Game description
In the town gardens, there is a statue with a lance in his hand. A park bench is in front of the statue. 2 boys remove the statue. As a tourist guide with a group nears the statue, one of the boys assumes the pose. The tourist guide tells the group a few interesting facts about the statue. The statue pulls some faces and some of the tourists faint. An artist comes along and wants to paint the statue. He sets up his easel and starts work. However the statue keeps changing its position. The artist soon leaves the scene in despair. A schoolboy with his lunchbox sits on the bench. The statue steals his sandwich as fast as lightning. The boy runs off crying. The next visitors to the memorial is a pair of lovers who want to make themselves comfortable on the bench. However the statue annoys one of them and then the other until they start arguing with each other and stalk off in different directions (quarrelling). (Other ideas are possible...). At the end, a cleaning lady comes along with a brush and bucket and starts to scrub the statue. She then throws the bucket of water over the statue who runs off screaming. The cleaning lady faints.
