A Little Means Alot

Giving is something that is not often taught to children.

The concept of “giving all you have” is one that is lost on most adults, not to mention instructing the next generation.

Sample of script:

Jeff is standing at center stage, calling out. Sue enters stage right.

Jeff: Marbles! Collecting marbles!

Sue: What are you doing, Jeff?

Jeff: Oh, hi, Sue. I’m collecting marbles for our group.

Sue: What group?

Jeff: Well, the Marble Collector’s Guild, of course.

Sue: Of course.

Jeff: Do you have any marbles to give?

Sue: Well, no, but I would really like to help out in some way.

Jeff: You don’t have any marbles at all?

Sue: No, sorry. But I think I can get some!

Jeff: How can you get some?

Sue: My birthday is next month, and I could ask for marbles. That way, I can give them to you!

Jeff: You’d do that? You’d really give away all your birthday marbles?

Sue: Well, sure! After all, it is going to a good cause.

Jeff: A VERY good cause!

Sue: Let me see what my Mom says and I’ll let you know.

Sue exits stage right and Tim enters stage left.

Jeff: Marbles! Collecting marbles here!
Tim: Collecting what?
Jeff: Marbles, Tim. Can’t you hear?
Tim: Of course I can hear, but why ever are you collecting marbles?
Jeff: We’re gathering marbles for our Marble Collector’s Guild. Care to
donate?
Tim: Donate? Do you mean give? I’m supposed to give you something that’s
mine?
Jeff: That’s generally what donate means, yes!
Tim: Why would you think that I would just give up my prized marbles to
someone else? Even if it is a very good cause, I’ll have you know that I
worked very hard for my marbles!
