Whistle Down the Wind Page #4

He looks like another person

who's been crossing the road.

Only you're not a good Samaritan,

are you, David?

No, M... No, Mrs... Miss Lodge.

You'd better go and find

Mrs Reeves and get those clothes dried.

Go on, hurry up.

Right, now let's all pay attention.

Jenny, Robert, this way.

We'll have question time now, shall we?

Has anybody got any questions?

About today's lesson?

- Or anything else?

- Miss?

Yes, Kathy?

What would happen if Jesus came back?

Well, Kathy, of course,

Jesus has never really left us, has He?

He's with us all the time.

Here, in this room,

at home,

everywhere.

- Isn't He?

- Yes, Miss.

Only I mean if He came back

in t'person, like.

Well, for one thing, He'd find a great

many changes, wouldn't He?

Now that's a good one. What sort

of changes would He find? Mm?

- Telly, Wagon Train.

- Beat The Clock.

That's right.

There wasn't any televisin, of course.

But I was meaning other things.

What else can you think of?

- ... final.

- What's that, Jackie? Speak up.

Cup final.

Anybody else?

Cup final, cloth ears.

But what would they do to Him

if He did come back?

If Jesus came back?

I'm afraid the worid hasn't changed

all that much.

There are still bad people

as well as good.

But would they crucify Him?

I suppose some of the bad people

might try.

But this time, all the good people would

have to try even harder to stop them.

We know what we'd do, don't we?

What would we do

if Jesus came back on earth?

What would we do?

Mm?

We'd praise Him, wouldn't we?

What would we do?

Praise Him, Miss.

- Praise Him.

- Praise Him.

It's stopped raining.

Do you think He stopped it, Kathy?

Yes, He could do anything, Jesus.

Do you think He could make me a nice

chocolate cake for me birthday?

- And some chocolate logs, eh?

- No, you mustn't.

Miss Lodge says you've only

to ask Jesus for love and not for things.

Oh, she talks out of t'back

of her neck, she does.

I'd like to see her face when she

knows we've got Jesus in our barn.

- Are we going to tell her?

- No, not till He's ready and better.

Then everybody'll know.

They'll all come and see Him.

- Who?

- Oh, everybody.

Shepherds, wise men, lords, ladies,

bishops and people.

The Mayor of Burnley.

There'll be thousands around

our barn before He's finished.

You just wait and see.

I'll bet you anything you like...

Come on, Charlie.

Don't be so slow.

Hello.

Are you feeling any better, then?

Oh, you've broken your wine.

We brought you that.

And the bread.

Did you?

Mm.

Sorry it wasn't very much.

I didn't bring you any dinner

but I brought you my kitten.

It's name's Spider.

We've not told anyone.

You don't want us to tell nobody,
