Hooty The Owl has
been out planting his garden today. He
has been on a strict diet. Dr. Owl told him He needs to lose 40 lbs. So Hooty decided yesterday to plant a garden
of herbs and vegetables. Langly Bear, a
nearby neighbor, is very curious as to what Hooty is doing and is on his way to
visit him.
Hooty: ( To Audience)
Hello everyone, I'm
getting ready to till my garden. I've
been trying to eat healthier lately, after all it is the wise thing to do. Before I start tilling my garden, I want to talk to everyone about losing weight. I desperately need to lose 40 lbs, so I
thought you all could hold me accountable
... Oh look, there is my neighbor Langly, He must have decided to visit today.
Langly Bear: Hey
Hooty How Are Youie? I could hear you
out here yesterday, trying to start the tiller.
Did you get it working?
Hooty, I think so,
I was runnin' a little short on gas
yesterday. But today I'm all set to go.
It's good to see you Langly, I would like to introduce you
to all the people here in our studio audience.
We are having a discussion about gaining weight. Hey,
everybody say hi to Langly. ( Hi Langly)
Langly: Hi everybody,
I was thinkin' yesterday that I need to lose a 40 lbs myself. I also was thinking what a bummer it is not
to be able eat all the chocolate honey cake I want. The good thing about dieting though, I can
have all the trout I want. I love trout
and it's good for your brain.
Hooty: I was trying to find one thankful thing to say about
gaining weight and believe it or not I did come up with some ideas.
Langly: I'd love to hear um, go for it.
Hooty: Well, this may
sound kind of silly, but I was thankful that when we gain weight it's in pretty
reasonable areas. You know some people
gain weight in their stomach, or their legs.
I was thinking what if we only gained weight in our nose. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to walk around
with a huge 40lb nose.
Langly: It would be
very hard to look up that's for sure.
Just think if it were your whole head.
They'd have to call you wobble head. Ya, they'd say look their goes
Hooty, looks like his head got too big.
Hee Hee
Hooty: That's
hilarious, but we really should never make fun of anyone who is overweight. It's ok in the way we are talking about it
right now though, but we should never make fun of anyone else.
It could be a hurt that takes a long time to heal. My wise old mother always told me if you make
fun of people it will one day come back to you in some way.
Langly: That's true, you know what I do to keep fit and
trim. I eat lots of berries.... berries and
more berries. Being a bear and all we like to run and climb trees. When I want to lose weight I put in some
extra tree climbing, but no honey is aloud.
Hooty: No Honey! That's terrible.
Langly: Not even one paw lick....SAD!
Hooty: WHoooo ever thought it? A bear with no honey?
Langly: Hay us bears gotta stay in shape, never know when
tree climbin' will become
very important for survival. But when my rear gets in the
way... it's time to do something about it.
No honey!
Hooty: Self control, that's the right way to go. Eating right and exercise. God wants us to
take care of ourselves.
Langly: Better
believe it. Time to work up a sweat. It's a long way to the top. It might as well be Mount Everest.
Hooty: Well look at the bright side.. after you lose 40 pounds
you'll look like a young bear and you can have a honey celebration. Just for one day though. You'll wanna stay fit and trim.
Langly: Okay enough talking....Honeyyyy a good incentive ! -- Jumping Jacks... 1, 2, 3, 4, Come on hooty you tooo.
( Langly keeps county slowly in background) 5, 6,
Hooty: Well looks
like we got to get exercising....... 40
pounds could take a while... Then off to Till my garden. It will be a work out!
See ya later boys and girls. Hope you come to visit us again at the Who's
Who Wise Shop. Maybe you could help me
come up with some new low fat seed recipes.
Well I better get jumpin'

Narrator: Well we hope you enjoyed our visit with Hooty and Langly bear. We learned today that God wants us to take care of ourselves and have self control in our daily living. Part of being the kind of wise person that God wants us to be. Is showing self control and being persistent. We all have weaknesses in different areas of our lives and it is a constant battle we need to fight, The number one reason is because we are human . God tells us however, in his Word to be Holy as he is Holy. We know none of us our perfect but we are to strive for the mastery. Just as we practice our music or art abilities, we need to be practicing self control and persistence. The more we practice these precepts with God's help and prayer. The more we will gain control over our weaknesses.
As we read the Word of God take note: another word for self control is the wordtemperance
Our bible verses for today are..
2 Peter 1:5-8
....And beside this,giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Word: another word for self control is the wordtemperance
