ingilizce soru ve cevaplar

Once upon a time, an old toymaker, called Geppetto, lived in a small town. His cat, Figaro, his fish, Cleo, and his toys were his friends. He loved one toy more than the others. It was a puppet. He called it Pinocchio and loved it like a son.

One night, before he went to bed, he saw a wishing star and he was very excited:

G: Oh, Figaro! Look, look! The wishing star!

And he made a wish:

G: I wish that my little Pinocchio might be a real boy.

And then he goes to bed and falls asleep, thinking of his wish.

Jiminy Cricket is also in the house. He wants to sleep, too. But he can’t sleep because the sounds of the clocks and snoring of Geppetto disturb him. Suddenly he sees a light coming into the house. He is afraid and hides in a cup. Now he is watching what is going on:

A fairy appears inside the house. She turns to Geppetto and says,

F: Good Geppetto, you have given so much happiness to others. You deserve to have your wish come true.

Then she turns to Pinocchio and touches it with her magic wand:

F: Little puppet, wake, the gift of life is yours.

Then Pinocchio is alive. He sees his hands moving and he is very surprised:

P:  I can move.

Then he notices that he is talking and he is surprised again.

P:  I can talk.

And he stands up and he is surprised once more because he sees that he can walk.

P: I can walk!

F: Yes Pinocchio. I have given you life.

P: Why?

F: Because tonight, Geppetto wished for a real boy.

P:  A real boy! Am I a real boy?

F: NO! But you can be a real boy. It is up to you.

F: Prove yourself. Be brave, truthful and unselfish, and someday you will be a real boy.

P: A real boy!

F: You must learn to choose between right and wrong.

P: Right and wrong? But how will I know?

F: Your conscience will tell you.

P: What is conscience?

Jiminy appears.

J: Conscience is that small voice inside you. It tells you what is right and what is wrong. When you do wrong, it warns you. But people don’t listen to it.

P: Are you my conscience?

J (surprised): No, I am not.

F: Would you like to be Pinocchio’s conscience?

J: Uh, well.

Then the fairy touches Jiminy with the magic wand;

F: Now you are Pinocchio’s conscience. You will help him when there is temptation. You will be his guide along the straight and narrow path.

F (to Pinocchio): Now, remember, Pinocchio, be a good boy. And always let your conscience be your guide.

P: Good bye my lady.

Now, Jiminy and Pinocchio are alone. Jiminy wants to teach Pinocchio.

J: Now, you see, the world is full of temptations.

P: Temptations?

J: Yep. Temptations are the wrong things that seem right at the time.

Pinocchio doesn’t understand him but he says,

P: I’m gonna (=going to) do right.

J: and I’m gonna help you. Whenever you need me, just whistle.

While singing and dancing, Pinocchio steps into two buckets and falls down. He causes a lot of noise and wakes up Geppetto.

G: Who is there?

P: It’s me.

Then Geppetto is very afraid. He gets out of the bed. He takes a candle and begins to look for the stranger in the room. Then Pinocchio appears.

P: Here I am.

G: Oh… Pinocchio. But this can’t be real. I think I am dreaming in my sleep.

Geppetto can’t believe it. He pours a whole jug of water on himself. Then he goes back to Pinocchio.

G: Well, say something.

P: You are funny. Do it again.

G: You talk. This is real.

P: Yes, the Blue Fairy came.  She gave me life. She also gave me a conscience. Someday I am going to be a real boy.

Now Geppetto believes. He is very happy.

G: A real boy. It was my wish. It has come true.

Then he shows Pinocchio to Figaro and Cleo. He is filled with joy. He is walking and dancing in the room. Then leaves Pinocchio on the table and begins to gather toys for him. Pinocchio plays with the fire of the candle. Then he burns his finger. But it doesn’t hurt him. However, when Geppetto sees that his finger is burning, he panics and takes Pinocchio in his arms, and runs about the room, looking for water. Then he dips Pinocchio’s burning finger into the aquarium.

Then they go to bed.

G: Now, close your eyes and go to sleep.

P: Why?

G: Oh, everybody has to sleep. Besides, tomorrow, you have got to go to school.

P: Why?

G: To learn things and get smart.

Then they fall asleep.

*******************************

TOMORROW MORNING

School children are going to school. Pinocchio hears them and he gets out of the house. He is very excited. He wants to join the children.

P: Oh, father. Who are those?

G: They are your schoolmates (=school friends)

Then Geppetto gives him an apple and a book and sends him to school.

P: Good bye father.

G: Good bye son. Hurry back.

*********************

Two swindlers, Honest John and his friend Gideon are walking on the street. They see school boys running to school.

HJ: Look Gideon. Innocent children are rushing to school. It is a fountain of knowledge and these children have thirsty little minds.

Then he sees Pinocchio running.

HJ: Look Giddy, look! Amazing. A wooden boy! A live puppet without strings. If we sell him to someone, we can make a fortune.

Then he sees a poster on the wall. It is a poster of Stromboli’s puppet show. Honest John thinks he can sell the wooden boy to Stromboli. Then they follow Pinocchio along the street. Then Honest John causes Pinocchio to fall down with his cane.

