I hope this is easy to read and funny. I would love comments on how to better the script style and storyline. I am planning on putting this on-stage in the near future.

(Scene opens with girl and her bird puppet sitting on a chair talking to each other.)
Marie- Hey there! My! Today is a fine day for finding some hints! (In walks Jimmy) Well hello stranger. Are you here to help us out?
Jimmy- Umm, no. I just wanted to know if I could use your phone. You see...
Purple- {bird noise}
Jimmy- Is that a puppet?
Marie- NO! He is real!
Jimmy- But he looks like a...
Marie- HE'S REAL!
Purple- {bird noise}
Jimmy- But you are moving your mouth to "speak" for him.
Purple- (Marie looks around and makes the noise through a small opening in her mouth) {bird noise}
Jimmy- Ok? As I was saying my car broke down and I needed to use your phone to call someone.
Marie- Well you can use the phone if you help us find the hints!
Jimmy- What hints?
Marie- Purple's hints!
Purple- {bird noise}
Jimmy- I would really rather not. I just need to use your...
Marie- Help us!
Purple- {bird noise}
Jimmy- Ok... So what do I need to do?
Marie- Well, Purple is going to place hints everywhere and we are going to find them.
Jimmy- And then what?
Marie- Well, we use the hints to figure out the mystery.
Jimmy- And what is the mystery?
Marie- Well today the mystery is... Who killed Little Joey from Down the Lane!
Jimmy- What?!?
Marie- Yeah. (throws Purple off stage) And there he goes! Come on!
(Both run in place and a UPS guy comes out with a box. The box has a blue feather on it.)
Children Voices- A hint, a hint!
Jimmy- Who was that?
Marie- Those are the children!
Jimmy- Children?
Marie- Yeah! So anyways, where is the hint?
Jimmy- On the box right there...
Marie- (looking around) I don't see it.
Jimmy- It is right there. (point to the feather on the box)
Marie- Shh. Let the children answer.
Jimmy- Ok...
Children Voices- There.
Marie- (turns around and sees the UPS guy with the box.) Oh, there it is! (She takes box and pushes UPS guy off stage)
UPS Guy- Hey!
Jimmy- So what does a box have to do with anything?
Marie- I don't know. Let's open it and find out! (They open it and dump it out to find a LOT of candy) Look, our first hint! Let's draw it!
Jimmy- (As he speaks Marie opens a sketch pad and starts to draw) Why on earth would you draw it? It wouldn't be that hard to remember... (looks confused at the sketch pad. After a few seconds Marie holds up the sketch pad to the audience to reveal an AMAZING drawing of candy.) How did you... You know what, never mind. I don't need to know.
Marie- Ok, time to look for more clues! (Mailman comes out with mail) Look, some mail! Wonder who it is from... (as she reads she tosses them aside except for the last one.) Bills, bills, bills, and a coupon. Looks like we didn't get any letters from a kid today. Wait, what's this? (she holds up the last one to reveal an envelope with a feather on it.)
Children Voices- A hint, a hint!
Marie- You see a hint? Where?
Jimmy- It's... (Marie glares at him) Never mind.
Children Voices- In your hand!
Marie- Oh. (Opens envelope and pulls out a blindfold.) Looks like we need our helpful sketch pad. (Pulls out sketch pad and once again draws. After a few seconds shows audience to reveal an AMAZING drawing of a blindfold.) There. Our second hint. You know what this means? It means we only need one more hint!
Jimmy- Thank the Lord! I just needed your phone, but no!
Baseball Player- (comes out and his bat has a feather on it.) Does anyone know whose bird put this feather on my baseball bat?
Children Voices- A hint! On the bat!
Marie- Oh, thank you! (she grabs the bat and begins drawing)
Baseball Player- That is my lucky bat and now it has a feather on it! What am I suppose to do?
Marie- Not my problem. (Baseball player looks mad, but gives up and walks off. Marie hold up picture and it is once again AMAZING) We just found our third hint! Now we must think. How did Little Joey from Down the Lane die?
Jimmy- How does any of this give us any sort of clue as to how he died?
Marie- Easy! All of this means... He must have been a pinata!
Jimmy- A what?
Marie- A pinata! (Purple is thrown back on stage and Marie gets him.)
Jimmy- OK, you people are crazy, but at least we "solved" the mystery. So where is your phone?
Marie- My what?
Jimmy- Your phone. Remember, I need to use it to call someone!
Marie- Oh, we don't have a phone.
Jimmy- What?! You mean I just ran around with you trying to help you find your precious hints, and you don't even have a phone?
Marie- Pretty much. But come back tomorrow for another mystery!
Jimmy- That's it, I can't take it! I am leaving and I will not be coming back tomorrow! (exits)
Marie- Ok. Well, it looks like we are out of time. I will see yall tomorrow. Bye! (starts talking to Purple as curtains close)
