Scene 1:

Narrator: As you have been told already today, Moses was a simple ordinary man. At the time of his birth, his parents were slaves to King Pharaoh in Egypt. Before Moses was born, King Pharaoh of Egypt started thinking that there were too many Hebrews in Egypt and that the Hebrews would soon take over his kingdom, so he decided to have all newborn baby boys killed. Now Moses Mother did not want her Baby boy killed, so she hid Moses and as he became older he started making too much noise to stay hidden, so his mother had to find another way to protect him from being killed. She decided to put him in a special made basket and placed him in the Nile river, hoping that someone, without knowing that he was a Hebrew baby, find him and take care of him.

Pharaoh’s daughter: (pretends to instruct her handmaiden to go get the basket)

Narrator: "Pharaoh’s daughter told her handmaiden to get in the water
