Buddy ‘Rewards’

©2009 Mike Competillo

(Buddy enters then Butch and Spike)

Buddy: Hi boys and girls! It's me, Buddy Barrel. I sure hope you all keep remembering to bring your barrels in each month to help the missionaries!

(Spike and Butch enter)

Buddy: More people need to think about the missionaries who have traveled so far to tell others about the love of Jesus.

Butch: Hi Buddy.

Spike: Hi Buddy.

Buddy: Hi Butch. Hi Spike. Are you guys working on your reward too?

Both: Huh?

Buddy: Your missionary reward!

Spike: Buddy, we're not really missionaries.

Butch: Yeah, we just do what we can to help spread the news about Him and bring in our barrels to help.

Spike: Yeah.

Buddy: Just as I thought!

Spike: What?

Buddy: You are working on your reward! Great job guys!

Butch: But Buddy, haven't you heard what we said?

Buddy: Oh, I have, but haven't you heard what Jesus said?

(Pause, while they look worried at each other)

Spike: What was that, Buddy?

Butch: Yeah, do you know something that we should know?

(Buddy tips his head toward the guys)

Spike: What? What is it? (Looking worried and panicking)

Buddy: Always remember that Jesus said that whoever gives a prophet so much as a drink of water, will earn a prophet's reward! Or an evangelist....

Butch: (exclaiming) Or a missionary!!!

Buddy: Right!!!

Spike: Oh yeah, I get it!

Butch: (cheering) Yippee! Woo hoo!

Spike: Really?

Buddy: Really!

Spike: Wow! That's really neat!

Butch: So just by giving money from our barrels means we'll get a missionary reward in heaven?

Buddy: That's right!

Butch: Wow, I can't wait to see what it is! Thanks Buddy! I'm gonna telling everyone who helps! (He exits)

Spike: Yeah, thanks Buddy! (Exits)

Buddy: And thank you boys and girls for all that you do too! You're surprise is yet to come! (Exits)

(Music bed)
