Tom : Yes there are some symptoms for stomach trouble . Now I have to shout.
[ Then Tom started groaning . But after a few moments, his screams calmed down . ]
Tom : No. Nothing will happen by that . I have to find some strong symptoms.
[ Suddenly Tom put his one hand on his cheek . ]
Tom : Yes , I discovered something . One of my upper front teeth is loose . Oh …. I am feeling lucky . ……………. but ……………. but if Aunt Polly finds it out, she will remove the tooth. Then I have to get in a lot of pain . No , no , no , my strategies are not working .
[ Then Tom pulled his legs out from under the sheet and began to examine them thoroughly. ]
Tom : Yes , finally , ………….. My toe is paining awfully.
[ Then Tom started groaning and looking at Sid . But Sid slept on . No response comes from Sid . Tom started groaning more loudly . But Sid snored on , Tom becomes excited and disappointed . ]
Tom : Sid ………… Sid …………… Sid …………. ( Tom grabbed Sid and started shaking him ) …………. Sid ………….
[ This course worked well . Sid yawned , then raising himself on his elbow . He stared at Tom a few moments. In the other hand , Tom is continuing his groaning . ]
Sid : What happened Tom ?
[ Tom remained silent but continued his groaning .]
Sid : Tom , say Tom …………………. What’s the matter Tom ?
Tom ( moaned out ) : Oh , don’t Sid . Don’t shake me .
Sid : Why , what’s the matter Tom ? I must call auntie .
Tom : No , never mind . It will be over by and by , maybe . Don’t call anybody .
Sid : But I must ! Don’t groan . Tom , it’s awful . How long have you been this way ?
Tom : Hours . ouch ! Oh , don’t stir so , Sid . You will kill me .
Sid : Tom , why didn't you wake me sooner ? Oh , Tom you aren’t dying , are you ? Don’t Tom , oh don’t .
Tom : I forgive everybody , Sid . Tell them so .
[ Sid quickly got out of bed and ran off the stage ]
[ Aunt Polly and Mary are on stage. They are busy with normal household chores. Suddenly Sid ran and entered the stage. He is gasping . ]
Aunt Polly : Sid , what happened Sid ? Why are you gasping so much ?
Sid ( with gasping ) Oh , Aunt Polly , come ! Tom is dying !
Aunt Polly ( astonished ) : Dying !
Sid : Yes . Don’t wait , come quick .
Aunt Polly : What rubbish ! I don’t believe it .
Sid : Oh , Aunt Polly don’t waste the time , Tom is really dying !
Aunt Polly : What !
[ Aunt Polly's face shows that she is terrified. Mary's condition is the same. Then the three of them ran away from the stage . ]
SCENE : 3
[ The setting of this scene will be the same as the first scene. Tom is lying in bed screaming. At that moment, Aunt Polly , Sid and Mary - entered the stage . All three are panting and gasping . Impression of fear on everyone's face . ]
Aunt Polly ( reached the bedside of Tom and gasped out ) : Tom ! Tom , what’s the matter with you ?
Tom ( feebly ) : Oh , auntie I’m…………….
Aunt Polly : What is the matter with you child ?
Tom : Oh, auntie , my toe is paining .
[ Aunt Polly sank into a chair beside the bed . Then she laughed a little , then cried a little . ]
Aunt Polly : Tom , what a shock you did give me ! Now shut up the nonsense and get out of this .
[ The groaning of Tom ceased slowly . ]
Tom : My toe pain has vanished . But auntie !
Aunt Polly : What happened again?
Tom : Aunt Polly , how my tooth aches ! The pain is more than that in my toe .
Aunt Polly : Your tooth , indeed ! What’s the matter with your tooth ?
Tom : One of them is loose and it aches awfully .
Aunt Polly : Oh, my little dear , your tooth is loose but you are not going to die for that . So don’t begin that groaning again . Let’s take a look at your tooth !
[ Tom opened his mouth and Aunt Polly leaned over and saw the inside of Tom's mouth. ]
Aunt Polly : Mary , get me a silk thread .
Tom : Oh no , please auntie , don’t pull it out . It doesn’t hurt any more . Please auntie , I don’t want to stay home from school .
Aunt Polly ( surprised and smiled ) : So , Tom ! All this was because you wanted to stay home from school and go fishing ? ……………………….. Tom , I love you so much and you try to break my heart in every way with your naughtiness !
[ Mary entered the stage again and delivered the silk thread to Aunt Polly . Aunt Polly fastened one end of the silk thread to Tom’s tooth and the other to the bedpost . She pulled and the tooth hung dangling by the bedpost . ]
Aunt Polly : There ! Now you are free from all the aches . Isn’t it ?
[ Aunt Polly and Mary started smiling . Tom got out of bed. Looked at the audience. Then he started laughing too .]
