We often think that TPRS stories are for kids, but adults can have fun with them too. Here is a story that my new students came up with. I used Anne Matava's script "The Thirsty Boy". The original structures were : is thirsty, goes to and I'm sorry. I suspected that my students were already familiar with I'm sorry, so I replaced it with an expression they will certainly hear often when they travel, What would you like to drink?
There was a
very handsome vampire. His name was
Edward and he looked like George Clooney.
He lived in a castle in Scotland near Loch Ness. Edward was very thirsty. He wanted to drink.
He took the
Eurostar from London to Marmande. Then
he hitchhiked. Angel was driving from
Marmande in her yellow Ferrari and she saw the handsome vampire, so she
stopped.
“Where do you
want to go?” she asked.
“I want to go
to Aiguillon,” Edward answered. “I’m
very thirsty.”
So Angel drove
Edward to Aiguillon and they stopped at the Terrace.
“What would
you like to drink?” asked the waitress.
“I’d like some
champagne,” said Angel.
“I’d like some
blo….. cranberry juice,” said Edward.
The waitress
brought a glass of champagne for Angel and a glass of cranberry juice for
Edward. Edward drank and said, “Yuck!
This is horrible.”
So Edward and
Angel left the Terrace and went to the Bierbel café. “What would you like to drink?” asked the
waiter.
“I’d like a
glass of champagne,” said Angel.
“I’d like some
..... tomato juice,” said Edward.
The waiter
brought a glass of Buzet for Angel and a glass of tomato juice for Edward. Edward drank and said, “Yuck!!! This is
awful!”
So Angel and
Edward went to the Ranch. “What would you like to drink?” asked the barman.
“I’d like some
champagne,” said Angel. “I’d like some
pink champagne,” said Edward.
The waiter
brought a big bottle of pink champagne.
Angel drank the whole bottle and Edward was very happy. He likes champagne-flavored blood.
The End
