Mark walks onto the stage, with MORK.
Both Mark and MORK are wearing jungle hats. Mark is holding a map and wearing a backpack.
MORK: (grumbling to the audience) Aiyah.
Mark is too engrossed in the map. MORK clearly turns her head and stares at Mark.
MORK: (clears her throat loudly and starts tapping her toes) AI-YAH.
Mark shows no response. MORK glares at him.
MORK: (gives a huge exasperated sigh) AI-YAH!!! MARK, I THINK WE ARE LOST.
Mark just turns the map upside-down, oblivious to MORK's loud sighings.
MORK turns and pulls Mark's ear. Mark grimaces and makes a pained expression with his face.
Mark: Hey! Ouch! MORK, that hurts!
MORK: Hey Mark! Which part of LOST don't you understand?
Mark: Eh! LOST? I didn't watch that show!
MORK: No, No, NO! I mean we are LOST HERE. Haven't you figured that out?
Mark: Eh, we're lost? Nooooo... we're not lost, we're just not where we're supposed to be!
MORK: (snaps at Mark) Right. Then where are we supposed to be then, Mr Smarty?
Mark holds his chin thoughtfully with his right hand. He peers carefully at the map with the other hand. He thinks silently for ten seconds.
Mark: (thoughtfully) I think we're not on Earth.
MORK: I think your brain is not on Earth!!! How can we not be on Earth?
Mark: Eh? But this place doesn't look like anything on Earth, don't you realise?
MORK: (screams) What? How can that be?
Mark: Well… for starters, my compass is spinning like crazy.
MORK: (speechless)
Mark: (points to the sky) And then, since when did the night sky have more than one moon?
MORK turns and looks at the sky. She stares wide-eyed. And then she screams.
MORK: OH NO! WHERE IS THIS PLACE? I SEE ZILLIONS AND ZILLIONS OF MOONS IN THE SKY!!! AHH!!!
She runs around Mark like a headless chicken.
Mark: Hey MORK, relaaaax!
MORK: RELAX? WE'RE LOST, DON'T YOU GET IT?
Mark: Well... yeah, I guess we're lost. But! We could try walking around to see if we can find anyone to help us.
(Just then, Mark get distracted by a nice flower. He picks it up and sniffs it.)
MORK: Mark, what are you doing? We're lost, don't you know?
Mark: Well, our compass doesn't work.
MORK: Uh-huh? And then?
Mark: Yup.
MORK: Well, we gotta stop sniffing flowers and start finding our way back! We can't stay here forever! We're lost, and we don't know where we're going!
Mark: Aw. Just wait one day… It's such a nice night. Perfect for sleeping! I've always wanted to sleep under the stars.
MORK: YOU… YOU…
Suddenly, Ty-Ed Woman and La-Zee Woman come onto the scene. They walk very, very, very slowly. Ty-Ed Woman is holding a comfy pillow, and pushing La-Zee Woman on a trolley. La-Zee Woman is lazily fanning herself, and eating from a bag of potato chips. Around La-Zee Woman are some unopened bags of chips.
Ty-Ed Woman: *yawn* Hi! Are the two of you new around here?
MORK: Oh! Thank goodness. Mark, there's two ladies here who can help us!
Mark: Nice to meet you, ladies. I'm Mark, and this is my sister, MORK. You are…?
Ty-Ed Woman: I'm Ty-Ed Woman, and this is my sister…
She looks at La-Zee Woman, expecting her to give her name. But La-Zee Woman looks at her lazily, with a "you ask me, I ask who" expression.
Ty-Ed Woman: … La-Zee Woman! I'm sorry, my sis is too lazy to talk.
La-Zee Woman says nothing, but stuffs her mouth with more potato chips.
Ty-Ed Woman: Anyway, we're the Relaxed Rangers!
La-Zee Woman: (burps loudly)
<<Music: Theme song>>
Ty-Ed: (slowly, dreamily even) Oh, no more stress!
La-Zee: (lazy drawl) Oh, no more strain…
Ty-Ed: We bring you rest!
La-Zee: (lazy drawl) And play more games…
Ty-Ed & La-Zee: (simultaneously, sing-song style) Together, we make the world a happier place to be, to play your PSP… We are the Relaxed Rangers, here to save you from all stress and pain… (dramatic crescendo…)
Ty-Ed: No pain…
La-Zee: … is gain!
<<Music: End theme song here>>
La-Zee: (burps loudly and hands Ty-Ed Woman an unopened packet) Hey sis, can you open this packet for me?
Ty-Ed: I'm so tired. You open it yourself!
La-Zee: Aw. I can’t be bothered to! (she lazily tosses the packet aside)
Mark: Wow. I LIKE them. They're my heroes!
MORK: (grumbles) Whatever. I don't care who they are, as long as they can help us get out of here. (crossly) Hey! Ty-Ed and La-Zee, do you know how to get us out of here? We're tired, lost and hungry, and we want to get back home now!
Ty-Ed: Home? Where do you stay?
Mark: Singapore
Ty-Ed: Sing-some-more? (claps happily) Wow! I love to sing! Oh solo mio! Come hold me tight, my darling pillow…
MORK: NO, NO, NO! Singapore
Ty-Ed: Earth? What is Earth?
Mark: Erm… Earth is… a planet… actually, we just fell in from a golden door that we found on Pulau Ubin, you see.
