Naughty John's Christmas Play

2 mins
380



Two weeks from Christmas, John comes to school and sees his teacher Miss Grossman announcing that a Christmas play will take place in his school. Molly is cast as Mary. Peter, John’s brother, is cast as Joseph. John is given a small role as the innkeeper. He is shocked and starts thinking up ways to make his role bigger. 

Showtime! Everyone lined up on the stage. “Welcome everyone, to our Christmas play,” said Miss Rivers, the principal. John watched Mary and Joseph enter. He watched the play slowly trudge on. Finally, John’s moment arrived. He strode across the stage and waited behind the closed inn door. Knock, Knock! Naughty little John opened the door. There stood Molly simpering away as Mary, and Peter as Joseph.

“Is there any room at the inn?” asked Joseph. Good question thought John. His mind was blank. “Yes,” he finally said. “Come in.” Joseph looked at Mary. The audience murmured. Oops, thought Henry. Oh well. He grabbed their sleeves and yanked them through the door. “But… but the inn’s full,” said Mary. “No, it isn’t,” said the innkeeper.

 “Is too.” “Is not. It’s my inn and I should know. This is the best inn in Bethlehem, we’ve got TVs and beds and-” John paused. “-and computers!” Mary glared at him. Miss Grossman waved frantically from the wings. “This inn looks full to me,” said Mary firmly. “Let’s go to the stable Joseph.” “Oh, don’t go there, you’ll get fleas.” said the innkeeper. “So?” said Mary. “I love fleas,” said Joseph weakly. “And it’s full of manure.” “So are you.” Mary snapped.

 “Don’t be horrid, Mary,” said the innkeeper. “Now sit down and rest your weary bones and I’ll sing you a song.” And the innkeeper started singing: “Ten green bottles, standing on a wall. And if one green bottle should accidentally fall-” “OOOH!” moaned Mary. “I’m having a baby.” “Can’t you wait until I’ve finished my song?” snapped the innkeeper. “NO!” bellowed Mary. “Come on Joseph, we’re going to the stable.” “You’re making a big mistake,” said the innkeeper. “We’ve got satellite TV and……..” Miss Grossman ran on stage and nabbed him. “Merry Christmas,” shrieked John as she yanked him off-stage. Could he help it if a star was born?
