Narrator 2: Good! I thought we were in 1710

Narrator 1: (confused) I dont understand

Narrator 2: Youre so old-fashioned. Nobody says Once upon a time anymore (making fun of Narrator 1). We prefer watching Slvame Deluxe to hear a good story.

Narrator 1: (angry) But I am going to tell them about Cinderella.

Narrator 2: Oh Come on. They are tired of that story. I have a better one about a girl called Cyndi.

Narrator 1: Who is Cyndi?

Narrator 2: A girl I know. Do you want to hear my story? (Asking Narrator 1)

Narrator 1: Ok, lets hear it.

Narrator 2: Do you want to hear it? (To the audience; waits for their answer). Sorry, I cant hear you Do you want to hear my story? (Now the answer says yes louder). Ok then, here we go

Stepbrother 1: (both tired as they had to carry all the bags) Nice because you dont carry the bags

Stepbrother 2: Why didnt Cyndi go and help you with the bags?

Stepmother: (angry) that girl She had to clean the entire house and do your homework.

Stepsister 1: She didnt have any time (making fun)

Stepsister 2: Can you believe that?Stepbrother 1: She is so lazy

Stepmother 1: Are you crazy? Who is going to clean the house?

Stepsister 1: Who is going to cook for us?
