Тихая ночь несовершенных планов: Рождественская пьеса с душой и юмором

Excerpt from Scene 1: "Outstanding in Their Field"YOUNGEST SHEPHERD (tired):Well, that took forever.OLDEST SHEPHERD (grumpy):Maybe if you had made sure the pen was closed, we wouldn’t have spent all night gathering the flock together and abiding in this field.YOUNGEST SHEPHERD (confused):What does abiding mean?OLDEST SHEPHERD (dry):It means freezing.MIDDLE SHEPHERD (thoughtful):To be a good shepherd means making sacrifices....and “abiding” doesn’t mean that.YOUNGEST SHEPHERD (complaining):How are we supposed to watch over the flock by night? I can’t even see the flock; it’s pitch black out here, and the smallest one is still missing...MIDDLE SHEPHERD (gentle):Sometimes, no matter how well you plan, God has other ideas.