La-Zee: Pulau Ubin? (looks at Ty-Ed Woman) Sis, can you help them?
Ty-Ed: Huh… I very tired leh. I want to sleep already.
La-Zee: Aiyah… *yawn* (she nods off and starts sleeping)
Ty-Ed: *yawn* Gosh. I feel so tired too. (she puts her pillow onto the ground and pats it) I think I'll take a nap first. Goodnight, Mark and Mork. (starts sleeping)
MORK: (speechless)
Mark: Well, I guess they're not that super after all.
<< Music: Action, exciting sound track >>
Suddenly, a big hairy gorilla (King Kong) ambushes them.
MORK: AHHHH!!!! Help! Help!
The Relaxed Rangers are woken up by MORK's screams. But too late! The hungry gorilla piles all of them onto the trolley. He grabs Mark with one hand, while he piles the ladies onto the trolley.
Gorilla jumps around and thumps his chest.
<<MM: YUM YUM. ROAARRR. I WANT TO EAT YOU ALL.>>
Ty-Ed: Uh-oh, we're in trouble!
MORK: Of course! I know we're in trouble! Save us! Aren't you supposed to be SUPERHEROES?
La-Zee: But that would be too much trouble! (burps again)
MORK: What? You don’t want to fight? You're going to let yourselves be eaten ALIVE by this awful ape (points at Gorilla)?
MORK: (turns and stares dramatically at the audience with hands on cheek) THIS… IS… MADNESS!!!
She turns around and starts pulling Mark away from King Kong with all her might.
Ty-Ed: La-Zee, MORK's right! We have to do something NOW or we'll be eaten up! (dramatic gesture of horror)
Ty-Ed jumps up, and joins MORK in pulling Mark away from King Kong.
La-Zee: Ok ok ok. I'M COMING!!! (burps again)
She gets up from the trolley slowly, scratches her back, stretches herself, yawns, - in short, she procrastinates. Finally, she rolls up her sleeves and walks over.
La-Zee: Eat me? EAT MY FIST!!!
<<MM: Show powerpoints with the subtitles: POW! BISH! KABOOM! TER-BAH-BOM! OINK! MOO! QUACK!>>
<<Music: Dramatic battle music>>
She starts pommelling King Kong like a punching bag, yelling like Bruce Lee, while the others pull Mark with all their might.
After a few seconds of intense struggle, King Kong roars in defeat and lets go of Mark. He runs away with his hands on his head.
Everyone is exhausted.
Finally, Mark speaks.
Mark: (breathlessly) Whoa. Awesome. Thank. You. Ladies. You. Saved. My. Life.
Ty-Ed: No, no, (she points to Mork) thank MORK . If not for her, we wouldn't have done anything to save you!
La-Zee: Not to mention being eaten up like a banana. (burps again)
Mark: Talking about bananas… I feel hungry.
La-Zee: (quickly offers an unopened bag of chips) Help yourselves to my snacks! Wait! I open the bag for you first. (smiles sweetly)
Mark: Wow! Thank you, La-Zee!
Ty-Ed: Wow, sis! That's the FIRST time you've ever opened your own snacks!
La-Zee: (embarrassed smile) Uh. Sure. It feels good to actually work for my own food.
Mark: (rubs his tummy) So, talking about food, I don't suppose we have to start looking for more food? Where can we find a place to sleep first?
Ty-Ed: Now that you say so, Mark, our home is over those hills there. Come stay with us for a while, and we'll try to help you get back home.
MORK: Really? Yay! Thank you so much, Ty-Ed and La-Zee!!! (hugs Ty-Ed and La-Zee in delight)
Ty-Ed: Hey, don't call me Ty-Ed - I'm tired of my old name! From now on… (dramatic pause) call me Energy Lady! (does a star-jump)
La-Zee: Call me Lively Lady! (does a bouncy kick)
Energy & Lively: (together)
WE ARE THE READY RANGERS!
We're always ready for any dangers!
Anything you need us to do,
we'll work hard to make it come true!
MORK: Ooh! Your new names are SO MUCH BETTER!
Lively: Thank you! Come sit on our trolley - we'll give you a lift!
All the four go offstage.

[END OF PART ONE]
Learning Point: Be Purposeful with Hardwork
Part 2: Be Wise With God’s Word
(Topic: Bible)
(Topic: Bible)
Proplist for Part 2
- Two haversacks
- Torchlight
- Pair of big shoes (so that Dr Wong can wear right shoe on left foot and vice-versa)
- 2 Bibles (big enough for the kids to see)
Mark: Hong Teck
MORK: Wan Yueh
Energy Lady: Soo Feng
Lively Lady: Joey
Dr Wong: Kelvin
Miss Led: Deborah
<<Lights: Dim – should be half the normal intensity>>
Energy and Lively are pushing Mark and MORK on the trolley. But they are going rather slowly, as it is uphill.
Energy and Lively act as though they are pushing a trolley uphill. They are very tired and exhausted.
MORK: Oh dear! Are you two ok?
Energy: Well, you see... our home's beyond the hills... (points far ahead)
Lively: ... (palm up high) so we have to go HIGH into the hills...
Energy: ...(palm down low) so we're feeling a bit LOW on energy, you see.
MORK: Oh dear, you poor things! Let us help you two then.
Mark: What, "us"?
