A Shepherd Tells His Mother
Luke: Ma, Ma! You’re not going to believe this!
Luke’s mother was a wise old bird. Not easily ruffled, or indeed, hoodwinked.
Mother: Luke, do you know what time it is?
Luke: Ma, come here. Come here. Look, look!
Luke: Out here, on the step. Look at that sky! Look at that sky!
Mother: Very nice, now do you want a snack before you turn in?
Luke: Mum! The sky!
Mother: We’re all out of figs but I could do you your favourite – fish and grapes.
Luke: That star, Ma. Look - I’ve seen him.
Mother: Him? Him?
Luke: The Messiah! That’s his star; he’s in a stable.
Mother: The Messiah, in a stable? Come on, Luke, you’ve had a hard day...
Luke: He’s a beautiful baby boy, Mum. Scrunched blue eyes and no teeth!
Mother: Sounds like your father.
