(There is a sad pause.)  Harry: Oona, come here and sit down for a minute. (She goes and sits next to him.)  Harry: Oona, something happened to Nonny last night, he stepped on a beehive. (Oona starts to get worried.)  Oona: I told him not to tease those bees. Did he get stung? (Harry nods his head yes.)  Oona: Maybe I should go over and yell at him. Harry: No sweetheart, you can't. (Oona looks very worried.)  Oona: Why not? Harry: He was allergic to bees. (Oona is now extremely worried.)  Oona: He's okay isn't he? (Harry shakes his head no.

(Oone runs straight to his office.)  Dr. Clark: Oona, what's wrong sweetheart? Oona: I can't breathe, I'm suffocating. Dr. Clark: Oh, wait relax now, let me look, let me look, come up here and we'll have a look. (He lifts Oona up onto the bed.)  Oona: It hurts, it hurts so bad, make it stop. Dr. Clark: What hurts Oona? Oona: The bee stings! I can't breathe! (Scene: Oona's house)  (Harry and Marty bring Nonny's body into the house on a stretcher. Miss. Jenny goes upstairs to bring food to Oona. Oona is in her room curled up like a ball.)  Miss. Jenny: Oona? I'm leaving some food for you by the door, in case you get hungry. (Oona stays how she is. The doorbell rings. Miss. Jenny answers it to find Molly.)  Miss. Jenny: Hi. Molly: Hi, is Oona home? Miss. Jenny: Yes she is, but she's very upset, so she's not seeing anyone. Molly: Oh, I'm Molly, I go to school with her, I wanted to tell her I'm sorry about Nonny. Miss. Jenny: Well maybe she'll feel better in a couple of days. Molly: Will you tell her I came by? Miss.

Jenny: Stop hiding Harry, you run Harry. When I first came here, the idea of working with dead people, didn't exactly thrill me, but when I saw a family lived here, I thought, "if I'm living without a family, at least I can work with one, and maybe once in a while I'll be invited in for supper." Harry: Yeah, and when those suppers are disrupted because there's a car crash, or there's a fire, or a little boy steps on a beehive. Miss. Jenny: I'm not asking you to stop feeling for those people. But life isn't just death Harry, don't ignore the living, especially your daughter. (Marty comes in.)  Marty: Excuse me Harry, Miss. Jenny, the minister's about to begin. Harry: Thank you Marty. (Miss. Jenny leaves.)  (Scene: Funeral room)  (Pronto goes up to the front.)  Pronto: We are here to honor Nonny Pirruccello. He was born, May 7 1961, in Madison, Pennsylvania, and he was survived by his loving parents, Charles and Susan Pirruccello...... (Oona slowly makes her way out of her bedroom.)  Pronto: The family has asked me to say a few words before we proceed. No words that I could say, would begin to describe the loss and grieving, one word that keeps ringing in my ear is Why?. Why would God choose to take this little boy from us? I can't give you an answer to that question, but I can tell you that God has chosen Nonny for some very specialreason, we must find solace in knowing that Nonny is now in God's care. In that face, there is no sorrow such as... (Oona is now on the stairs slowly going down. She stops on a stair where she can see Nonny's body in the coffin and she starts to cry. She slowly goes to the funeral room.)  Pronto: ....disciples began to chastise them, and Jesus said "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  (He sees Oona come in and walk up to the front of the room.)  Pronto: He laid his hands on their heads before he left that place, let us pray in silence.  (Oona makes her way up to the coffin and speaks to Nonny's dead body as she is crying. Nonny's eyes are closed. He isn't wearing his googles and there are bee stings on his face.)  Oona (crying): Wanna go tree climbing Nonny? His face hurts, and where is his googles? He can't see without his googles! Put his googles on!  (Harry and Miss. Jenny notice and try to pull her away.)  Oona (is crying hard): Put on his googles! He was gonna be an acrobat!

