Narrator:  Hello children, the world is a strange place full of wonderfully different people, all of us individuals with our own set of beliefs.

Now while nobody has the right to say who is right or who is wrong, there are some groups for take things past the point of reason ….

 

A Canadian goose is stood behind a table holding a megaphone, there are homemade banners pinned to the table with such slogans as “demand the truth”  and “Open your eyes, No more lies” on them, he has a box full of leaflets that he tries to give to people as they pass him.

 

Poppa Gander: (through the megaphone) open your eyes people, don’t be a Sheep!

 

Ronnie: (a passing ram)You what?

 

Poppa Gander: (megaphone) Sorry … Open your eyes, don’t be a … be a … don’t walk around blindly like a mole!

 

Morris .E: Oi I heard that!

 

Poppa Gander: (megaphone) oh yeah sorry …. Don’t believe their lies! The trees didn’t fall on their own! This is a cover up! You sir, what do you think?

 

Benny: Who me? Well I think that Cynthia is a bit of alright know what I mean?

 

Poppa: (confused putting the megaphone down) What? Who? I meant about the trees?

 

Benny: (looking up) Oh, um, well there is plenty of trees about bit more room would be nice really don’t you think?

 

Poppa: (through the megaphone right in Benny’s face) Aha! That’s what they want you to think!

 

Benny: (rubbing his ears) What the.. Can’t say that a bit louder could you? Me mate Barry didn’t hear you over at Marsh side.

 

Poppa: (putting the megaphone down again) Sorry I get a bit carried away with this thing

 

Benny: (grumpily) don’t you ever I have seen bands quieter than you, what do you want anyway?

 

Poppa: I want people to see the truth!

 

Benny: What that a few trees fell down in that storm we had?

 

Poppa: (mockingly) Oh yes that (makes speech marks with his wings) storm we had, that (speech marks) storm was never strong enough to fell trees, and even if it was, and believe me it wasn’t, they fell too neatly … both … BOTH in the same direction at the same time? It’s a cover up

 

Benny: They fell in the direction of the wind, funny that and what are (make speech marks with his hands) they covering up?

 

Poppa: Well if you read this leaflet, you’ll see that they are now planning on starting logging in the area.. You do know they moved (disgusted) Beavers in BEFORE the storm don’t you?

 

Benny: (excited) I know! There is one works down the waterhole, cracking lass

 

Poppa: coming here taking our jobs!

 

Benny: You’re mental you know that don’t you? You stand here, day in day out shouting your nonsense at people and for what?

 

Poppa: To spread the truth!

 

Benny: (angry rant) The truth? You have no idea, you get your knowledge from the internet off like minded simpletons who are backed up by other idiots, just because you all say it is so doesn’t mean it is. There is no they, I mean how vague is that term anyway? They say this they cover up that, they are busy I’ll give them that! I bet you even think the earth is flat

 

Poppa: (dead calm) You can’t prove its not

 

Benny: (even angrier) you’re a goose you have flown high enough to see the curvature of the globe!

 

Poppa: (dead calm) its an optical illusion

 

Benny: (shocked and sounding numb) I can’t speak to you anymore

 

Benny turns and storms off

 

Poppa: (through the megaphone) that’s it walk away, just because you are losing, you SHEEP! Baaa baaaa baaa

 

Ronnie: Right I’ve had enough of you pal, come ‘ere I’m going to batter ya

 

Ronnie pushes the wool on his arms up to his elbows revealing anchor tattoos on his forearms

 

Narrator: People are perfectly entitled to their opinions but you should always be open to different points of view, to follow blindly is the act of a fool but to go too far the other way and see hidden agendas in everything is equally foolish.

It’s a fine line children

 

Until next time take care you.

 

Poppa: Look at the violence inherent in the system!
