A Community Peace

by Debra Bruch

(For one person to portray a community, the actor must lose himself and use hands and feet like puppets.)

I want to tell you a story about a certain community whose lives were turned upside down one day. You see, someone from the outside came in. (Puts a sock on a hand.) And that person was seeking the Everlasting Ruundoo. Ruundoo.

(Puts a sock on the other hand.) It all started when the outsider ran into a person in the community and asked him if he had seen the Everlasting Ruundoo.

But two people don't really make up a community. So I'm going to do this. (Takes off shoes (has socks on). Puts black hood over head.)

Once upon a time a strange man came into town.

(1) "Have you seen the Everlasting Ruundoo?"

(2) "The what?"

(1) "The Everlasting Ruundoo."

(2) "What's that?"

(1) "Something wonderful. It will make you happy!"

(2) "Really? It'll make me win the lottery? It'll make me rich?"

(3) "Rich? Who said rich?"

(2) "The Everlasting Ruundoo will make me win the lottery!"

(3) "Really? Where is it?"

(1) "No, you don't understand. I said --- "

(3) "Where is it?!"

(1) "I -- I don't know. Somebody stole it! And I was looking --- "

(3) "I bet Larry stole it!"

(2) "Yeah! Larry steals everything! He'll know where it is!"

(1) "Hey! I'm the one who's looking for it!"

(2) "Let's get it!"

(4) "Aaaaahhhhhh!!!"

(They all fight and chase each other. We hear "I want it!" "Give it to me!" "Get it!" etc. Finally, all four collapse to the floor. They are tired.)

(2) "Now, what are we lookin' for again?"

(1) "The Everlasting Ruundoo."

(3) "Yeah. It makes you win the lottery."

(1) "I never said that! I said it'll make you happy!"

(4) "WELL, FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!!"

(2) "What?"

(4) "The only Everlasting Ruundoo I know of is Jesus!"

(2) "Jesus?"

(1) "Jesus?"

(3) "Jesus?"

(4) "Yeah! That's why he's called the Prince of Peace. Because he helps us learn how to live together and be happy!"

(2) "You mean he'll make us rich?"

(4) "Beyond your wildest dreams!!"

(1) "Yeah? How do we do that?"

(4) "By caring about each other! Quit fighting and help each other!"

(2) "Oh, okay."

(3) "Yeah, I can do that."

(1) "Yeah. Okay."

(2) "I told you Larry would know where it is!"

(The actor stands up and takes off the hood.)

And they all lived happily together.
