LEGEND

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY by WILLIAM HJORTSBERG

2nd Draft Revised 10 March 1984
1EXTERIOR FOREST NIGHT



Huge trees taper upward like columns supporting the roof of heaven.

Moonlit dewdrops spangle a delicate spiderweb. The setting is

tranquil and utterly majestic.
Over the brow of a distant hill, a pair of brilliant light beams

scintillate in an etheral ballet.
Numerous small animals gather to behold this wonder. They stand on

the hillcrest, staring down as if at the Nativity.
Squirrels, quail, hedgehogs, mice, pheasants and badgers, natural

enemies untied by the radiant LIGHT.
A magnificent stag watches, numbers of tiny songbirds perched in his

branching antlers.
