The Bible, The Word of God

3 Títeres—Juan, La Abuela, Lucy

Juan: (Enters very bored) Oh, hum, what a boring day.

Lucy: (enters) Hi, Juan. What are you doing?

Juan: Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm so incredibly bored!

Me too... (both looking at the audience, very bored)

Juan: Hey, do you want to play a game?

(the grandmother enters, stands behind them, listening without Juan and Lucy realizing)

Lucy: YES, what kind of game?

Juan: Let's see how many Bible verses we can remember.

Lucy: Okay! I'll go first. Let's see... "A tree that is born crooked will never have a straight branch."
harden.

Juan: Yes, that's a good one. Here I have one: 'Tell me who you hang out with and I'll tell you who you are.'

He who is born to be a flowerpot is thrown from the balcony.

Juan: And this one: "A shrimp that sleeps wakes up in a ceviche."

Grandma: Stop! Stop! (Juan and Lucy turn around, scared)

Lucy: Hello grandma. I hadn't seen you!

Juan: Hello grandma. Do you want to play with us?

Grandma: I think I've heard enough of your 'Bible verses.' Lucy, can you
Tell me, in which part of the Bible are those 'verses' that you were mentioning?

Lucy: Umm... in some part of Proverbs, I think. Why? What importance does it have in
Where are they located?

Grandma: A lot! Especially because they can't be found anywhere.

Bible!

Juan: They're not here! Lucy, you're a cheater!

Grandma: Wait a moment, Juan. Your "verses" weren't from the Bible either!

Juan: After all, what's the difference? They're all good sayings, right?

Lucy: Yes, what is special about the Bible?

Grandma: A lot of things. It is the word of God!

Juan: But the man had to draft the document.

Grandma: That is true, but God guided them.

Lucy: Grandma, you are the smartest person I know. Do you believe everything that is in...
the Bible?

Grandma: Of course I believe! 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says: All Scripture is inspired by

God, and useful for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for instructing in righteousness, so that the
man of God be perfect, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Juan: What does that mean, grandmother?

Grandma: That means that the whole Bible has been given by God, and the whole Bible is useful for
to teach us the truth and make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It is righteousness
for us and helps us do what is right. It is God's plan to do good for us.
ready to do good.

Lucy: But, aren't there errors in the Bible? Even small ones?

Grandma: Oh, many people have tried to find errors in the Bible. But never
they have been found.

Juan: I think Lucy and I should try to learn some true verses from the
Bible!

Grandma: Well, why don't we do it while we have some milk and cookies?
my kitchen?

Lucy:Absolutely!

Juan: Let's go! (they start to leave) One more question, grandma...

Grandma: Do it, Juan.

Juan: Did you no longer live when they started writing the Bible?

Grandma: (sighs, then laughs) Oh Juan!

The Flower of Heaven
3 Títeres—Juan, La Abuela, Lucy

Juan: Come on, Lucy. Let's play hide and seek in the backyard!

Good idea. The weather is so nice today. I really like spring. How about you?

Juan: Of course I like it. Now... why don't you go over to that tree and close it?

Lucy: Okay. (Walks to the side) Look, Juan! The first flower of the
Spring! How beautiful it is!

Juan: Yes, let's show it to grandma. She really likes flowers.

(They both call to grandma--- grandma, grandma!)

Grandma: (enters) Yes, kids. What is so exciting?

Lucy: Look! We found the first flower of spring!

Juan: Don't you think it has a very pretty color?

Grandma: Oh yes, she is very lovely. She is so beautiful that she makes me think of heaven.

Lucy: Why does it make you think of heaven, grandma?

Grandma: Do you remember what the seed of the flower we planted in the ground was like?
last autumn?

Lucy: Yes, it was brown and dry, like an onion. Hey, wait a moment! I know
where there is a seed that did not get to be planted. (She goes out briefly and returns with
a dry seed) Look! See how dry it is.

Grandma: Yes, and that old, dry seed reminds me of the people here on earth.
Everyone will die one day and their bodies will be buried.

Juan: Do you mean that they are like that seed that was sown?

Lucy: But that seed didn't stay dead.

Grandma: That's right, Lucy. When a person dies, their spirit goes with God.
immediately yes, he has believed in Jesus as his Savior, but his body remains on the ground.

Juan: Do you mean that it's like the seed of the flower that stayed in the ground all
the winter?
Grandma: Yes, children, and someday when Jesus returns to the world, He will raise the...
dead and will give people a new body to live in heaven with Him.

Juan: Grandma, will we have a new body in heaven too?

Grandma: No, Juan. We are just puppets made of fabric, and we are
made by people. But the Bible says in Revelation 21 that real people
those who will be in heaven with God will not have to suffer, for there will be no weeping nor pain nor
sadness.

Lucy: Grandma, will all people really go to heaven?

Grandma: Oh no, only the people who have believed in Jesus, that He died in
his place, paying the price of his punishment which is eternal death. Instead of death,
Jesus offers eternal life to all who believe in Him

Juan: Will we always have to live in the puppet's suitcase?

Grandmother: Yes, dear. But think about how good it is to tell stories to children.

(Juan is on stage with a fishing rod in his hands)

Come fish! Today I want to fish! Where are they? Watch out for the big one.
fisherman Juan!
(the grandmother enters)

Grandma: What are you doing, Juan?

