The Wooden Truck

(Radio Script: Story Illustrating - John 6: 1-15)


Once there was a poor little boy who had one, favorite
toy: a wooden truck. He would play with that wood
truck for hours. His mother and father would
smile every time they saw him with the truck, because
they knew the boy was happy with what he had.

One day, a friend came to visit the poor boy. The poor
boy was so happy to see his friend. Immediately, the
poor boy brought out the wooden truck to share.

The two friends played and played with that wood
truck for hours. The fun that the boy had alone, now
was fun they shared. Sharing that wood truck was the
poor boy's way of saying "thank you" to his friend for
his visit.

One day, the poor boy's parents received a letter from
a lawyer. The letter informed his parents that they
had just inherited a huge amount of money from an
aunt. The poor boy's family now was rich; the boy
could now afford any toys he wanted. It didn't take
long before the boy wanted them all!

One day, the boy's friend came over to see him. But
instead of the wooden truck, the boy brought out
video games, movies, computer games, skateboards and
so many other things that the boys lost count. The two
went from activity to activity so fast they didn't
have time to think.

At the end of the day after the friend went home, the
boy was putting his toys away.

Suddenly, he found his old wooden truck and he
stopped and thought: "I used to play with this toy for
hours and I had so much fun with it. Today, I played
with so much stuff I'm not such I enjoyed any of it."
So, the boy began to play with his wood toy truck and
got lost in his imagination.
