MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Hey Penny! Sorry I was gone
so long.
PENNY:
Hello Mr. Christopher. Did you get your car working
again?
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Well, it’s running…
but I don’t know for how long.Hi, I hope
your day has been more pleasant than mine. I had
some car trouble and had to leave Penny here at
the shop all day while I tried to fix it.
SURFER
BOB: Hey Penny, here’s another little
factoid for ya! I’m gonna go see what else
I can find…
PENNY:
Thanks Bob-o.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: What are you working on Penny?
PENNY:
There was just so much to do today…
so while I worked on sending out these maps, I
had Surfer Bob do some research for us on our
next project.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Oh yeah. I’m trying
to think. It was, um…
PENNY:
You really have had a hard day. You’ve
been looking forward to this one… it’s
on the country of Uganda!
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Ohhhh yes. Perhaps we should
just look at what Bob has surfed up for us. Maybe
that will help my brain wake up a little.
PENNY:
Did that help you Mr. C?
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Yes, now I feel more up to
speed on our research.
SURFER
BOB: Did somebody say speed?! Huh?! I’m
working as fast as I can little Penny! I got a
few more things here for ya. I’ll be back!
PENNY:
Wait Bob…
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: What did you say to Surfer
Bob to make him so hyper?
PENNY:
All I asked was for him to help us out…
that’s all.
SURFER
BOB: OK! OK! I’m helpin’! Good
grief! Here’s some more stuff on Uganda.
Here you go! Now, here I go…
PENNY:
No… wait… Surfer Bob! Can you
find us a video feature too?
SURFER
BOB: Yep…
PENNY:
Great, how about something that deals with
the Ugandan people.
SURFER
BOB: OK…
PENNY:
Oh, and see if it relates to what God is doing
through our missionaries… Did you need something
Bob?
SURFER
BOB: Uhhhh… Nope.
PENNY:
You can go now. I don’t know what’s
gotten into him!
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Hummm… I wonder? How
about while you finish up those packages, I get
started on some of that material Bob has surfed
up for us?
PENNY:
Sounds like a great idea.
SURFER
BOB: …Here’s that Uganda video
feature you wanted… wha… will…
is there… is there anything else Penny?
PENNY:
Thanks Bob. That’s all for now. Oh wait!
I’m running out of packaging material. Can
you order me some more? (Bob groans as he moves
off) Hey Mr. C. If you want to go ahead and play
that feature, just hit the enter key.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: (smiling) How are you today
Penny?
PENNY:
I’m fine. Why? (Penny punches button) Here.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Penny… Penny!
PENNY:
Wha… umm… Oh, sorry Mr. C
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Are you OK? I mean, I come
in here and you’re going 90 miles an hour,
and now you’re sleeping!?
PENNY:
I’m sorry. I’ve been dead tired the
whole day. Last night I stayed up studying…
thinking I could sleep in today – but when
you called this morning and said you couldn’t
come in because of car trouble… I just had
to come in! I kept myself awake just by staying
on my feet!
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: I know how busy we’ve
been, but I would rather you get your sleep than
have you working yourself sick.
SURFER
BOB: Yeah, Penny! Go easy on yourself so
you can go easy on the rest of us! I mean, good
golly! (sigh) I hope you’re done…
‘Cause I’m done. Ahhhhhhh…(snore)
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: I think we’re all done
for the day – now that we know the source
of the Nile river… and our little problem.
But before we go, I wanted to give you our address
just in case you wanted to send us your questions
or comments. Write to us here at Kids On Mission,
PO box 6767, Richmond, Virginia, 23230. We’ll
see you later. (chuckle) Bye, bye.
