Written for children of a wide age variety. It represents how our flaws drag us down, but how they can be traded for Jesus' new nature
3 friends are wondering aimlessly from nowhere to nowhere with heavy burdens tied to their feet (anger, fear, depression). Each has a rock tied to them symbolizing their fault and it’s weighing them down Enter a girl headed to a party with only a balloon to carry.
(Depression Sits)
Anger: C’mon man!!?? What are you doing??!!
Depression: I’m so depressed, I can’t go on, I just feel this
weight holding me back
Fear: Ok, let’s just stop here. I’m a little bit scared. This rock is following me and I don’t know where it came from.
Anger: You guys are so annoying! I wanna get there already and I’m sick & tired of being lost
Depression: Well, what’s the big hurry anyway? You get angry about everything. Am I not good enough to make you proud?
Fear: Where are we going?
Anger: Somewhere. Anywhere.
Depression: We’re going nowhere.
Fear: (breaks into tears)
Anger: Dude! You made him cry!
Depression: Great. One more thing to be depressed about.
Fear: I’m so scared! So scared!
Depression & Anger: (to depression) Shut up!!
Anger: You know, if you wouldn’t keep stopping to moap, we wouldn’t be lost anyway
Depression: What?! We’ve been lost since we came from…where did we come from?
Fear: (still crying) NOWHERE!!
Anger & Depression: Oh yeah
Anger: (to depression) Well?
Depression: Well?
Anger: Read the map or something (gives the map to him). I’m not gonna do everything, you know
Depression: I’ not good at maps…I’m not good at anything. Do you wanna make me more depressed than I already am? (burries his face in his hands)
Anger: Ugh! (takes map from him) Look, we came out of…where is it?
Depression: No where, it’s off the map, remember. It’s hopeless
(Fear starts to want to go to the bathroom)
Fear: Guys

Anger: Your depression is gonna make me blow a vessel. Look.
(points at the map)
Fear: Guys…(they keep looking at map) Problem…Big Problem.
Anger: WHAT!!??
Fear: The chilly dog. Gotta-Go-Bathroom!
Depression: Where did you get a chilly dog?
Fear: (points at someone from audience)
Depression: (looks at the person Fear pointed to) Am I not good
enough for a chilly dog? Why? Why???!!!
Anger: Whatever. Go find a tree.
Fear: (just stands there)
Depression: I want to move. My heart is too heavy
Fear: (to anger) Come with me?
Anger: Are you stupid or something! No way!
Fear: Oh please! Please!! There could be a bear or a lion or a monkey! Please, please, please.
Depression: I know how you feel. It’s tragic. I’ll go

Fear: Let’s all go together.
Depression: Yes, lets. (they begin to drag their rocks in an awkward way)
