Meet Dorcas, and her best friend Denny. Denny's oldest teenage son is named Willey. He plays a practical birthday surprise joke on his mother, and Dorcas. Please enjoy everyone: Act one Scene one.

Dorcas: "I don't see why you wanted me to tag along and join this ladies' sewing group, Denny,

when you know I haven't any talent for sewing. I can barely thread a needle, you know I even told them so at so at Serenity Club, and the Ladies Missionary Society's sewing circle at our church.

Denny: "It's for a good cause, Dorcas, and I know you are interested in Lost Causes. It sez so right here, and it's perfectly clear: "Wanted ladies to volunteer for an important cause to sew doll clothes for cute little kittens who lost their mittens, and can't tell where to find them."

Dorcas: "Alright! I'm here aren't I. But this had better not be another one of your wild goose chases."

Denny: "Relax, my nervous friend. This is not another of my so-called dead ends." She parks her car, and reads the address that was in the paper: "This is 1313 Noman's Street, and we're in store for a real treat."

Narrator: Both ladies get out of Denny's car. Dorcas beats Denny to the front door, knocks on the door and finds no one to answer her knock, and then she tries the door knob several times.

Dorcas: Looking at her wrist watch. "The door's locked and it's 7 P.M., and I'll never listen to you, Denny, again! I'm supposed to be at a preservation meeting to help save our fine feathered birdy friends. And our bushy tailed animal friends!"

Denny: "Alright, Dorcas, I didn't come here for another one of our fights."

Narrator: While the ladies continue quarreling-suddenly the door opens! And the ladies run inside the room.

Dorcas: "It' dark in here, and I can't see a thing. Lets get otta here! I'm afraid of the dark!"

Narrator: Suddenly the motion lights turn on!

Denny: "This is sure a very sorry sight to see! It's my son's Willy's bedroom and it's very messy! As usual!

Narrator: Suddenly a pre recorded voice announces: "Happy Birthday mom! How do you do? The Jokes on the two of you!" And now readers please enjoy Act One Scene two

Narrator: Two weeks latter the ladies are talking about how the joke backfired on Willy!

Denny: "You will be pleased to know little-miss-know-it-all! I gave my son, Willy a dustpan, and a broom, and told him to clean-up his own messy bedroom!