MORK: Yes... YOU TOO! (pulls Mark's ear) Help us push, lazybones!
Mark: Ouch! Ok! Sorry sorry ladies...
All four start pushing the trolley uphill. (All to mime as though they really are pushing uphill.)
Mark: Say, there's not much light around here. I’ll turn on my little torchlight.
Mark turns on his torchlight and shows it to the audience.
Energy: As long as we stick to this narrow road, we'll be fine.
Lively: That’s right! There's plenty of light, and it's safe to travel too - what else could you ask for?
MORK: (tiredly) How about it going DOWNhill instead of UPhill?
Suddenly, a man and a woman come on stage together.
Mark shines his torchlight at them.
Man: Hello, strangers! From where do you come, and to where are you going?
<<Music: Prepare to do drumroll>>
Mark: Well, I'm Mark, and this is my sister, MORK. And these are the <<Music: drumroll>> The Ready Rangers!
Dr Wong: (sticks out chest pompously) Oh. That's nice... I'm Dr Wong, the world's smartest superhero and this is my lovely assistant, Miss Led. Miss Led, over to you!
Miss Led: (chattily) Oh dear! You poor poor things! You all look so tired and sweaty... is the trolley very heavy? Oooh!
She sashays over to Mark and pats him on the shoulder.
Miss Led: Oooh!!! Such a strong young man like you! Working so hard to help these poor ladies!
Mark sticks his chest out and stomach in. He grins proudly. But MORK is annoyed. She puts her hands on her hips.
MORK: (indignant) Well! That's not true, Miss Led! I had to PUSH that lazy Mark before he would help us push the trolley!
Miss Led: Ooooh! Fancy that! Such a wise woman! Ooooh! I tell you, we need more strong women like her! Oooooh! So tall, so graceful! Ooooooh! So slim and elegant...
MORK blushes and grins.
Miss Led: (turns to audience) Ooooh! I really don't know what I'm going to do without the world's smartest superhero (oooh!) - Dr Wong! Oooh! He's the RIGHT MAN for me, I tell you! Ooooh!
Lively to Energy: (rolls up her sleeves) The next time she says, "Oooh!", I'll give her something to OOOOOOOH about! (flexes her biceps threateningly )
Energy to Lively: Wait first! Let’s see how things turns out. Let’s be ALERT and READY!
Dr Wong pompously strides up to the Ready Rangers.
Dr Wong: (haughtily) The Ready Rangers, I preeeee-sume? Well, you don’t have to push this trolley uphill! I know a MUCH easier way!
Energy and Lively: (eyes wide open) Ooooh! You mean we don't have to push this trolley uphill anymore?
Dr Wong: Yes, that's correct! Come follow me, and I'll show you the EASIER way! No ERP some more!
Mork steps out.
MORK: Wait! Dr Wong! How do we know that you;re not wrong?
Dr Wong: (slaps his chest boastfully) Elementary, my dear MORK! I am never wrong... because my name is WONG!
All roll their eyes and groan heavily, except Miss Led.
Miss Led: (clapping adoringly and gushingly) Oooooooooh! Brilliant! How wonderful! That's my Dr Wong for you - he's the world's smartest superhero! Oooooh! Aren't we all so cute? Especially you! (she pats Lively's cheeks) Oooh!
Lively to Miss Led: (angrily) Oooooh your head! I'm going to...
Energy to Lively: (pulls Lively back) Hold it, sis! I know they're irritating, but perhaps we should give Dr Wong and Miss Led a chance -
Mark: Uh... I hate to interrupt you guys, but I have a question.
Dr Wong: Yes, my dear Mark? Speak forth!
Mark: (looking at Dr Wong's shoes) If you're never wrong, how come you're wearing your right shoe on your left, and your left shoe on your right?
MORK: Whoa! Good question, Mark!
Miss Led: (clapping adoringly) Ooooh! Such a smart little boy! Oooh!
Dr Wong: (angrily) Quiet, Miss Led! Well, that is a most interesting question you have posed to me, Mr Mark. I, Mr Wong, am never wrong. You know how it is when you put on your right shoe onto your left foot? It fits very tightly, am I not right? And if it fits very tightly, then it means that my shoes will never fall off my feet, and therefore, I will never ever lose my shoes. So, I, Dr Wong, am never wrong. I always do everything correct. I am the world's smartest superhero! Got it?
Everyone oohs in surprise. They've never thought about it that way before.
Miss Led: (clapping worshipfully) Ooooh! That's my Dr Wong for you! He's so creative! So smart! Oooooh!
Dr Wong: Right! Everyone, follow me. See that wide gate? It opens out to a broad road. It is very easy to travel on!
Then Dr Wong sees Mark's torchlight.
Dr Wong: (condescendingly) My dear Mark, turn off your torchlight! Save your batteries. I know the way so well that I can find my way around here with my eyes closed. I, Dr Wong, am never wrong!
Mark: (obediently) Orh. Ok Sir. (turns off his torchlight)
The six of them turn around, away from the Ready Rangers' home, and follow Dr Wong downhill (all mime going downhill).
After a long while walking, somehow, they seem to be getting nowhere.
MORK: Hey Dr Wong! How much longer?
Dr Wong: Only five more minutes!
Mark: But you said five more minutes ONE HOUR AGO!
Dr Wong: Don't ask so many questions! I know the way!
