A Sparrow Story
(Jessica is sitting at an outdoor restaurant, absorbed in the latest issue of Librarians Monthly. Solies silently takes the next table. Suddenly, he scatters popcorn over her table.)
Jessica: "What the...?"
(Jessica is immediately attacked by sparrows. Solies runs off into the bushes.)
Solies: "See? They're all hitting her in the head."
Lexie: "Great! So now we get all the... um... say, what are we getting out of this?"
Solies: "I thought you might ask. That's why I wrote it down on this piece of paper." (reading) "Milk, eggs, baking soda, and chocolate chips."
Lexie: "That's my grocery list, you clod! I was going to make cookies."
Solies: "Oh yum! Let's go have some now."
Lexie: "Okay."
(Solies and Lexie leave. Jessica is covered with birds.)
Jessica: "SOLIES!"
