( it's a pretty spring day, Easter music.easter bunny enters hiding eggs. Starts to cross the bridge)

Bunny: Oh what a beautiful morning! The perfect day for an Easter egg hunt!

Nana: who's that trip trapping toward my bridge

Bunny: it is I, Richard the Easter bunny but there's no peeking now, I've got to hide my eggs

Nana: Why don't you come down here, there's a really good hiding place under this bridge. I'll show you.

Bunny: Oh cool, I'll be right down.

(Easter bunny goes under the bridge. Scream, crunch crunch crunch. Bunny ears are thrown onto the stage as Nana enters followed by Tim and Sim)

Nana: that was eggcellent.(bump)Did you see what I did there? I tricked him into coming to me.

Tim: Yeah Nana, nice job. Bunnies are pretty gullible.

Sim: Yeah. Hey did you know it's not possible to bob your head back and forth with your mouth open?

(Tim tries it)

Tim: I can do it!

Sim:speaking of gullible

Nana: hey! I'm trying to teach you something here, now pay attention

Tim and Sim: yes nana(sigh)

Nana: Now look here are some Visual aids(nana pulls out scroll of ways to catch people)

(Jim enters the room with a bowl of a Greek salad)

Jim: Now mom don't be pulling out these visual aids again.

Nana: someone has to teach these kids because you and your salad are bad influence to these young trolls

Jim I'm sorry for being myself (Jim storms out of the room with his salad)

Nana: Loser

Sim: Gosh Nana, isn't that kind of harsh?

Tim: Yeah, he's your own son.

Nana: And he's a disgrace. Whoever heard of a salad-eating troll? The family business has always been to man this bridge and eat whatever crosses it. Now to get back to teaching, here are some ways to trap animals crossing the bridge, for example there's the move I like to call "fly fishing".

Tim and sim: what's that?

Nana: You make them fly by pushing them off the bridge, then you fish them out of the water and eat them.

Tim: that's cool

Sim: tell us more

Nana: here's another one, it's called the slingshot. You need a big rubber band. And what you do is you fling a rock into it and stun it, then you eat it.

Tim: cool

Nana: I'm glad you think so. Kids, I'm counting on you to take over the family business when I'm gone, it doesn't look like I can count on your father.

Sim: But Nana, I kind of want to do something else with my life.

Tim: Me too, I don't want to be stuck to this bridge forever.

Nana: Hey! Listen here! If I had to do it, you can too! That's just the way it is!

Sim: But-

Nana: Buts are for goats, now let's get inside and wait for one.
