A Hike

great time they will have hiking, etc.
Dad comes along in car, stops and leans out

Boys:
Oh hi, Mr. _____. What
are you doing out here?

All boys pile into the car acting wildly
excited.

the top!
Others:
Yes, Yes??

Two Skunks
Santa Clara County Council
Personnel – Narrator and two Cubs dressed as Skunks with signs saying
IN and OUT
Narrator: Once upon a time, there were two skunks named IN and OUT.
Each takes a bow as when his name is spoken
Narrator: When IN was out…
IN: (Walks stage left)
Narrator: OUT was in.
OUT: (Walks stage right)
Narrator: And, when OUT was out…
OUT: (Crosses the stage)
Narrator: IN was in.
IN: (Crosses to the other side)
Narrator: One day, Father Skunk, who was with in with OUT, said:
Father: I want you to go out and bring IN in.
OUT: (Goes off stage in search of IN, and quickly the two return)
Father: How did you find IN so quickly?
OUT: It was easy—IN-stinct!