(Oona pulls out the photo from under her pillow.)  Oona: I found this. Harry: I forgot about that picture, where did you find it? Oona: In the garage. Harry: Ahh, that little Chevy was your mother's favorite car. Oona: What was my mama like? Harry: She was pretty, and kind, she had your eyes. Oh boy did she love to laugh. Sometimes when you laugh, you sound just like her. Oona: Really? Harry: Uh huh. You know what your mother did when she found out she was gonna have you? She came home and painted this whole room pink. She was so sure she was gonna have a little girl. Oona: Do you miss her? Harry: Yes, I did, very much for a long time, and even now, I get a little sad when I think of a pretty flower or a sunset that your mother would have liked. Oona: I think every time I see a climbing tree I'll think of Nonny. Harry: That's good, memories are good sweetheart. Oona, I'm sorry; I was trying to keep it from you, I just couldn't. You're a good girl, and I want you to be happy; don't be an old grump like me. (Oona puts the picture under her pillow. Harry kisses her goodnight and gets up to leave.)  Harry: Seeya in the morning.

Mrs. Pirruccello is walking by and sees Harry. She knocks on the window. Harry notices and goes outside to talk to her.)  Harry: Mrs. Pirruccello, how are you doing? Mrs. Pirruccello: Some days I think i'll be okay, others, well I have to force myself even to get out of bed, I know it's crazy, but sometimes I think he's just away at summer camp. How's Oona? Harry: Oh she's doing much better. Ahh she's just inside. (He walks to the entrance.)  Harry (calling): Oona! (Oona hears and comes outside.)  Oona: Mrs. Pirruccello. (She runs over and hugs Mrs. Pirruccello.)  Mrs. Pirruccello: Oona. I've been wanting to come over to see you. (She reaches into her purse and pulls out Oona's mood ring.)  Mrs. Pirruccello: Nonny had this on him, I thought you might like to have it. (Oona puts on the mood ring. There is something different about it. Instead of black, the ring is blue!)  Mrs. Pirruccello: You were such a good friend to him, I hope you'll still come by and visit me. Oona: I will, I promise. (Mrs. Pirruccello looks at Harry like she is saying good-bye and turns to go.)  Oona: Mrs. Pirruccello.

(She turns around and goes home.)  (Scene: Summer writing class)  (Mr. Grouper is teaching his last class.)  Mr. Grouper (reading): Encased in talent, like a uniform, the rank of every poet, is well known. They can amaze us like a thunderstorm, or die so young, or live for years alone. My advice to you on our last class, be a thunderstorm. Martin: What exactly do you mean by that? Mr. Grouper: I mean, be dangerous  (At the back of the room, Oona enters. Her purple hair is now straight down in the back instead of pigtails and she is holding her poem.)  Mr. Grouper: And unpredictable. And make a lot of noise. (He notices Oona is there.)  Mr. Grouper: Oona. (The crabs, lobsters, and snails hug her.)  Martin: Hey, we missed you man! Gimme a hug! (They hug and Oona goes to the front of the room by Mr. Grouper.)  Mr. Grouper: I was hoping you'd stop by today. (Oona and Mr. Grouper hug.)  Oona: I can't stay, I just came to read my poem. Mr. Grouper: We'd love to hear it. (Oona looks at her paper and starts to read.)  Oona (reading): Weeping willow with your tears running down, Why do you always weep and frown, Is it because he left you one day, Is it because he could not stay, On your branches he would swing, Do you long for the happiness that they would bring, He found shelter in your shade, He thought his laughter would never fade, Weeping willow stop your tears, There is something to calm your fears, You think death as if you forever part, But I know he'll always be in your heart. (There is a long pause as everyone sinks it in. It is silent.)  (Scene: Outside the school)  (Oona leaves the school and finds Molly who is waiting for her.)  Oona: Hi Molly. Molly: Hi Oona. (They both get their bikes and ride away from the school.)  Oona (thoughts): Things are a little better these days; I finally swallowed that chicken bone, Mollyy and I are gonna be in the same home room and the republican party just re-nominated Mr. Nixon. (Oona and Molly ride their bikes down the street and into the town. Oona has found a new best friend and her life is better.)  The End!
