A lesson about keeping your eyes on Jesus.
Cast:
D.B. – a good albeit not very bright bunny
MR. ELIJAH – the teacher who sets him straight
Props:
A big carrot (preferably with leaves)
(MR. ELIJAH begins on stage.)
D.B.: Hi, Mr. Elijah.
MR. ELIJAH: D.B., just the bunny I wanted to see. I have a message for you from your mother.
D.B.: Really? What did she…? (spots the carrot) Oooo!
MR. ELIJAH: What’s the matter, D.B.?
D.B.: (no response)
MR. ELIJAH: D.B.?
D.B.: (no response)
MR. ELIJAH: (waving hand in from his face) D.B.!
D.B.: (still staring) Huh?
MR. ELIJAH: What you staring at?
D.B.: (dreamily) That.
MR. ELIJAH: You mean the carrot?
D.B.: That is not just any carrot. That is a Carotene 200.
MR. ELIJAH: A what?
D.B.: A Carotene 200. A selection of the Autumn King type, with deep orange, heavy conical carrots up to 27cm in length, with strong foliage. It keeps well in the ground and stores for a long period, keeping its flavor. 475 seeds.
MR. ELIJAH: How do you know so much about carrots?
D.B.: I am a rabbit, silly. (still staring at the carrot)
MR. ELIJAH: Anyway, your mom wanted me to tell you that she won’t be home after church, so you’re suppose to go to your Uncle Thumper’s house.
D.B.: (no response)
MR. ELIJAH: D.B., are you listening?
D.B.: (snapping out of it) What? Of course I am listening.
MR. ELIJAH: We, you didn’t seem to be…
D.B.: I am a very good listener.
MR. ELIJAH: I’m sure you are, but…
D.B.: After all, I have great big rabbit ears.
MR. ELIJAH: So does my television, but that doesn’t make it a good listener. So tell me what I said.
D.B.: Huh?
MR. ELIJAH: If you were listening, what did I say?
D.B.: What did you say? Um… You said she’s going to play bunco with a rubber mouse.
MR. ELIJAH: No.
D.B.: Go juggle a grumpy louse?
MR. ELIJAH: No.
D.B.: Go smuggle a lumpy grouse?
MR. ELIJAH: No.
D.B.: Go snorkel a monkey joust?
MR. ELIJAH: That doesn’t even make sense.
D.B.: No, I guess not. I am sorry. I was so distracted by the Carotene 200 (looks & sighs) that I did not really listen. Please tell me again what my mom said.
MR. ELIJAH: She said to go to your Uncle Thumper’s house.
D.B.: That makes a lot more sense.
MR. ELIJAH: I imagine it does.
D.B.: Is that all, Mr. Elijah?
MR. ELIJAH: That’s it, D.B.
D.B.: Bye, Mr. Elijah.
MR. ELIJAH: Bye, D.B.
D.B.: Bye, Carotene 200. (exits)
