00:35 | . Four . I want to talk to you guys | |
00:37 | today about the story of the Nutcracker and the Nutcracker | |
00:42 | is something that's very special to me because as someone | |
00:44 | who was growing up doing ballet , I was in | |
00:48 | the valley of the Nutcracker for like 10 years in | |
00:52 | a row , I was in that performance , I | |
00:55 | got to play a bunch of different parts and we | |
00:57 | are going to read the story of the nutcracker right | |
01:00 | now . Come on , it was good . Mhm | |
01:04 | . Mhm . Yeah , So we have the nutcracker | |
01:14 | illustrated by Sheila Beckett by reading Bill Dickey . This | |
01:22 | is okay . Once there was a little girl named | |
01:25 | Clara whose family was having a wonderful party on a | |
01:28 | snowy christmas eve merry christmas , she said as she | |
01:32 | agreed with each guest . The last guest to arrive | |
01:39 | was Clara's Godfather Hair drosselmeyer . All the Children loved | |
01:43 | him very much because he was a toy maker and | |
01:46 | a wonderful storyteller . Clara thought he could even perform | |
01:49 | magic merry christmas . Clara he said , presenting her | |
01:53 | with a heavy package merry christmas and thank you , | |
01:57 | Clara cried , lifting a large wooden nutcracker from the | |
02:00 | wrappings . He looks like a very brave soldier , | |
02:03 | she said . And so he , he is air | |
02:06 | jostle Meyer replied . Yeah . Just then the musicians | |
02:13 | began to play a lively tune and all the grownups | |
02:16 | began to dance . Clara carried her nutcracker over to | |
02:20 | where her cousins and friends were playing with their new | |
02:22 | toys , holding him carefully , she softly hummed a | |
02:26 | christmas carol . All of a sudden Clara's little brother | |
02:29 | fritz jumped up from behind her chair and grab the | |
02:31 | nutcracker . Oh so you're sneaking up there ? Yeah | |
02:40 | , no for its no . Clara cried chasing him | |
02:43 | soon all the Children were running after fritz . But | |
02:46 | the nutcracker was very heavy and fritz was a very | |
02:48 | little boy . The nutcracker crashed to the floor and | |
02:51 | he broke . Clara sadly picked up her injured nutcracker | |
02:55 | and showed him to draw some ire . Why Clara | |
02:59 | ? He said , tying his handkerchief from around the | |
03:01 | nutcrackers broken jaw . Many good good soldiers get hurt | |
03:05 | in battle . This will be his bandage and you | |
03:08 | will be his nurse . And he wiped her tears | |
03:10 | away and handed the nutcracker back to her . Mhm | |
03:17 | . Clara was a good little nurse . She gently | |
03:19 | tuck the nutcracker into the doll's bed she had received | |
03:22 | as a christmas present . She stayed by his side | |
03:25 | until all the guests had gone home . Then she | |
03:28 | kissed him good night and went to bed . But | |
03:31 | Clara could not stop thinking about her nutcracker . So | |
03:33 | back downstairs she crept and lifted him from the little | |
03:37 | bed . Then she curled up on the sofa and | |
03:40 | fell asleep with the nutcracker in her arms . Shut | |
03:43 | up . Mhm . While Clara was sleeping , Air | |
03:49 | jostle . Meyer came into the room . He quietly | |
03:52 | took the handkerchief off the nutcrackers jaw and gently waved | |
03:56 | over Clara and her new toy . Suddenly the nutcracker | |
03:59 | was transformed into a handsome prince standing guard over Clara | |
04:03 | while she slept . All right . Later that night | |
04:10 | Clara woke up the house , the tree and the | |
04:13 | toys seem to be getting larger . Tremendous mice were | |
04:16 | running all over the room and then she saw the | |
04:19 | prince bravely battling a mouse wearing a crown . Leave | |
04:22 | him alone ! Clara shouted at the wicked mice . | |
04:25 | She jumped off the sofa and through her slipper at | |
04:27 | the Mouse King , hitting him squarely on the head | |
04:30 | . He fell to the floor and the other mice | |
04:32 | ran off carrying their leader . Thank you for your | |
04:38 | help . Clara said the Prince , picking up the | |
04:41 | crown that had fallen from the Mouse King's head . | |
04:43 | I would like to invite you to the Land of | |
04:45 | the Sweets to meet the sugar sugar plum fairy who | |
04:48 | is ruling there . Until I return . The prince | |
04:51 | placed the crown upon Clara's head and her nightgown changed | |
04:54 | into a beautiful shimmering dress . Together . They stepped | |
04:58 | outside . The falling snow , whist around them in | |
05:01 | a pretty white dance as they traveled in a magical | |
05:04 | sleigh to the beautiful land of Sweets . Yeah when | |
05:09 | Clara and the prince arrived they were greeted by the | |
05:11 | beautiful sugar plum fairy . The prince told her about | |
05:15 | the battle with the giant mice and how Clara had | |
05:17 | saved him from the mouse King . Hooray for Clara | |
05:20 | ! Cried the people from the Land of Sweets . | |
05:22 | They let Clara to the princess and the prince to | |
05:25 | to candy cane Thrones and they began a celebration performing | |

05:40 | dancers did a splendid candy cane dance , jumping high | |
05:43 | into the air . Yeah , at the end of | |
05:51 | the evening the sugar plum fairy twirled gracefully with her | |
05:54 | cavalier Clara's side as she watched the beautiful dance . | |

06:05 | Clara , but one day we will return to land | |
06:08 | to the Land of the Sweets . as the two | |