Mark, MORK, Energy and Lively: (all yell together) ARE YOU SURE?
Dr Wong: (gives an exasperated dismissive wave of his hand) Of course! I'm sure!
Miss Led: (breathlessly) My deeeear Dr Wong! I believe in you totally! (starts singing) I will follow you... follow you wherever you may go... and near you I always will be... for nothing can keep me away...
Mark, Mork, Lively and Energy: (all makes a disgusted face) Eeeeww. Soooooo mushy.
Miss Led: Ooooh! Dr Wong is always correct! He will never mislead me! (suddenly sinks slowly into the ground - she fell into quicksand!)
<<Lights: Dim up and down for dramatic effect>>
<<Music: Horror soundtrack>>
Miss Led: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!! HELP ME! SAVE ME!!! I'M SINKING!!! Dr Wong!!! SAVE ME!!!
Dr Wong: OH NO! I WENT THE WRONG WAY
Energy: (sighs) Oh dear.
Lively: (grumpily) Grrrrrrrrrrrreat.
MORK: What do we do now?!
Energy: (barks to Lively) LIVELY! USE YOUR 'STONE' POWER NOW!
Lively: Okie, sis! (she does her best 'stoning' pose) SOLID! NOTHING CAN SHAKE ME! READY WHEN YOU ARE, SIS-TAH!
Energy: Ok! Everyone hold hands! Dr Wong, grab Miss Led!
All hold hands and link up quickly. Dr Wong is at the front, and he frantically grabs hold of Miss Led's flailing arms. (Miss Led is to mime being sucked away by the mud...)
Dr Wong: I'VE GOT HER! PULL! PULL!
Everyone pulls! And... Miss Led flies out of the quicksand onto the ground!
<<Music dies down>>
Miss Led: (blubbers and wails) BLLORRP! BLOOP!! BLARGH... Boo-hoo-hooo!
Dr Wong: Oh dear Miss Led! Are you all right? I'm so sorry...
Miss Led: (whacks him on the arm) YOU STUPID MAN! YOU MISLED ME AND EVERYONE ELSE!
Dr Wong: (sheepishly) I'm so sorry, my dear...
Miss Led: (wailing) Sorry isn't enough! I almost DIED! If not for our friends here... BOOHOOOHOOO...
MORK: (comfortingly) Oh dear... don't worry, Miss Led... we're so glad that you are all right.
Lively: (grunts) Sure. Well, Dr Wong, I think we know better now than to go your way. Come with us to our home, and we'll dry Miss Led up properly, ok?
Dr Wong: (does a grateful bow) Thank you so much, everyone, for saving Miss Led's life. We are really grateful to you. (pauses humbly) I made a mistake. Now, Ready Rangers, show us the right way, please!
Energy & Lively: No problem! Come on up, everyone, and let's get back home. Miss Led, we'll give you a lift.
Miss Led: (sniffling) Oooooh. Thank you soooo much... *sniff*
Mark to MORK: Gee, sis. I learnt something important from this experience. It says in the Bible, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it."
<<MM: Show verse "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.">>
MORK: (nods head vigorously) That's so true, bro!
Dr Wong: I think I want to always walk right now. I shall change my name to Dr Wright! "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death."
<<MM: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.">>
Miss Led: (claps adoringly) Oooooh! That's such a lovely name! Dr Wright! That name sounds so RIGHT! Can I change my name to Miss Prudent? (smiles sweetly at Dr Wright)
Dr Wright: That's a great name for you too, my dear!
MORK: Say! I remember! The Bible also says that God's Word is like a light. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."
Mark waves his torchlight around.
<<MM: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.">>
Energy: That's right! Because we didn't have light when we followed Dr Wong, Miss Led fell into the quicksand.
Dr Wright & Miss Prudent: Oh... now we see!
Mark: Wow! That's so cool, Ms Energy! Say, it's getting quite cold and stormy now. Doesn't it seem like a perfect time for telling <<Lights: turn lights off completely – the timing must be right!>> with Mark shining the torchlight underneath his chin GHOST STORIES???
Everyone: EEEK!

<<Lights: LIGHTS ARE ALL OFF.>>
[DARKNESS] Only the voices of the six can be heard.
MORK: Mark, you silly! You almost scared us to death!
Mark: (laughing) HAHAHA... it's so funny, scaring you all... (shines his torchlight underneath his face and whispers mysteriously) It was a dark and stormy night...
MORK: EEEK! STOP YOUR GHOST STORIES! I'M SCARED OF GHOSTS!
Miss Prudent: Ooooh! Lovely! Lovely! I love ghost stories!
MORK grabs Energy Lady's pillow and covers her ears.
Dr Wright: What mystifies me, though, Mark, is how did you manage to turn off all the lampposts so suddenly?
Mark: Huh? The lampposts are off? Oh! Yah! You're right, Dr Wright.
(silence, followed by a loud shocked exclamation)
Mark: BUT HOW DID THE LIGHTS TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN???
MORK and Miss Prudent: *SCREAM!* IT MUST BE A GHOST! EEEK!!! (they huddle together)
Lively: Scared of the dark! It's just a power failure, that's all.
Mark: Oooh! I see!
Lively: But do be careful of the dark... the cockroaches around here lurrrrve dark places.
Mark: EEEK! COCKROACHES? I HATE COCKROACHES! WHERE! WHERE!
