    Readers Chorus: Flock of Sheep

    This version of the old tale, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, may be read and
    performed by a combination of ages and/or reading levels. Because the
    Flock of Sheep may consist of as many sheep as you'd like to include, you
    might use a whole kindergarten class for the Sheep Readers Chorus lines,
    then assign individual solo reading parts to the appropriate readers of
    varying ages.

    Simple costume pieces and/or props, creative gestures, and use of facial
    expressions work well with this script and will help define each character.

    Narrator: There once lived a shepherd boy who tended sheep out in
    the sun.

    Shepherd Boy: Oh gee, I'm bored. I wish I could have some fun.

    Narrator: The sun looked down into the sheep pasture and felt sorry
    for the boy. She called to him

    com
    com
    Sun: Hello there shepherd boy! What am I going to do with
    you? The day has just begun and you are already

    unhappy.

    Shepherd Boy: I need to have a little fun! I think it's time, don't you?

    Narrator: Even the sheep thought it might be time for a little fun.
    They stopped chewing, nodded their heads, and chanted.

    Sheep 1: Baah, baah, Yes it is.


    Time to have some fun!
    So tell us, shepherd, what to do.
    We're sheep, so we don't have a clue.
    But we are glad to follow you.
    It's time to have some fun!

    Shepherd Boy: I know! Let's play a joke on the village folk. We'll pretend
    to see a wolf and cry for help. When the villagers come
    running to help us, we'll all laugh ourselves silly.

    Sheep 2: Baah, baah! Great Idea. Time to have some fun!

    Narrator: A wise goatherd was sitting with his goats nearby. After
    he heard what had been said, he walked over to the sheep
    pasture.

    Goatherd: Excuse me, I am a wise goatherd and I have something to


    tell you.
    com
    Narrator: The goatherd cleared his throat and recited a poem.

    Goatherd: We all have fun in different ways,


    Each Penny, Pat, or Paul.
    What's fun for one and fun for some,
    May not be fun for all.

    Sun: That is a very wise poem, indeed.

    Narrator: But the boy wasn't listening. He quickly herded his sheep
    to the other end of the pasture.

    Shepherd Boy: Attention sheep! It is time to have some fun.

    Sheep 3: Baah, baah, Yes it is.


    Time to have some fun!
    So tell us, shepherd, what to do.
    We're sheep, so we don't have a clue.
    But we are glad to follow you.
    It's time to have some fun!

    Narrator: The boy cupped his hands to his mouth and cried out:

    Shepherd Boy: Wolf, wolf! The wolf is near. I need help, I fear!

    Sheep 1: Baah. Help! The wolf is near. We need help right here!

    com
    Narrator: The village folk heard the cry and ran to the pasture.

    Villager 1: Where's the wolf? I'll give him what for!

    Villager 2: Where's the wolf? I'll give him some more!

    Villager 3: Where's the wolf? I'll declare war!

    Villager 4: I'll just kick him out the door!

    Narrator: The shepherd boy fell to the ground laughing.

    Shepherd Boy: Ha. Now that was fun! You've put on quite a show.

    Sheep 2: But village folk, it was a joke.

    Shepherd Boy: It was a joke, you know.

    Narrator: The villagers where very angry.

    Villager 1: If he pulls that joke again, I'll give him what for!

    Villager 2: If he pulls that joke again, I'll give him some more!

    Villager 3: If he pulls that joke again, I'll declare war!

    Villager 4: I'll just kick him out the door!

    com
    Narrator: The shepherd boy and his sheep laughed and laughed and
    laughed. When the villagers had all gone home, the
    goatherd climbed to the top of a high rock, looked down
    on the pasture, and loudly called:

    Goatherd: We all have fun in different ways,


    Each Penny, Pat, or Paul.
    What's fun for one and fun for some,
    May not be fun for all.

    Sun: That is a very wise poem, indeed.

    Narrator: But the boy wasn't listening.

    Shepherd Boy: Sheep, it's time to have some more fun.

    Sheep 3: Baah, baah, Yes it is.


    Time to have some fun!
    So tell us, shepherd, what to do.
    We're sheep, so we don't have a clue.
    But we are glad to follow you.
    It's time to have some fun!

    Narrator: The boy cupped his hands to his mouth and cried out:

    Shepherd Boy: Wolf, wolf! The wolf is near. I need help, I fear!

    com
    Sheep 2: Baah. Help! The wolf is near. We need help right here!

    Narrator: The village folk heard the cry and ran to the

    pasture.

    Villager 1: Where's the wolf? I'll give him what for!

    Villager 2: Where's the wolf? I'll give him some

    more! Villager 3: Where's the wolf? I'll declare war!

    Villager 4: I'll just kick him out the door!

    Narrator: The shepherd boy fell to the ground laughing.

    Shepherd Boy: Ha. Now that was fun. You've put on quite a

    show. Sheep: But village folk, it's still a joke.

    Shepherd Boy: It's still a joke, you know.

    Narrator: The village folk were now very very angry.

    Villager 1: If he pulls that joke again, I'll give him

    what

    for!

    Villager 2: If he pulls that joke again, I'll give him some more!