HJ: Oh, I am terribly sorry. I hope you are not injured.

P: I am alright.

HJ: Where are you going, boy?

P: I am going to school.

HJ: School? Then you haven’t heard of the easy road to success.

P: No.

HJ: Bright lights, applause, fame. You will be famous. You are a natural-born actor.

P: But I am going to school.

HJ: No. You are wasting your time. Come. Let’s go to the theatre.

Pinocchio believes him. Then they walk to the theatre. On the way, however, Jiminy finds them. He understands that the two men are swindlers and that they are leading Pinocchio astray. He follows and catches them. Then he talks to Pinocchio.

P: Hello Jiminy. I am going to be an actor.

J: Now listen to me boy. Do you remember temptation?

P: Yes I do.

J: Well, that man (Honest John) is temptation.

P: Oh no Jiminy. He is a good man. He is helping me.

J: No. You can’t go with him. Now tell him “Thank you but I can’t go with you.”becausebut you have got to go to school.

P: OK.

Then Pinocchio goes up to Honest John.

P: Good bye Jiminy.

J: Good bye. But you are not going to school! Where are you going? Stop Pinocchio. Well, what am I going to tell his father? Well, I will go after him myself.

Now everyone in the castle –except the three fairies- is happy. They all think the spell is broken because it is Aurora’s 16^th birthday and the sun has set. They are celebrating it and waiting for the princess to come.

The fairies are in the balcony. They see the celebrations and they are crying.

Fauna: Poor King Stefan and the Queen.

Merryweather: They’ll be heartbroken when they find out.

Flora: They’re not going to (be heartbroken).

Merryweather: They aren’t?

Flora: We’ll put them all to sleep, until Rose awakens (=wakes up). Come!

They fly around the castle and put everyone to sleep so that they will not be heartbroken. Before falling asleep, Hubert talks to Flora.

Hubert: Philip has fallen in love with some peasant girl.

Flora: A peasant girl? Who is she? Where did he meet her?

Hubert: Once upon a dream.

Flora understands that it is Aurora, that Prince Philip has fallen in love with Aurora.

Flora (to the other fairies): Come on, we’ve got to get back to the cottage!

Flora has a good plan. She knows that the prince will go to the cottage to meet Aurora as he thinks that she is waiting for him there. Flora is going to get the prince and come back with him to the castle. Then the prince will kiss the princess and the spell will be broken. (Only true love’s kiss can break the spell)

But Maleficent is not a fool. She knows that the spell can be broken if the prince kisses the princess. So she is at the cottage, waiting for him. Then the prince comes to the cottage and she entraps him and takes him to her own castle. She imprisons him in a dungeon.

Now Maleficent and her servants are celebrating her victory.

Maleficent: (talking to her raven) What a pity prince Phillip can’t be here to enjoy the celebration. Come, we must go to the dungeon and cheer him up.

Then she goes down to the dungeon to talk to the princess. She will make fun of him.

In the meantime, the fairies go to the cottage. They can’t find the prince but they understand that Maleficent has entrapped him. So they also come to the castle. Now they want to find the prince. They are following Maleficent.

Maleficent: Oh come now, prince Phillip. Why so melancholy? A wondrous future lies

before you. You are the hero of a charming fairy tale.

Now she shows him King Stefan’s castle.

Maleficent: Look at that castle. There is a beautiful girl in it. She is sleeping. She is the peasant girl that you met in the forest yesterday. In fact, she is the princess, your betrothed. A hundred years later I will set you free. I will let you go. You will be a very old man. Then you will go to the castle and kiss her. And then you will live happily ever after. Ha ha ha.

The three fairies are watching them through the window. When Maleficent leaves, they go in, break the chains, and set the prince free. Then they give him a shield and a sword. But the raven sees them. It starts screaming. Maleficent’s soldiers hear it. They run into the dungeon. The fairies and the prince run to the other side. They get out of the dungeon. The soldiers are throwing stones and arrows at them. But the fairies turn them into bubbles and flowers. The raven is still screaming and it is going to Maleficent to wake her. Merryweather is very angry with it. She follows the raven and turns it into a stone raven. Now Maleficent hears the noise, wakes up, and comes out. She sees the prince and the fairies escaping. She throws two spells but she can’t stop them. The prince is riding to the castle. Maleficent is very angry. She flies toward the castle and stands on the prince’s way. She transforms (=changes) herself into a huge (=very very big) dragon. Then the fight starts. The dragon is very big and powerful. It spits fire. But the prince is brave. He throws his sword at the dragon and it hits her on the heart. The dragon dies.

*********

The prince and the fairies get inside the castle. They go up the tower where Aurora is sleeping. The prince kisses her and she wakes up.

Other people in the castle also wake up. The Kings Stefan and Hubert resume their talk as if nothing has happened.

Stefan: Well, what were you saying?

Hubert: I was saying that we are living in the 14th century.

Then Aurora and Phillip appear arm in arm, walking downstairs. The fairies are watching them from the balcony.

THE END
