# The Very Cranky Bear ## Character: - Narrator 1 - Narrator 2 - Bear - Sheep - Lion - Zebra - Moose ## Story **Narrator 1**: In a big, green jungle on a cold and rainy day. **Narrator 2**: Four furry friends found the perfect place to play. **Moose**: Wow, it's raining cats and dogs out there! My big, beautiful antlers got all wet. **Lion**: I'm not sure what you saw falling from the sky, but I saw big fat raindrops - that's for sure! My golden mane is soaking wet. **Zebra**: I have never seen it rain this much. I'm surprised my awesome stripes didn't wash right off me. **Narrator 1**: Moose had antlers and Lion had a mane. **Narrator 2**: Zebra had awesome stripes and sheep... Well sheep was just plain. **Sheep**: I don't have big fancy features like my friends. I'm just plain. They call me Jane. Plain Jane. **Moose**: Let's play cards in this nice warm cave. **Lion**: Can we play Go Fish? **Narrator 1**: None of them noticed that someone else was there. **Narrator 2**: Sleeping in that cave was a very cranky... **Moose, Lion, Zebra & Sheep**: BEAR! **Bear**: Roar, ROAR, ROAR! **Narrator 1**: He showed his teeth and roared again. **Narrator 2**: And scared them out of his nice, warm den. **Bear**: So in the big, green jungle on that cold and rainy day, those four bothersome animals had nowhere warm to play. **Zebra**: Wait a minute! Maybe if we cheered that grumpy old bear up he'd let us back in the cave. **Sheep**: He looked pretty tired to me. **Zebra**: I know that if I didn't have my stripes, I'd be cranky too. That bear needs some stripes! **Sheep**: I think he needs a nap. **Moose**: Stripes are silly. What Mr. Crankypants needs are some antlers. My antlers always cheer me up and make me happy. **Sheep**: You guys know that bears sleep *all* winter, right? **Lion**: No, no, no, no, no. Stripes are silly and antlers are boring. A beautiful golden mane like mine is what Mr. Grumpybottom needs. **Sheep**: It's October. That means the bear wants to go to sleep for the winter. **Zebra**: Sheep what are you babbling about? **Sheep**: Never mind. This should be interesting. **Narrator 1**: So Zebra fetched some mud and lion some grass of gold. **Narrator 2**: And Moose got two big branches and… well… sheep just got cold. **Sheep**: They have no idea what they're getting into. **Moose**: Yoo hoo, grumpy old bear! **Zebra**: Hellooo000000 Mr. Crankypants! **Lion**: Bonjour Mr. Grumpybottom! **Narrator 1**: Sheep was getting worried. **Sheep**: Maybe they’ve been eaten? **Narrator 2**: But then, from the cave, came a very cranky… **Bear**: ROAR! **Narrator 1**: The animals ran out and the bear was right behind them. **Narrator 2**: They hid behind the bushes where they hoped he wouldn't find them. **Bear**: Look at me! I look ridiculous! I'm a bear, not a moozebrion! **Sheep**: I think he just made that word up. **Bear**: Yes I did! All I really want is a quiet place to sleep! **Sheep**: That's what I thought. **Bear**: You knew? Why didn't you tell your friends? **Sheep**: I tried, but they wouldn't listen to me. Wait right here, I have an idea. **Narrator 1**: So she found a pair of clippers and clipped off half her wool. **Narrator 2**: She stuffed it in a cotton bag until the bag was full. **Narrator 1**: She tip-toed back inside the cave. **Moose**: That sheep is really very brave. **Zebra**: Oh now I know what she was babbling about! **Lion**: What? **Zebra**: The bear is tired because he's going to hibernate for the winter! **Moose**: Why didn't she just tell us that? **Narrator 1**: Back inside the bear's cave the sheep bravely said… **Sheep**: Here you go Mr. Bear, a comfy pillow for your head. **Bear**: Well thank you very much, that's exactly what I need. You can all stay and play if you will just read. **Narrator 2**: So Moose, Zebra, Lion and Sheep… **Narrator 1**: Read the bear a bedtime story so he could fall asleep. **Moose, Zebra, Lion, Sheep**: The End. **Bear**: (snoring) Zzzzzzzzzzz.
