      AUTHOR’S NOTE

      These short plays are suitable for teaching drama to children of 3 to 10 years old. The casts are few and may all be accommodated on a stage at the same time.

      The purpose of these plays is to stimulate the imagination of children to think beyond the ordinary. In the plays which include animals, a minimal production free of elaborate costumes may be possible. Each ‘animal’ cast may in this case hang a sign around the neck or wear a shirt with the animal’s name printed on it (e.g LION , ELEPHANT)

      (Roars. Stops at the cage and looks inside)

      What is this? It is a cage. Now, who would put such a silly thing here near the road? Wait a minute there is some food inside it. How lovely. I will steal the food before anyone comes here.

      (Enters the cage and eats the food. He finds that the cage is locked and he cannot go out again)

      The gate is locked. I can’t get out. It was a trap. Help! Help me someone! Help! I didn’t do anything! Help!

      ( USMAN, a farmer is walking down the road and stops by the cage)

      USMAN

      What is this? It is a cage; a steel gate. Oh, it has also got a LEOPARD trapped inside there too. Now that is very interesting.
