JACKIE AND THE POTATO STALK

PART 6

(MAMA climbs to top of potato stalk with SPUD)

SPUD

Here they are.

MAMA

Jackie!

JACKIE

Mama!

                    (Runs to her)

I'm so sorry about the potatos.

MAMA

No, I'm sorry for being mad. These potatoes were magic.

SPUD

No one ever believes me.

JACK

Hey, you're that old guy who sold me those beans. I suppose you'll want a cut of my profits.

GOOSE

Honk.

                    (Lays an egg)

JACK

                    (Picks up egg and tosses it to SPUD)

Here. Keep the change.

SPUD

Too bad you aren't this nice to everyone.

JACK

It's my goose now so I get all the eggs.

MAMA

Is that you, Goosie?

JACKIE

Goosie?

MAMA

                    (Goes up and hugs GOOSE)

It is you!

JACK

This is your goose?

JACKIE

When did you have a goose, Mama?

MAMA

When I was a little girl, the old man sold my family a goose. It was a magic goose that...

GOOSE

Honk!

                    (Lays an egg)

MAMA

                    (Holds up egg)

...laid golden eggs!

SPUD

Told you so.

MAMA

But then a giant came and took it.

GIANT

It was not me. It was Uncle Smee. He was really bad. Sorry it made you mad.

MAMA

I never thought I'd see her again.

JACKIE

Looks like we found the owner.

JACK

                    (Runs to potato stalk)

Fine. Keep your goose but you'll never get to enjoy it. Because I'm climbing down and cutting this stalk down and trapping you here forever.

JACKIE AND THE POTATO STALK

PART 7

JACKIE

The guitar. Stop him!

GIANT

It won't play I'm afraid to say.

JACK

But if you give me the goose, then I won't cut it down.

MAMA

What a horrible little boy you are.

JACK

But I'm a horribly rich little boy too.

                    (Holds out hand)

Come little Goose. “With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.”

                    (Starts breathing heavily like Darth Vader and then coughs)

JACKIE

What’s wrong?

JACK

A little asthma. Sorry about that.

                    (Mad)

Now, get over here Goose or I'll destroy them all.

GOOSE

                    (Scared)

Honk.

JACK

Come with me. It's your destiny!

MAMA

Please, Goosie. Stay with me. We might be trapped here but I'll take care of you again.

JACK

I take care of her... sometimes.

GOOSE

                    (Shakes her head no)

Honk.

JACK

Fine. Stay here. I have enough gold to last a lifetime.

                    (JACK goes  toward potato stalk. Coughs and sneezes and moves away)

Oh, man. I think I'm allergic to potatoes.

                    (Goes near potato stalk again and sneezes. Moves away)

JACKIE

Looks like you're stuck here.

JACK

Got any allergy medicine?

GIANT

No, I don't have much to help you. Wait, maybe there's something I can do.

                    (GUITAR plays and JACK's sneezing stops)

SPUD

The magic guitar can make it all better.

JACK

It's great allergy medicine...

                    (Yawns)

Dang... allergy medicine always makes me sleepy.

                    (Sits down and falls asleep)

JACKIE

We did it. The goose is free.

MAMA

Would you like to come home with us?

GOOSE

                    (Happy)

Honk.

JACKIE

Is that okay?

GIANT

Of course that's what you should do. My family stole it from you.

JACKIE

Thank you.

MAMA

Let's go home, Goosie.

                    (GOOSE and MAMA go down potato stalk)

Jackie and the Potato Stalk Part 8 school play for children

JACKIE AND THE POTATO STALK

PART 8

JACKIE

It's so nice to see Mama happy again.

GIANT

And now I can see what will make my family happy.

JACKIE

What's that?

GIANT

A little talk with the boy of the stalk.

JACKIE

What will they do to him? They won't hurt him will they?

GIANT

When he was here before, he not only broke our door but made messes on our floor and damaged the décor. He will stay for a few days. He has some time he needs to repay.

JACKIE

And hopefully learn something in the process.

SPUD

And he won't be too happy when he gets home either.

JACKIE

Why not?

SPUD

There's nothing worse than rotten golden eggs. The boy never learned that the golden eggs are only good when fresh. The gold is only good if it is shared. If anyone keeps it too long, it rots.

JACKIE

Poor Jack.

SPUD

I feel worse for his neighbors.

JACKIE

I guess it's time to go home. And it will be a much happier one this time.

SPUD

Just remember to share those eggs.

JACKIE

I will.

                    (Gives an egg to the GIANT. They hug)

Goodbye my friend. I'm so glad I found those magic potatoes.

SPUD

Me too. Down the potato stalk with you.

GIANT

Come Jack into my home and I'll get the family on the phone.

                    (GIANT drags JACK into the casa and exits)

SPUD

And so Jack cleaned and cleaned until the Ranch in the Clouds was as good as before he came and stole the goose. The giant family then returned him home where he had another mess to clean up. And Jackie and her Mama found new happiness with the Goose and the golden eggs and that happiness spread through the town as eggs were shared with all. I’m glad I gave Jackie those magic potatoes. After Jack and the beans, I wasn’t so sure I wanted to try that again. But this time the magic found a girl who had a good heart. Perhaps I will try again. Anyone want to trade for some magic broccoli?