Lively: Stop jumping! They don't crawl on the ground...
Mark: Whew! (wipes his forehead)
Lively: ... they FLY AROUND!!!
Mark: (crouches and moans in fear) OH NO...
<<MM: Play thunder effect.>>
<<MM: Display powerpoint with picture of a storm and the words: “BOOM! THUNDER!”>>
A loud clap of thunder is suddenly heard.
Energy screams!
Energy: THUNDER! I HATE THUNDER!
Lively: Awww! It's just thunder. Why're you so scared of a little noise?
<<Lights: Turn on and off very quickly!>>
<<MM: Play thunder sound>>
Then a bright flash of light appears!
Lively: SCREAM!!! LIGHTNING! AHHH!!!
Dr Wright: Wow. Everyone here seems to be scared of something. I'm just scared that we'll not be able to reach shelter before it rains!
Attention, ladies and gentlemen! Shall we move on now? It's only a short way from here to your home, ladies!
Energy and Lively: Dr Wright's right! Let's move on...
Miss Prudent: (shakily) Oooh! Let's be careful! It's dark! Ooooh, Marky, how much more battery power does your torch have?
Mark: (absent-mindedly) Battery power? Oh. Hmm. I'm not sure.
The torch light suddenly dims and dies out.
Mark: Oh. Now I'm sure.
Everyone groans loudly.
Suddenly, the howl of a strange creature is heard.
<<Music: Mysterious, creepy soundtrack>>
Fearful Dogman: AWOOOOOOOOOOO............ WHO ARE YOU....
Everyone does a shocked gasp.
And suddenly, the plantitive cry of another creature is heard too.
Scaredy-Catwoman: MEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW...... WHO HAS COME NOW?
Everyone gathers into a tight circle! They shuffle their feet together loudly. They breathe heavily and slowly into their microphones.
Fearful Dogman: (now comes nearer to the scared six) AWOOOOO...... WHO ARE YOU...
Scaredy-Catwoman: MEEEOWWW... WHO HAS COME NOW?
Fearful Dogman: AWWOOOOO...
Suddenly, the lights turn back on! We see a man wearing a dog suit (Creature #1), and a woman wearing a cat suit (Creature #2)!
Fearful Dogman: AWWWOO!!
Everyone: Hey! Who let the dog out!
Fearful Dogman: WOOF WOOFWOOF WOOF!
Mork steps out.
MORK: Just who and what are you two?
Scaredy-Catwoman: (leaps in front of Fearful Dogman and answers for her) Meeeeow! He Fearful Dogman! His bark worse than his bite!
Fearful Dogman: ARF! And I suppose you're so brave yourself, Scaredy-Catwoman!
Scaredy-Catwoman: (waves a claw) Meow! Dogman, don’t be so dogmatic!
Fearful Dogman: (jumps back in fear) Arroo! Don't be so catty, Scaredy-Catwoman!
MORK: (annoyed) HEY, HEY! What's happening here?
Dogman: (sing-song dramatic) Haven't you heard?!
Catwoman: (sing-song dramatic) Spread the word!
Dogman: Our land's full of fears
Catwoman: Everyone's full of tears!
Dogman: (fearful expression) Fears here, fears there
Catwoman: (scared look) Fears, fears everywhere!
Dogman: Danger's here, near and far
Catwoman: It'll find you, wherever you are!
Dogman & Catwoman: (together) Oooooooooo… It'll find you, wherever you are... near and far, wherever you arrrrrrrre…
Dogman: (mournfully) AWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo……
Mark: (shivers) I'm feeling REALLY scared now.
Dr Wright: Mr Dogman and Ms Catwoman, why are you two so scared?
Dogman: Arf! There's a Big Bad Wolf prowling around town. Awoooo!
Catwoman: Meow! Catwoman and Dogman can't find Big Bad Wolf!
Energy & Lively: Do you two need any help? We are the Ready Rangers! (strike a pose)
Dogman & Catwoman: Sure! Come with us!
So all everyone goes to look for the Big Bad Wolf.
Dogman and Catwoman: (singing) Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, the Big Bad Wolf, the Big Bad Wolf?
Suddenly, a cute little wolf cub jumps in front of them. (It can be a little soft toy... just throw in front of them!)
Dogman and Catwoman: AHHHHH!!!! THE BIG BAD WOLF!
They turn tail and run to hide behind the others, quivering with fear.
Dr Wright: (wryly) So THIS is the Big Bad Wolf.
MORK: Waaaaah! Sooooo cute! I want to hug him!
Miss Prudent: Ooooh! Hold it, MORK! Maybe he has rabies! Let me scan him first!
Miss Prudent carefully approach the little wolf cub.
Miss Prudent: (waves her hand over the wolf cub) Scanning… scanning... scanning... Oooh! He's clean! He's safe! You can hug him now!
MORK runs over in delight and cuddles the little puppy.
Dogman: (gushingly) Woof! Woof! BRAVE little girl! Woof! woof! (wags tail vigorously)
Catwoman: Meow! MORK can and MORK do. (licks his paw and curls up to take a nap)
MORK: (stroking the cub) Poor thing! I think it's lost. Shall we take care of it?
Dogman: NOO!!! IT LOOKS HUNGRY! IT COULD EAT US UP ALIVE! ARROOOOO...
