 * __SCENE FOUR__**

//(lewis and clark have traveled in a circle and came back to the Prarie dog lands) (Clark stops lewis dead center of the land)//


 * Lewis:** Clark, why are there so many holes in the ground?


 * Clark:** This land looks like it is infeasted with animals. Look at those fat creatures running around. They have short legs and look really fuzzy.


 * Lewis:** Yes. I have never seen these things before. We need to capture one and send it back to President Jefferson!


 * Clark:** Now they may be startled by us, so don't say a word.


 * Lewis:** Okay.


 * Clark:** What did I just say? //(silence)//


 * Lewis:** (wishpering) How are we suppossed to catch those dog like animals? All i see is a river?


 * Clark:** Briliant! we can use our buckets of water and try to wash them out. ok here lets go to the river and fill up these bucketts.

//( They grab tons of buckets of water and dump them in their holes.)//


 * Lewis:** Nothings happening.


 * Clark:** Keep trying

//( After they are done, prarie dogs run out of their holes and start to run away. Lewis and Clark grab only one live one!)//


 * Clark:** This was a hard battle, but man conqures all!


 * Lewis:** Wow. We did it! It looks so interesting! We did good today! We discovered 3 more animals!


 * Clark:** Right! We are working at a great speed! If we keep working at this pace, all of the land will be conquered and we will discover a lot more animals and other things.


 * Lewis:** We make a great team Clark!


 * Clark:** Agreed, Lewis. Agreed! Now lets send 2 men back to Jefferson with the items we have discovered.

Later that day:
 * Lewis:** Yes. We can send back our bear skin and the prarie dog we captured alive in a box. Now lets call it a night.

//September 7, 1804// //"Caught one a live by poreing a great quantity of Water in his hole." —Meriwether Lewis

Lewis wasn't the only one with things to say on what happened that day//

"all the party, except the guard, went to it; and took with them all the Kettles and other vessels for holding water; in order to drive the animals out of their holes by pouring in water; but though they worked at the business till night, they only caught one of them."—Patrick Gass //(END SCENE)//
