(Daniel and Ezekiel find woodchuck in trap).
Ezekiel: Well Daniel I see that we have caught the woodchuck.
Daniel: What shall we do with him?
Ezekiel: I think that we should kill him.
Daniel: I think we should take him into the woods and let him go.
Ezekiel: Let us take the matter to father and let him settle it. (Go to father).
Daniel: Father, we have caught the woodchuck and we do not know what to do with him. We have brought the matter to you to settle. Ezekiel wants to kill him and I want to let him go.
Father: Well boys, we will hold a court. I will be the judge and you will be the lawyers. One defend the case and the other prosecute. Ezekiel you may speak first, you are the prosecutor.
Ezekiel: I think we should kill the woodchuck. If we let him go, he will be just as much trouble as ever, while if we kill him he can't eat any more cabbage and we can sell his skin for at least ten cents and small as that sum is it will help pay for some of the cabbage that he has eaten, so in either way he is of more value dead than alive.
Father: Very good, Ezekiel. Now Daniel we will hear from you.