Juan: I've been sitting here trying to catch something for a while, and the only thing that...
I fished this cold... Aaaaaaaaatchoooo!

Grandma: Are you playing, or what?

Juan: No, Grandma, this is something serious.

Grandma: But how are you going to fish if not a drop of water passes by here?

Juan: Yes, I know. But that’s how the Sunday school teacher taught us—she
he taught us how to fish.

Grandma: Did they teach you that? Are you sure you heard right, Juan?

Juan: Surely my name is Juan. She told us that the Lord Jesus said:
Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men... and that is exactly what
what I am trying to do: fishing!

Grandma: Didn't you misunderstand?

Juan: No, Grandma, how do you think? The only thing I didn't understand was what to do.

Grandma: Bait? Oh no! That's not how the Bible tells us it should be.

Juan: No? I don't need to use a rod, hook, or bait?

Grandma: The Bible says that it is through our behavior and the words of

Juan: Me? But I wouldn't want anyone to eat me!

Grandma: No, no one is going to eat you. Besides, if someone were to eat you, maybe they would
you would be very unlikable. (laughs) I meant to say that others will be attracted to the Lord by your
way of being. Do you understand?

Juan: Yes, but you always say that I am very lazy... how will that attract others?

Grandma: Hummmmm, I don't think that would attract anyone... maybe the sleepyheads.

Juan: Special like a cone covered in chocolate?

Pauli.
Pedrito.
Aunt, Sunday School teacher.

SCENOGRAPHY: A Puppet Theater.

A spotlight to illuminate the puppets.

PURPOSE: To understand that the arrival of a new little brother will always bring
joys to all the members of the household; for the children are
blessing of God.

PAULI'S CHARACTER: Strong, she is the one in charge.

CHARACTER OF PEDRO: Submissive, he does everything his sister entrusts him with.

Friendly and affectionate.

PAULI: Boo- Boo-Boo...(cries).

PEDRITO: Why are you crying, Pauli?
PAULI: Pedro, Pedrito, what are you doing all day, didn't you hear what he said?
Mom in the dining room?
PEDRITO: Oh it seems I missed something... What did he say?
PAULI: Bua- Bua, how terrible, she said we are going to have a little brother.

PEDRITO: How nice, a little brother! So he can play ball, do wrestling.

How entertaining!
Bua-Bua-Bua, it can't be.
PEDRITO: But why all this crying,... Oh these women. So much commotion they make.
for everything.

situation, we will have to leave the house.
PEDRITO: What?...yes... it seems you are right, there are no more pieces in the house.
PAULI: See, parents think this is something good, everyone thinks like that,
but in reality it is not.
PEDRITO: Ah, I hadn't looked at it that way, so what are we going to do?

PAULI: Well, we need to agree on when we are going...

PEDRITO: Well, I think that...
PAULI: No Pedro, I've already made the decision we're leaving immediately, is that clear...

PEDRITO: But, Pauli my mom might miss us...

PAULI: But, Pedro, it shows that you are silly, (stupid) uh... you are just like everyone else.

men, my mom isn't even going to think about us, don't you see that she will be very
busy attending to the baby.
PEDRITO: Oh, yes Pauli, you are right... Pauli, why do parents want to have more?

PAULI: Bua-Bua, I don't know, something strange must be happening... Pedro, don't you
had you thought that if it's a boy he will play ball with you, and if it's a girl
Will she play with the dolls? We won't be able to play together anymore, the baby is going to destroy our

PEDRITO: Yes, you're right, it's better that we live together, that way we can keep each other company.

like until now.

PAULI: Pedrito the question is... where are we going?
PEDRITO: I already know the house of grandma Ada, she loves us a lot and...
PAULI: But, Pedro, think a little, she is our mom's mother and surely
He will tell her that we are there, can't you see that they tell each other everything...
PEDRITO: So let's go to the countryside, where Grandma Meche lives, she lives very
far away and dad hardly ever goes there...
PAULI: Pedro, you are thinking... that's a great idea, let's go for the suitcases.
PEDRITO: Let's go (the 2 puppets go down by the suitcases, and upon arrival...)

PAULI: Bua-Bua..., we are in trouble (a hurried aunt enters, she finds herself in the...
bus stop.
AUNT: I'm late to take the bus, I'm so behind... But, what's wrong with you all?
children? Why are they crying?

PEDRITO: Aunt, what happens is that...

PAULI: Shut up, Pedrito, don't even think about telling the aunt anything...

PEDRITO: But, Pauli, let's tell her, maybe the aunt can help us.
AUNT: Let's see kids, it seems you have something to tell me... I'm listening... go ahead.

PAULI: Aunt, what happened, boo-boo, something terrible, aunt...

AUNT: But tell me, Pauli.

PAULI: Aunt, we tell you on one condition: promise us that this won't be known.
nobody.
AUNT: Alright, I promise you.
PAULI: Pedrito, you tell him. Please...(sighs) I can't.
PEDRITO: Aunt, what happens is that we are going to have a little brother.

