Narrator: The Kingdom of heaven is like a store manager who went out near breakfast time to hire men to work in GameStop. He agreed to give them a teddy bear for the day and sent them into GameStop.
At around the time were you would say that you are full from breakfast is the same time that the store manager saw a man in the fountain splashing about.
Manager: What is thy name lad? Why are you there standing in that fountain?
Fre Dome: My name is Fre Dome. It was so hot out today I was hoping to cool off.
Manager: If you wish to cool off you must work hard first. Come to me and work! I shall give thee a teddy bear.
Fre Dome: I could always use a teddy bear. Is it brown?
Manager: If that is thy wish.
Narrator: So they leaped away and at around lunch time the store manager went out again and did the same.
Manager: What is thy name? Why art thou hiding under thy car?
Shine E.: My name is Shine E. Brite and I hide here because no one would hire me.
Manager: Get up from thy hiding place! Come to me and work! And ye shall inherit a teddy bear.
Shine E.: I could only accept one that is green.
Narrator: The manager agreed. At around the time where you usually watch TV and have ice cream after lunch is when the manager went out again.
Manager: What is thy name? Why art thou in a tree?
Ham L.: My name is Ham L. Ette. I like watching the birds up here.
Manager: But the bird which you hold is a fake?
Ham L.: Okay, I admit. I am afraid of the ground.
Manager: Come to me and work! A teddy bear shall be thine reward.
Ham L.: Will it be rainbow colored?
Narrator: And it would be. Now for the break. We’ll be right back after this.
