Sample Text, Pinocchio:

A story of redemption and self-discovery – with one small twist!

Narrator:         Oh dear, why is it some folk really do have to learn the hard way?

Pinocchio:       (Sighing) There’s no need to rub it in. I admit I wasn’t the world’s fastest learner!

Geppetto:       Ah, but you got there eventually

Cricket:            (Interrupting) Eventually! Wow, but didn’t he just mega try our patience along the way!

Pinocchio:       I know. I was a bit of a wooden top!

Cricket:            I’ll say!

Geppetto:       (Interrupting) No, no! He was a good boy underneath!

Narrator:         Oh, there you go again, Geppetto! Making excuses for him!

Geppetto:       Well, he was my son!

Cricket:            Certainly ‘a chip off the old block’!

Pinocchio:       (Angrily) Hey! Watch how you speak to my father!

Cricket:            (Gasping) And what about everything you put him through!

Narrator:         (Coughing) Ahem! For the benefit of those not in the know, perhaps we should give a little of the story, at this point?

Pinocchio:       Not forgetting there are always two sides to a story!

Cricket:            Or two versions, if you have anything to do with it! Think nose, is all I’m saying!
