and at night

till miss clavel said

and there will be no more acting

they did their best to all bear

at least until the following day

girls were acting

constantly what are you doing madeline

i am listening to the bread of cokes

i am a cat

meow

with the girls so very busy

you must get some rest maison phone now

but i am supposed to learn how it feels

to be a dog

and i will see how it feels to be a

caterpillar in a cocoon

and they are exploring the emotions

of dancing houses oh

said we have to practice all the time

even monsieur hamislavsky needs to sleep

and so do little girls into bed my

petite

one day

after practicing cars he's and who's

their teacher surprised them with

worrisome news

the girls were all filled with great

shock and dismay

how could they possibly go on this way

oh please miss your camislavsky

let us act please

without dog lessons

we love that acting lessons

oh please miss your camislavsky

when the girls thought that their

classes were ending

their dramatic reactions were

your acting is not over

in fact it is just beginning

but you are doing so well you are ready

to put on a play

it is called the enchanted forest

we will have auditions tomorrow

here are your scripts

the girls were very pleased indeed

but wondered

who would get the lead

and when the girls all read the story

each one dreamed of on stage glory

the stag of the place princess moon

flower

i would like that part

so would i oh

there is an elf i would like that pop

ah

a box under princess

i cannot save you i

and there is a beautiful dove

tweet tweet

and the evil witch

well you can say i won't save you

those are good packs

but i still want to be the princess

listen for you cannot all be the star of

the show every part is important please

do not be too disappointed if you are

not chosen for the lead

we you should not be disappointed if you

do not get to play the princess

still madeline had but one special goal

to find herself in the starring role

over and over line after line

the little girls practiced so they would

shine

long ago

now i am trapped here

trapped

here among the trees of the enchanted

forest

please pass the princess oh

i mean

pass the potatoes if you play oh

they practiced more and more

and then

they started over once again

if only the prince would return to the

focus

if only the

prince would

time for sleep mesophone you will not do

well at the audition if you are falling

asleep

you are correct miss gravel a princess

needs her beauty sleep

there are other important parts besides

the princess

yes the dove the elf and the witch oui

and there are also the trees

a tree that is not much of a path nobody

wants to be a tree

still even a small part is important

bonuy my little thespians

that night as madeline slumbered away

she dreamt of starring in the play

madeline

you were the best princess moonflower

ever

the next day the girls tried out for the

parts that all of them wanted with all

of their hearts

i

am

princess

moon flower

children i have made my selection the

role of the prince will be played by

your neighbor pepito

you all did very well but one girl stood

out among the rest so the role of

princess moonflower goes to

it almost broke poor madeline's heart

when she did not get her favorite part

next the part of the elf

the part will go to

daniel

lulu will play the dove and janine will

play the witch

the rest of you will play

trees

madeline was not pleased to be cast in

the role of a common tree

remember trees there are no small parts

only small actors huh

every part is important

even the smallest ones

you will see children

soon there were costumes props and fun

well

maybe not for everyone

it is very dull to be a tree

do not worry madeline i have thought of

a way to get out of doing it

well first what we gonna

oh sylvie

just watch

attention trees quiet

my stomach hats oh

this is not good you must go and lie

down go on

some of the girls then played a trick

and told their teacher

they were sick

go on leave

now

you might as well leave too madeline

are you really sick

of course not but miss clavel said we

must stay in bed

why did you not pretend to be sick

madeline i thought that it was the wrong

thing to do

and besides i am not sure they would

believe me

time for your medicine may petite

while her friends had to stay inside

have no fear the prince is here

madeline went out to the yard

to hide

huh

magillaine what are you doing there i

thought you were rehearsing

the other girls are in bed it does not

matter the trees are not important

you are locker crazy have you read the

script

no

once the prince breaks the spell the

trees are set free and dad's around the

stage and they glitter

really they have pretty costumes do they

speak

no but without the trees there will be

no play all parts are important even the

smallest ones

did you say that the costumes are pretty

it says that leaves shimmer like a

million diamonds

hey

where are you going soon madeline was on

her way

back to the house with something to say

we must go back they need us

they do not need trees

no one will even notice us but if you

had the pact of the princess would you

want the trees to quit

come on mesami as shakespeare said the

play's the thing

but

the next time that you watch a plague

remember that it's fine to have a giant

monologue of just one little line

although it's great to play the role of

princess saw the swan without the

flowers and the trees

without the belting rolls the plot would

have been

me

please da

everything is ready trees take your

places

all would play their parts with ease

especially the little trees soon it was

time for the big matinee the girls would

now perform their play

each actor did her very best the dove

the elf

and all the rest

oh i am afraid i will be in the

enchanted forest forever

i wish i could help you but the witch

said that only a prince could break the

spell

but there is no hope i have never even

seen a prince

herc i hear someone approaching

never fear the prince is here

this spell is broken now i am free

look the trees

the cheers forever seemed to last

the praise was meant for the whole cast

oh wonderful

i am glad you got well in time for the

play

we were not really sick and

we did not want to be trees

we were just pretending pretending

but you could have ruined the play

we know

but we ended up finding that even a

small path can be lots of fun

it is a good thing the play was not gone

then

thank you and you were the best trees

ever

into bed now my petite

but we are too excited to sleep then act

as if you are asleep for you are all

very good at acting

so the girls closed their eyes

and pretended to smile

and that's all there is there isn't any

more

that's all
