SCENE 1

Звучит музыка, “Утро” Грига. Из-за кулис в танце появляются красочно одетые Времена Года. Они подходят к авансцене и представляются.

Winter: I’m Winter. I’m the coldest season of the year.
Spring: I’m Spring. People call me the season of hope and happiness.
Summer: I’m Summer. I’m the hottest season of the year.
Autumn: I’m Autumn. I come after Summer, when days become cool. Children go to school in autumn.
Summer: And start learning the English Alphabet. But English “is an island for all Seasons!”

SONG 1
Spring is green,
Summer is bright,
Autumn is yellow,
Winter is white.

Spring: Sh… Do you hear that noise?
Winter: I think somebody’s crying.
Summer: It sound like a child.
Autumn: It can’t be true.
Summer: Why?
Autumn: It’s easy. Everyone’s at school now.
Winter: O.K., but let me see.

Идет осторожно за кулисы.

Winter: It’s really a girl and she is crying!

Все подходят к кулисе и выводят девочку на середину сцены.

Autumn: What happened, young lady?
Spring: Why are you crying?
Summer: What’s your name?
Winter: Perhaps somebody hurt her?
Spring: Is that true?
Autumn: Wait a minute! Too many questions. Who are you, girl?
Jane: My name’s Jane and nobody’s hurt me.

Опять начала плакать.

Spring: Oh, poor thing! You’ve lost your way, haven’t you?
Jane: No…
Winter: Stop crying right now and answer: what’s wrong with you?
Jane: I, I, I’d like to be a student as my friends are.
Winter: Very good! Go to school, than!
Jane: But I can’t!!
Summer: Why, in God’s name?
Jane: I don’t know the English Alphabet…

Опять начала плакать.

Seasons: Is that all? Do you only have this problem?
Jane: It’s enough to be unhappy.

Времена Года советуются и принимают решение помочь девочке.

Summer: We can help you, Jane.
Jane: Really?
Winter: Yes! Be sure, I am the best teacher in the world!
Summer: I didn’t know you are such a modest person.
Winter: Excuse me, we are.
Autumn: That’s better. So, Jane! Are you ready to learn the English Alphabet?
Jane: Yes, I am!
Autumn: Fine! Have a seat in here and be attentive.
Jane: I’m all ears!