AUNT: But, children, having a little brother is super fun and great, how beautiful!
PEDRITO: Yes aunt, but...
PAULI: Aunt, it's not like that, we'll have to leave the house...
AUNT: But, kids, who told you that?
PAULI: Well aunt, Pedro and I are drawing conclusions, the house is small, right?
There are more pieces and tell me, where will they put the baby?... It's obvious, isn't it aunt?
PEDRITO: Besides, aunt, I'm sure our mom will pay more attention to the baby and
he will forget about us.
AUNT: But, kids, that is not going to happen,... when a baby arrives at home, it is a lot of
blessing for the dads and for the family... having a little brother is beautiful...
PAULI: Beautiful, why aunt?
AUNT: Because they are part of one and when we grow they accompany us and take care of us, for

for example, if it's a boy, he will play with Pedrito and the two will take care of you, Pauli... and if it's a girl

they will play together and Pedrito will take care of them both.

PEDRITO: Aunt, but when they are kids they cry a lot...
PAULI: Besides aunt, when they are made, they are stinky (holds nose).

PEDRITO: I was so little, aunt, that I don't even remember.

PAULI: Aunt, how do you know that we are going to love our little brother?
AUNT: Think about the things you will do with your little brother while he is still small.

They can help take care of him, also think of Jesus who without knowing you
but loves them so much and takes care of them, you are already part of Jesus' family, because he

PAULI: But, aunt, will we also have to change it?
PEDRITO: No Pauli, we are very small.
PAULI: Ah well I was saying...
AUNT: And when they grow up, they will be able to go out together for a walk with their

PAULI: Oh aunt, you have lifted a weight off my shoulders, I was so worried about the
situation.
AUNT: It seems like this was jealousy-jealousy, ah, ah...

PEDRITO: Not aunt...

Aunt... how can you be... it's just that Pedrito got so scared with the news.
AUNT: Now they are going to go to mom, they will give her a kiss and take good care of her.

PAULI: Alright aunt.

PEDRITO: Thank you aunt, bye... Pauli how nice it will be to play with our little brother,
I hope it's a boy to play wrestling with him...
PAULI: I hope that if it's a girl she looks like me, she'd be so cute, right Pedro?
PEDRITO: Ahh, these vain women... let's go to mom.
PAULI: come on Pedro, I'll race you to the house... and as always, I'll win.

(WE GO OUT TOGETHER)
(PABLO IS SINGING A CHORUS)
PABLO... And if we all work together, united
SANTIAGO...What a beautiful chorus you are singing, Pablo!
PABLO…Thank you, boy
PABLO... Hey Santiago, the children are listening to us sing.
PABLO...Hello kids
PABLO...How are you all?
SANTIAGO... Dude, that chorus you are singing is nice, but how are we going to do it for?
Shall we go to work in the United States?
PABLO...United States?
PABLO... What are you talking about, boy?
SANTIAGO...Yes boy, and the chorus doesn't say... "and if we all work in the United States"
PABLO... This guy, he's already starting with his craziness.
PABLO... It’s 'what if we all work together, united'
SANTIAGO...hehehe dude, I heard wrong
PABLO... Did you know, Santiago, that it is necessary for us to be united in order to work?
SANTIAGO…Aha boy, explain to me…
PABLO... Yes, boy
PABLO... It is important that we all work together to be able to bring the message of the Lord to
All people
SANTIAGO...It sounds nice, boy
SANTIAGO... But you can't always work together because there are people that one dislikes.
PABLO... What are you saying, boy?
PABLO... In the house of the Lord, there should be no divisions
PABLO… We all must be together like the brothers we are and thus be able to form one.
Body, which is the body of Christ
SANTIAGO... There are boys, but in the church there are brothers who are the only ones who do the...
things
And they leave nothing for one
PABLO...What do you mean Santiago?
SANTIAGO... I don't know, how to sing or go up front here?
PABLO... Can you sing Santiago?
SANTIAGO... Well... not much, dude.
PABLO... Do you realize, then that this brother who likes to sing does so because he does it well, and
That is how he praises the Lord
PABLO...So, if your strength is not singing, the Lord has given you another gift.
PABLO... What could be the gift of serving or the gift of teaching
SANTIAGO... So each person in the church has different gifts or different ways.
To praise the Lord, boy?
PABLO...That's right, boy, and if we combine all those gifts we can form a ministry.
PABLO... Because for a ministry to develop, it is necessary to unite all the gifts.
What is inside that ministry
PABLO... Do you understand what I'm telling you, kid?
SANTIAGO... Yes, boy
SANTIAGO... So that means I have two gifts.
PABLO... Aha, let's see boy, what are they?
SANTIAGO... The gift of serving and Don Paco my dad
PABLO... This boy, you're never going to learn from your madness.
PABLO...Look, Santiago, each one has a gift for working.
PABLO... Pay attention to what I'm going to tell you.
SANTIAGO...Aha boy, I'm listening to you
PABLO... One night in a carpentry shop, they were discussing all the tools.
About the work that each one had to do. They were dissatisfied and didn't want to.
To work, the hammer wanted to sand the wood, the screw wanted to cut, the sandpaper wanted to
Hit and the saw wanted to hit
PABLO... None of them could agree
PABLO... Suddenly the carpenter arrived, took all the tools, and began to work on
the
Wood until making a beautiful piece of furniture, then it left.
PABLO...At night, the tools gathered again and realized that each one
It was special for doing a job, the hammer was strong and could hit and give.
It shapes the wood, the screw could join the pieces so tightly that they could not be separated.
Sanding could remove all the roughness from the wood and leave it smooth and
Very beautiful and the saw could cut and shape a piece of wood
PABLO... Then they recognized that working all together they could do wonders.
SANTIAGO... Today I understood you well, kid.
SANTIAGO... We must be united in order to work well
PABLO... That's right, boy.
SANTIAGO…Pablo, why don't we sing that chorus you were singing?
PABLO... Well then, let's sing it.
And if we all work united, united
And if we all work together, what a joy it will be.

