P1: (looking at an open Bible) Wow, this is really cool!
P2: Hello, Puppet1.
P1: Hello, Puppet2! You look at little tired. What have you been doing?
P2: Well, I’ve been cleaning my neighbor’s house. He has a broken leg and can’t get around very well, so I thought he could use some help. I’m taking out all the trash I gathered now. (Big trash bag appears by Puppet2)
P1: Peeee-yuuuu! Boy, that’s some stinky trash, Puppet2!
P2: Sorry about that! Did I mention my neighbor has a pet skunk? Cute feller, but a bit…fragrant, if you know what I mean.
P1: I think I do!
P2: I heard you saying just now that something was “really cool” – what is it?
P1: I’m reading about the Jesus’ life in my Bible. He was one amazing guy!
P2: The greatest man who ever lived!
P1: I’ll say he was great! Look at all the stories about the people he healed! And how he told a raging sea to be still, and it was! And when he talked, people listened! He sure was a great leader. From now on, I’m going to try to be just like Jesus!
P2: Well, you couldn’t have a finer person to be like, Puppet1. How are you going to start out?
P1: I just read how Jesus liked to teach to people. I think I’ll go preach a sermon. See ya!
P2: Wait a minute, Puppet1. Did you see the story about Jesus and the stinky feet?
P1: Jesus and the stinky feet? I think I must have missed that one.
P2: Back in Bible times, people walked almost everywhere they went, and they walked on dusty roads…wearing sandals! When they got to someone’s house, a servant would take off their sandals and wash their feet for them.
P1: Bleccchh! I’m glad I’m not that servant! Even your trash smells better than stinky feet.
P2: One time, when Jesus and his friends were meeting together, there was no servant, and everyone had stinky, smelly feet. What do you think Jesus did?
P1: Did he teach a lesson on foot cleanliness?
P2: No.
P1: Did he say to the feet, “Stop smelling!”?
P2: No.
P1: I give up. What did he do?
P2: He washed everyone’s feet himself.
P1: Oh. (pause) That doesn’t sound very glamorous.
P2: It wasn’t.
P1: Sounds kind of…gross.
P2: I imagine it was.
P1: So I guess being like Jesus isn’t just going around and doing exciting things. (pauses and looks at the trash bag) Need any more help cleaning your neighbor’s house, Puppet2?
P2: I sure do, Puppet1! I was just going to start on his back yard. Did I mention that he keeps his pigs back there?
P1: You know, Puppet2, those stinky feet are starting to sound pretty good!
They exit.
