ROCKY RUNS AWAY
did? He left his room in a mess and he’s been gone all afternoon!
CRYSTAL Well, I don’t mind cleaning up his messes, but not all the time!
CRYSTAL I sure hope we don’t have any more brothers! (Rocky enters) Oh,
hi, Rocky, we’re just talking about you. I had to clean up your mess
today! I bet that’s why you ran off, just so you wouldn’t have to
pick up all your toys. You’re lazy! I hope we never have any more
SANDY Crystal, you shouldn’t have been so mean to him. You don’t always
have to pick up after him, do you? . . . Well?
across better than I can. (Sandy and Crystal exit)
ROCKY (Enters) Boy, they were sure mean to me! I think I’ll go somewhere,
where people are nice . . . I know . . . I’ll run away from home . . . to
Grandpa’s house! (Exits and reenters with Grandpa) Hi, Grandpa!
GRANDPA That’s strange, I haven’t heard anything from your parents about you
spending the night here! Let me call them to find out why they
didn’t tell me about this!
ROCKY Uh, Grandpa, you really don’t have to call them, do you?
GRANDPA You mean to tell me, you don’t want your parents to know?
GRANDPA Rocky, tell me, are you having problems at home?
ROCKY Well, (looking down) . . . yes, Grandpa. My sisters, I mean,
Crystal was saying bad things about me!
GRANDPA So, you ran away from home . . . You know, this reminds me about a
asked for his possessions and left home. He didn’t know how to use
his money and spent all he had. When he was broke, do you know
what he ended up doing?
GRANDPA In Luke 15:16, it says, “and he would fain have filled his belly with
husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.”
CRYSTAL Well, I guess I was, too! I was upset with you because I had to
clean up your room!
GRANDPA Rocky, your sisters really do love you, but sometimes, they don’t
like the things that you do!
Dad are worried about you, too!
ROCKY They are? O.K.! Let’s go! Bye, Grandpa, and thanks! (All exit)
