Le Moo: I don’t know.

  Red T: Quick, let’s count the loot and get out of here…

  Le Moo: Okay, one for me and ……oh dear, that’s all the money….

  Red T: (Jumping up) You…..you are a dirty thief!

  Le Moo: Your point being?

  Red T: I’m having the stick! (Snatches the staff)

  Le Moo: No way! My Gang, my stick!

  Red T: Get your own stick , you big bully!

  Le Moo: (Grabbing the stick) I am the great Le Moo, and I order you to….

  (The dragon’s roar sounds again..louder and much closer)

  Red T: What is that?

  Le Moo: I don’t know, but it’s getting closer….

  Red T: I changed my mind, boss, you can have the stick!

  (The Red Toadstool drops the stick , scoops up her few coins and runs off)

  Le Moo: (Triumphantly) Aha! Once again the great Le Moo triumphs!

  I get the cash AND the stick! Truly I am the great and terrible….

  (The dragons roar sounds deafeningly. Le Moo whirls round to look out front… a wash of red light and plumes of smoke envelop the stage)

  Le Moo: (In terror) Oh no! ….Keep back! …….I have a stick…….you cannot harm me….I am the great and terrible Le Mooooooo…….

  (His last words are drowned out by the sound of flames. Blackout)

  Spotlight picks up Lester.

  LESTER:

  Don’t mess with a dragon

  Don’t put them to the test

  ‘cos if it ever comes to that

  You’re always second best!

  Don’t aggravate a dragon

  ‘Cos dragons are no joke

  And You’ll end up a pile of cinders

  And a little plume of smoke

  So please don’t vex that dragon

  Don’t go playing silly games

  Or you’ll feel a warm sensation

  As your bum goes up in flames

  So don’t ever…

  Never ever……

  Absolutely….

  Positively…..

  Never

  Mess

  With

  A Dragon….
