Choral or Unison Reading
Well, let’s just say they lived sort of
happily for a long time.
Okay, so they weren’t so happy.
In fact, they were miserable.
“Stop sticking your tongue out like
that,” nagged the Princess.
“How come you never want to go down
to the pond anymore?” whined the Prince.
The Prince and Princess were so
unhappy. They didn’t know what to do.

Reader’s Theatre “Ahem. Miss Witch, Miss Witch.
Excuse me, Miss Witch. I wonder if you
could help me? I’m the Frog ---”
“If you’re a frog, I’m the King of
France,” said the witch.
“No, I’m not a frog. I’m the Frog
Prince. But I need a witch to turn me back
into a frog so I can live happily ever after
can you do it?” said the Prince in one long
breath.
The witch eyed the Prince and licked
her rather plump lips. “Why, of course,
dearie. Come right in.”
