Langly Bear Loses His Cool (Puppet Show)

I can not put this on audio right now- I have a horrible cold.

Langly Bear Loses His Cool
Being Patient

Narration:

Guess what everyone, something's wrong with Langly! 

Who knows what it is?  He's been out kickin' at stumps all day long!

Something's going on and Hooty the Owl is determined to find out what's wrong with his friend.

Hooty:  Hey Langly! Langly!  When you get tired of kickin' at stumps, come on over here and let's talk a bit.  What's wrong with you anyway?

Your toe already looks twice its size!  Give it a break why don't ya!

Better cut it out before you really do break it!  If ya know what I mean!

Hey Langly!  You're a grump quit kickin' stumps!  Ha Ha Ha!  Toe funny I had to laugh.

Langly: Are you having your laugh at my expense?  I've been toeing the line here and you're just sitting at the shop having a good hearty laugh.

Glad I can make you feel so good, while I'm walking around with a ball on the end of my foot. 

Hooty:  Whooo, look at the bright side Langly, you could have had put your nose too close to the grindstone.   Then your nose would be too big to look past.  Which is better? big toe or big nose?  Ha Ha Ha

Langly: That's easy for you to say... For somebody so nosey! You don't even have a nose!  Quit peckin' on me! .. Quit peckin' on me! Am I your personal peckin' post or what?

Hooty:  Okay! Langly, I've got one thing to say to you. 

Langly: What? Hurry Up! What?

Hooty: You've lost your cool. 

Langly: Whaaaat?

Hooty:  Whooo.. Whooo... lost his cool? - you did. you did.

What are you mad at?

Langly: I'm tired of being tired!  I'm tired of diggin' for grubs!  When Papa bear gets home He wants grub on the table.  Guess who gets the grub diggin' job?  Me, myself and I.  Mama bear has put down the law!

"No fun till the job is done!"  Now my toe hurts and I'm tired.  I'm too tired to have any fun, besides my bucket's not full yet.  No time to climb trees, collect berries, look for honey or go fishing! That's no life, who wants to look at grubs all day?

Hooty: Well Langly, look at the bright side.  You still have one good toe left.  You'll get some of that grub to eat at dinner time too.

Langly: Very funny!  Hooty. 

Hooty: Okay Langly,  let's pray about it?  When you've lost your cool you've lost your patience. 

Langly: Okay, let's pray that God helps me find it fast.  pray for my toe too.  I've got a lot more grub diggin' to do.  

Hooty: Father in heaven, help us to be patient with each other and with whatever the day brings.  Help us through our problems and help us rejoice in you. In Christ name. amen

Hooty:  We all lose our cool sometimes Langly.  That's when we need to

apologize and ask God to help us stay patient when things get hard.

Langly: Your right Hooty, besides, grubs are sounding pretty good right now.  I'm hungry for some grub!  With lots of berry butter on it.

Hooty: Whooo ever thought? Get a little hungry and things get better fast.

Narration: Looks like Langly's learning how to be patient.  We all have to learn patience and need to ask God to help us have good attitudes.  We all have things we would rather be doing, but obeying God and taking care of each other is the most important job we have. 

Continue talking about prayer and choices.
