The Swiss Family Robinson — scene 1

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful Swiss family sailing across the big blue ocean. Father Robinson stood on the deck of their ship with his loving wife, Mother Robinson, and their two sons, Fritz and Ernest. The ocean sparkled like diamonds in the sunshine, and gentle waves rocked their ship back and forth. Father Robinson pointed toward the horizon with excitement in his eyes. We are going to start a brand new life, he told his family with a warm smile. Mother Robinson held her sons close as they all looked out at the endless water together. Fritz, the older brother, felt so grown-up helping his father with the ship. Little Ernest watched everything with curious eyes, always eager to learn something new. The salty sea breeze filled their sails, and seabirds danced in the sky above them. The whole family felt hopeful and happy as they sailed toward their future together. They had no idea that the greatest adventure of their lives was about to begin.
