Goldilocks and Gretel discuss Hansel & Gretel’s love of chocolate. The brother and sister live in the wicked Witches house and are eating all the tiles made of chocolate. Goldilocks considers this unhealthy and tries to convince Gretel to eat porridge instead.
GOLDILOCKS & GRETEL
By Michele Lourie
Goldilocks enters carrying a basket full of boxes of porridge from St R, and Gretel (from Hansel and Gretel) from St L. They meet in the centre.
GOLDILOCKS: Hello Gretel, how are you and your brother, Hansel?
GRETEL: Very well now, thank you, since the wicked witch has gone, although both of us are still addicted to chocolate. We ate so much off the witch’s house.
I’m curious, why do you have so many boxes of porridge in your basket?
GOLDILOCKS: I first tried porridge in the Three Bears’ House, and I loved it, especially that bowl of the Baby Bear’s that was just right.
GRETEL: But didn’t the Bears chase you out of the house for trespassing?
GOLDILOCKS: Oh, that’s all changed now. The bears and I are going to set up a ‘B & B and Wellness Centre’ together, in their house.
GRETEL: Really?
GOLDILOCKS: We’re going to call it “Bearly Comfortable”. What do you think?
GRETEL: I don’t know what to think.
GOLDILOCKS: Now Gretel, I heard that you and Hansel are living in the witch’s house.
GRETEL: Yes, it’s the most amazing house, made of gingerbread walls and covered all over with M & M’s and jelly beans.
GOLDILOCKS: Mmm, sounds delicious.
GRETEL: Hansel and I have been eating little bits off it every day. We started with the edges of the roof which, by the way, is the finest Belgian Chocolate.
GOLDILOCKS: But if you eat up all the house, where will you live? Besides all that sugary stuff is very bad for you. Now that I’m the manager of a Wellness centre, I think you should eat something better.
GRETEL: Like what?
GOLDILOCKS: Like this porridge. It’s very good for you. It is high in fibre and rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants such as Selenium and Ferulic acid.
GRETEL: Speaks to the audience
Why is Goldilocks speaking a foreign language? I’m off!
Gretel runs off and Goldilocks chases after her.
GOLDILOCKS: Wait, wait, I haven’t told you about the Aventhramides….
