The Mexican Jumping Bean Skit For Blue and Gold Banquet 2004 By Rebecca J. Carlson Two cub scouts and one leader on stage. The leader is wearing a large bean colored sleeping bag over his entire body. Cub 1- What's that? Cub 2- It's my trained bean. Cub 1- What does it do? Cub 2- I'll show you. Salta! (Translation: "Jump!" Pronounced: salt-ah) Bean-(Jumps) Cub 1- cool! Can I try it? Cub 2- Sure. Just tell the bean to jump. Cub 1- Jump! Come on bean, jump! Bean- (Stands still) Cub 2- No, no, no! You can't get it to jump that way. You have to talk to it in Spanish! It's a Mexican Jumping Bean. Cub 1- Oh! I get it. Salta! Bean- (jumping) Ole! Ole! (Bean stops jumping and leans over to talk to Cub 2, sounding worried) ¨Ahora que? (Translation: "What now?" Pronounced: a'ora kay) Cub 2- Nada. Es todo. (Translation: "Nothing. That's all." Pronounced: nah-dah, ess toh-doh) Bean- (nodding, relieved) SĄ, sĄ. (Translation: okay. Pronounced: see, see.) Cub 1- What was that all about? Cub 2- He asked me, "Now what?" and I told him, "Nothing, that's all." (Pats the bean comfortingly) He wasn't quite sure what to do next. He's kind of a green bean.