Catwoman: Meow! Catwoman can't, and Catwoman won't.
Dr Wright strokes his chin thoughtfully. He then turns to address everyone.
Dr Wright: (Booms) Listen, my friends! It is true that we are scared of Big Bad Wolves. But it's the right thing to do, to take care of this little wolf until we help find a home for it.
<<MM: “Courage, my friends, is not the absence of fear. It is doing what is right in spite of fear.”>>
Dr Wright: (motions grandly with his hand) Courage, my friends, is not the absence of fear. It is doing what is right in spite of fear.
Everyone claps (except Dogman and Catwoman).
Miss Prudent: Ooooh! Well-said! Well-said!
Dogman: But I'm still scared! Arrroooo...
Catwoman: Meow-ow-ow... Catwoman scared and Catwoman can't.
Mark: Fearful Dogman and Scaredy-Catwoman! I want to encourage you! I remember reading in my Bible before, that God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
<<MM: “God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.”>>
MORK: Yeah! I remember that God has also promised to be with us always. He said, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
<<MM: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.">>
MORK: God has promised to be with us, to give us help to do what is good and right!
Dogman: Woof! That's GREAT GREAT GREAT NEWS! (wags his tail vigorously)
Catwoman: Meow! Jesus can and Jesus do! So Catwoman can and Catwoman do! (dances a happy dance)
Dogman and Catwoman: (together) Wait for us, guys! We're coming with you!

PART 4: Be Joyful With Service (Topic: Ministry)
Proplist for Part 4
- A few bags of chocolates for the kids
- Umbrella
- Fan
- One $10 note
- Some technical-looking remote control
<<Lights: All the lights are back on again.>>
MORK: It’s really dark here! It's good that we have Dogman and Catwoman to help us see the way. They can see so much better in the dark than anyone else!
Dogman: (sniffs the ground, then points towards the audience) Dr Wright, there is a village just ahead!
Dr Wright: Very well, people! Let's keep moving! Forward, march!
Miss Prudent: Oooh! Stay close together, everyone, it's VERY COLD and we don't want to get lost! Brrr!
Everyone gathers in the middle of the stage.
Then, Mark puts on an increasingly sad and sadder expression.
Energy: (concerned) Are you ok, Mark?
Mark: (sadly) I'm ok. I just feel more and more unhappy.
Energy: Oh dear! What happened?
Mark: See, Ms Energy, I'm carrying such a heavy backpack, and nobody has bothered to help me!
Energy: Huh? But everyone already has his or her own load to carry!
Lively: Yeah! Even I carry my own food now, you know. (munches on some more potato chips) BURP.
MORK: (angrily) Hey Lively! You never bother to share with us your food! All you do is eat, eat and EAT! You selfish pig!
Lively: (she stops munching) What did you just say?
MORK: You selfish pig!
Lively: Hey! That's not true! I may eat like a pig, but I'm not selfish! Don't you remember how many times I have shared my food with you all? So, get it right: I am not selfish!
Suddenly, SelfServing Woman and Selfish Man walk in.
[Maybe Selfish Man can dress up in a PCK-lookalike style... and SelfServing Woman in a "tai-tai" get-up...]
Selfish Man: Selfish? Did someone just call for me?
SelfServing Woman: Hey Selfish Man, don't bother about them. None of our business!
<<Music: Theme soundtrack>>
Selfish Man starts doing a silly dance with umbrella, looking at audience)
And SelfServing Woman starts doing a silly dance with fluttery fan, catwalks around, looking at audience with fluttery eyes.
Selfish Man: (sing-song)Life, just the way I want it to be, it's my own to lead...
SelfServing Woman: (sing-song) I take care of myself well, I've got everything I need!
Selfish Man: I couldn't care less if I make you cry...
SelfServing Woman: Life, just me, myself and I...
Selfish Man: I couldn't care less if you fall down and roll away
SelfServing Woman: What toys shall I buy for myself today?
Selfish Man: Think of myself only, that's my motto...
SelfServing Woman: Serve myself only, that's the way to go!
Selfish Man: I AM SELFISH MAN!
SelfServing Woman: I AM SELFSERVING WOMAN!
Mark suddenly rolls his eyes, faints and collapses onto the ground.
Everyone gathers around him. Except Selfish Man who sits down and plays on a PSP / handphone, and Selfish Woman, who takes out a fan and starts fanning herself.
MORK: Oh no! What happened to my brother!
Dr Wright: Everyone, don't gather so tight around him. Give him some breathing room. Let me check his pulse.
Everyone steps back.
Dr Wright feels his pulse.
Dr Wright: Oh dear. He has a fever! It seems he's also very weak.
Energy: I can revive him!
Dr Wright: How?
Energy: By transferring some of my SPECIAL ENERGY powers to him! HIYAAAAAH...
Energy unleashes a flurry of pokes and tickles onto Mark, poking him everywhere, especially where Mark is most ticklish...
Mark: (wakes up) Owowowoowowowowowowow!!! I AM NOT FACEBOOK! STOP POKING ME!
Everyone cheers and clap, (except for Selfish Man who is lost in his own world, playing a PSP game or something), and Self-Serving Woman who is just standing outside the group, fanning herself and reading a self-help book.
Miss Prudent: (clapping admiringly) Oooooh! How marvellous! How wonderful! Oooh! You saved his life!
