Phileo: Say, Mario
Mario: Yes, Phileo.
Phileo: You remember last year when you told me that I should read my Bible every day?
Mario: Sure I do, Phileo. Have you been doing it?
Phileo: Uh huh (nodding yes).
Mario: What have you been reading about?
Phileo: Well, I have been reading this really neat story about a body builder named Moses and his ten commandoes. You see, he went up on top of this mountain and …
Mario: (interrupts Phileo) Uh, Phileo … wait a minute. I think you’re a little mixed up.
Phileo: What do you mean, Mario?
Mario: Well, there’s a story about a great man named Moses and the ten commandments, but I never heard of any commandoes. And I don’t think Moses was a body builder.
Phileo: Oh yeah, they were commandoes. And when Moses came down this mountain, see, and everybody was being so bad, he just picked up those commandoes and threw them at the people. He was strong all right.
Mario: Hmmmm. Well I’ll tell you what, Phileo. We’ll just read that story together sometime, OK? What else have you been reading about?
Phileo: Did you know that there were about a zillion kings back in those days?
Mario: Uh huh
Phileo: And there was one king named king Salami, or something like that.
Mario: I think you mean King Solomon.
Phileo: Yeah, and did you know that King Solomon had 700 wives.
Mario: Oh, come on, Phileo. And did he build 700 kitchens, or did they just take turns cooking?
Phileo: Hey, if you don’t believe me, you can read about it yourself.
Mario: Well, it is a little far-fetched. Why would anybody want so many wives?
Phileo: (muttering to himself) I don’t know. Maybe he was hoping that just one of them would be in a good mood when he got home at night.
Mario: Phileo! For heaven’s sakes! Does your Bible say anything about little boys?
Phileo: Oh, yes. There was this little boy named Pinocchio, and he got eaten by a whale named Jonah and…
Mario: (interrupting) Wait a minute, Phileo. I think you got your stories mixed up.
Phileo: (thinking hard) Oh, well. There was this little boy named David, and he took care of sheep and killed a bear with his bare hands.
Mario: Phileo, I think there’s hope for you after all. But it worries me that you were seeing commandoes and body builders. When was the last time your eyes were checked, Phileo?
Phileo: I don’t know.
