The Shavuos That Almost Wasn't
Narrator: It was the third night of the omer, and
the Goldberg kids were
watching television.
Dad G: O.K. kids, we'd better count now before we forget.
Kid 1: Don't worry dad, we'll count right after "Prince of Bel
Aire" is
over.
Mom G: Well, o.k. but let's not forget!
Narrator: The Golberg family never did count that third night. The
next
night, at the home of the Klines, they were watching a video.
Dad K: O.k. kids, its time to count the omer.
Kid 2: Oh, come on dad, the killer whale is just about to attack
New
York City.
Mom K: Well, children, you better not forget. I'm depending on you
to
remind me.
Kid 3: Sure, mom, we won't forget.
Narrator: That night at the Kline home, the 4th night was not
counted
either. A few weeks later, on Lag B'Omer night, there was a great big
party for Mr. and Mrs. Glitz, for their generous contribution to the
community basketball court.
Speaker 1: This day we celebrate the great contribution of the
Glitz
mishpacha to our community. Without the generous support of the
Glitzes,
we wouldn't have nearly all this glitz and glick.
Speaker 2: I remember the Glitzes when we were young. I never
thought
we'd be here tonight celebrating their magnanimous contribution to the
community.
Kid 4: Ah, excuse me, Sir. Don't you think we should count the omer
now?
Speaker 3: Don't worry kid, we'll do it as soon as we finish our
speeches.
Kid 4: How many more speeches are there?
Speaker 3: Well, there's Mr. Glitz's 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Glitz's
shopper, their housekeeper, and the dog show, and then maybe we can
squeeze it in between the jazz singer and the magic show.
Kid 4: (disappointed) Oh boy!
Speaker 3: Excuse me, but I have to go speak. I would like to say
that I
have known Mr. & Mrs. Glitz since I was born, the were like my own
parents.
1st grade teacher: Mr. Glitz was the smartest kid in my class, he
was
so smart that he did 5th grade work.
Narrator: After Mrs.Glitz's shopper, & their house keeper,
& their dog
show, & the jazz singer, & the magic show, they never had time to
count
the omer. That is how there almost wasn't Shavuos. |
