PUPPETS:
Gerry, and Sally
PROPS:
None
GOAL:
To show that being cool (walking in darkness) can be dangerous!
Gerry:
Good
morning Sally!
Sally:
Good
morning! Is that you Gerry?
Gerry:
Yes,
of course it's me! What's wrong? Can't you see me?
Sally:
Well,
yes, and no! I see something, but with these sunglasses, I can't tell WHO or
what things are!
Sally walks along and stumbles into something
Sally:
Ouch!
I have bumped my knee five times so far today!
Gerry:
Sally,
why are you wearing those sunglasses around here?
Sally:
Because
it's COOL! Everybody is wearing them! Don't you think I look cool Gerry? All my
friends tell me I do!
Gerry:
Uh,
well, I dunno…
Gerry walks around Sally and tries to get a good look
at her from different angles. Sally keeps looking in the same direction not
knowing that he has moved away
Sally:
Well,
anyway, I think it is cool to walk in the dark… hey, where did you go?
Gerry:
I'm
right here.
Sally:
Now
stop that! Stay still! You make me nervous when you move like that!
Sally moves toward him and bumps into something again
Sally:
Ouch!
Now THAT really hurt!
Gerry:
Sally,
I got to tell you… this walking in darkness bit is dangerous! Did you know
that the Bible tells us that we are supposed to walk "in the light?"
Sally:
It
does?
Gerry:
Yes.
In Ephesians 5:8 "For ye were sometimes
darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light."
Sally: What does that mean?
Gerry: It means that we learn and obey God's word, and
let Jesus guide us instead of our friends!
Sally: But, but, is it cool to follow
the Bible?
Gerry: Sally, being a Christian means
not worrying about "being cool." It is better than being a fool,
constantly bumping into things, and hurting yourself, and sometimes not even
knowing WHO you are talking to
Sally takes off her glasses
Sally: I think I want to walk in
"the light." It really is a whole lot better!
Gerry: Good! I think so too! Now,
let's go find out what they are teaching in Sunday School class today!
