🌸👧 Thumbelina

📜 Script 

NARRATOR:
Once upon a time, a woman wished for a child.
A flower bloomed—and inside was a tiny girl!

She named her Thumbelina.

NARRATOR:
Thumbelina was no bigger than a thumb.
She slept in a walnut shell and wore a petal dress.

She sang sweet songs and loved the sun.

NARRATOR:
One night, a toad took her away!
He wanted her to marry his son.

He put her on a lily pad.

🐸 TOAD:
“She will be our bride!”

NARRATOR:
Thumbelina cried.
But friendly fish chewed the stem—
and the lily pad floated free!

NARRATOR:
She met bugs and birds,
but winter came and she was cold.

A kind field mouse took her in.

🐁 MOUSE:
“Stay with me, little one.”

NARRATOR:
The mouse wanted her to marry a mole.
But he lived in the dark, deep ground.

Thumbelina was sad.

NARRATOR:
Then she found a swallow with a hurt wing.
She cared for him all winter.

🐦 SWALLOW:
“You saved me. Come with me!”

NARRATOR:
The swallow flew her to a warm land.
There, Thumbelina met a tiny flower prince.

They became best friends—and soon, got married.

NARRATOR (ending):
Thumbelina found love and joy—
by being kind and brave.

THE END.
