Now this is the story of the...the...

the... Peter and the Wolf

As you know, in the musical score of Peter and the Wolf

each character is represented by a corresponding instrument in the orchestra.

Peter, by the string quartet.

The bird, whose name is Sasha, by a flute

way up high.

Sonia, the duck, by an oboe, like this

And here is Ivan the cat, represented by a clarinet,

in a very low, ehemm, in a very low register.

Granpapa is an old bassoon

The shooting of the hunters' guns, by the kettledrums.

And there is also a wolf.

Little does that wolf know what's in store for him this day

For our hero, little Peter, armed to the teeth, is setting forth to capture him.

uh oh, there seems to have been a change of plans

For Peter's grandpapa thinks that little boys like Peter

should not go out to hunt the wolf.

This is very embarrasing for a great hunter

And this is Sasha, the little bird we told you about

excitable little chap, isn't he?

Forgetful too.

Hello Peter, what goes? ... where're you going, huh?

Can I go, Petey? Can I help?

Oh, boy, a gun!

loaded too!

goin' huntin'? oh, oh, that's for me!

Everything's okay, Petey. Come on, let's go!

The wolf!

Oh, it isn't the wolf at all.

It's only Sonia, the duck

Hello, Sonia. Hello, Petey.

Now Sonia wants to join the party.

Imagination is a wonderful thing!

But sometimes it can run away with you.

You coward!

Now who is this?

Well, it can't be...

Oh, he he, no. It's Ivan, the cat

Hello, Ivan

Ivan is a peaceful fun loving sort

maybe a shy on the brains, you know the type

Hey, look out Sasha!

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

Oh, how can they ever get any place

if they're gonna fight among themselves?

Ivan, you oughta to be ashamed

You big bully, you cat in the grass.

Come on Sasha! Ivan's sorry. He won't do it again.
