In a class, at a school, on an island #2

Teacher:  I am so impressed you are all sitting quietly on the mat.  Now we have five minutes till home time so we are going to play a maths game.
(All students groan)
Student 1:  Aaaw, Miss, we wanna play Sleeping Lions.
All students:  Sleeping Lions.  Sleeping Lions.
Student 1:  Can we play Sleeping Lions?
Teacher:  I don't think so.
All students:  Pleeease.
Teacher:  Well, how do you play Sleeping Lions?
Student 1:  We all lay on the floor and pretend to be sleeping.
Teacher:  But what do you do?
Student 1:  We sleep.
Teacher:  You beauty, umm, very well then.  Let's play Sleeping Lions.
Student 1:  You have to watch us and if we move you have to pick us and we're out.
Teacher:  Sorry, I want to play, too.
Student 1: Okay, I'll pick.
(Students lay sleeping on the mat)
Student 1:  Richard, you moved.  You too, Courtney.
(Student 1 picks out students one by one)
Student 2:  Miss is really good at this game.
Student 1: Taylor, you moved.  Ella.  Briony. Will.  You're all out.
Student 3:  Miss isn't moving at all.  
Student 4:  She is a good sleeping lion.
(Home bell sounds)
Student 1:  Miss, you won, you won.  And it's time to go home.
