[Setting: Inside a Church. Rowan is standing at a podium, in a priest's robe
and scarf. A little organ fanfare plays as he walks to the podium]
PRIEST: And on the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. And
it came to pass that all the wine was drunk. And the mother of Jesus said
unto the Lord, "They have no more wine". And Jesus said unto the servants
"Fill six water pots with water." And they did so. And when the steward of
the feast did taste of the water from the pots, it had become wine. And they
knew not whence it had come. But the servants did know. And they
applauded loudly in the kitchen.
PRIEST: And they said unto the Lord, "How the Hell did you do that?!” And
inquired of him, "Do you do Children's parties"? And the Lord said, "No.” But
the servants did press him, saying "Go on. Give us another one." And so he
brought forth a carrot. And said "Behold this, for it is a carrot". And all about
him knew that it was so. For it was Orange. With a Green Top. And he did
place a large red cloth over the carrot and then removed it. And lo, he held
in his hand...a white rabbit. And all were amazed and said "This guy is really
good! He should turn professional!"
PRIEST: And they brought Him, on a stretcher, a man who was sick of the
palsy. And they cried unto him, "Maestro, this man is sick of the palsy". And
the Lord said "If I had to spend my whole life on a stretcher, I'D be pretty
sick of the palsy too!" And they were filled joy and cried out, "Lord, thy oneliners are as good as thy tricks. Thou art indeed an all-round family
entertainer".
PRIEST: And there came unto him a woman called Mary, who had seen the
Lord and believed. And Jesus said unto her "Put on a tutu and lie down in
this box.” And then took he forth a sword, and cleft her in twain. And there

was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. But Jesus said, "Oh ye of little
Faith." And he threw open the box, and lo, Mary was whole. And the crowd
went absolutely Bananas. And Jesus and Mary took a big bow.
And he said unto her "From now on, you shall be known as Sharon. For that
is a good name for an assistant".
PRIEST: And the people said, “We've never seen anything like this. This is
great. You must be the son of God.” But the Lord said, “No, I am He Who
Comes Before.” And they were sore amazed and said, “Then, Master, how
shall we know the true Lord?” And Jesus said, “By his name shall ye know
him. And he shall have a very religious name. And he shall be called Paul.
And Daniel shall he be called.” “Paul Daniels?” they cried. And the Lord
said, “...Yes. Something like that.”
PRIEST: Here ends the lesson.