YOUR WORK IS MINE, OURS IS OF GOD

AND IF WE ALL WORK, WHAT A JOY IT WILL BE
(CAN EVERYONE HOLD HANDS TO SING IT?)
PABLO... Well boy, I have to go.
PABLO…See you later kids
SANTIAGO... I'm leaving too, kids, and remember that all of us must...
to take us
Good and working together so that other children can come to the feet of Christ
SANTIAGO…Each one of you has a gift

SANTIAGO.. At this time, a boy always passes by shouting out in the street.
SANTIAGO.. I'm going to help you so that Pablo sees that I learned the lesson

SANTIAGO.. Well, I don't know what problems he has, but he always seems desperate.

PABLO.. Hey Santiago, you're never going to learn, kid. That's not helping your neighbor, that's
is that
do you want to buy a cone
SANTIAGO.. No boy, it’s a help because he wants the two pesos and I give them to him and
well... the
out of gratitude, it gives me a cone
PABLO.. This boy
PABLO.. Helping others is serving them without expecting anything in return, that is, not expecting that the
us
pay or receive something from that person
PABLO.. Because when you help those in need, the reward you receive is from God
PABLO.. Because God blesses and is pleased with the children who serve or help their parents, to the
elderly
like me, to their little friends or schoolmates.
PABLO.. If you read the Bible in Acts, Paul said:
I have shown you that by working in this way, one must help those in need, and
remember the
words of the Lord Jesus, who said: It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Acts 20:35
PABLO.. Moreover, I want the children to memorize this verse:
It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35
(PRIZES CAN BE GIVEN TO THE CHILDREN WHO REPEAT IT)
PABLO.. Did you learn the lesson today, Santiago?
SANTIAGO.. So boy and the verse too, shall I tell you?

SANTIAGO... Yes man, I heard a preacher say that, man.
SANTIAGO...Jesus doesn't love me because I'm a light brown boy, only because of my color
PABLO... No boy, stop saying those things because Jesus loves us all.

PABLO... When he said that God wanted us to be as white as snow, he meant that we should not...
We had no sin.

SANTIAGO... Wait a minute, let me finish...

ADAPTATION CHILD MINISTRY TIME FOR CHILDREN.

BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU SAY
(BOTH COME OUT TOGETHER)
Santiago is crying
SANTIAGO... That old ugly woman doesn't let anyone interact with their colleagues.
SANTIAGO... And then when one doesn't want to talk to them, they say that one is rude and all that.
SANTIAGO... That old lady should go take care of her grandmother instead of bothering me.
PABLO... What's wrong with you, boy?
PABLO... Why are you saying naughty things?
SANTIAGO... The teacher punished me.
PABLO... It can't be just for fun, Santiago
SANTIAGO… Yes kid, it was for fun. Just to annoy.
SANTIAGO... You see, a colleague was having a birthday, and as a gift, I gave him a...
toad in the bag
(CONTINUES CRYING)
PABLO… Kid, but what you did is really wrong.
PABLO... Is that why the teacher punished you?
SANTIAGO... Well, you see, he had only scolded me.
SANTIAGO... But it annoyed me because I hadn't done anything to her, so I told her:
No
Fry then
SANTIAGO... And there I punish myself, he told me that next time he was going to wash my mouth out with soap.
SANTIAGO… Because he didn't have to be spoiled
Pablo... Of course, Santiago
PABLO... Did you know that God doesn’t want spoiled children?
PABLO... I see that there are many things you need to learn, and I'm going to explain them to you.
PABLO... God gave us a mouth and gave us a voice so that we could speak, but not to be
Rude
PABLO... God gave us a beautiful voice, but to worship Him. So that from it, only
Let beautiful and pleasant words come out to the ears of others.
PABLO... God doesn't like us to use this mouth to say ugly words.
SANTIAGO... Not even to say your grandmother, boy?
PABLO... No, Santiago, the word grandmother is not bad; what's bad is the way that...
you use
The expressions. Because you are already doing it in a way that intends to offend.
SANTIAGO... But look kid, I only say: Your grandmother and other kids at my school say
Some really ugly swear words
SANTIAGO... Big bad words, when they are angry
PABLO... What a bad boy, when you hear a child say that, you have to go to him and
Tell him that God does not like to hear those dirty words, because He gave us this.
Voice for us to praise Him
PABLO... Did you know that God speaks to us in His word, which is the Holy Bible, already in advance we
It says in Matthew 12:36
That for every idle word that men speak, they will give account on the day of
trial.
PABLO... In simpler words, it means that from every bad word or any
Naughtiness that men say they will have to give explanations to God.
SANTIAGO... How good, man, I saved myself from giving accounts to God
PABLO... Why do you say that Santiago?
SANTIAGO... Because he says about every word that men say and I am a child
PABLO... No, boy, when he says that he is referring to all humanity. To all people.
SANTIAGO... ah!.. I understand you now, dude, then we're in trouble.
PABLO... Why, boy?
PABLO... It's free to be faithful to God in this way.
PABLO... And if you forget, there is another part in the Bible where it speaks to you louder and says:
The mouth of the righteous will produce wisdom;
But the perverse tongue will be cut off. Proverbs 10:31
PABLO... You just need to ask God to control your tongue and to help you and not
Let rude words come out of that mouth
PABLO... Santiago, imagine if they cut off your tongue
SANTIAGO... God protect me, boy
SANTIAGO... But what do I do when I'm really angry?
PABLO... Nothing Santiago, just thank God and ask Him to give you peace.
May the devil stay away from you
(SANTIAGO IS DEEP IN THOUGHT)
SANTIAGO... It's true, boy, you see we can speak well and there are other people.
That they cannot speak. That they were born without a voice or due to some illness.
They can speak
PABLO... You realize, boy, that's why we must be here every day.
Grateful to God for giving us a lovely voice to praise Him.
PABLO... Speaking of praising God, sing this song with me that goes like this:
TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOUTH, TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOUR MOUTH SAYS
TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOUTH, TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOUTH WHAT IT SPEAKS

