37 NARRATOR: Each evening, to get in shape for the race, Young John
went out for a run. (He runs around stage.) Soon he could run as
fast as the wind.

38 YOUNG JOHN (Jogging in place): I think I’m ready! Practice really
does make perfect. (Jogs off)

39 NARRATOR: At last, the day of the race arrived! Trumpets sounded
(MESSENGERS enter and blow fanfare on kazoos)—O.K., kazoos
sounded—and the runners and spectators gathered. (YOUNG
MEN, YOUNG JOHN, SPECTATORS, MESSENGERS, and

ATALANTA enter. All runners stretch out. KING HENRY enters.)

40 KING: Welcome, welcome, everyone, on this great day! To the
runners, I wish you good luck. And to you, my dear Atalanta, I
must say farewell. By tomorrow you will be married!

41 ATALANTA: Don’t be so sure about that, Dad. (Steps to audience)
They’re going to eat my dust!

42 KING: Runners, to the starting line! (They line up at one side of
stage.) On your mark, get set, go! (All start running in “slow
motion.” Spectators do silent, “slow motion” cheering.)

spectators Spectators are people who watch an event, such as a sports competition.
