rose and said. Gerda: I remember now! I’m looking for Kay. We used to play in the rose garden. Old woman #1: I knew this day would come. Come, I will give you some food and then you can go. (Old Woman gives Gerda some food) Narrator #1: And so Gerda was on her way again. Before long she met a bird. Gerda: Good morning crow. Crow: Caw, caw, good morning, good morning. Gerda: Have you seen my friend Kay? Crow: Well, what does he look like? Gerda: He’s a little boy. He has black hair and brown eyes. (change depending on what your Kay looks like) Crow: Was he wearing boots? Gerda: Yes, he was.

Crow: He may be in the princess’s castle. Gerda: He’s living in a princess’s castle? Crow: Yes, she is beautiful. Many people want to live with her. Follow me, I will take you to the castle. Gerda: Wow! (she sneaks in) Gerda: I think I see Kay. (Gerda walks into the room and sees Kay sleeping) Gerda: No, that’s not Kay. (the princess wakes up) Princess: Who are you and what are you doing in my castle? Gerda: I am looking for my friend Kay. Have you see him? Princess: What does he look like? Gerda: He has brown eyes and black hair and was wearing boots when he got lost. Princess: I’m afraid I don’t know him. Gerda: Can you help me? Princess: I can give you some new clothes and a carriage. Narrator #2: And so the princess gave Gerda some clothes and sent her on her way. Narrator #1: Everything was going well, until a robber boy saw the beautiful carriage. Robber Boy: STOP HORSE!

Gerda: OH NO! Robber Boy: Oh what a beautiful girl, and a beautiful scarf. I will take your scarf. Come with me! Gerda: No. Robber Boy: You can’t escape! Come with me! Narrator #2: Later, when they were at the robber boy’s house, Gerda saw a pigeon. And she asked Gerda: Mr. Pigeon, have you seen my friend Kay. He has black hair and brown eyes and was wearing boots when I saw him last. Pigeon: Yes, I saw him, he was going up north with The Snow Queen. She went to her ice palace. Gerda: What do I do? Pigeon: Ask the reindeer, he knows what happens up north. Narrator #1: So Gerda went to the reindeer and asked him. Gerda: Reindeer, do you know how to get up north? Reindeer: Yes, I was born up north. Gerda: Could you take me there? Reindeer: Only if my master lets us go! Narrator #2: Then the robber boy came back. Gerda: Oh please, my friend is lost and I need to find him again. Will you let me go? Robber Boy: Give me your lovely mittens and your scarf and your hat, and then I will let you go. Gerda: Ok. Can I take the reindeer? Robber Boy: If you wish.

Narrator #1: So Gerda and the Reindeer went together, up north.
Narrator #2: They stopped when they saw a house in the snow. Narrator #1: The reindeer knew that it was the house of a magic man. Gerda: Maybe we should stop here and ask for some help. Reindeer: Sounds like a good idea. Narrator #2: So they knocked on the door. Old man #2: Who goes there? Gerda: My name is Gerda, and I am looking for my friend Kay. Reindeer: He is in the ice palace. Can you help us fight the snow queen? Old man #2: I will feed you, and then I will tell you what I know. Narrator #2: So Gerda sat down to eat some fish with the old man. Old man #2: The snow palace is 20 km north of here. Reindeer: Please, can you give Gerda a potion to make strong like 20 men? Old man #2: Gerda does not need a potion. She is already strong. I know because the birds, the animals and the sun have all helped her. She can win against the Snow Queen’s power herself. Narrator #1: So Gerda and the Reindeer left and continued their journey. Narrator #2: Once they got to the snow palace, the reindeer left Gerda. Narrator #1: She didn’t know it, but the Snow Queen was actually on vacation, putting snow on the tops of mountains in warm countries. Narrator #1: Gerda snuck into the palace. (show Gerda sneaking in)

Narrator #2: Once Gerda was in the palace, she found her friend Kei in the middle of a frozen lake. Narrator #1: She ran to him. Gerda: Kay, I’m so happy I found you. Kay: Who are you? Gerda: Stop, we need to go home. Kay: Where is home? Narrator #2: And Gerda cried. Gerda: Kay! Narrator #2: When Gerda’s tears hit Kay’s heart, he was cured. Kay: Huh? Where am I? Gerda: Kay, do you remember who you are? Kay: Of course I do. You are my best friend? How did I get here? Gerda: I’ll tell you the story on the way home. Narrator #1: So Gerda, Kay and the Reindeer all went back home together. Narrator #2: And they all lived happily ever after.
