Sample of script:

Edie: Hi everyone! Slith and I want to talk to you about the importance of reading the Bible every day—just like Slith does.

Slith: Yep, yep, yep! I read my Bible every day. Yes, I do! Every day! Yep, yep, yep!

Edie: But now that I come to think of it, Slith, I’ve known you a long time, and I’ve never seen you reading the Bible. Are you sure you read the Bible every day?

Slith: Yep, yep, yep! I read my Bible every day! Yes, I do! Yep, yep, yep! B - I - B - L - E! I read the cover every day! Yep, yep, yep!

Edie: That’s not what I mean by reading the Bible. You need to open it and read what’s inside every day.

Slith: That sounds hard. Why for do you want to do that?

Edie: Do you ever get hungry, Slith?

Slith: Yep, yep, yep! This lizard gets hungry and eats lots and lots of flies. MMMM, good! Yep, yep, yep! That’s what I do—I eat bugs and flies!

Edie: Bugs and flies—well, okay. But your spirit gets hungry too. What do you feed your spirit?

Slith: Feed my spirit?

Edie: Yes! There once was an old hermit who lived up in the mountains. He had a white dog and a black dog. When he came down to get supplies, he bet the townspeople that the white dog could beat the black dog. To the townspeople, it looked like an even match, so they bet against him, and sure enough, the white dog won—just like he said it would.

Slith: No, no, no! I choose the white dog because he won before!

Edie: That’s just what the townspeople thought too! They remembered the white dog won last time, so they bet on him again. But sure enough, just like the hermit said, this time the black dog won.

This went on for a while. Each time he came down, he’d bet that one dog would beat the other, and he was always right.

Finally, a young boy asked him how he knew which dog would win. He said, “It’s the dog I feed. You have to feed your spirit or it gets so weak the Devil can beat . . .
