Monkito listens to crocodile meeting
MAKI

Be smart, play it safe!

ELPHI

Good slogan, Maki!

BINDU

What about the fire extinguisher?

ELPHI

I’m afraid that it was not properly charged! We will get some training from the fire department on how to use it. (T) But enough for the day, you may go now, children. Not you, Maki

MAKI

Yes, Miss Elphi?

ELPHI

(IN A WHISPER) Find Monkito and bring him here… wherever he is!

MAKI

Monkito, where were you? What were you doing?

MONKITO

I was in the jungle. Doing what a good reporter should do; investigating.

ELPHI

Investigating what?

MONKITO

Who lit the fire.

MAKI

Are you nuts?

MONKITO

It’s my duty as a school reporter! (T) And you know… I think I know who did it.

MAKI

(SUDDENLY CURIOUS) Who, who?

MONKITO

Crocki, the crocodile!
