MOUNTAIN CLIMBING

HIGH ABOVE THE CLOUDS

Mimi and Baby, then Playful and Patches, then Indy, at the top are Bootsy and Tyke.

Tyke
Hey - I've reached the top !!! Hurry on up !!!

Indy
Oh, I don't know, Tyke. I'm so warm - all wrapped up in my blankie.

Bootsy
I can't believe you brought your blankie. That's so wimpy, Indy.

Mimi
Should I freshen up before I come up to the top?

Tyke
Freshen up? Goodness sakes, no.

Baby
What are we going to do up there?

Bootsy
Nothing. Just turn around and go back down.

Patches
But ... isn't there a mall or restaurant or ski hut or something?

Indy
Hahaha ... a shopping mall ... at the top ?
That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Mimi
You mean we climbed all this way, just to turn around and climb back down.

Tyke
Yes, isn't it thrilling. We're explorers who will tackle any challenge.

Playful
Maybe YOU are. Not me. I'm turning around and going back down.

Indy
Where's your red hat, Playful? You're so white, we can't see you unless you have your hat on.

Playful
I lost it and was going to get a new one at the top. If I get lost, it'll be all you boy's fault.
