The scene depicts the wagon interior, filled with household possessions, weathered by travel, with mud-encrusted wheels and patched holes. As afternoon shadows fall, Bart Manning lifts a rocking chair while his brother Phil sits with a small bird, revealing tension between hurrying to move and caring for a creature in

Elephant\n\nSCENE  \nIn front of the Mannings'covered wagon,somewhere along the trail to California in thelong trek of '49.  \nThe back of the wagon is turned toward theaudience and the interior can only be seenwhen a hanging patchwork quilt,serving tokeep out the cold,is pushed aside.It is filledwith the household possessions of a typicalpioneer family on the move.  \nThe wagon wheels are encrusted with mudand seem badly worn.Also,the canvas cover-ing of the wagon is badly weathered and thereare two or three patched up holes along thesides.  \nThe time of day is afternoon and shadows arebeginning to fall across the rugged foothills inback of the wagon.  \nAs the curtain rises,BART MANNING,a serious-faced boy of sixteen,tall for his age,is liftingan old-fashioned wooden rocking chair fromthe wagon.  \nHis brother,PHIL,(fourteen)rather chubbyand lazy-looking,sits on the ground,nursinga small bird in his hand.He is looking at it,absorbed.  \nBART.(putting the rocking chair on the ground)Phil.PHIL.What?  \nBART.You got to help me lift out this trunk now.It'spowerful heavy.  \nPHIL.All right.(But he doesn't get up.)This little bird’sgot a broken leg,Bart.  \nBART.I know it has.If you stop handling it an'put it inyour hat to keep warm,I'll make a splint fer it,likeMaw ...(His lower lip trembles a bit.He chokesup;turns quickly away.)Come on,can't you?  \nPHIL.(still not moving)Aw ...what's the hurry?  \nBART.What's the hurry?My stars,I guess you oughterknow!Paw's aimin'to git started.You heard him.None of us want to stay around here,no more,an'wegot to find a place with good grass an'water,aforenight.Come on,now!  \nPHIL.That place where Maw was first took sick ...that was a good place,seein'as how we're goin'back.  \nBART.Way back there?That's too far,for one poor half-lame ox to pull afore night.  \nPHIL.Hey,Bart,look!The little critter's opened his eyes.He's goin'to git well,I think.  \nBART.I haven't time to look at sick birds,an'you haven'teither.Come on,now.","cbCaic4vJCX66WwD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic4vJCX66WwD","pdf",1350950,"English","# Scene\n## Setting and wagon interior\n## Bart and Phil with the bird","[{\"question\":\"Where does the
