| Shadow pools (timing moderate) |
|
All but two children create a mangrove forest by standing loosely around the pool leaving a windy path for the croc to enter through. |
| Mangrove mist (slow) |
|
The forest sings, 'Swiiish, swiiish.' and sways back and forth as if with the wind and waves. Then they go completely quiet. |
| Mud slide (abrupt) |
|
The croc actor tries to wiggle through the forest of mangrove legs on his stomach - down and into the pool - splashing and thrashing |
| Drifting log (slow) |
|
Croc actor then FLOATS completely quietly with EYES CLOSED and nose out of the water. The forest sings - swish, swish |
| Animal cries (make noises) |
|
Another actor holds an animal replica - perhaps a rubber ducky. Ducky is looking for crabs among the mangroves near the edge of the pool |
| Firey flicker (abrupt) |
|
The croc suddenly hears the noisey animal. It stays perfectly still but IT'S EYES FLY OPEN! |
| Lids snap (abrupt) |
|
Without moving the croc SHUTS IT'S EYES.
The Forest sings - swish, swish |
| Bubbles rise (slow) |
|
The croc sinks a little and blows bubbles under the water as it turns toward the noise |
| Squawk! (abrupt) |
|
The croc jumps up and grabs rubber ducky - rolls over and over and over until it is lying on it's back looking up |
| Crocodile smile (applause) |
|
With a big crocodile smile it rubs the tummy for all to see. |