BECAUSE GOD IS ABOVE AND WILL HEAR EVERYTHING

TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOUTH, TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOUTH WHAT IT SPEAKS

SANTIAGO... How nice is that little song, do you know something?

SANTIAGO… I want to apologize to the Lord for being rude to my parents and teachers.
PABLO… That's great, boy, let's pray then.
SANTIAGO… Lord Jesus, I ask you for forgiveness for all the bad words I have spoken. I
I promise that I will no longer say them and that from now on my mouth will be for
To praise you. Thank you for giving me a mouth and a voice to be able to speak,
Thank you for everything. Amen.
PABLO... Do you see how easy it is to please God in that way?
SANTIAGO... Yes, dude, Pablo, would it bother you if I told your grandmother?
PABLO... Hehe, not at all. Besides, I don't have a grandmother anymore.
PABLO… It's better to keep singing this chorus I taught you.
SANTIAGO... Yes boy, Goodbye kids..

(SANTIAGO APPEARS WHISTLING A SONG)
SANTIAGO… Hello children
SANTIAGO... How are you?
SANTIAGO... Do you know something? I'm whistling because I saw some little birds and how beautifully they sing.
SANTIAGO... What I don't know is why they sing so much
SANTIAGO... Well...
SANTIAGO... They do it beautifully and I want to sing like them
(KEEPS WHISTLING) (PABLO EXITS)
SANTIAGO... Hello Pablo, how are you?
PABLO... Hello Santiago
PABLO… Hello kids, how are you?
PABLO... Let's see boy, why are you so happy today?
SANTIAGO... Ah! Well boy, it's just that when I was coming to the church I saw a bunch of little birds.
Singing and they did it very beautifully
SANTIAGO... Then I want to sing like them.
SANTIAGO… By the way, boy, why do those little birds sing so much?
PABLO... What a good question you have asked me, boy.
PABLO... They sing for God, they sing happily because God created them.
PABLO... So they, in gratitude, spend every day praising the Lord
SANTIAGO... Is that really why, man?
PABLO... Of course, boy, all creation is made by God. So everything that
you
Eyes were created by God
SANTIAGO... Small man, but there is an animal that God did not make.
PABLO... How can you say that, boy!
SANTIAGO… Yes boy, I read it in a book
SANTIAGO... It was the zebras
PABLO... Here this boy goes again with his confusions.
PABLO... I have already...
(Santiago interrupts while Pablo is speaking)
SANTIAGO... Let me tell you the story, kid, otherwise you will never learn.
PABLO... Let's see, boy, what are you going to come up with now
SANTIAGO... You see, thousands of years ago there were no zebras, only horses.
Since the horse is a quite strong animal, made for work. In a small town
far away from here they were made to work day and night and the poor horses hardly ever rested.
Some of them had already thought about escaping, but they couldn't grab onto anywhere or they
could
hide because they were easily recognized.
Once when they were on the road carrying firewood, one of these horses, which was very intelligent,
saw a
A man who painted wood said: 'I know, I will talk to this man so he can paint for me.'
and so not
they can recognize me and confuse me with another animal.” If that is what I am going to do.
The next day, in the good morning, he went to this man and said to him: "Good man, I want
to ask for a
great favor, I am an animal that is only used for work all day and I am already
tired
I would like you to help me so that these people do not recognize me.
The man said to him: "But how can I do that, horse?" The horse replied: "Paint me
sir, like this
They are not going to recognize me and I will be able to rest.
The man thought it was a good idea and first gave it a coat of white paint, but he saw that

