Jack's House. (Scene 1)
Mother
There's a hole in my blouse.
I'm in need of a grouse!
The floor is now souse.
And there's a mouse in my house.
Mouse
Squeak!
Mother
Eek!
Mouse
Squeek!!
Mother
Eeeek!!
Wake up my son. Come here, quick.
This isn't fun! And, bring a broomstick!
Mouse
Squeak!
Mother
Ack!
Mouse
Squeak!
Mother
Jaaack!
Hurry up now, son. Come take a peek!
This mouse is big!
Mouse
Squeeeeeak!
Mother
Goodness, gosh I'm scared of it.
I am sure to yell and throw a fit!
Jack
Mother, should I take the mouse,
Outside of our quaint house?
Mother
Yes, my son. That would help!
I'm am about to let out a yelp!
Jack
Hit the mouse, I shall not do.
It's fine standing there; by your...
Mother
Shoo-oooo!!!!
Jack, my son, go in the house,
We must rid ourselves of this little mouse.
Go inside and get the broom!
It's right outside of your little bedroom.
Jack
Mother, I will take the mouse away,
And in our house, he'll no longer stay.
Mother
Jack, don't wait! Get on with it!
Go on now! I'm ready to sit!!
Jack
Hello there, you nice, little mouse.
I know that you like our quaint, little house.
But it's far too small - too tiny for us.
Please go out, so there's not a fuss!
Mouse
Squack.
Mother
Don't come back!
Mouse
Squack!
Mother
Jack!
Jack
I have an idea for the mouse to go.
This is really good. I'm smart.
Mother
I know.
Jack
We'll play hide 'n go, hide 'n go - hide and go seek!
Mouse
Squeek!?
Mother
Don't speak!
Jack
I'll count to ten,
Again and again.
And then,
You will hide,
And then hide,
And then hide,
And then...
I'll seek!
Mouse
Squeek?
Jack
I won't peek!
Mouse
Squeek!
Jack
Go find a spot, while I count one to ten.
1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 9 and then, 10!
Mother
Keep doing this Jack. You do have a knack. I am going on in...
Jack
Are you ready, my friend, to do it again?
Oh, please do not worry, it's alright to speak.
Mouse
Squeek?!
Jack
That squeek was quite peak!
This time though, from 10 down to 1.
Tell me mouse, are you having fun?
Mouse
Squeek!! Squeek!!!
Jack
It's not my turn. I can't yet seek! Once again, go hide from me. And then we will see if I find thee!!! 1 to 5 and 6 to 10. Your hiding time is at an end. Now's it's time for me to seek!
Mother
Where is that mouse? I'll make it squeek!!!
Jack
Mother, no!
Mother
It has to go! There you are, you little pest! You certainly have a large fill of zest! I'm gonna get you!
Mouse
Squeek!
Mother
Shoo!
Jack
Goodbye little mouse. Be safe. Have fun!
Mother
Away from my house, mouse! Run!
Jack
I'm done. So, mother can I get back into bed?
Mother
Jack sell the cow and then rest your head.
Jack
What do you mean? Our Bessie's divine!
Mother
We're much too lean, Jack. Sell the bovine!
Jack
Bessie's my pet, my friend and my pal. She's good and kind and a cow of a gal... gal of a cow is what I should have said. Please, oh please; I don't have to be fed!
Mother
For you, my son to eat and to grow, Bessie the cow has now got to go. Now, off to the market and find us a buyer, while I go inside for my feet to retire.
Jack
I'm sorry, mother. I don't mean to argue. I'll go sell Bessie for two plus two.
Mother
SIX pieces of gold for Bessie, the cow. Stay 'til she's sold. Go quickly now.
Jack
I'll walk for miles to do what you ask. I'll be back soon, after doing my task.

"Personal Use" would be totally FREE!!! I would be honored if you'd read it to your grandchildren! Maybe this will encourage them to get involoved with acting. If they are old enough (~ age 4+), let them read aloud some of the roles, or have them repeat after you. Get each of them up - on their feet - and have them be active with it. It will help them build confidence with performing in front of others. Get them to remember the lines and then give each of them suggestions of what to do with each of the lines. I'll finish posting the rest of the scenes soon. Thanks Gawn Fishin'. Artistically, ProCW
Ver good! I read it to my daughter lol
Thank you ProCW. As soon as I walk into their home there is a book handed to me by the 2, and 3 year olds. They do get involved in the stories, and yours have so much fun, excitement, and education, I know it will be their favorite. The 2 year old will be a good mouse!
Trisha
It seems to be very well written. Not familiar with writing in this fashion. I love it though.

This a wonderful play. I love how you promote literacy through your plays.
