Transcript

Family Theatre presents Edmund Gwen and Dick Contino. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents the story of Little Tree starring Edmund Gwen. And here is your host Dick Contino.

Thank you Tony LaFrano. Family Theatre'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 theatre urges you to pray. Pray together as a family.

And now to our transcribed drama, The Story of Little Tree, starring Edmund Gwen as Grandpa. Stove this hill is that little creek I was telling you about. Hurry! Yeah, hold on a minute, Janey. That creek isn't going anywhere.

Oh, it'll still be there whether we run or walk. How old are you anyway, Grandpa? Mmm, old enough to know better than to take any more of your Sunday hikes with you young lady. Now, well, where's this book you were telling me about?

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

This was supposed to be doing this time. Yeah, it looks like a good place. Ah, ah, now that's more like it. Grandpa, can I wait in the water? Oh, no, no, no, I'd better not today, Janey.

Remember, we promised your mother we'd be careful not to must your good clothes. Shocks, why does everyone have to get all dressed up? Just because it's Easter. This is a very special day, Janey. People dress up because they're glad it's Easter.