Dr Wright kneels down and puts his hand on Mark's forehead.
Dr Wright: Mark, how do you feel now?
Mark: I feel... very, very hot. And I feel very unhappy too.
Dr Wright nods.
Dr Wright: You have a fever! Does anyone have a fan for Mark?
MORK: SelfServing Woman has a fan! Hey! Ms SelfServing, could you lend us your fan?
SelfServing Woman sticks her nose up in the air and ignores MORK.
MORK: (louder, with a tinge of annoyance) Ahem... Ms SelfServing, would you be so kind as to lend us your fan? My brother is sick!
SelfServing: (arrogantly) Right. None of my business. Why should I help your brother, if he can't even take care of himself? Lazy little bum, that's what he is!
MORK is incensed.
MORK: (furiously) WHAT? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?
Miss Prudent gently pulls MORK back.
Miss Prudent: Oooh! Patience, MORK! Let's stay calm. Perhaps if I ask nicely...
Miss Prudent sashays over to Ms SelfServing.
Miss Prudent: (sweetly, in a syrupy-sweet voice) Oooh! Ms Selfserving! We really do need to borrow your fan... wouldn't you be able to lend us?
Ms SelfServing: $10.
Miss Prudent: (puzzled) $10 for?
Ms SelfServing: $10 for every ten minutes of using the fan. (sticks palm out expectantly)
Miss Prudent: Oh my!... oooooh, that's quite... what if we BORROWED your fan?
Ms SelfServing: Right. And what if you spoil MY fan?
Miss Prudent: But, we won't!
Ms SelfServing: Right. Nowadays people are very careless. Especially those who don't pay.
Miss Prudent: Oooh! I'm always very careful! My name is Miss Prudent, you know!
Ms SelfServing: Right. And my name is Santa Claus. Look, Miss Prudent, I don't care what kind of fever your friend has. He catch fire also not my problem. You want to borrow my fan? Pay up first!
Miss Prudent sighs deeply and puts $10 into Ms SelfServing's hand.
Ms SelfServing: Remember, $10 for every ten minutes hor. Your ten minutes started two minutes ago.
Miss Prudent: WHAT?
Ms Selfserving: You argue with me for two minutes what. (looks at watch) Oh. Three minutes up already.
Miss Prudent angrily bites her lips, but restrains herself. She takes the fan, and turns around to kneel down and fan Mark.
Suddenly, Dogman and Catwoman run back through the audience back onto the stage.
They report to Dr Wright.
Dogman: Arf! Dr Wright! There are many starving people in the village! Arroooo...
Catwoman: Meow! Hungry people, very unhappy! And they become very angry too!
Dr Wright: Oh dear! That's terrible. Everyone, let's go down there and see how we can help them. Does anyone have any food to share with them?
Lively pulls out several packet of chocolates from somewhere (maybe can do it Doraemon-style - out of a little belly-pouch?).
Lively: (holds up a bag of chocs like giving a fish to a seal and smiles mischieviously) Yeah! It's FEEDING time, folks!
She opens up the bag, and starts tossing a few chocs from the stage to the front row.
But Lively starts huffing and puffing.
Dr Wright: There's simply too many people to feed! Everyone! Let’s join in together!
Everyone is to grab a small packet of chocolates each, including Selfish Man and Self-Serving Woman. However, since Mark is still sick, Miss Prudent is to sit and tend to Mark and fan him.
But before everyone can open the chocolates, Selfish Man starts running around, snatching all the chocolate bags, and tries to stuff them underneath his sweater.
<<Music: Action music>>
Selfish Man: I want all these chocolates for myself! (sticks tongue out at the rest) Nyahahaha...
He starts ripping open one of the packets. Everyone else looks at him in shock.
MORK: Hey! Selfish, what are you doing? These chocolates are meant for the starving villagers!
Selfish: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a chicken's feather. I'm hungry, and that's all that matters to me. Anyway... I think I shall go off now! BYE BYE!!!
He tries to grab his loot and run off, but Energy jumps in front of him.
Energy: Stop!
Lively: (like Gandalf in Lord of the Rings) YOU - SHALL - NOT - PASS!
Selfish spins around and tries to run in a different direction. Catwoman and Dogman pounce... and land behind Selfish.
Dogman: Woof! We missed!
Catwoman: Meow! We fail!
Selfish: BWAHAHAHAHA!
<<Music: turn down softer>>
Suddenly, King Kong (yes, our gorilla friend from Part 1!) makes a stage entrance.
He stomps each time he takes a step.
King Kong: ROAR ROAR UGH UGH..
<<MM: Translation: “FEE FI FIE FO FUM! I SMELL THE BREATH OF A GREEDY BUM!”>>
Selfish: HELP! HELP!
King Kong: (thumps chest and points at Selfish)
<<MM: Translation: FEE FI FIE FO FUM! KING KONG IS HUNGRY! YOU SMELL LIKE CHOCOLATE! I LOVE CHOCOLATE! YUM YUM!>>
Selfish tries to run away, but trips and fall! King Kong is about to jump on him, when Energy and Lively, the Ready Rangers, jump in front of King Kong, blocking King Kong from attacking Selfish Man.
<<Music: Battle
Energy & Lively: HALT! King Kong! We meet again!
King Kong: ROAR! I REMEMBER YOU TWO! I EAT CHOCOLATE MAN, AND THEN I EAT YOU TWO!
