By Louise Ferry


"THE BEST FIGHTING SYSTEM"
Scripture Reading Proverbs 15:1
PUPPETS: Bob & Mom











    BOB: Boy, I'm sure full of pep today.

    MOM: What caused this peppy feeling, son.

    BOB: Well, I just finished having gym at school and today we were learning self-defense. We are learning the Sullivan System.

    MOM: What's the Sullivan System?

    BOB: It's hitting the other fellow before he can hurt you.

    MOM: What do you think of the Solomon System?

    BOB: The Solomon System? I never heard of it.

    MOM: It's the best system in the world.

    BOB: What's it like mom?

    MOM: You'll find it in Proverbs 15:1 (holding up a Bible).

    BOB: In the Bible!!!?

    MOM: Look it up for yourself. (handing the Bible to Bob)

    BOB: (Bob looks at opened Bible and says) "A soft answer turns away anger"

    MOM: Well, what do you think?

    BOB: Oh, I get it. Bill did that when Joe was mad and wanted to fight him.

    MOM: What did Bill say?

    BOB: He said, "I'm sorry, Joe, I'd rather be your friend.

    MOM: What happened?

    BOB: Well, it took the wind right out of Joe's blowing, and there just was no fight.

    MOM: Isn't that the surest way to win a fight. That's the way Jesus won may of His fights with His enemies.

    BOB: I think I'll take up the Solomon System. (both exit)
