The Fisherman
Props needed: 2 buckets, one fishing pole,
Players: Fisherman, 4 people, Narrator
The Scene set-up: Leader sits on bucket, holding pole, making like he is fishing.
Narrator: announces that the scene takes place on a frozen lake. The sitting leader is obviously a successful fisherman, because of the fish that he has in his other bucket.
First Leader: (Walks on) Wow! Look at all of the fish! What’s your secret? Etc., etc…
Fisherman mumbles a reply but doesn’t open mouth… first leader says can’t understand reply… while first leader is trying to get fisherman to say something, second leader walks on, and goes through the ‘Wow… What’s your secret?’ routine…. Fisherman mumbles a reply, but still doesn’t open mouth. Continue this until all of the leaders are on stage, with all leaders commenting on ‘What’s your secret?’…. Once all of the leaders are on stage, everyone starts to get angry at fisherman for not replying in a way that they can understand.., etc., etc.
Finally, fisherman cups hands under his mouth, and goes, “PATOEE!!!”, and says something like: "You have to keep the worms warm!"
