The Fishman and the Genie
Scene one [At the seashore.]
Narrator: A fisherman saw something
surprising in his net.
Fisherman: What’s this shiny thing? Oh, it’s a
bottle! I wonder what’s inside.
Narrator: The fisherman opened the bottle.
A great cloud of smoke came out,
and it became a genie…
Example:
Genie: I’m going to kill you! Prepare to die!
Fisherman: Why? Didn’t I set you free from the
bottle?
Genie: That’s why I’m going to kill you,
but I’ll let you choose how you will die.
Fisherman: But why?
Narrator: Then the genie told his story.
Genie: A long time ago, I made a promise. If someone set me free, I would make them
rich and powerful. But no one ever
came. After years and years of waiting, I
became very angry. If anyone set me
free, I would kill them instead of giving
them anything. So you must die, but I
will let you choose how you want to die.
Fisherman: Before I die, answer me a question.
Genie: All right, but be quick.
Fisherman: Were you really in the bottle? You are
so big and the bottle is so small. I think
it could hardly hold one of your feet.
Genie: Of course I was in the bottle. Don’t you
believe me?
Fisherman: No, and I won’t believe you until I see you in the
bottle with my own eyes.
Narrator: When the genie heard this, he changed into a cloud.
Slowly the cloud went back into the bottle. When all
of him was in the bottle, the fisherman quickly put
the lid on and threw it back into the sea.
Perform the play in class. Then vote for the best performance.