It looked like a horse because there were some that were white. Then I painted some lines in color.
black
When people saw the painted horse, they didn't recognize it and said: What a beautiful animal, I have never seen it before.
We had seen where he would come out! Then they took him to a quieter place and gave him
a lot
food and they took care of it.
The other horses saw that he was their friend and asked him how he had done it, he told them
that a
the man had painted it and gave them his address so that they could do the same. Then everyone
the
horses went to that man and so years passed painting them and that’s how they appeared
zebras.
(PABLO LAUGHS)
PABLO... Ah boy, how crazy you are
PABLO... Who told you that?
SANTIAGO... No one, dude, I read it in a book.
PABLO... Look boy, you must be careful with what you read.
PABLO... The only book that tells the truth is the Bible, the Word of God. And so that you are
Surely the only creator of everything that exists is God, read Genesis 1.
SANTIAGO... Genesis 1 boy?
PABLO... Yes Santiago, it is the first book of the Bible, it tells you how God created everything.
Animals, the sky, the earth, and everything that exists
SANTIAGO… You convinced me, boy, that's why those little birds I saw were singing.
today?
PABLO… Of course Santiago, because all creation must praise the Lord.
SANTIAGO… Pablo, but let's say you were a worm, would you still praise God?
PABLO... Of course, boy, if it were a worm, I would praise it for being happy.
SANTIAGO... And what if you were an elephant?
PABLO... I would praise him for being elegant
PABLO... Look boy, the Word of God says that everything that breathes should praise Jehovah.
PABLO... And right now that we are talking about little animals, you reminded me of a song.
PABLO... I'm going to sing it to you, it goes like this:
IF I WERE A WORM, I WOULD THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HAPPY
IF I WERE A CAIMAN, I WOULD THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HANDSOME
IF I WERE AN ELEPHANT, I WOULD THANK YOU FOR BEING SO ELEGANT
BUT THANK YOU OH MY LORD, FOR MAKING ME
BECAUSE YOU GAVE ME A HEART AND MADE ME HAPPY
YOU HAVE GIVEN ME JESUS AND NOW I AM YOUR SON
And I thank you, O my Lord, for having made me.
PABLO... What did you think, kid?
SANTIAGO... Today yes guy, I understand that we are all creations of God and that's why we must...
Always praise him.
SANTIAGO... And you children remember that everything you see, all the little animals, the plants
and everything
What breathes is because God made it.
PABLO... I like that you are learning the lessons Santiago
SANTIAGO... Of course, kid, if I'm very smart.
PABLO... mmmmmmm, let's better leave it like that boy, let's keep singing
SANTIAGO… What did you want to say, kid?
PABLO… Forget it kid, Goodbye kids

GOD ALWAYS TAKES CARE OF US
Santiago leaves crying
PABLO… What happens to you, boy?
PABLO... Why are you crying?
SANTIAGO... I mean, look dude, I have a lot of problems and there is no one who can help me.
Help; in fact, I believe that no one was interested.
PABLO... Hey! Boy, don't say that. There is someone who is interested in us.
More than anything else in this world, and that can help us in
Any situation
SANTIAGO... Yes, boy, I know that you are very good to me and you always advise me;
But who can be so interested in my boy?
PABLO... Look boy, there is a God who created us in His image and likeness and that
He/She is always attentive to everything that happens to us.
PABLO... The Bible says that we should not despair over what we will eat or
What we will wear. If you see the birds of the sky, God feeds them and us
We are more important than them.
SANTIAGO...Yes, kid, but I'm not any bird, and if I were a bird, I would be a
I am a little wheat-colored boy and still have to see how.
I am going to eat.
(SANTIAGO STAYS LOOKING AT PABLO AND LAUGHS)
SANTIAGO...Pablo! You would be a duck because you are wrinkly and short.
PABLO... Come on, boy, you had to come up with a clever idea.
PABLO...Look Santiago God loves us more than anything else He has created.
SANTIAGO...Guy, if what you say is true, why does everything sometimes go wrong for us?
PABLO...Look Santiago, sometimes we have to let things happen according to His will.
God, although we may not like it.
SANTIAGO... Explain that to me, boy.
PABLO...Look son, the Bible says that not even a leaf falls from a tree unless it is His will.
PABLO... Moreover, in another verse it says that He will command His angels concerning you so that
Your foot does not stumble on stone.
(SANTIAGO SPEAKS IN A MOCKING TONE)
SANTIAGO... That's not true, dude.
SANTIAGO... Because my grandmother got on a chair to fix the Christmas tree.
And he fell and broke the last tooth he had, and now it will really cost him.
Laugh boy
PABLO... Hey boy, you are always so clever.
SANTIAGO... It's true, boy, and I was expecting to see the Angel that my grandmother would win.
But the one who won was the poor dog Firulay who fell on top of him and it
I crush
PABLO... Hey little Santiago, when are you going to get better?
PABLO... Look boy, as long as we are doing His will and working
In his work, God will always fulfill his word and take care of us.
SANTIAGO... That is, boy, that when we have problems, God is always there to
Help us?
PABLO... Yes boy, when we think that God does not listen to us is when he is closest.
He is one of us
PABLO... Loves us so much that he is with us day and night
SANTIAGO... Thank you, man, because now I am really at peace.
SANTIAGO... Now I will tell my grandmother so that she doesn't fall again, and I will invite her to
The church
(SANTIAGO STAYS LOST IN THOUGHT)
SANTIAGO... The one who will not be able to come is Firulay because he broke his ribs.
SANTIAGO...Poor dog!!!
PABLO...Look Santiago, I am going to teach you a chorus that goes like this:
HE IS ALWAYS THERE WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG
HE IS ALWAYS THERE WHEN THERE IS NO HOPE
HE IS ALWAYS THERE WHEN I GO TO PRAYER
MY JESUS NEVER LEAVES ME ALONE, HE IS ALWAYS HERE
SANTIAGO... What a nice song, let's sing it with the children
(THEY SING WITH THE CHILDREN)
PABLO... And remember everyone that God is always with us
SANTIAGO... I'm leaving now, dude, because I have to go take care of the dog.

