Jesus said,
They need not
go away;
you give them
something
to eat.
[Matthew 14:16]
*********************
"LORD?"

"Yes, Peter?"

"What's THIS?"

[SMILE!]
[CHUCKLE!]
"That:
is a paper plate."

"What am I supposed...
ta' DO, with IT?"

[SMILE.]
"You put your food,
on it,
My child."

(Peter grimmaces.)
(He holds the strange,
white, hard thing
at arm's length
away.)
"NO!
I wouldn't DARE!"

[SMILE!]

(Peter gingerly
brings the white,
hard thing to his
nose, and sniffs it.
Then, he taps his
fingers on it.)
"It's.....
it's...very STRANGE!
This is for FOOD?"

[NOD.]
[SMILE!]

"What a strange
thing, this is,
LORD!"

[PATIENT NOD.]

"NO!
I'm sorry......no WAY!
I just can't....
put my FOOD on that!"

"I understand,
My child."

(Peter continues to
look at the strange,
circular thing in his
hand. Then, he
sets his food down,
and with an air of
aversion.....
flings it into the air.)

[CHUCKLE.]
[LOVING GAZE.]

(Suddenly......one of the
kids' dogs, who came along
with the family, sees the
strange white thing floating
through the air.....)

[CHUCKLE!]

(......and jumps up...)

[SMILE!]
[NOD!]

(...and, CATCHES it.)

[BURST OUT LAUGHING!]
[CLAPS!]
"Well done!"
*********************
They said
to Him,
We have only
five loaves
here,
and two fish.
And,
He said,
Bring them
here,
to Me.
[Matthew 14:17-18]

an inventor,
who owned a paper cup
factory next door
to the Dixie Doll Company,
in New York City,
sort'a liked the name....
and, that's the rest
of the story.
