　　Summary

Once, he even survived after drinking a glass of poisonous milk! Unfortunately, the outbreak of the war brought Mrs. Rudolph to sorrow, for an officer took Mrs. Rudolph away to the army. To save Mrs. Rudolph’s life, Peach made his way toward the army base. On his way to the destination, he met a dog, a hen and a monkey, and then they became his attendants. Finally, he found the Mrs.Rudolph.

　　Prologue

　　Narrator: Long time ago, in remote mountains, there was a small village by the river. Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph were the oldest couple in the village and they always got along with each other. Most unluckily, they didn’t have a child.

　　SceneⅠ

　　Narrator: Mrs. Rudolph usually did her laundry by the river. But one day, something

　　weird happened…

　　Mrs. A: How are you doing today? How come you are here so late (noticing the child)?

　　Wow! What a handsome boy! But, it’s a pity that he was picked-up…

　　Mrs. R: Well, I’m actually fine, but you know what…?

　　Mrs. A: What? …Don’t tell me you stepped on a cockroach or crashed an ant or something.

　　Mrs. R: No…There’s something worse- My flowers. I planted them with my own

　　hands, but they’ve all died.

　　Mrs. A: There you go again. You always make a fuss over very tiny things… You

　　should try to focus on something more significant. Hey, I’ve done my work…I’m

　　gonna go home.

　　Mrs. R: But, I haven’t told you the reason that…

　　Mrs. A: Oh, I …I …uh…I have to feed my dog… good-bye!

　　Mrs. R: Bye…since when did she have a dog?  How come everybody consider me too sensitive? It’s just that I’m more observant than you they are…(talking to the boy)  Oh, dear…um…you must be hungry. Ok… Grandma is going to go home soon…

　　Don’t cry…don’t cry…DON’T CRY!!! What a noisy kid you are! Oh, not another peach!  No, no, no…don’t think I’ll take you home. I already have a cute boy to take care of (considering). Should I take it home? I don’t want it and I don’t need it!  Better get home!

　　Mrs. R: But if there‘s a child in it, what will happen if nobody picks it up and it flows to the sea…if there’s a child in it…to be or not to be, that is the question! Okay…just a peek. It’s such a heavy one ! Let me see what’s inside… Gee, a boy again? I want a girl most…But he seems to be more handsome than my boy…Let me name you "Peach." (Women exits)

　　Narrator: Peach went on his journey…

　　SceneⅡ

　　Narrator: Sixteen years passed, and as the boy grew into manhood, he was immensely filial. The Rudolphs led a peaceful life until one day…

　　Peach: Grandpa? Grandma? (no answer) Ha! I happen to be thirsty (notice a glass on the table).

　　Mr. R: (Enter Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph) Where is that cup of poison?

　　Mrs. R: I remember putting it over here.

　　Mr. R: Dear me! It was poisonous milk!

　　Mrs. R: (puzzled) Who would take that? It’s no valuable treasure!

　　Mr. R: Oh! Don’t worry about it. It’s just for killing mice…

　　Mrs. R: I heard that drinking poisonous milk will cause terrible symptoms…

　　Mr. R: Like what? Spitting up blood? Passing out?

　　Mrs. R: Not exactly. First, the poisoned man will be abnormally excited. And then, he will dance with joy. But finally, his body will turn black, and he’ll pass out and died!

　　Mr. and Mrs. R: (Looking at each other suddenly!) Peach!!!

　　(Peach fainted, but, for unknown reason, he recovered right away and became stronger and stronger ever since).

　　Mr. R: I should have a glass of that milk!

　　SceneⅢ

　　Narrator: The outbreak of the war between two countries has destroyed the peace of the village. Crowds from the weapon-holding army have invaded and are robbing the residents whatever they want. One day, a tyrannous officer comes to visit the Rudolphs.

　　Officer 1: Anybody home?

　　Mrs. R: Yes. Oh! Is there a problem (worried)? Has something happened to my family?

　　Officer 1: There’s a war. Our country needs more strong young men to serve in the army.

　　Mrs. R: But my husband is over 70 and my grandson is just 16. There’s no one….

　　Officer 1: No matter what you say, I’ll take the fittest one back with me to the army.

　　Mrs. R: What can I do? What can I do?

　　Officer 1: Hurry up! Call your husband or grandson right now! I don’t have the whole day to wait for you – Sluggish old woman!

