Cast:

Narrator: Sasha Farfel
Bear: Megan Griffin
Lion: Brenda Garcia

Narrator: Once upon a time there was only one bear and one lion living at a time and they lived for hundreds upon hundreds of years. One day the bear came across a piece of meat.

Bear: (Talking to himself). Time for dinner. Boy is I hungry! Look at this, a perfectly good piece of meat, just looking for someone to claim it. I guess this is my lucky day because I'm gonna claim it.

Lion: (Jumps out of bushes). Hey! Put that down! That belongs to me! I killed that animal, so I get to eat it!

Narrator: The Lion was furious, and obviously very hungry. So the bear, not wanting a fight climbed up the nearby tree, still holding the meat. But the lion wasn't going to give up that easily so she climbed the tree after the bear. And what we call the "great fight" began.

Bear: Finders keepers, losers weepers.

Lion: Give that back!

Bear: No!

Lion: That is mine and you know it!

Bear: It's mine now

Lion: It was mine first!

Bear: See you're agreeing with me, that was past tense!

Lion: Stop fiddling with my words.

Hours later: Carry a sign across stage that says Hours Later.

Narrator: The fight raged on. It started out just for a piece of meat. But it ended with a topic much different then the one it started with.

Bear: Stop that I never said anything about your mother!

Lion: You made fun of my bathing habits!

Bear: Stops fighting and looks at the ground, and sees all of the branches broken off of the tree. Oh my Gosh! Look what we did to this tree!

Lion: Looks.

Narrator: And suddenly the branches magically turned into human babies.

Lion: What are we going to do with them?

Bear: Take care of them I guess. It's our fault they're here anyway.

Lion: I guess you're right. I'll take care of half of them, and you take care of the other half. But there isn't enough room here for all of the children to grow up.

Bear: Then we'll move. I'll move to the forest

Lion: And I'll go live in the Savannah.

Narrator: And so they moved. But the children grew to be totally different, because they were raised by two totally different animals, not just different in appearances but with different values. The bear was more loving, but also poorer. So the children grew up to be kind, not very wealthy people. The lion on the other hand was strong, bold, and very wealthy, but very proud, sometimes too proud. So the babies grew to be just like her. As time passed the two groups got mixed. But you can still see the original qualities of the bear and the lion reflected in the people of today.
