[Sister and Lizzy pretend that they are playing pretend school. That is, pretend first grade. As Lizzy --who pretends to be the first grade teacher-- teaches the alphabet to the pretend preschool class, the pretend school pointer Lizzy has is revealed to be a stick or twig. Echoed from the book, Lizzy she had a pointer stick in one hand and a piece of chalk in the other.]
Please be seated Sister. It's time for your lessons. First, I'm going to teach you the alphabet. The first letter of the alphabet is "A".
[Lizzy --with the piece of chalk in the right hand-- writes a capital "A" on the pretend chalk board. That is, as she --in the left hand-- holds the pointer stick. Before she can ask the class if any of them know what the second letter of the alphabet is, Sister --pretending to be one of her "pretend students"-- interrupts Lizzy --who is the "pretend teacher"-- wants to have the pointer and be the teacher.]
Now just a minute! Who said you were going to be the teacher?! When I play school, I'm the teacher! And not only that! I already know the alphabet!
[to Sister] Sister Bear, if you don't sit down this minute, I'm going to keep you after school!
Is that so? [poking with her finger on Lizzy's belly] Well, if you don't give me that pointer, I'm going to keep you after school!
OH NO YOU'RE NOT!
OH YES, I AM!
[Sister grabs the pointer from Lizzy. They both wrestle for the pointer stick. All of a sudden, the stick snaps in half. Then the scene turns to Sister and Lizzy. And they each have a half of the stick --as Sister had broken it.]
NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID! YOU BROKE MY POINTER! (AND IT IS TOTALED!)
[That is what Lizzy says to Sister after Sister broke and totaled her pointer. In fact, Sister broke --and totaled-- it beyond repair.]
HERE! KEEP YOUR OLD POINTER!
[Sister throws the pointer stick down in front of Lizzy's feet.]
I'M NEVER GOING TO PLAY WITH YOU AGAIN!
NEVER IS TOO SHORT FOR ME!
GOOD! THEN I AM GOING TO TAKE MY DOLLS AND GO HOME!
Sister's mad, and I'm glad!
Lizzy-Lizzy in a tizzy!
Sister's mad, and I'm glad!
Lizzy-Lizzy in a tizzy!
Back so soon?
I'm never going to play with that Lizzy Bruin again! She's much too braggy and bossy!
