Country Trolls [REDO VERSION]

In The Beginning

Once Upon a Time, in a peaceful desert,

In the liveliest cactus lived the most peaceful creatures the world has ever known; the Country Trolls.

(The Country Trolls lived happily inside the cactus)

They loved nothing more to sing, and dance, and do hoedown. Dance, and hoedown, and sing, and dance, and sing, and hoedown, dance... and hoedown, and dance, and sing, and hoedown, and dance and hoedown...

(A Country Troll collapsed in exhaustion)

But then one day, the Trolls were discovered by... a Scorpion!

(A picture of a Scorpion appears)

The Scorpions didn't know how to sing...

(They sing VERY off-key)

..or dance...

(They punch each other)

or even have a hoedown.

(They sting each other with their poisonous tails)

They were the most miserable creatures in all the land.

And once they saw how happy the Country Trolls were...

They wanted some of that happiness of themselves.

(The Country Trolls gasp to see that a Scorpion has eaten a Country Troll)

Eating a Country Troll made them feel so happy... they started a tradition.

(The Country Cactus was set in a cage in the center of the Scorpion Kingdom, Scorpion Town)

Once a year, every year... the Scorpion would gather around the Troll Tree... to taste happiness...

on a holiday they called...

...Countryfest.

(Wilder, a young Scorpion runs up to his mother, Mayor Dakota)

Young Wilder: Whoo! [both grunt] Good morning, Mommy! Mommy, wake up! Mommy, wake up! Wake up! Wake up, Mommy! Wake up, Mommy. Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy, wake up! [pokes his mother with his tail]

Dakota: [screams] Wilder! What time is it?

Young Wilder: It's Countryfest!

(Dakota and Wilder burst out from their house)

Dakota: Countryfest! Our one day to be happy.

Young Wilder: Yeah!

(The Scorpions chant for Countryfest as they walk up to the Country Cactus)

Scorpions: [chanting] Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!

(Chef Scorpio rises)

Chef Scorpio: Please give it up for your Keeper of the Country Trolls... your Minister of Happiness... your loyal Chef... [she appears] Me.

(She lights up the BBQ Grill with fire)

Scorpions: Ooh! [gasping, cheering]

Chef Scorpio: This is a very special Countryfest... as there is one amongst us who has never tasted a Country Troll.
