Skit performed at Concordia Language Villages

Translated an adaptation of "The Little Engine that Could" for some other campers at Family Week summer camp at Concordia Language Villages.

Here is the script.

Could have some idiomatic mistakes even though it was very simple. The main goal was to keep it simple so the speakers could say their lines with confidence. Also wanted the sub-phrases making up the kids' (ages 4-6) repeated line to be useful.

The parents wrote the adaptation out in English. Various parents played the engines, but children played 2 of the engines, one that wanted to play and did a cartwheel, and the last little engine. I played the narrator.
