Family Theater: One Horse Carousel

Family Theater presents Anne Blythe and Edmund Gwen. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents One Horse Carousel starring Edmund Gwen. And now here is your hostess Anne Blythe. Thank you Tony Lefrano.

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.

And now to our transcribed drama, One Horse Carousel, starring Edmund Gwen as Ben. An ancient philosophy taught that all life is a series of cycles. The philosophy was wrong. But many things of this life are in cycles.

In human relations, for instance, the children learn how to live and work. The adults do live and work. The old people? Well, there are some who only sit and remember, but there are others who complete the cycle.

They try to help the children learn. This is a story about one of those unofficial teachers, a man who sat each day in the village square, sharing with the children of the township his wisdom and, perhaps, too freely, the fruits of his imagination.

Could I have done the things I've done and been the places I've been without it? Not so. No, a man must learn kindness first. It's the kindness that lives. To everybody? To every living thing.

If you'd make your mark in this world and with God, I know. Because he's a friend of mine. God, I'm the friend of yours, Grandfather. I, from the day I was born. You must know everybody in the whole world, Uncle Ben.
