| Required: | 2 scouts wearing boots. pair of tennis shoes. |
| Preparation: | Scout #2 should have his boots very loosely laced so they can come off quickly. |
| Script: | (scouts sitting center stage as if they are keeping warm around a campfire) Scout #1: Nice fire. Scout #2: Yep, nice night too. (pause) Scout #1: What was that? Did you hear something? Scout #2: Yep, sounded like a bear to me. Off over that way. (points offstage. Then, starts untieing his boots.) (pause until his boots are about off.) Scout #1: Hey! There it is again. Sounds closer. (from here on, #1 sould occasionally glance over his shoulder toward the bear and looking scared.) Scout #2: Yep, sure does. (has boots off and starts slipping on tennis shoes.) Scout #1: What are you doing? Scout #2: I'm just putting on my tennis shoes. Scout #1: Duh! WHY are you putting on your tennis shoes? Scout #2: Because it sounds like that bear is heading right into our camp. Scout #1: But, bears are much faster than you - those shoes won't help you outrun that bear. Scout #2: I don't have to outrun the bear - I just have to outrun you! (both scouts run offstage away from the bear, with #2 in the lead and #1 clomping after him and screaming.) |
