As I read, I will pay attention to tempo.
NARRATOR 1: Well, at least it isn’t a raging river that Brer
11 Rabbit has to cross, just a creek. Though it is higher than
23 usual, and the rain is still coming down hard.
32 BRER RABBIT: (to the audience) Well, that wasn’t too bad.
42 If getting my feet a little wet is the most unfortunate thing
54 that happens tonight, I’ll be just fine. (He shakes off the
65 wetness and looks around. Then, putting his hand to his ear,
76 he listens for a moment.) Music! I do believe I hear a party
89 shaping up! (He rubs his hands together eagerly.) And that
99 means dancing, and dancing means food to feed the dancers,
109 and that means a fine time is had by all. (He heads offstage
122 with a hop, skip, and a jump.)
129 NARRATOR 2: And indeed, a fine time is had by all,
139 especially Brer Rabbit, who doesn’t give another thought to
148 the weather. He tries every dance and every dish and finds
159 them all to his total satisfaction. 165
