A kind old woman lived alone in a cottage deep in the woods. She was loved the forest and nature was generous to her in return. Outside her cottage grew two beautiful rose bushes. One was a deep red. The other was white as snow. She was blessed with two children who were like the roses. One she called Snow White, the other Rose Red.
(Snow White and Rose Red emerge from behind the rose bushes. Actors dresses as animals - birds, rabbits, deer, butterflies, etc. gather. Rose Red exits. Snow White goes to them with treats and pets them and hugs them. Rose Red enters covered in a big brown robe with her head hidden and she growls loudly and waves her arm)
BIRD
Eeek! It’s a bear!
RABBIT
Run away!
(DEER freezes and the other animals run away)
SNOW
It’s okay everyone! It’s just Rose.
(SNOW pulls off the brown robe and ROSE laughs)
ROSE
You should have seen your faces!
(ROSE pretends to be a scared deer)
DEER
I didn’t look like that. Did I?
(SNOW gives the DEER a hug)
SNOW
You were very brave. You stayed and protected me.
DEER
Yeah! That’s what I did.
RABBIT
Sure, sure. You’re a real hero.
