| "Why Mole Lives Underground" is a story about fox who dreams of going to the moon to catch juicy lizards to eat. Lazy Mole thinks there will be worms on the moon for him to eat, too, so he won't have to work hard at digging them out of the ground. Fox convinces Condor to fly up and attach a rope to the tip of the crescent moon for the animals to climb. As Fox and Mole begin to climb the rope, Mole finds out that climbing the moon is hard work, and he falls back to Earth. Fox works hard to make his dream come true and reaches the moon. Mole decides to stay on Earth and work hard digging for worms underground. That is why moles live underground. I loved the expression used during this performance! |

| "Pecos Bill and Sluefoot Sue" is about an American frontier cowboy named Pecos Bill who is a confident risk-taker able to survie the hardships of westward expansion. The story began when Bill was a baby and fell out of a covered wagon as his family crossed the Pecos River into Texas. He was rescued and raised by coyotes. Coyote and cowgirl Dixie tells the tale of how Pecos Bill met and then married Sluefoot Sue, the only person who could match Pecos Bill's riding and roping abilities. We had great costumes for this performance! |

| "How the Rhino Got Wrinkly Skin" is about Rhino who once had very smooth skin. He was vain and proud of his beautiful skin. He was also rude and not respectful. One time when Mongoose and Snake were helping Parsee bake a cake, Rhino ran through Parsee's camp and took the cake. Eventually, Parsee, Mongoose, and Snake got even. While Rhino was swimming without his skin, Mongoose, Snake, and Parsee poured cake crumbs inside Rhino's skin. When Rhino put his skin back on he was so itchy he scratched and scratched, which gave his skin wrinkles. Since then, rhinos have always had wrinkly skin. Great acting in this play! |
