Farm Yard Episode 3

Farmer
Well hello boys and girls!

Wait for it

Farmer
I’m sorry but I didn’t hear you. Can you say hello on the count of
horse? bird….squirrel…horse!

Wait for it.

Farmer
Wow…that was much better. Welcome back to the Farm yard! I
am so glad that you are here with me today. My name is Farmer
Karen. I’ve been looking forward to hanging out with you! I was
just about to wake up the professor….

Phone rings

Farmer
Excuse but I’ve got to answer this….Hello, Farmer Karen! Okay….
well I need to take care of that…I’ll be right there. (Hangs up) Kids
I am so sorry but I have to go give some medicine to a sheep…he’s
been feeling sick so I am going to help him out. But first I need my
gloves…where oh where are my new fangled gloves…mmmm

(Looks around up and down while the gloves are obviously right there).

Farmer
Kids have you seen my gloves? Where? Over there? Oh I see…
thanks so much…

About to walk off camera.

Farmer
Oh…I was going to wake up Professor Clauu but I need to give
medicine to the sheep … would you please wake the Professor
up for me? Thanks! So on the count of horse … (we’ll see the
animals on screen) you’ll need to yell as loud as you can “WAKE
UP PROFESSOR CLAUU!”….are you ready! Great…wait for the
animals to show up on the screen!…I’ll see you soon! kangaroo…
mouse…horse

WAKE UP PROFESSOR CLAUU!

Clauu
MMM…it feels early to me…But I know that I would not be
woken up unless it is time to wake up! That sounded like
children! Could it be that the children have stopped by?

Professor Clauu appears

Clauu
Well….I was correct! The children have stopped by! Welcome
and thank you for waking me up. I was just dreaming about a
boat with feet. How interesting is that! Where is Farmer Karen?
Have you seen her?

Kid responses…

Clauu
Oh…well that sheep wasn’t looking too good last night at the
square dance. Did you know that we get wool from sheep! It’s
true! And did you know that bucket of wool makes ten miles of
yarn! It would take ½ day to walk 10 miles. All that yarn would
make a lot of sweaters! Maybe I should get my friend a sweater.
Children do you think a sweater would be a nice birthday gift?
I’m trying to figure out what to get my friend Narky for his
birthday….mmmm…this is a tough one. Would you mind helping
me out? At the count of three – I want everyone to yell ONE
thing that they think would make a good gift for Narky – 1 2 3

Wait for it

Oh thank you so much for those great ideas. The problem is that
my friend Narky has everything a chicken could ask for. He is
the funniest chicken to be around. We have a great time together.
And his birthday is coming up and I just don’t know what to get
him. I don’t know what to do. HUH – this is confusing. . .

Farmer comes back on the scene

Farmer
Good day Professor! I see the kids were able to wake you up!

Professor
Correct! And they have been listening to me figure out what to
do for Narky.

Farmer
That’s right…his birthday is soon.

Clauu
Correct. And I just don’t know what do to for him. He has everything!

Farmer
I wonder (thinking)…Professor have you thought about praying
for him?

Clauu
Pray for Narky? You mean the kind of prayer where I talk to
God? That kind of prayer? Well…no I had not thought of that.
But what does that have to do with me trying to get a present for Narky?

Farmer
Oh professor. Praying for someone is a great gift.

Clauu
Huh. I had no idea. Every time I’ve talked with God it’s been to
thank him for my friends and family or to ask for something for
me like rain to fill up the pond.

Farmer
Professor I have an idea. I know a book that can help explain
why prayer is a great gift.

Clauu
Really? Is it a road map book or a telephone book or a comic book?

Farmer
No. Hey kids how about you help the professor out with this. What
book did God give us so we could get answers on how to live our life?
Wait for it.

Famer
The Bible! That’s right. The Bible is a great book to find answers.
And maybe we can find the answer to why prayer is a great gift.
Professor do you mind if we hear a story from the Bible?

Clauu
A Bible story! That’s sounds great!…can I turn on the farm a tron
so the kids can watch too?

Farmer
Yes please

Hits a button and the roof opens up and a big TV screen pops out for the story.

Illustrated with a voice over

Farmer
So professor what do you think?

Clauu
Delightfully educational I do say my dear Farmer Karen. That
King Herod was quite the ornery king – quite despicable - really
mean. I was quite delighted that Peter was set free.

Farmer
Yeah that is pretty cool.

Clauu
And to think that the people were praying for Peter and it helped!
I didn’t know that you could pray for other people.

Farmer
Yes. You can pray for other people any time you want. You can
pray for anyone anytime!

Clauu
So what does that have to do with Narky’s birthday?

Farmer
Well…you could pray to God that Narky has a great birthday
and that he always has great friends. Stuff like that.

Clauu
Oh. So like right now Narky and his Dad aren’t being very nice
to each other. I could pray that Narky and and his Dad start
working on being nice to one another?

Famre
Sure…that would be a great gift to Narky…and his Dad!

Clauu
Cool! I’m going to do it right now! (praying) God please help
Narky and his Dad be nice to one another. And please let me
know how I can help them be friends again. Amen.

Farmer
That was great. You can talk to God about yourself or about
your friends any time you want!

Clauu
I had no idea that I could pray for other people. That’s a great
gift! And I’ll probably get Narky a sweater for his birthday. Do
you think the sick sheep could give me some wool so I can
make a sweater?

Farmer
You’ll have to ask him but I bet he’s going to feel better soon.

Clauu
Great! I am going to make a full body sweater for Narky. He’s
gets cold sometimes when he goes on trips in the outer space….fade off

THE END
