Forbidden Fruit

by Adam Szymkowicz



(JACK and JILL and SNAKE in the garden.  JACK and JILL are not wearing a lot.)





SNAKE

So you gotta eat the fruit.



JACK

I don't want to eat the fruit.  I mean are there cookies.



JILL

Eat the fruit.



SNAKE

Eat it.



JILL

It's good for you.  Look.  I'm eating it too.



JACK

I know.  I just don't want to.



SNAKE

Eat it!



JILL

For once will you just make a better choice?  I'm tired of all the bad choices you make.



JACK

Fine.  Fine.  Look.  I'm eating it.  See?



JILL

It's good, right?



JACK

It's good.



SNAKE

I'll see you guys later.



(Exit SNAKE.)


JACK

Wait a minute.  Were we allowed to eat this fruit?



JILL

Why wouldn't be allowed to eat fruit.



JACK

I feel like someone told me something about the fruit over here.



JILL

Maybe.



JACK

I'm almost sure.



JILL

Do you feel different after eating it?



JACK

A little.  Like I know better that I don't know anything.



JILL

Harmless.



JACK

Are you cold?



JILL

A little.



JACK

We should put something on.



JILL

Okay.



JACK

You think we could get in trouble?  For eating it?



JILL

I know!   We'll write a note.  Take this down.



(JAKE gets paper and writes.)



JILL

This is just to say



We have eaten

The fruits

that were on

the tree



and which

we think we were probably

not supposed

to eat



Forgive us

They were pretty good

and we feel

only a little different



JACK

Good.  I'll put it under the rock.
