Isaac Newton Class Assembly - Extract

Enter Isaac, he sits down under an apple tree and starts writing in his note-book

Isaac

(He mumbles to himself as he writes. An apple drops from the tree and hits him on the head.)

Isaac

Ow! What was that? (He picks up the apple) Interesting... this apple fell from the tree, but why did it fall down instead of up?

Enter two farmers

Farmer 1

Is he talking to an apple?

Farmer 2

Looks like he is

Farmer 1

Maybe we should just quickly and quietly walk past.

Newton

How rude. Don't they recognise a genius at work when they see one?

Isaac spots the farmers

Isaac

Hi.

Farmer 2

Er. Hi.

Farmer 1

Yeah, hi. (They start walking quickly away).

Isaac

Wait! I've got it!

Farmer 2

(Whispers to Farmer 1) Whatever he's got, I don't want!

Isaac

The force that made this apple fall down must be the same force that keeps the planets in orbit around the sun.

Farmer 1

(Sounding sceptical) Sure.

Farmer 2

Right.
