THE RAGING RIVER GAMEThere is a raging river which can be crossed only by means of a

boat. The only boat is owned and operated by a person we shall call A (inorder to protect the innocent as well as the guilty). On the same side of theRiver is a person, X, who is deeply and sincerely in love with a person C onthe other side of the River. X goes to A, asking to be taken across the Riverand offering to pay whatever the charge for the service. A declines anymoney, but agrees to take X across the River, if X will sleep with A. Person Xrefuses, of course (!), but argues and then pleads with A to name some otherprice. A, however, remains firm.

Person X leaves but returns a second day to seek a way across the

River. A remains as adamant as before. In frustration, X seeks out a thirdperson, B, who hears of the situation sympathetically, agreeing that A iscertainly a rogue. But B says, "I have other matters concerning me just nowand am not able to help you."

In desperation X goes to A a third time only to be met with the sameoffer for the trip across the River. X finally agrees to the price and sleeps with

A, who then delivers X across the River as promised.

X and C are joyously reunited, until C asks how X got across theRiver. X truthfully replies, "I had to sleep with A to earn the trip across theRiver." C replies indignantly, "Out of my life ! I will have nothing to do withone who holds honor and principle so lightly! X, of course, is frustrated and

desperate again, and appeals to Person D who replies, "I understand and amdeeply sympathetic. I'd do anything I can to help you." (The curtain falls.)
