Clunky comes up
dressed like the Apostle Peter, carrying a fishing pole with a worm on
the end of the hook (actually a clothespin), singing the song, "I will
make you fishers of men." You come up front and ask him what he is doing.
Clunk tells you that he is "SIMON CLUNKER, the great Fisher of Men," and
that he is going out fishing for men.
You pick up the worm, and then
explain to Clunk that you don't go fishing for men using worms, fish like
worms, but you won't catch any men with them. You try to continue
to explain what the term "Fishers of Men" means, but Clunk interrupts you
and tells you that he realizes his mistake, and then leaves, telling you
that he will be back in just one minute.
While Clunk is gone, we can
hear him calling up the pizza parlor from behind the stage, and ordering
a pepperoni pizza. (During this time, switch the worm for a cardboard pizza.)
We hear the sound of someone knocking at the door, Clunk answering it,
and then asking the pizza deliverer what took him so long. Clunk then pays
him and comes back up with the pizza on the end of his hook telling the
kids that now he is going to be a real "Fisher of Men." Again you try to
explain to Clunk that you don't use pizza, because for one reason, some
people don't like pepperoni pizza (Clunk is amazed that someone actually
doesn't like pepperoni pizza), but again, before you can explain fully,
Clunk leaves to get something he is sure that everyone will like.
While he is gone, we hear him
getting into his piggy bank. This time he comes back up with a dollar bill
on the end of his line, telling you that he knows everyone loves money.
This too is wrong, so you tell Clunk that it is not an object, but
a person, and again, Clunk leaves before you fully explain. We hear
Clunk looking for his camera, then we see a flash. Clunk comes up the last
time with a picture of himself, sure that everyone loves him. Finally,
while holding on to him so he can't leave, you explain that you become
a "Fisher of Men," by telling people about
Jesus. |
