**Lola the Llama:** (nervously) Whiskers, I have something to tell you... I accidentally spilled water all over your drawing. The one you worked so hard on for the art contest. I'm really, really sorry!

**Whiskers the Cat:** (angry and upset) My drawing?! Lola, that was important! How could you be so careless?

**Ollie the Owl:** (calmly) Let's take a deep breath, everyone. Remember, we all make mistakes. It's important to show love and forgiveness, just like Jesus taught us. Remember how Jesus forgave those who wronged Him.

**Lola the Llama:** (sadly) I truly didn't mean to, Whiskers. Can we practice apologizing?

**Whiskers the Cat:** (frustrated) Fine, but you better get it right.

**Lola the Llama:** (thinking) Uh... Whiskers, I'm sorry I... um... "waterized" your drawing?

**Whiskers the Cat:** (raising an eyebrow) Waterized? That's not even a word, Lola.

**Ollie the Owl:** (smiling) Keep trying, Lola. You'll get it right.

**Lola the Llama:** (nervously) Okay, okay. Whiskers, I'm sorry I... turned your drawing into a... um... water park?

**Whiskers the Cat:** (sighing) Lola, focus! It was an accident, just say that.

**Lola the Llama:** (embarrassed) Right, right. I'm sorry I accidentally spilled water on your drawing. Can you forgive me?

**Whiskers the Cat:** (thinking) Hmm... Why do you keep licking your paws, Lola?

**Lola the Llama:** (confused) Uh, never mind. Let's get back to apologizing. Whiskers, I'm sorry I... uh... cat-tastrophized your drawing?

**Whiskers the Cat:** (laughing) Cat-tastrophized? That's creative, but not quite right.

**Ollie the Owl:** (chuckling) Apologizing can be hard, but you're doing great. Keep practicing.

**Lola the Llama:** (frustrated) Okay, okay. Whiskers, I'm sorry I... accidentally made your drawing wetter than a fish in the sea.

**Whiskers the Cat:** (trying not to laugh) Well, that's one way to put it. Let's try again.

**Lola the Llama:** (deep breath) Whiskers, I'm really sorry for spilling water on your drawing. I didn't mean to, and I hope you can forgive me. Just like Jesus forgave those who wronged Him.

**Whiskers the Cat:** (softening) Alright, Lola. I forgive you. It was just a drawing, and you're more important to me than any drawing.

**Lola the Llama:** (relieved) Thank you, Whiskers! I'll help you make a new one for the contest.

**Ollie the Owl:** (proudly) That's the spirit! Showing love and forgiveness makes friendships stronger.

**Whiskers the Cat:** (smiling) Yes, let's make an even better drawing together, Lola. Oh, by the way, why do you keep licking your paws?

**Lola the Llama:** (blushing) I... I just get nervous! Let's get back to the drawing!

**Whiskers the Cat:** (teasing) Do llamas even have paws?

**Ollie the Owl:** (laughing) Well, this llama does!

(All three characters laugh together)

**Lola the Llama:** (happily) Thank you, Ollie. Let's get started, Whiskers!

(All three characters start singing and dancing around, to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell")

**All together:**

🎶 A-coloring we go, a-coloring we go,

Hi-ho the derry-o, a-coloring we go! 🎶

**Scripture References:**

- "Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye." (Colossians 3:13)

- "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (Ephesians 4:32)

- "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:8)

**Bible Story Parallels:**

The story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) is a wonderful example that parallels the theme of love and forgiveness. In this parable, Jesus tells of a son who asks for his inheritance and then squanders it in reckless living. When he realizes his mistakes and returns home, his father welcomes him back with open arms, showing immense love and forgiveness. This story beautifully illustrates the message of showing love and forgiveness, just as the father forgives his son and rejoices at his return.
