LION: OK. NEXT?! Camels- Let's hear your part of the story! (dog, donkey and lion exit
to backstage quietly; other characters sit down.)
CAMELS:
GOLDY: Hi, I'm Goldy
FRANKY: I'm Franky,
MYRRHVIN: And I'm Myrrhvin!
GOLDY: We carried the wise men. Although, sometimes we wondered how wise they were.
Like when (they said they wanted to go follow a star to find the New King,) they said, "Saddle up we're gonna
follow yonder STAR!" You ever followed a star? It's very tricky, one cloudy night - next day
you're in Egypt! -
FRANKY: And then they said Herod wanted to worship the New King... --- Yeah, right! King
Herod wants to get rid of the baby king cause he's jealous!
MYRRHVIN: And he wanted us to traipse all over the country to help him!?
ALL CAMELS: Riiiight...
GOLDY: ...Anyway... It was a long journey... So to pass the time, we made up songs - that's
when things really started happening!!
FRANKY: Remember?
MYRRHVIN: Yeah
