PART 13
The Forgotten Grimm Brother Fairy Tale of
The Ungrateful Dwarf
(The Story of Snow White and Rose Red)
By D. M. Larson
ANGEL
On another day, Snow White and Rose Red went to catch some fish for dinner. When they got closer to the river, they saw something jumping toward the water like it was going to dive in.
(They run to the end of the stage and see the dwarf in front of or in the audience fighting with a FISH)
SNOW
What are you doing?
RED
Do you really want to jump in the river? It runs a bit too fast for a swim.
DWARF
I’m not an idiot. That fish is trying to pull me in! I was fishing and a strong wind blew through and my beard got tangled in the line. And now this foul fish is trying to drag me in.
FISH
Foul fish! Really? You smell far worse than me.
DWARF
What? I’ll catch you and fry you good.
FISH
It’s true. I could smell you coming. I thought you were a stink bug. Stink bugs are yummy. But all I got was you. Do dwarves ever bathe?
SNOW
Well, there’s only one thing to do.
(ROSE and SNOW go down to the DWARF and cut his beard again. The FISH makes a rude sound and swims off. The DWARF stomps angrily on stage and ROSE AND SNOW follow).
DWARF
What did you do? You toad stool! You’ve disfigured me! It was bad enough that you caught off the end. Now you’ve cut off the best part of it! I can’t show my face around my kind until it grows back. May you fall in the river and drown!
(The dwarf took out a huge sack of pearls which lay in the grass and dragged it away behind a rock where he vanished)
