Why Ants Are Everywhere
Why Ants Are Everywhere
Characters: Ant, Ant Queen (with crown), Cat, King, Narrator
Narrator: Did you know that once ants only lived in a certain area? This is the story of why ants now live all over the world.
Ant: A feast! A feast to honor the King! And all creatures are invited! Oh, I want to go! I must hurry! (Ant crosses stage slowly)
Narrator: And so Ant hurried off to go to the feast. But he could not keep up with the other animals becuase he was so small. Soon he was left far behind.
Cat: Ant, come on! You are so slow! I’m not waiting for you, becuase if I do there won’t be any food left for me by the time we get there. (Cat exits stage)
Ant: I’m going as fast as I can. Save some of the cake for me, please?
Narrator: But Cat was gone, and didn’t hear ant’s plea. Soon, Ant arrived to the Palace. (King enter the stage)
King: Well, look who finally arrived! About time! What did you do, take a nap on the way? Everyone is just about ready to leave, and here you are just arriving!
Ant: I can’t help it if I’m small. I came as fast as I could... Is there any cake left?
King: Cake? Why, the cake was eaten up a long time ago. You are far too late for cake! Look in the trash for some cake crumbs, good enough for the likes of you!
Narrator: Ant sighed and dropped his head.
Ant: It was a very long trip for me. I’d better just start back right now.
Narrator: Ant turned and began the long journey home. (Ant travels across the stage, and exits) (Queen and Ant enter stage)
Narrator: When he got home Ant told the Queen Ant what had happened to him, and how the King and all the others had laughed at him.
Queen: Laughed at you? Well, we’ll see about that. I have a plan. Here is what we must do. First, call Worm. He can help us with this. (Worm enters stage)
Worm: You called, Your Majesty?
Queen: Yes Worm, we need your help. Ant was made fun of, and I have a plan to set the things straight.
Narrator: And she whispered in Worm’s ear.
Worm: Very good,
