The
Lion and the Mouse
Lion:
What a beautiful day for a nap. The sun is shining and there is no one
around to bother me. I’ll just rest my eyes for a little bit. (Starts to snore) Mouse:
(singing, then stops)…Oh, oh, oh
no that lion is in the way. I have to get home. Maybe if I creep by him he
won’t wake up. Mouse
inches closer to Lion but each time he snores he gets scared. Finally Lion
wakes up. Lion:
What, what is this racket? Who has disturbed my sleep? Oh was it you little
mouse? Great I could use a tasty snack after being so rudely awakened. Come
here little mouse so I can eat you. Mouse:
Oh no, great lion do not eat me. We should be friends. Lion:
Friends, friends that’s funny. Why on earth would I want to be friends
with a little animal like you? Mouse:
Well, friends are important. They can help you if you ever get into trouble,
just like I might be able to help you one day. Lion:
You, you, help me? (Laughs loud)…that really is funny little mouse. How
could a little mouse like you ever help the king of the jungle like me? You
are too funny little mouse and because of that I will let you go. Now be
gone or else I might change my mind. (Keeps
laughing…you help me, hahahahaha). Mouse
creeps away, all the sudden noises of hunters in the background. Lion:
What’s that I hear? I think I hear hunters coming. Oh no, I shouldn’t
have talked to that little mouse for so long. He distracted me. (Net
thrown on top) Lion:
Help me! Help me! I’m trapped in this net, if I don’t get out soon the
hunters will get me. Mouse:
Well I can help you Lion, I will chew my way through the net and then you
can escape. Lion:
Work quickly little mouse. (Mouse
chews and removes net) Lion:
Whew, thank you little mouse. You were right you were able to help me. You
can be my friend any day little mouse. Now what do you say we get out here?
Hop on…little friend. Mouse: You got it…friend.
