佩任：怎么了，克拉伦斯？你看起来有点生气。
克拉伦斯： 哼，我现在不是很高兴。
佩任：告诉我发生了什么事让你这么不开心。
克拉伦斯： 昨晚比利过来玩我的新游戏机。全新的新游戏机，被他刮得一塌糊涂，现在已经不能用了。
佩任：这确实很不幸，但我相信比利不是故意的。
克拉伦斯： 他说这是个意外，他很抱歉......但我不能原谅他，那是我最喜欢的游戏，蛙人。
佩任：你知道这让我想起了圣经中的一个故事。
克拉伦斯： 蛙人让你想起圣经中的一个故事？
佩任：别犯傻，是原谅部分。
克拉伦斯： 哦!
佩任：这个故事是关于一个小男孩的，他在他父亲的眼中非常特别。
克拉伦斯： 丹尼尔很特别。
佩任：是的，但这是一个关于约瑟的故事，他是雅各的12个儿子之一。雅各非常爱他的儿子约瑟，给他做了一件非常特别的彩衣。
克拉伦斯： 我想那一定很美。
佩任：是的，约瑟非常喜欢他的彩衣。但他其他11个兄弟却非常嫉妒。他们没有彩衣。
克拉伦斯： 那么，他们做了什么？
佩任：他们所做的非常残忍。他们先是把约瑟放在一个深坑里等死，后来决定把他卖给一些去埃及的商人。
克拉伦斯： 我想约瑟一定很生气。
佩任：他起初很生气，就像你现在生气一样，但他也爱神。
克拉伦斯： 那后来呢？
佩任：约瑟在埃及安了家，很快成为那里的重要人物。有一天，神在梦中告诉他，那地要发生大饥荒。你知道什么是饥荒吗？
克拉伦斯： 我想就是没有东西吃。
佩任：是的，这场饥荒将持续七年之久。
克拉伦斯： 哇! 那是一段很长的时间，每个人都会饿死的。
佩任：是的，但法老不傻。他让约瑟为饥荒做好准备，储存了大量的食物以备后用。最后，饥荒来了，约瑟的兄弟们没有了食物....。
克拉伦斯： ......所以他们想从约瑟那里得到一些食物？
佩任：是的，他们这么去做了。
克拉伦斯：但他还是很生气，不会给他们的。他说，快走吧，最好饿死，快走吧......
佩任：等一下，克拉伦斯（手捂住他的嘴），事情不是这样的。他原谅了他们，并分享了食物，因为他看到神计划了整个事件。因为兄弟们的缘故，约瑟去了埃及，能拯救所有的人免于饥荒。你看，即使我们不知道，神也知道什么对我们是最好的，当我们学会在心里原谅别人时，祂可以为我们做惊人的事。
克拉伦斯：我想约瑟夫原谅他的兄弟是正确的。我最好也原谅比利。也许这样神会帮助我在蛙人游戏中获胜。
佩任：这可不是我想说的，但无论如何，原谅比利是个好的开始。
克拉伦斯：是的，他是我最好的朋友。

POWER OF FORGIVENESS
The story of Joseph, the broken video game, and the power of forgiveness. (Skit for one or two: Person, Clarence.)
TOPICS: Forgiveness, Joseph
MATERIALS: 1 puppet or you can tell the story using two different voices. Skit handout [PDF] Click here
DURATION: Approximately 8 minutes
Person：What's up Clarence? You look a little angry.
Clarence：Humph, I'm not very happy right now.
Person：Well, tell me what happened to make you so unhappy.
Clarence：Last night Billy came over to play with my new Playstation game. It was brand new and he scratched it all up and now it doesn't work anymore.
Person：Well that does seem very unfortunate, but I'm sure Billy didn't mean it.
Clarence：Well he did say it was an accident and he was sorry...but I can't forgive him, it was my favorite game, Frogger!
Person：You know that reminds me of a story in the Bible.
Clarence：Frogger reminds you of a story in the Bible?
Person：No silly, the forgiving part.
Clarence：Oh!
Person：This story was about a young boy who was very special in his father's eyes.
Clarence：Daniel was special.
Person：True, but this is a story about Joseph, one of the 12 sons of Jacob. Jacob loved his son Joseph so much, he made him a very special coat of many colors.
Clarence：I bet it was beautiful.
Person：It was and Joseph loved his coat very much. But his eleven other brothers became very jealous. They didn't get a beautiful coat.
Clarence：So, what did they do?
Person：What they did was very cruel. First they put Joseph in a deep hole to die, but then decided to sell him instead to some merchants traveling to Egypt.
Clarence：I bet Joseph was really angry.
Person：He was at first, just like you are angry now, but he also loved God.
Clarence：So what happened?
Person：Joseph made his home in Egypt and soon became an important person there. One day God told him in a dream that there would be great famine in the land. Do you know what a famine is?
Clarence：I think that is where there is nothing to eat.
Person：That's right and this famine was going to last for seven years.
Clarence：Wow! That's a long time, everyone would starve to death.
Person：Yes, but Pharaoh was no dummy. He let Joseph get ready for the famine by storing large amounts of food to eat later. Finally, the famine came and Joseph's brothers ran out of food....
Clarence：...So they tried to get some food from Joseph?
Person：Yes they did.
Clarence：But he was still angry and wouldn't give them any. Get away he said, starve to death, go...
Person：Hold on Clarence (Hand over mouth), that's not what happened. He forgave them and shared the food because he realized that God had planned the whole thing. Because of his brothers, Joseph went to Egypt and was able to save all of them from starving to death. You see God knows what is best for us even when we don't and when we learn to forgive others in our hearts, He can do great things for us.
Clarence：I guess Joseph did the right thing by forgiving his brothers. I better forgive Billy too. Maybe then God will help me win at Frogger.
Person：Well, that's not quite what I'm saying, but anyway, it's a good start to forgive Billy.
Clarence：Yeah, he is my best friend.
