Scene: On a hill in the country
Characters: Jack, Jill
Props: plastic bucket, mat to roll on,
long cushion for the log
(Jill is waiting halfway up the
‘hill’ for Jack. Jack is offstage.)
Jill: Come on, Jack! Hurry up!
Jack: Ok! I’m on my way. (He catches up to Jill.)
Jill: Let’s fetch water as quickly as we can. Then we can
have the rest of the day to play.
Jack: I hate this hill! I’m sick of going up it every day to
fetch water from the well.
Jill: I hate it too! But if we didn’t go, we wouldn’t have
any water to drink.
Jack: I know. (He smiles and holds the bucket on top of his
head.) Hey, Jill! Do you like my hat?
Jill: Jack, stop wasting time! (She tries to grab the bucket.)
Jack: (He bends over and holds the bucket on his back.)
Now I’m a camel!
Jill: Jack, watch out for that log!
Jack: (Looking at Jill.) What log? (In slow motion and
exaggerated expression and movement, he trips over the
cushion.) Help! (He drops the bucket, falls over and rolls
down the hill.)
Jill: Jack, are you all right? (She puts her foot on the bucket.)
Oh, no! (In slow motion and exaggerated expression, she
falls over and rolls down the hill after him.)
