Three fables from around the world are retold in this play-Aesop's Grasshopper and the Ants; Armadillos in the Road, an original Texas fable; and The Foolish Lion and the Clever Rabbit (from India). In the Grasshopper and the Ants, the grasshopper only wants to play all summer long but the busy ants know they have to gather food for their colony. While the grasshopper tries to disrupt their work, the ants stay focused and the grasshopper, when winter comes, learns a lesson about work. The teacher armadillo and her young students are on a field trip, moseying along. No one's in a hurry as they explore their surroundings but when the teacher shows them the road, she turns downright mean. The young armadillos learn why (no armadillos are hurt in the making of this play). In the final tale, a lion is terrorizing everyone. He's killing the animals for fun now and not just food. The clever rabbit thinks up a plan which will save the rest of the wildlife.
RUNNING TIME: 30 min.
CAST: 4 m. 4 f. 9 either
FLEXIBLE CAST: 17+
