Am I a Fisherman?

Act 1.
Scene 1.

Housegirl enters room

Housegirl: Omalicha, you have not baited this morning. Ngwanu, go and bait!

Omalicha: Hahaha. Chukwumerije, am I a fisherman? It's not bait oh. It's bath. Go and bath.

Chukwumerije: Aah. Sorry oh. Go and bath then.

Chiamaka: Haha. It's not bath oh. Are you a tub? The verb is "bathe" (as in "beythe"). Just like you have the noun "breath" and the verb "breathe", the noun is "bath" and the verb is "bathe". So you can take a bath or you can bathe. But you can never bait or bath.

Chinasa: I disagree. In British English, "bath" can also be used as a verb and it means "to wash in a bath" e.g "Go and bath the baby" or "I bath every morning."

Omalicha: Hya! Oyibo grammarians. Ok oh. I'm going to bathe abi bath.

Omalicha gets up and leaves for the bathroom. Chukwumerije walks away more confused than ever.

Curtain closes.
