Script: 梁山伯与祝英台的故事 By Xuemei Li

从前有一个美丽的姑娘,她的名字叫祝英台。祝英台的家里很有钱。祝英台不仅聪明,而且很好学。但是由于祝英台是个女孩,所以她只能在家里学习。古代的时候,女孩子是不允许到学校里去上学的。祝英台非常想去上学。有一天,她想到了一个好主意。她穿上了男孩子的衣服。她想打扮成男孩子去学校学习。她的爸爸一开始不同意她打扮成男孩子去上学。但是祝英台坚决要去上学,她的爸爸只好同意了。祝英台在去学校的路上碰见了一个叫梁山伯的男孩。他也是去学校上学。于是他们两一起高高兴兴地去上学。

在学校学习的时候,祝英台和梁山伯成为了很好的朋友。他们经常在一起学习和玩耍。他们还常常互相帮助和照顾对方。他们在一起学习了三年,可是梁山伯没有发现祝英台是女孩。三年之后的有一天,祝英台收到家里的来信。她的爸爸生病了。祝英台只好收拾行李,准备回家。因为梁山伯既勤奋又善良,祝英台已经深深地爱上了他。可是梁山伯并不知道。梁山伯和祝英台是最好的朋友,所以他要去送祝英台。梁山伯与祝英台分别的时候,祝英台想告诉梁山伯她很爱他,可是她又不好意思。虽然祝英台几次暗示梁山伯她是女孩,但是梁山伯还是没有明白。于是祝英台告诉梁山伯,她有一个妹妹长得和她一摸一样,希望梁山伯可以跟她结婚。梁山伯很喜欢祝英台的外貌和才能,因此他觉得祝英台的妹妹肯定也很漂亮能干。于是他答应了祝英台。
