THE GOLDEN RULE ~ Sally (skunk) & Bianca (bunny)

no props
Sally - (appears ... no words for now ... lays head down ... heartbroken)
Bianca - (appears after a few seconds)
Excuse me.  (gently taps Sally on the back) 
Hello there!    Are you OK, Sally? 
When we were lining up to come to Art, I saw you smiling bigger than anyone.
Sally - (lifting head ... sad voice)  Yes, Bianca, art's my favorite subject.  (puts head back down)
Bianca - I don't understand.  Did they run out of paintbrushes?
Sally - No, that's not it.  (gets self upright now)
Bianca - Well, what happened then?  Why are you so sad?
Sally - You see - When I sat down at the table, everyone started making fun of me. 
They held their noses and called me "Stinky". 
Then they ALL got up and moved over there.
Bianca - What?!?  (in unbelieving voice)     That's no way to treat a new student!  
And, anyway, I'm standing right here beside you, and I don't smell a thing.
Sally - I know.  We skunks only give off that bad odor when we're startled or afraid.
It's the way we protect ourselves.
Bianca - Don't worry, Sally.  Come sit with me and my friends.
We'll make room for you at our table.
Sally - Really?  (voice brightens)  Why would you be so nice to me, Bianca?
Bianca - It's called the Golden Rule.  I learned about it at church.
When Jesus lived on earth a long time ago, He taught everyone to treat each other the way they wanted to be treated.
Sally - WOW - I like that rule!
Bianca - Yeah, me too.  Come on!
I think the teacher's ready to give us our instructions.   (both disappear together) 
                                                                       THE END
Scripture Theme
"Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them."  (Romans 3:23, NASB).
