Narrator: A long time ago, King Arthur of England was captured while he was
hunting in a forbidden land.
Soldier: Stop! You are not allowed to hunt in our land. Who gave you
permission to do so?
King Arthur:Nobody.
Soldier:Then you must come with us.We will take you to our king.
King Marcus: You are an intrepid young man, but you must die because you
violated our laws.
King Marcus:I can also see that you are strong of character, and I like that.I
will forgive you on one condition.
King Marcus : I will give one year to find out the answer to a very difficult
question.
Maid: Well, people say there´s a witch living in the deep forest. They say
that she is very smart, but evil.Why don´t you go and ask her?
King Arthur: So… you are also telling me to go and see the witch, and I
supposed you know her…maybe she has already given you one of her spells.
Maid: I don´t know what you mean…but, did somebody else tell you about her?
King Arthur: The princess, and the queen also suggested that I should see
her.
Maid: Then you must do it, maybe she´s the only one that can help you. But I
must tell you, that the price you will pay, will be high.
King Arthur: If she has the answer, then I don´t care about the price.
Maid: Just don´t go alone, take your soldiers with you.She´s not a very
pleasant person.
Narrator: That same night King Arthur went to the old witch´s house.When
he was about to knock, the witch opened the door.
Witch: I have been expecting you… I know that your time is running out.
King Arthur: If you already know why I´m here, then tell me the answer.
King Arthur: Are you out of your mind!It makes me sick just to think of the
idea of you marrying him!
King Arthur: Have you seen yourself in a mirror?You´re ugly!You have only one
tooth and you´re hunchbacked! You´re the most repulsive person I have ever
seen! How can I ask my best friend to sacrifice because of me?
King Arthur: You are truly my best friend.I could never in my whole life pay
you for what you are doing for me.
Witch :I will be ready, tomorrow after the wedding you will have your answer.
Maiden 3: Why does she have to eat with her bare hands.
Maiden 1:Are you listening to the noise she does when she eats, or is it just
my imagination?
Narrator: At that moment King Arthur decided that it was time for everybody
to leave the couple alone, so everybody left.When Gwain was in his room,
suddenly the door opened.
Gwain: But… you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!What happened
to you?
Witch: You were kind to me. So, half of the time I will be horrible, and the
other half, I will be beautiful… as you see me right now.
Gwain:I am speechless…
Witch:You must decide which one do you prefer during the day, and which one
at night.
Gwain: I will.
Narrator: When the witch left the room, Gwain went out to the forest near
the castle just to think about what to do.
Gwain: What should I do? I would surely want an adorable young lady during
the day for everybody to see, especially my friends… and at night obviously I
would like a beautiful girl and not a horrible witch… or should I prefer the
opposite?
Witch: Very well then… I will be a beautiful lady during the day and also at
night, because you have shown me respect and you are allowing me to be in
charge of my own life.
