Page 3 - In a Nutshel Readalong

NARRATOR
At the foot of the Gingerbread Castle, the carefree
citizens of the Land of Sweets clamor for more nuts as
Franz, the royal Nutcracker, obligingly and quite
unsanitary-ly cracks a variety of nuts with his mighty
jaw.
The royal Princess Pirlipat preens inside her castle
walls, safe from mixing with her subjects and their
germ-y tendencies.
And in his tower, even the Royal Wizard, Drosselmeir,
absorbed in his ancient tomes of magic, is too absorbed
to be aware of the looming danger.
Only the sentry, the ever-wakeful Coffee, spies the
horde of ravenous invaders.
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to: "In A
Nutshell, the Mousical."
