RUN-ONS

SHRINKING OIL
Utah National Parks Council

This would make a great two part Run-On.  Do the first scene and then later in the meeting do the second.  CD

Scene 1 –

Two boys are talking about muscle building.

One, proudly posing and flexing, is asked by the other how he developed such a great body. The first boy tells him the secret is to rub down with oil every night. The second boy decides that this is a good idea.

Scene 2 (maybe precede with a sign, the next day)

The next day both enter, with the second boy crawling on his knees. "I shrank!" he exclaims, "I thought you said it would work!"

"Well it does work for me. What kind of oil did you use?"

"Crisco."

"No wonder you shrank, that's shortening!"
