Monologue
You have climbed a beanstalk but now, up in the clouds, you miss his home life more and more. You begin to question your decision to climb this large strange plant and worry how you will ever get down. You speak to a black crow. (American accent (if you can) and lots of energy).
Don't poke my eyes out! I'm not one of those sisters! I'm not - wait! Don't leave! I'm sorry - I'm getting a little, I'm a little anxious up here. By myself. But don't leave. I don't know if you can tell, but, I-I-I'm kind of a little bit stuck up here, and...I don't want to be alone.
(pause)
See, I didn't...really...think that I'd make it this far up. Although, I've always been a bit of a climber. When I was nine months old, my mom found me sitting on top of the brown cow in the barn one morning. I never considered myself afraid of heights before, but it's not really the climbing up that scares me. It's the getting down, Black Crow...It seemed so easy getting here - just put one foot on the branch then another and...Oh. I've tried going down already. I put my foot on a branch, but it's slippery now. See? It's like the sludge at the bottom of the pig trough, And you do not want be climbing down from the clouds on pig sludge! I'd fly off and land down there in a broken bone pile. PLEASE GET ME DOWN!
