Maya and Iola's cowboy play


Scene 1: The bar owner and the cowboy. 
The desert. A cowboy (Iola) is riding through the sands on a wild horse. She arrives in a small town. The bar owner (Maya) greets her. 
Maya: Howdy, stranger. Get off your horse and drink your milk!
The cowboy dismounts from her horse. Her horse does not like it. 
Iola: Howdy!
Maya: Where are you going on such a fine day?
Iola: To the Sonoran desert. There are a lot of scorpions there, but I have found the largest scorpion ever.
Maya: Well you'd better be on your way then.
Iola: Can I have some baked beans and some more milk?
Maya (giving her the milk): Here you go. You'd better not go to those bars over there because they've got all those revolver things where they say: "PUT YOUR HAAANDS UP".


Scene 2: The ice cream van and the cowboys
Members of the audience are invited to ride horses alongside the cowboy as they make their way towards the Sonoran desert. 
Iola: The scorpions are dangerous! But I have got a lasso to round them up and catch them for my collection. I have got 18 already.
Audience member giggles uncontrollably. 
Maya (bar owner driving after cowboys in an ice cream van): Howdy there. Do y'all want some ice-cream?
Iola: I do not like ice cream, but my scorpions do.
Maya: Well, what type do they want?


Scene 3: The horse race
The bar owner gets out of her ice cream van and gets onto a horse. The horses start to race. They are wild. 
There are lots of shouts of "yee-haa" and "giddy up".
Suddenly, Maya and Iola fall off their horses. Mummy surrenders. 




THE END (until next time)

NOTE FROM MUMMY: Cowboys should always remember to eat lots of fruit and vegetables...... (whether you like it or not, Maya.... It's good for you. Just ask your grandparents.)
