Short
A Free One Act Play
Title: Short

Minutes: 2
Sex: 2 males and 0 female
Characters: Tobias - a monk, Monsenior - a monk
Description: Two monks discuss sin vs height
TOBIAS -- Monsenior?
MONSENIOR -- Yes, Brother Tobias?
TOBIAS -- I have made a discovery.
MONSENIOR -- A discovery?
TOBIAS -- Yes, it first began when I was reading Romans 3:23.
See here? All have sinned and fall SHORT.
MONSENIOR -- And...
TOBIAS -- And it got me thinking. What if being short is
punishment for being a sinner.
MONSENIOR -- Excuse me?
TOBIAS -- Look here: (pages turn) Isaiah 59:1: Surely the arm of
the Lord is not too short.
MONSENIOR -- And that means...
TOBIAS -- Well, obviously, Isaiah is saying that the Lord has
long arms, which means he's tall and sinners are short.
MONSENIOR -- Sinners are...
TOBIAS -- Short. It's amazing! When you're looking for it there
it is. (pages turn) Hebrews 4:1 ...let us be careful that none
of you be found to have fallen short.
MONSENIOR -- I'm not sure that SHORT means...
TOBIAS -- See, once you've discovered this tremendous insight,
other scriptures take on a whole new meaning. Like this one,
(pages turn) Proverbs 19:11 A man's wisdom gives him patience.
It is to his glory to OVERLOOK an offense.
MONSENIOR -- Brother Tobias, don't get too excited about this...
TOBIAS -- And this one: (pages turn) Psalm 118:7 The Lord is
with me. He is my helper. I will look in triumph ON my enemies.
MONSENIOR -- Brother Tobias, be careful that you don't...
TOBIAS -- Here's one that will get you thinking: Isaiah 41:10 I
will strengthen you and help you, I will UPhold you with my
righteous right hand.
MONSENIOR -- So what you're saying is that dwarfs and little
people are that way because they're sinful?
TOBIAS -- According to the Bible.
MONSENIOR -- Brother Tobias, this wouldn't have anything
to do with the fact that you're six feet three inches tall
would it?
TOBIAS -- Ah, well, ah...
MONSENIOR -- I have another verse for you to consider.
TOBIAS -- Sure. Why not?
MONSENIOR -- Proverbs 29:23.
TOBIAS -- (pages turn) 29:...23 Here it is: A man's pride
brings him... LOW. (afar) Good night, Monsenior.
MONSENIOR -- (afar) Good night, Brother Tobias.

DARLA -- You ain't bringin' another piece of junk in this house,
Darell.
DARREL -- It ain't junk, Darla. I fixed it. But I haven't been
able to get it to talk yet. They used to use it to entertain the
kids on the midway. So, I know it kin talk.
DARLA -- It's just gonna end up in the attic with the other junk

DARREL -- I can fix it. I can fix anything. (plays with the back
of Android's head)
DARLA -- Even if ya can fix it, Darell, what good is it?

ANDROID -- Born of a virgin, wrapped swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger, because... rid did did did dit... She live in a shoe.
She had so many children she didn't know what to do.
DARLA -- That's real nice, Darrel, but are you sure that's the
way the Bible reads?
DARREL -- Sounds good to me.
ANDROID -- After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea during the
reign of King Herod ... rid did did dit ... he called for his

fiddlers three.
DARLA -- That don't sound right, Darell.
DARREL -- Sounds good to me, Darla.
ANDROID -- Three magi from the east came to Jerusalem....rid did

ANDROID -- And there were shepherds living out in the fields
nearby, keeping watch over their sheep... rid did did did dit
.... with a baa baa here, a baa baa there, here a baa there a

DARREL -- (plays with the back of Android's head) It just needs
a little adjustment, that's all, Darla. There. Let's try that.
ANDROID -- At the wedding in Cana in Galilee, Jesus turned water

ANDROID -- After supper, Jesus and the disciples went out of the
city to the Mount of Olive... Rid did did did dit...Jack fell

no Sunday School!
DARREL -- (plays with the back of Androids head) Don't give up
so quick, Darla. There's some dip switches in here we ain't
tried yet.
DARLA -- Don't bother, Darell. You ain't bringing that THING in
the house.
ANDROID -- (to Darla) I really like your new hair do ...rid
did did did dit... may I help you with the dishes?
DARLA -- On second thought, (takes remote control, exits with
Android) one should always stay abreast of technology.
DARREL -- (follows) Hey, wait a minute, Darla, something ain't
