Puppet Skits

Digger David

SKIT 2-YOUR DOG IS GOING TO HAVE WHAT?

Materials: Bible

Pastor and David walk into the auditorium talking. Pastor is carrying his Bible.

Pastor: So, David, you say that your dog is going to have babies?

David: Yes, Pastor, I can hardly wait!

Pastor: When is she going to have them?

David: The vet says maybe next week.

Pastor: Wow, that’s exciting.

David: Yes, it is. The only trouble is I don’t know if she’s going to have kittens or bunnies or puppies or what she’s going to have!

Pastor: (Stops in his tracks and looks at David bewildered.) What did you just say, David?

David: I said, “The only trouble is I don’t know if she’s going to have kittens or bunnies or puppies or what she’s going to have!”

Pastor: Didn’t you say that she’s a dog?

David: (Nodding confidently.) Yes, she’s a dog.

Pastor: Well then, don’t you think she’s going to have puppies?

David: Well that’s just it, I don’t know!

Pastor: David, my friend, God’s Word, the Bible, has the answer to your question.

David: It does?

Pastor: Yes, David, it does.

David: Wow, the Bible had the answer to my chicken and egg question yesterday too! The Bible must be a fantastic book!

Pastor: Oh, it’s fantastic, alright!

David: Don’t tell me, don’t tell me! I’ll bet the answer is in the Book of Beginnings!

Pastor: Yes, right here in Genesis, the Book of Beginnings, chapter one. (Pastor opens his Bible.) God says that He created living things to have babies “after their kind.’ And that means that a grown up will have a baby of the same kind. So dogs will always have dog babies, and cats will always have cat babies, and people will always have people babies. Each living thing will have babies ‘after its kind.” Do you understand, David?

David: (Nodding his head with a smile.) Yes, I’m beginning to see the pattern. Turtle moms, turtle babies. Lion moms, lion babies. Dog moms, dog babies.

Pastor: That’s right, David.

David: Man, Pastor! That Bible of yours is a treasure for a truth digger like me!

Pastor: No kidding, David! God’s Word, the Bible, is the best place to find true answers! Because, you know Who wrote this book, don’t you, David?

David: No, Who?

Pastor: God did, David. And God can’t lie!

David: Wow! It must be true!

Pastor: It sure is! The truest book in the world! Both walk out of the area.
