"Three Wishes" & "The Wolf in Sheeps Clothing" by Spring Valley Puppets

What would you do if a magical Elf gave YOU three wishes?  That’s just what happens to Henry and Gretchen in this puppet production of “The Three Wishes.” This folktale favorite is flavored with a dash of dialogue, a generous helping of humor and the twists of plot for which the Spring Valley Puppet Theater is known.

 

Also a hungry Wolf tries to outwit the savvy Shepherd and make a meal of the helpless, little Lamb.  Helpless?  Maybe not! 

Adapted from the Aesop Fable, this popular story is enlivened with a colorful Mexican setting, a humorous communication gap and a surprise ending!
