The Star Page #3

I am so glad you're okay.

Do you know how much flying around

l have done looking for you?

I thought that maybe the miller

caught you and was gonna eat you.

Eat me? Yeah, I don't think

he was gonna do that.

You don't know!

He had crazy in his eyes.

So keep it down.

He's still out there someplace.

-Do you think he heard?

-Nah. I think we're good.

This is the last place he'd check.

Nothing special ever happens

in an old shack like this.

The Messiah?

You're saying that baby

is the actual Messiah?

Like from the prophets?

I do need to sit down, actually.

I know. I know how it sounds, but yes.

And God wants you and me to raise him.

Me? Are you sure...

I mean, did the angel mention me?

Well, no, but it's...

Look, I can't raise the Son of God.

He's a king. I'm just a carpenter.

He needs someone with a little

more experience being...

I don't know, king-ish?

I mean, who am I?

You're my husband.

I am so sorry.

This is just so much

to take in right now.

Can I have a little time?

Okay. We got it this time.

We're making progress, though, right?

Hate to say it,

but even if we got you out,

you're never gonna make it

to the royal caravan on that leg.

Dave, look,

I don't want to hold you back.

You fly ahead without me.

l'll catch up once my leg heals.

No. We're in this together,

and I'm not gonna leave you here.

-Friends don't do that.

-Are you sure?

Yeah, and besides,

you'd never make it without me.

I am a bird of the world.

I know how things work out there.

You are a donkey of a barn.

A very small, ill-smelling barn.

-You need me.

-Okay.

So, now what?

Hide out here until your leg heals,

and then just get yourself kicked out.

And we'll be back on track, pal.

Bo, actually.

My name is Bo now. Mary named me.

"BO"

That's got a nice ring to... Wait.

That lady person named you?

I said hide here,

not settle in and get a name.

-Have I taught you nothing?

-No one is settling in, okay?

Once my leg is healed,

it's time for Operation Kick Me Out.

Good. Now, I'm an expert

at this type of thing, so listen up.

Things I found that tend

to tick people off.

Jumping out and scaring them.

Singing really loudly

early in the morning.

Staring at them while they eat.

At the risk of stating the obvious,

a well-placed number two.

Breaking things.

Setting things on fire.

Licking things that

don't want to be licked.

What child is this

Who laid to rest

On Mary's lap

Is sleeping

Whom angels greet

With anthems sweet

While shepherds watch

Joseph.

Are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste

To bring him laud

The babe, the Son of Mary.

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