PABLO… What a shame, boy, have you ever prayed to the Lord?
SANTIAGO... Yes kid, but only for the food
PABLO... Oh boy, you endured pain because you wanted to.
SANTIAGO... Why do you say that, boy?
PABLO…Santiago, did you know that we Christians have a secret weapon?
PABLO…It is a weapon we can use in any situation, it is a powerful weapon.
SANTIAGO...Pablo, don't come to me with that you have an AK-47 hidden in your house.
SANTIAGO...Look that those weapons are prohibited
PABLO…No boy, stop being crazy.
PABLO... The weapon I am talking about is called Prayer
Santiago remains thoughtful.
SANTIAGO…Mmmmmmm
SANTIAGO... So I can ask the Lord for anything?
PABLO…Of course, kid
PABLO... If you are sick, if you have problems, so that I can help you with your studies; you can
shout in
Pray to God and He will answer you.
SANTIAGO... Really, dude?
SANTIAGO... I thought that one only prayed at mealtime.
PABLO... No boy, you can pray to the Lord at any time, any day that he

Will be listening
PABLO... What do you think we come to the church for, Santiago?
SANTIAGO... Are you going to learn from the word of the Lord, boy?
PABLO...If Santiago and to be in communion with him through Prayer

Opportunity for the devil to harm you
SANTIAGO... So, does the devil only bother people who don't pray?
PABLO... Well, look Santiago, the devil can bother you. But if you are in Prayer, he cannot.
Touch you or hurt you because God sends his angels to take care of you.
SANTIAGO... But man, just like those brothers who come to church and when they get home

Straight to watch television?
PABLO...Ah, they are losing the blessing
SANTIAGO... And what about the one who doesn't pray?

PABLO... The devil devours him

SANTIAGO... And what about the one who does not fast?
PABLO...The devil devours him for breakfast
SANTIAGO... Well, it's messed up then.
PABLO... That's right, boy.
SANTIAGO... In other words, the Christian who is not in prayer is made prey by the devil.

PABLO... You said it yourself, boy.
SANTIAGO... But in all this boy, what is the Prayer?
PABLO... You have asked me a good question Santiago
PABLO... Praying is talking to the Lord, it's like making a phone call.

Lucy: Grandma, Grandma!

Grandma puts down her Bible for a moment and looks towards where Lucy is.

Grandma: What's happening, Lucy? Were you calling me?

Lucy: I have something very interesting to tell you!

Grandma: I'm all ears!

Lucy: Juan was playing during class and the teacher punished him!

Grandma: A punishment? How nice!

Lucy: Does that make you happy to hear, Grandma?

Grandma: How can I not be pleased if Juan is corrected in school for being lazy.

can help him behave better.

Lucy: The teacher asked him to pick up the papers he was throwing during class.
In class. She told him that he couldn't go out until he finished picking up the last piece of paper.

The Grandmother: What a boy! Always the same! He is very careless and undisciplined.

Grandma: What a privilege! And... can I know what that important task was?
Juan?
Juan: (lowers his head)

Grandma: (with a chuckle) Don't talk so fast! I can't hear you!

Juan: I can't tell you right now, Grandma, because Lucy is present.

Lucy: Yes, because I know it wasn't any special task that you did... Why not?
Do you tell grandma the truth?!

Juan: Lucy, please!

Grandma: I heard that your teacher punished you. Is that true?

Juan: (head down) Yes, it's true... I'm really sorry, grandma.

Lucy: Why don't you tell grandma the reason?

Juan: Lucy! Don't continue! Grandma, look!

Grandma: It's okay, Lucy. Juan learned his lesson and you don't have to remind him.
The Bible says that we all do wrong, and God calls this 'sin.' Romans 3:12
There is no one who does good, not even one.

Juan: Phew, I'm glad the Bible says that, grandma!

The Grandmother: It's true, but when a person knows Jesus as their Savior,
God forgives you and helps you live a new life.

What does that part about a new life mean, grandma?

Juan: Does God transform us into new puppets?

Grandma: (laughing) No, Juan! It means that God changes your attitude, your way
to be and to act.

Lucy: That's going to be difficult, Grandma.

Grandma: Why do you say that, Lucy?

Lucy: Why is Juan terrible! How could God change someone like him?

Grandma: Good, Lucy, God can change anyone.

SANTIAGO... That’s right, kid, and I'm even growing a mustache.
PABLO... Do you notice, boy
SANTIAGO... Yes kid, but if I am big and strong it is because I had to grow up someday.
PABLO... No Santiago, you are mistaken
PABLO... If your parents hadn't taken care of you, or if your mother when she had you in her womb
would have
Decided that you would not be born

SANTIAGO...Boy, do you run errands for someone?
PABLO... Well...
PABLO... Well, I no longer have anyone to run errands for, boy.
SANTIAGO...You notice, boy, that's why you are talking
SANTIAGO... If you were tasked with running errands, you wouldn't be telling me this.

PABLO...In the Bible, boy, in EXODUS 20:12
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land that
The Lord your God gives you.
PABLO... In other words, obey your parents if you want to live many years here in the
earth

The Five Loaves and Two Fish
3 Títeres—Juan, La Abuela, Lucy
Team: Bible
Purpose: To teach that Jesus is the Son of God and He works with power
Scene: Juan enters with a Bible in one hand and rubbing his stomach with the other.

Juan: That story made me hungry!

Lucy: (enters) Hello Juan! What's up?

Juan: Hello Lucy! I am dying of hunger!

Lucy: But it's not lunchtime yet, it's barely 1:00 in the afternoon!

Juan: Yes, I know. But that biblical story I read made me very huuuu hungry. I don't know
if I hold on until mealtime!

