Laughter is heard off stage as two small boys run on from stage right, the taller one chases the smaller one; up some scaffolding and onto the framework of a building. The taller one tackles the smaller one and they lie there laughing uncontrollably.
BOY 2(smaller): So the boy runs up to the girl and gives her the package. She says 'What have you brought me today?' and he says 'I brought you a fish who is in love with the sun.' and she –
BOY 1: Wait what? Fishes don't have feelings. And the sun isn't someone to fall in love with. You're supposed to fall in love with people.
BOY 2: Animals have feelings just like us, actually animals are quite feeling-full.
BOY 1: Okay keep telling me...
BOY 2: So she takes the fish and kisses it.
A voice is heard from stage left
VOICE (O.S): Boys it's time for lunch!
The boys scamper down the building and run off stage right
