(SINGING) When you wish upon a star

Your dreams come true

(SIGHS)

Isn't that a catchy little tune? Well, how do?

Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket, to be precise.

And I'm here to tell you one humdinger of a tale.

It's a story that begins a long time ago.

Actually, it's a story that begins once upon a time, a long time ago.

That's right. Much better. Much more precise.

Never understood that expression. How can it be "once upon a time"?

Hey, who's telling this story? Me or you?

Well, who are you?

I'm you. Only older and wiser.

Really? How do you figure?

Because I'm the narrator telling this story post facto.

I know exactly what's gonna happen to you on this adventure.

Really? Well, let me ask you this. Am I ever gonna be warm again?

Just keep walking. You'll find out.

(SCOFFS)

Some storyteller you are.
