QUEEN	What was the word?
MESSENGER	Rumpelstiltskin.
	Over and over and over again.
	Rumpelstiltskin, Rumpelstiltskin.

	Over and over and over again,

NARRATOR	So the messenger and the Queen
	hurried to the forest, and hid near
	the house. In front of the house a
	fire was burning, and around the
	fire a man was dancing, chanting
	Rumpelstiltskin, Rumpelstiltskin.
QUEEN	That's it! That's him!

RUMPELSTILTSKIN Today's the day! Tonight's the night! Tomorrow I'll take

the young Queen's child. The child is mine.

I won the game. Rumpelstiltskin is my name.

	THE FLOUNDER
	CHORUS
NARRATOR	Once upon a time, a fisherman and
	his wife lived in a house by the sea.
	The fisherman loved to go out alone
	in his boat, and sit and fish, and wait
	for a bite from a fish at the bottom
	of the sea.
CHORUS	Sit and fish,
	and wait for a bite.
	Sit and fish,
	and wait for a bite.
	Sit and fish,
	and wait for a bite
	from a fish at
	the bottom of the sea.
NARRATOR	One day he made up a song to sing
	to the fish while he waited.

FISHERMAN

FLOUNDER FISHERMAN

CHORUS ONE

CHORUS TWO

I can't believe it-a talking fish. A fish who will give me whatever I wish.

Throw me back and you will see.

What shall I do?

Keep him or throw him back?

Keep him, keep him.

Take him home and eat him. Don't throw him back, no. Don't throw him back.

Pick him up and throw him back. Pick him up and throw him back. Throw him back.

Throw him back.

Pick him up and throw him back. You'll be sorry if you keep him. Pick him up and throw him back.

NARRATOR	The fisherman thought about it for
	a few moments. Then he picked up
	the flounder, and threw him back
	into the water. At first, the big fish
	swam right down to the bottom of
	the sea, but in a moment, he was
	back to keep his promise.
FLOUNDER	Tell me what you want,
	and it will be yours.
CHORUS	Tell him, tell him.
	Tell him what you want.
	Tell him, tell him.
	Tell him what you want.
FISHERMAN	Hmmm, let's see.
	What do I want?
	What do I want?
	I can't think of a thing.
	I can't think of a thing.
CHORUS	He can't think of a thing.
	He can't think of a thing.
NARRATOR	And then the flounder disappeared
	into the deep dark sea. The
	fisherman hurried home to tell his
	wife the story. When she heard him
	coming, she ran to the door but she
	was disappointed when she didn't
	see any fish.
WIFE	Oh, no! Didn't you catch anything3
FISHERMAN	I did! I caught a flounder.
