Puppet Scripts/Making

So we were supposed to devise a script based off an international fairytale or folktale. My group (Irene, Cindy, Celestine, Natalie, and me) chose a Filipino one where a beautiful princess is walking along the river and she meets the King Crab but she's disgusted by him so she runs away and shuns him when he asks her to talk. He is completely offended and goes after her to attack her. He scratches up her face and when she tries to wash the cuts with river water, her skin begins to turn into scales and then she becomes this ugly fish. Devising a script is harder than I thought it would be (everything seems to be like that). We just wanted to make our characters say random things but when we really looked at it, it didn't seem appropriate. Not in like the bad inappropriate but it just didn't fit what the story should be and where it was from. It's also really hard to change some of the story into actual dialogue (did I spell that wrong? the computer underlined it in red) so we had a lot of Narrator parts. But then Ms. Karr told us that that was bad. So we're making the characters pretty much announce what they're doing now. I'm not quite sure if it works better, but at least most of the Narrator is gone now. I'm also responsible for making the trees for our setting. It's quite fun except cutting them out is a bit annoying. Even though I only have two trees.
