SYNOPSIS:
It is a story about a
hobgoblin that lived under a bridge and used to try to gobble up anyone who
went over his bridge.
Three cows who are friends live in a farm placed in a
field with large trees. A river runs through the field. There is a bridge to
take you across the river and it is inhabited by an evil hobgoblin.
One day, the three cows are sad and very hungry
because they have eaten all the grass in their field and they have nothing to
eat. So, they decide to cross the bridge to eat a fine meadow full of grass
where they could eat and get fat on the other side of the field.
Surprisingly on their way, they find that a hobgoblin
doesn´t want them to cross his bridge for food, and if they try, he will eat
them. Then, the three hungry cows decide to work together to charge at the
hobgoblin. As he is across, each brave cow tricks him by promising that if he
let them cross the bridge he could eat the next cow which is ever bigger. The
hobgoblin is greedy so he waits for the next ones.
Finally, the biggest strongest cow pushes the hobgoblin
into the water and they all get across the bridge safely.

SCENE
BREAKDOWN:
Scene 1
The sun shines on a pretty farm. Kass, Dallin and Reed
wander around the field. There is very little grass on it. They look hungry and
unhappy.
Scene 2
Kass, Dallin and Reed set off up the field together. They
are on their way to a lush green meadow on the other side of a stone bridge.
Ramstein appears in scene as he hears strange noises.
Scene 3
Near the stone bridge, Kass, Dallin and Reed look at
Ramstein. They are threatened by him. But they are very hungry and think up
their plan.
Scene 4
Kass convinces Ramstein that it is too small to eat
and that its friends will be along soon and they are bigger and tastier. Kass
starts to cross the bridge timidly and goes to the meadow to eat the green
grass. Ramstein comes back under the bridge.
Scene 5
A little later, Dallin comes and goes its hooves on
the bridge. Ramstein hears the sound of Dallin walking over his bridge and
comes to gobble it up. Dallin convinces Ramstein again using the same technique
as Kass and he begins to rumble. Kass skips over the bridge quickly and gets
into the meadow to eat the beautiful green grass. Ramstein comes back under the
bridge.
Scene 6
Then up comes Reed and walks on the bridge. It is so
heavy that the bridge creaks. Ramstein appears to gobble Reed up. Reed stamps
its feet louder and louder. It stomps to Ramstein, bends his head down and
buttes him. Ramstein falls off the bridge and into the water with a great big
splash. Reed crosses over the bridge to join its friends and Ramstein will
never bother them again.
Scene 7
In the meadow, Kass, Dallin and Reed eat and eat and get so fat that they could hardly walk home again. They are probably there yet.
THE END.
In the meadow, Kass, Dallin and Reed eat and eat and get so fat that they could hardly walk home again. They are probably there yet.
