Announcer: Good Morning everybody Today we are going to tell you a wonderful story, the story of a princess, well,

she was a duchess really who was born a century ago and whose disappearance became one of the greatest mysteries of the twentieth century, Ten years later, a forgetful, absentminded girl assures she is the lost duchess and with the help of two male friends could find, finally, her family. Are you ready to see it? Ladies and gentlemen.Anastasia!

NARRATOR: There was a time, long, long ago, when we, the Russians, lived in an enchanted world of elegant palaces and grand parties. The year was 1916 and Nicholas was the czar of Imperial Russia. They were celebrating 300 years of the Romanovs rule. They thought they were going to rule forever and we floated on a glorious cloud in a beautiful, magical time that would soon be gone. I remember that night as it was yesterday; we were at the palace, in Saint Petersburg

Sonya: Princess Anastasia, you re late and its all my fault!

Anastasia: Dont worry, Sonya no one will notice Sonya; But you know the family is gathered today theres a grand celebration Anastasia: Yes I am late, as usual

Sonya Arent you going ask me why I am Late? Because I have a lot of things to do , a lot of hair to comb,Olga Tatiana, Maria and you are going to drive me crazy Anastasia Oh, Sonya come on dont complain

SonYA And sometiomes And sometimes even your grandma asks for my help, and her hairstyles are so complicated... l'm tired of this situation!

Anastasia

giggling) Hey, Sonya, don't exaggerate!

Sonya

taking Anastasia's hair gently) You know you are

the center of everybody's attention, your father is there, he wants to dance with you...

Nicholas

approaching his daughter) Would you give me the

honor of dancing with you? Anastasia: Oh, father! I'd love to, but I have to talk to

Grandmama. Remember this celebration is a farewell party, she leaves me alone right here... Nicholas Don't be sad my sweet child, you'll be with her

NARRRATOR: Finally, Anya entered the palace where she had spent very nice moments in her early childhood, but she didnt remember anything she had no memories.
(Anya doesnt notice a boy who was sitting at the palace and steps on him)

VADIM: Ouch! That really hurt! ANYA: Sorry, I didnt.. VADIM: Im Vadim ANYA: They call me ANYA,.. VADIM: Who did you hear it from?.......... ANYA: Money??
