CAST OF CHARACTERS: Wendy, the cow with Tammy, the Farmer
FARMER: God-fearing man o’ the soil
BESSIE THE COW: Spirit-filled
AS the scene opens FARMER is approaching COW in the pasture. The cow speaks.
COW: Howdy, Farmer! Man, I sure am thirsty. Ya’ know! Like it
Says in Psalm 42:1, the deer and I are panting for water!
Can you give us a drink?
FARMER: Yes Sir! I can give you a drink. Ya’ know, Bessie, Jesus said in
John 7:37, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.”
Here’s ya’ water.
COW: Ya’ know! Them thar’s some powerful words about our Father,
Speaking of the King…
FARMER: The KING?!! Who said anything about Elvis??
COW: Shucks NO, Crazy! I’m talking about Jesus. Anyhow I was in my
stable last night, saying my prayers before I went to sleep.
Farmer, do you know what I prayed?
FARMER: Heck, NO! I don’t know what cows pray for. Shoot! I didn’t
even know cows could talk!
COW: Heck, yeah we talk! I speak cow-Latin. Just learnt how to
Speak English! Anyhoo, I prayed that God would heal me.
FARMER: What the heck’s wrong with �ya?
COW: Well, the last time you milked me, I was sore for near-about 7
days. I’ve been waitin’ on the Lord to heal me. And ya’ know
what happened last night?
FARMER: What’s that, Bessie?
COW: The Lord healed my udders. They don’t hurt no more!
FARMER: It’s a miracle! Thank �ya Jesus!!
COW: That’s right! Praise Jesus. Ya’ know what else God’s taught
Me, Farmer?
FARMER: What’s that, Bessie?
COW: God’s taught me to walk in faith!
FARMER: What do you mean by that, Bessie?
COW: I mean I have faith in God to give you a cramp in your
milking hand!!
FARMER: OOOH!! GOSH DARN IT!!! C-C R A M P!!!!!
COW: Praise Jesus!!!!!!

I think this would be a great “back to school” and/or “Christmas” skit for children or adults. It has a powerful message, full of wit and lots of room for the cow and farmer to express themselves.
I can also see great lines of music with it and ways to keep it short or make it longer with the versus in full.
Wendy, I think you should put this in book form and get out to the schools, hospitals, churches and businesses. I think it would be a winner.
Let us pray for Wendy and her ministry as she develops the many talents that God has given her.
Old MacDonald had nothing on these two. Now if that ol’ cow had THAT much faith how much MORE should WE have who have “lived to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”
Good job, Wendy….uh, I mean Bessie!
This was as fun to read as was to see live….I agree with Sara children and adults will love this,and will be blessed by it …and I do pray God opens these doors for you Wendy….those costums were great too!….dj
GOD HAS COMPLETELY BLESSED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WRITING CHILDREN BOOKS. I’LL BE YOUR AGENT. WHAT OTHER HIDDEN TALENTS DO YOU HAVE.
This is a witty and creative way to Truth across Wendy. Well done and I look forward to more to come.
Skits like these would make great musical comedies for children and young adults, not to mention the YOUNG AT HEART!! I can just see it now: a chorus line of COWS and FARMERS with pitchforks, as back up singers and dancers.
You could hit them with the Gospel right at the grass roots level. PTL That’s good, Wendy. And your co-star Needles does a great supporting role.
Now your next skit will have to be about “nice nurses” or nice “school nurses” if you will. Keep up the good work.
