Action
Mosquito Skit
[Two scouts walk onto stage, pretending to be hikers.]
SCOUT ONE: “Here’s a good spot to pitch our tents!”
SCOUT TWO: [Pretends to look in his pack.] “Oh, no! I forgot my tent!”
SCOUT ONE: “Well, guess you have to sleep on the ground. Good night!”
[Both SCOUTS lie down and pretend to go to sleep. From off-stage come the MOSQUITOES, buzzing loudly, who proceed to go to SCOUT TWO and sting him. SCOUT TWO wakes up in a fit.]
SCOUT TWO: “These mosquitoes are terrible! Hey, switch places with me!”
SCOUT ONE: “No! Go back to sleep!”
[Both scouts lie down and pretend to go to sleep again. From off-stage come the MOSQUITOES, who proceed to go to SCOUT TWO and sting him. SCOUT TWO wakes up in a fit again.]
SCOUT TWO: “Aug! These mosquitoes are eating me alive! Please give me a turn in the tent!”
SCOUT ONE: “Oh, all right! If it’ll get you to let me sleep in peace, let’s switch!”
[SCOUTS ONE and TWO switch places and lie down to sleep. MOSQUITOES come buzzing back on-stage and make their way towards SCOUT ONE, who is now sleeping where SCOUT TWO had been. As they get close, one MOSQUITO stops all the others.]
MOSQUITO: “Wait, wait, wait! We already got this guy the last two times! Let’s the get the other guy instead!”
[MOSQUITOES then proceed to attack SCOUT TWO, thinking that he was SCOUT ONE.]
