Raven and Octopus
Woman

Narrative: That pesky Raven, he thought he was so cool, dressed all in black. Whenever anyone tried to tell him anything, he just croaked "I know," and didn't really listen to what was being said.
One day Raven was at the ocean and as the tide went out a rock appeared off shore. Octopus Woman sat on the rock and began waving to Raven with her many arms and calling out to him in her sexy voice.

OW      "Oh, Raven, you're so black and beautiful."
R         "I know!"
OW     "Come out to my rock so I can admire you."
R         "I don't know."
OW     "Oh Raven, you're so dark and handsome."
R         "I know!"
OW     "You must be hungry. Come out to my rock for dinner."
Narrative: Now there were two things that Raven couldn't resist: flattery and food. He liked to be admired and he was hungry, so he flew out to visit Octopus Woman on her rock. She began praising him in her sexy voice and embracing him with her many arms.
OW     "My, what a fancy crest you have, Raven. It's a warrior's plume."
R        "I know!" he said, puffing up his crest.
All      "And Octopus Woman embraced him with arm number one. Watch out, Raven, use your                  head. Keep bein' stuck up, trouble ahead!"
OW     "My, what a pretty tail you have Raven. It's like a fine fan."
R         "I know! he said, giving his tail a flick.
All       "And Octopus Woman embraced him with arm number two. Watch out!"
OW     "My, what dainty feet you have Raven. They're like a dancer's."
R         "I know!" he said, doing a few fancy steps.
All       "And Octopus Woman embraced him with arm number three. Watch out!"
OW     "My, what bright eyes you have,Raven. They're gleaming amber."
R         "I know! he said, blinkling hls eyes a few tlmes.
All       "And Octopus Woman embraced him with arm number four. Watch out!"

R       "I know! he said, beating his wings.
All      "And Octopus Woman embraced him with arm number six. Watch out!"

Narrative: Despite all the flattery, Raven was getting anxious. He couldn't move now that Octopus Woman had all eight arms around him. It was getting cold as the water rose higher and higher around them. Raven was getting more and more frlghtened and hungry.
R        "!'m hungry and you did invite me out for dinner."
OW    "Yes, I did."
R        "When are we going to eat?"
OW    "I'm going to eat soon, Raven."
R        "Well, when is dinner?"
OW    "Dinner is NOW! he said, squeezing him tightly. "Dinner is YOU, Raven!"
R        "I know, he said, sadly while going underwater. "Blub, blub, BLUB!"
All      "Poor ol', Raven, lost his head. Kept bein' stuckup, now he's dead.
