comic script on the poem frog and the nightingale
Answers
The nightingale decided to continue her stay at Bingle Bog after getting encouraging appreciation from the creatures of the Bog. As she was about to sing the next evening, she was interrupted by the frog. They had the following conversation:
The frog: Ahem! Ahem! I am the owner of the tree you are perching upon!
The nightingale: (surprised) Oh! Really! I did not know! I am sorry for sitting on it and spending my entire night on it!
The frog: (condescendingly) It is alright. You can use it as long as you wish. By the way, I am the famous singer of this Bog. People love me for my baritone! And quite regularly I write my own songs. I also hold frequent concerts here and compose them all by myself!
The nightingale: (quite impressed) Oh! Really! I am so much impressed! Did you…did you hear my last night’s performance? I received such a huge applause from the creatures of the Bog! Was my singing good?
The frog: (cunningly) Hmm…your singing was just average! You could have sung far better. It lacked some punch!
The nightingale: (offended and hurt) But I sang my original songs! Besides the creatures applauded it so much! If it were ordinary, they would not have asked for encore performance!
The frog: (angrily) They are just ordinary, foolish creatures! On the contrary I am a great judge and critic of music! How can they judge the shortcomings of your singing?
The nightingale: (submissively) Will you give me training to get rid of those flaws in my singing? I want to be perfect!
The frog: (meanly) Sure! I will make you a great singer! People will come from far and wide to hear your voice! But I will charge a modest fee! If that is acceptable to you, you can start the training from tomorrow onwards!
The nightingale (ecstatically) I will pay the fee! How lucky I am to have got a trainer like you! you are certainly Mozart’s soul come from heaven to teach me singing.