　　Mrs. R: Can I go with you? My husband is too old to fight for the country, and my…

　　Officer 1: Don’t tell me that your grandson is also too old to work too? How about 10,000 dollars? If you donate some money, I can help you and go on to next family.

　　Mrs. R: 10,000 dollars? I can’t even earn 10 dollars a day (deadedly).  I’ll go with you. I can cook and do some needlework. I can do something for the  army.

　　Officer 1: Ok! Ok! Just follow me! We can use some cooks…

　　(Exits Mrs. Rudolph and the officer)

　　Mr. R: Honey, we’re home…

　　Peach: Grandma?

　　Mr. R: She’s supposed to be cooking…

　　Mrs. A: I saw an officer take your wife away…

　　Mr. R: But how come?

　　Peach: (bravely) I’ll go and bring Grandma home.

　　Exit all

　　SceneⅣ

　　Narrator: On Peach's way to save his grandma, he has nothing but Grandpa's homemade dumplings. The base of the army is close at hand.

　　Peach: What a tough job! I've walked so far and no one is accompanying. How can I beat these soldiers all by myself? (rubbing his tummy)It's time to get something to eat (opens his dumpling)…....

　　(Enter dog)

　　Dog: Hey, buddy. I've had nothing to eat for several days. Could you spare me one of those?

　　Peach: No ...I'm so hungry that I can eat a horse. Spare you one? NO WAY!!!

　　Dog: Please. If you do.  I'll be your attendant. I know you are heading for the army.

　　Peach: Ok! Just one!

　　Dog: Thank you very much, and you can call me Douglas.

　　(Enter Hen)

　　Hen: Hey, buddy. Do you have an extra one of those? I've had nothing to eat for several days. Could you spare me one?

　　Peach: Ok, now, let me tell you something. I only have three of these. When I was gonna eat one of them, this dog came and I spare him one. Now when I was gonna eat another one, then you came. This is my lunch, not the relief!

　　Hen: Please, if you do so, I'll be your attendant. I know you are heading for the army.

　　Peach: Alright…Just one.

　　Hen: Thanks. And my name is Henna.

　　Monkey: Do you...

　　Peach: Let me guess…you want to ask “do you have an extra one? Right?”

　　Monkey: How did you know? But if you do...

　　Peach: If I do, you'll be my attendant, right?

　　Monkey: Wow, you're an amazing guy... so, do you...

　　Peach: Ok, ok! Just take it.

　　Monkey: You're so nice. And just call me Macaque.

　　Peach: (Sigh) Let's go!

　　Narrator: They arrive at the camp (Enter S1 and S2)

　　Soldier 1: You guys! Freeze! This is not a zoo! Go away!

　　Peach: We're here to save my grandma.

　　Soldier 1: Go.....away!

　　Peach: Okay, it's you, Macaque. Use your monkey boxing!

　　Monkey: Macaque, Macaque!

　　Soldier 2: Who are you? Show me your permit.

　　Peach: Where's my grandma? She's the old lady who was captured by you guys.

　　Soldier 2: An old lady? Oh, the woman... now she is in the general's room.

　　Peach: What? How can you do that to her? She is just a normal, old woman!

　　Soldier 2: Yeah, I agree... but I think that's why the general likes her...

　　Peach: I'll kill him!

　　Soldier 2: ( Stand in front of Peach) You’ll have to beat me first!

　　Peach: All right. It's your turn, Henna.

　　Henna: Henna, Henna!

　　(Henna wins the fight.)

　　The four head towards the general’s room.

　　Soldier 3: Who are you (Stand at the door)?

　　Peach: Let’s break into the room!

　　Soldier3: Hey, you can’t…

　　(Douglas kicks the soldier. When Peach goes into the room, he finds Mrs. R punishing and fussing at the general)

　　Peach: Grandma?

　　Mrs. R: Peach? Who let you in? And…how come you’re here?

　　Officer 2: Oh, help me…

　　Peach: Grandma! What’s the matter with you? Why have you become so…so…strange?  Let’s go home, Grandpa has been waiting for you.

　　Officer 2: No, no, no. You should take me far from this room first! She is terrible…I regret bringing her here…

　　Mrs. R: (Glaring angrily at officer) Shut up! This is no time for you to talk. Ha, ha, ha… you think that I’ll let you go like this? IMPOSSIBLE! I’ll treat you just as you treated me. Don’t forget how I begged you and what you had said to me…(gently turning to Peach) Peach, Grandma will go home soon, I just want to teach him a lesson.

　　Every body: YA!! We win, we win. That’s go home and hold a party to celebrate it.