Lucy: You are always hungry, no matter what time it is. Tell me, what do you
Does it deal with history?

Juan: (with a funny look) Lucy, do you think raw fish is good?
to eat?

Lucy: Raw fish? Yuck!! Who likes to eat raw fish? I think
that would sit very badly with me!

Today the Sunday school teacher told us the story of Jesus.

when he feeds 5000 people with only two fish and five loaves that a
the boy gave. 5000 people! That's a lot of people, don't you think!

Lucy: Yes, 5000 people is a lot of people.

Juan: What I don't understand is how Jesus was able to prepare the fish to give them to...
So many people. Lucy, what were those fish like?

The Grandmother: (enters suddenly) Juan, I am going to explain it to you.

Juan: Grandma! I thought you were asleep in your chair as usual.

Grandma: (a little displeased) And I thought you were picking up

all their things that were left lying around, like their socks and shoes that
they left everywhere when they returned from Sunday school...

Juan and Lucy: Ah, forgive me, grandmother.

Lucy: Grandma, Juan and I were talking about the lesson that Juan
learned today.

Juan: Grandma, how did Jesus manage when he fed 5000 people with
only 5 loaves and 2 little fish?

Lucy: Yes, grandma, explain that to us.

Grandma: Jesus is the Son of God and He has great power for anything,
still multiplying the loaves and fishes to feed a multitude.

Juan: How did he manage to prepare the fish so quickly? Did they eat them?
raw or cooked?

Yuck. Who is going to eat raw fish! Not me!

Grandma: That detail is not the most important in the lesson. There are things that...
You may not understand, but as the Lord is the Creator of all, that was not
problem for Him. Jesus could do what He wanted. For the Lord, there is no
impossible. He is the Son of God. Remember that.

Juan: So I would like to have fried fish with tartar sauce. Hmm. Tasty.
I'm so hungry! I'm more than ready to eat!

Grandma: Juan, you are always thinking about your stomach. I would like to know when
you start to think about more serious things.

Yes, serious things like what to eat to satisfy hunger. (laughs)

Grandma: Come on, I'm going to serve you something in the meantime. Let's go to the kitchen.
(they leave laughing)

MORE THAN A SUPERHERO
SANTIAGO...Hello children, how are you?
SANTIAGO… I am full of problems, I don't know what to do
SANTIAGO...Problems in my studio, with my classmates and everywhere
I go, I see problems.
SANTIAGO... If only there were a superhero to help us solve the
Problems.
( HE REMAINS PENSIVE )
SANTIAGO...Now I remember that Pablo told me there was someone who can
Solve the problems, but he didn't give me names.
SANTIAGO... Who will it be?
( HE REMAINS THOUGHTFUL )
SANTIAGO... I know, the red grasshopper. Yes
SANTIAGO… I see on television that when someone has problems, they just say:
Oh, and now who can help me?.... and out comes the Mexican Red Grasshopper.
SANTIAGO... Yes, he is the hero we need.
( SALE PABLO )
SANTIAGO... Hello Pablo
PABLO...Hello Santiago
SANTIAGO... Pablo, look, I already found the hero I was looking for, the one who...
You said I could solve all my problems.
PABLO... Oh, really?
PABLO... I'm happy for you because that superhero is the best.
SANTIAGO... Yes, the Red Grasshopper is the best
PABLO...Who?
SANTIAGO... The red grasshopper, isn't he also your hero?
PABLO... No Santiago, mine is a powerful being who is in the heavens.
SANTIAGO…Superman?
SANTIAGO... Yes, you are right, that one is better than the Chapulín because it can even fly.
PABLO…Oh Santiago, some things you see on television are not real. They are
False.
PABLO... There is only one Super Hero who can solve your problems and his name is
JESUS
(HE REMAINS THOUGHTFUL)
SANTIAGO... But he doesn't appear on television like Chapulín or Superman.
PABLO... No Santiago, those characters are not real, even if you see them in full color.
They have no power. They are fake.
PABLO...JESUS if he is real and is much more than a Super Hero because he gave his
Life for us for the salvation of our sins.
SANTIAGO... And what is this about the salvation of our sins?
PABLO...JESUS died on a cross for us, because he knew we were bad
And we had sinned, and instead of punishing us, He showed us His love.
Dying on the Cross of Calvary to forgive our wickedness.
SANTIAGO...So JESUS is indeed brave.
PABLO...Of course!... Santiago, I think you should pray and worship JESUS because he is
Much more than a Super Hero.
PABLO... Yes children and you should also know that the only Super Hero
True that he can help us, his name is JESUS.
PABLO... Haaa Santiaguito, I'm leaving. Stop watching so much television and read the Bible.
PABLO…Goodbye children…
(PABLO LEAVES THE STAGE)
(SANTIAGO REMAINS THINKING)
SANTIAGO…I am going to thank JESUS for being my hero
SANTIAGO...JESUS thank you for being the solution to my problems, now I understand
what
What I see on television is pure fantasy and not real, I apologize.
For believing that there was someone more powerful than you, thank you for being my
Help at any time. Thank you for being my Hero.
(IT IS ADDRESSED TO CHILDREN)
SANTIAGO…Come children, for Jesus is real and He doesn't like us to watch programs.
On the television they talk about powers and all those things.
Only JESUS has power because He is much more than a Super Hero.
SANTIAGO... See you later kids...
