Sower and the Seed4

Stone, Sunny and Wolf come on stage

Sunny: Hey Kermit, Miss Piggy, how's things here?

M Piggy: Well the weeds are winning and Kermit’s jokes aren’t.

Stone: Well for sure weeds are a pain.

Wolf: Worse still, with the weeds in our gardens we don’t get as many vegetables as what we should.

M Piggy: Weeds can do that?

Wolf: For sure. . . See there is only so much water, and only so much nutrients in the soil.

M Piggy: Nutrients? . . What’s that?

Wolf: Nutrients are the good stuff in the soil that feeds the plants. When there are too many weeds growing the good plants in the garden can’t get enough food to produce a good crop of corn.

M Piggy: Sick, so you mean that I won’t get any corn from my corn garden ‘cause I have weeds in the garden?