Energy grabs one of King Kong's arms, and Lively the other.
Lively: (yells) Eat me? EAT MY FIST!
Lively gives a powerful sucker punch to King Kong's stomach (ACT out the punch, please...).
KK: FEE FI FIE FO FUM! MY TUM!
Energy kicks KK's bum.
KK: FEE FI FIE FO FUM! MY BUM!
Energy and Lively high-five each other and they tickle KK!
KK: FEE FI FIE FO FUM! I WANT MY MUM! MUMMY!!!
KK spins around and throws the two superheroes off. (be careful, King Kong...)
Energy & Lively: SCREAM!!!
Then they fall to the ground.
KK then runs offstage moaning.
<<Music: Turn down to zero gradually now>>
Energy and Lively lie on the ground motionless.
Everyone, including Mark, get up and run over to them.
Dr Wright: (kneels and checks the two ladies) Our Ready Rangers ... they are NOT breathing!
Miss Prudent: Oh no! How are the two of you? Are you ok? Ooooh! You fought so hard! Don't leave us... Booo hoo hoo... Let me scan them! (waves her hand over the 2 Rangers) Scanning... scanning... scanning... OH NO! THEY ARE DEAD!
Selfserving Woman, who has been watching the two Rangers selflessly battle King Kong, suddenly speaks up.
SelfServing Woman: I can help.
Dr Wright: Oh! You can? How?!
SelfServing Woman: (marches over to Mark and grabs her fan back) With my fan!
MORK: Hey, Selfserving Woman, why are you so kind to us all of a sudden?
SelfServing Woman: (gently) I saw these two heroes lay down their lives to save their friend's life. How can I not be touched?
She flips her fan open, and then... fans the two bodies of Energy and Lively slowly, then faster and faster... then, STOP!
SelfServing: (calmly) It's done! They're alive again.
<<Music: play happy music>>
Energy and Lively get up and look around groggily.
Everyone jumps for joy!
Miss Prudent: OOOH!! THEY'RE ALIVE AGAIN!!! OOOOOH!!!
Dr Wright: Well! This is ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE!
Selfish Man crawls over to the two Rangers.
Selfish Man: Ladies... you put your lives at risk just to save me?
Selfish remains silent for a while. Then he gets up, and gathers all the spilt choc packets.
He then walks back to the two rangers.
Selfish Man: Thank you, Ready Rangers, for selflessly saving my life. I want to follow your example! From now on, I will no longer be Selfish Man - I will be SELFLESS Man!
SelfServing Woman: And I will be known as Server Woman!
Everyone claps and cheer!
Server Woman: Selfless Man, let's go forth and help pass the food around to the villagers!
The two of them grab a packet each, go out and pass the chocs along.
<<Music: Play happy song – same as the ending song for Part 1>>
Everyone else gets offstage and also help pass the goodies around.
After passing out the chocolates, Mark and MORK walk back onstage, with the rest in tow.
Mark: That was an AWESOME adventure, MORK!
MORK: Yeah! I learnt so many things too! What did you learn, Mark?
Mark: Erm... lemme think... chocolates taste good?
MORK: (pulls Mark's ear) You sillyhead! Let me share with you what we've learnt today:
1) To be purposeful in life and work hard.
2) To be wise by knowing the Bible
3) To be courageous by allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us
4) To serve others in the church
Mark: Oh I SEE! But I think you forgot one more thing.
MORK: And that is?
Mark: How do we get home? I think our Dad and Mum'll be worried sick about us!
Selfless Man steps up. He holds his special handphone/PSP up for all to see.
Selfless Man: Mark and MORK! I know how to get you back home! I invented a device just for you!
Mark & MORK: WOW! REALLY? HOW?
Selfless Man: As easy as ABC! A for Automatic, B for Bye-bye and C for Computer! The Automatic Bye-bye Computer has the unique ability to dynamically detect and configure the indexed photonic space of your biological configuration in accordance with the cosmological constant of spacetime...
MORK: Just get to the point, Selfless!
Selfless Man: Ok, sorry! It's easy. I just press a few buttons here... key in the hyperspace coordinates... the two of you move into the centre...
<<Lights: Turn up and down slowly, then faster and faster>>
Everyone, back, back, back! Mark, MORK, HOLD HANDS NOW! Close your eyes and spin around... Ready? Five, Four, Three, Two, One... ZERO! BYE BYE!
<<Lights: All the lights to go off>>
Everyone except Mark and MORK are to get off as quietly as possible from the stage.
Then when everyone disappears, turn on the lights.
<<Lights: Turn lights back on again>>
MORK: (holds head in hands) Gosh. I'm feeling dizzy! Where are we now, Mark?
Mark: (staggers a bit unsteadily) Gee. Let me see. Hey! This place looks like... Pulau Ubin again! My compass is working properly now! Let me check my handphone...
OH GOODY GOODY GUMDROPS! WE ARE BACK IN SINGAPORE
MORK: Really? Hooray! Let's look for Dad and Mum now!
The two of them run off the stage.
Wait about ten seconds.
Suddenly, Mark runs back onto the stage. He is looking for something he forgot!
Mark: (after looking around for a while, he slaps his forehead) Oh blow it! I've left my torch back in ... That Place.
[THE END]
Learning Point: Be Joyful With Service or To Serve
