Introduction: We are doing a play on the mountain men, also known as fur trappers. The mountain men moved to the west because fur was popular at the time. Their journeys were really intense and they faced many difficulties. They left behind personal journals.

Karen: One day Steven decides to become a fur trapper.
Steven: I'm heading to the west to get myself some fur.
Karen: Steven sets a trap hoping for a beaver to come.
Steven: *puts trap on the floor*
Karen: Then a beaver crawls and is stuck in the trap.
William: *puts leg in trap*
Steven: Look what i found, a beaver!!
*shoots beaver*
Steven: Is he dead?
*shoots again*
Steven: Now he's dead!
Karen: Then Steven skins the beaver.
Steven: *takes of Williams jacket*
Karen: On his way to get more fur, an Indian comes and throws stones at Steven.
James: *throws paper balls at Steven*
Karen: Steven quickly ran away and reached the trading point.
Melissa: I'll trade you beer for your fur.
*hands imaginary beer to Steven*
Steven: That sounds good.
Karen: Next, Steven wrote his entire journey in his journal.
