Transcript

Family Theater presents Mona Freeman and Jean Lockhart. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Jean Lockhart in the story of Little Tree. To introduce the drama, your hostess Mona Freeman. Thank you, Tony LaPrano.

Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives. If we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world, Family Theater urges you to pray.

Pray together as a family. Tonight, Family Theater takes great pleasure in presenting the story of Little Tree, starring Gene Lockhart as grandpa. Was that little creek I was telling you about? But hurry!

Hold on a minute now, Betty. That creek isn't going anywhere. But it'll still be there whether we run or walk. Yeah, but running's more fun. That depends on your age. Right now, it'd be fun for me to sit down, rest a bit.

How old are you anyway, Grandma? I'm old enough to know better. No better than to take any of these Sunday hikes with you, young lady. Now, where is this brook you're telling me about? Right over here.

See, just over this bag. Oh, oh, yes. Wow. What a perfect spot to rest. What? Rest again? Well, when did we rest the first time? Well, you were talking about it just a minute ago.

Well, suppose we do it this time. This looks like a good place. This is more like it. Grandpa, can I wade in the water? I better not today, Betty. You remember, we had to promise your mother we'd be careful not to mess up your good clothes.
