Notes
"It's my wife. She's gone crazy she's going to eat me" (act very panicked) "Very well I will
help you but first you must bring me a bucket of water." "What, she's going to eat me and
you want water?"

"Yes"
"Okay, okay"
The old man searched around and found a bucket to get some water from the well. He took
it to the woman who pulled out a ladle from her pocket and dipped it into the water.
(Mime all this out).
"AAhh yes. Very good. Now I will help you"

In the distance the sound of the skeleton lady was very close "I want meat. I'm going to eat
you!" (Attack audience)
The woman stood on the edge of the gorge and stamped her feet into the ground. Then she
reached out and stretched (say this word long and slowly as you stretch out) to the other
side and grabbed onto a tree. "Now you may cross."

The old man walked carefully across the lady's back (mime this) and reached the other
side. Then the woman let go and PING went right back to the other side. She returned to
her house.
Just then the skeleton lady arrived at the gorge. "I will get you my husband. I will eat you.
I want Meat!"

She banged on the door of the house. "Yes. Can I help you?"
"You are too skinny to eat. You will help me cross the gorge."
"Very well I will help you but first you must bring me a drink of water."
"Help me now or I'll eat you anyway."

"Okay, Okay."
With that the woman stood on the side of the gorge and stamped her feet into the ground.
She stretched across and grabbed onto the tree. The old woman began to run across.

"I want meat. I will eat you."
When she was halfway across the woman let go and PING went back to the start.
" I want meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......" (fade off and then crash to ground) CRASH
The skeleton lady fell to ground and shattered to a million pieces.

(Say next part of story very slowly and quietly)
Now I said that I said that this happened not too long ago and not too far away. It is said
that there is a little bit of magic in each piece of the skeleton lady's bone and that one day
they will join together and come in search of ....."MEAT" (jump and attack audience then
end"
