SONG “Love story - Andy Williams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jEaIDqHl74

Where do I begin to tell the story....” (1 куплет)

Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With angels songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand-its always there

Jim is going away after the song.

Scene 2. Della and Madame

(звуковой файл Приложение 2)

Della walking down the street: “One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That is all. And sixty cents of it are in pennies. Pennies have been saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher...I have counted them 3 times... And the next day will be Christmas. I have been saving every penny I could for months, with this result. Twenty dollars a week doesn't go far. Expenses have been greater than I have calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. My Jim. Many happy hours I have spent planning for something nice for him. I have been looking forward to this nice holiday with my Jim....But I can’t afford any presents....My dear Jim. He takes such a big place in my life.”

Della is singing

Song” BARBRA STREISAND

"Evergreen (Love Theme From "A Star Is Born")" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-vADV3GNzo

Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love is ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and I will
make each night the first
Everyday a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
'Cause we have the brightest love.

Della stopped and read the sign: "Mrs. Sofronie. Hair Goods of All Kinds."

Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag.

Della came in and asked: "Will you buy my hair?"

Madame. "I buy hair," "Take your hat off and let's have a sight at the looks of it."

Down rippled the brown cascade.

Madame, lifting the mass with a practiced hand: "Twenty dollars.

Della. "Give it to me quick," “ Now I know what to buy for my Jim. I have seen such a beautiful chain for his watch.!!”

Della went away quickly to look for a present.

Scene 3. Jim and Shop assistant

(звуковой файл Приложение 4)

Jim: I love my dear Della so much. I can’t imagine my life without her. Where should I find any money for my present? Christmas is such a great holiday! But I have no money. I have nothing...just my watch...But I must solve the problem. I have seen the buying up just round the corner. There I will be able to sell my watch and get some money for the present. “

He came into the shop.

Shop assistant: Could I help you? What do you want?

Jim: I would like to sell my watch. How much does it cost?

Shop assistant: I think 20 dollars.

Jim: It is much more expensive. Really.

Shop assistant: I think 20 dollars. That’s enough money for it. Will you sell it?

We are going to close. Soon it will be Christmas...

Jim: Yes. I awfully need some money.
