FRIEND 2
Look at all this wonderful food.
FRIEND 3
It’s much more than we need.
FRIEND 4
There has to be a way we can share.
JACK
(groaning) I wish I’d shared... I’ve eaten too much.
FRIEND 1
(holds up carrots) We’ve got loads of vegetables - we could send some of them to Africa!
ALL
(shaking heads) That won’t do.
FRIEND 1
Why not?
CHLOE
They’d be mouldy by the time they got there.
FRIEND 2
(holds up bread) We’ve got far too much bread - we could send some of that.
ALL
(shaking heads) That won’t do.

FRIEND 2
Why not?
MEGAN
It’d be stale by the time it got there.
FRIEND 3
(holds up biscuits) We’ve got loads of biscuits - we could send some of them.
ALL
(shaking heads) That won’t do.
FRIEND 3
Why not? They’d last the journey.
FRIEND 4
But it wouldn’t take long to eat them, and then they’d be gone.
JACK
(clutching tummy) Please stop talking about food!
FRIEND 1
(opening hands out) But we’re trying to find a way to share!
JACK
What about seeds?
ALL
(looking amazed at JACK’s idea) Seeds!
JACK
(encouraged) And we could help them buy tools to plant the seeds!
MEGAN
Good idea, Jack!
FRIEND 2
(to JACK) But they’d need water...
FRIEND 3
(nodding) To make the seeds grow.
JACK
(scratching head) Well... (opening hands out) well...
ALL
(puĴing thumbs up) Wells!
MEGAN
Another good idea, Jack!
CHLOE
There’s hope for you aĞer all! [MAIN CHARACTERS take seeds and tools to the THIRD WORLD children.]
