去北極
While touring with a children's theater company I wasin a play which involved a character called the IceWoman, who wanted winter to last all year round.Throughout the play we required the help of thechildren in defeating the Ice Woman. Finally she isbanished and the old man of the village calls out asshe makes her exit, "Go to the North Pole, IceWoman!" "While most of the audience ofkindergarten youngsters cheered, one little boyburst into tears and could not be comforted. Thinking he was frightened by the Ice woman'scostume, the old man said, "It's all right, she's gone to the North Pole." With an anxiousexpression, the boy just barely managed to sob, "But that's where Santa Clause lives!"
一次，和兒童劇團一起巡回演出，劇中有個叫“冰夫人”的角色，她希望全年都是冬天。劇中我們需要孩子們的幫助來打敗冰夫人。最后，冰夫人被驅逐，她逃走的時候，村子里的長者大喊：“去北極吧!冰夫人!”幼兒園的大多數小朋友都歡呼起來，可是有一個小男孩卻哭得淚流滿面，怎么安慰也不起作用。長者猜想他可能是被冰夫人的服裝嚇壞了，于是說道：“沒關系，她已經去北極了。”那個小男孩一副焦慮的樣子，好不容易才抽泣著說：“可是圣誕老人住在北極啊!”
