Dear Diary,
I have never (NEVER) been angrier at Ms. Stripes than I am right now. She told us who was cast in which role for the Thanksgiving pageant. And guess what I am? The lead? Noooo! The supporting actress? Noooo! I don’t even have any LINES. Why is that? Because I’m a tree! A tree! Cowabelle, on the other hand, is the lead. She gets to dress up like a pilgrim and sing and dance and do all sorts of other things. Meanwhile, I get to get splinters from my costume. I cannot believe Ms. Stripes! She is so unfair. And you know what she said, when I went up to her after class and asked her why I was a tree? “Roberta, it’s important that you learn to share the spotlight. You can’t ALWAYS be the lead, you know.” And I said “But Cowabelle has been the lead a lot as well. Why does SHE get to do it again now?” And Mrs. Stripes just said something about Cowabelle suiting the part, and for the Christmas pageant maybe I could have a more prominent role.
Know what? I’m not even going to be IN the Thanksgiving pageant. This tree is on strike.
- Roberta
Come on.It is not that bad.Trees are beautiful.Especially in fall.And do not be such a bad example for the little kids.(I have 5 younger sibligs.)It is life.
Roberta, you can be a tree, or, with permission, you can be a TREE. Your a very crafty person, put a couple of birds nests and a squirrel or two in your tree. Instead of complaining make something of your tree. jennifer
Actually, that is kinda unfair. they should edit the script to include more roles, even small ones. at least give everyone one moment to shine. That way, when the parents come and watch, all of them will be proud of their kid. you cant exactly do a ‘great job’ if you stand there in a tree costume looking bored. they can make trees out of cardboard, and give everyone a chance to have a turn in the spotlight. ~*&crayola$mouse&*~
WOW! Roberta is kind of stuborn…
Aw that’s not very nice of Ms. Stripes! ~CC~
Roberta, trees are important too. Unless you want every single ‘non-important role’ on the scenery painted instead. Why don’t you discuss this with Cowabelle and work out a compromise?
Roberta, even a tree is an important role in a play! Don’t be mad! You don’t always get what you want. You have to learn that every part in the play matters. ;) ~Stealthy
Seriously… at least your not a lake… I was a lake once D: Just a drop of the lake too. They’re were like 30 other people who were “pieces” of the lake too.
That happens to me alot so I can relate Roberta but I know you want it and its unfair but it is life.
I like trees.
Geez Roberta CHILL!!! How Would Mrs.Stripes EVEN KNOW That Cowabelle Was The Lead In Lots Of Other Plays!?!?!? **~**Sonici**~**
Maybe Cowabelle is just the better actress
Hey webkinzisawsome i would not say that. You don’t always know who is best at what. Roberta seems like a good girl to be in the play.S
LOL I love how Roberta said “This tree is on strike.”. If it were me, I would’ve immediately offered for backstage or something. ~*Star*~
I’d like to be a tree.
That is amazing! I love Fluttershy so much!
I love that line too! LOL I can’t wait to see how this turns out! ~~Mockingjay*
Have any of you witnessed the tantrums Cowabelle has thrown in the past for not getting her way? Excuse me for yelling, but I think Roberta deserves to be on strike. She doesn’t have to be a main character, but a tree? You can make a tree out of papier mache!
Cowabelle is mayor of Kinzville.
I thin Ms. Stripes is kissing up to Mrs. Cowaline. Maybe that is why Cowabelle got the lead.
Bandit and Becky are right! You CAN make a tree. Mrs. Stripes is OVIOUSLY is kissing up to the principal! Mrs Stripes (I’m sorry, Mrs. Meany) has no holiday spirit! I am so mad! :evil: I am creating a petition to help Roberta become a suporting actress! and the tree she will be blaying will be made of cardboard! Cowabelle has been lead so much and I think it is unfair for Roberta to not get any lines. So that is why the petition is being made! Don’t be such a sowerpuss Mrs. Stripes! Violetpompomkitty >^..^<
I would want to be a tree. I like trees too and I dislike being the lead part.
Sure, trees are great and all, but yeah. When you are in a play or in this case a Thanksgiving pageant, and you don’t get the part you want nor a good part, you aren’t exactly happy about it. I know the feeling.
Seriously, why can’t they use cardboard props for your play instead?
WAIT!!!!!!!!!! Roberta, PLEASE don’t tell me that you have to go in a real tree! Sure, you can’t ALWAYS be the the spotlight, but why put ANYONE on stage dressed as a tree!?! Sorry. Just relax. HEY! Surprise everyone and when there’s a break in the other’s lines, be a talking tree!
