DICTIONARY

The curtain opened - a lone man stood

in the middle of the stage and held up a

big dictionary. He then opened it up. He

tapped the big book. Out fell dozens and

dozens of words. Out fell dozens and

dozens of people dressed as words and

shaped as what they were: pizza, mouse,

hammer, clarinet, knife, fork, spoon,

frog, fish, alligator, bear, poodle, a yoyo,

and they spilled off the stage and into the

audience. The slice of pizza yelled loudly

from halfway up the main aisle, “Love me!”

A six foot mouse - ran across the stage

and up the side aisle - then stopped to rub

against the hammer and the spoon.

Well, for that audience that night - a

dictionary was never the same again.
