CAP’N PETE
So what did he ask for? A submarine?
SUNDAY SCHOOL LADY
No, he didn’t ask for a submarine.
CHUCK WAGGIN
I bet he asked to be rich – or famous! That’s what most kings want!
SUNDAY SCHOOL LADY
Yes, that IS what most kings want. But that isn’t what Solomon asked for. No, Solomon asked for wisdom.
IAN
Wisdom? What’s that?
PASTOR PAUL
“Wisdom” – to be wise. The ability to make good decisions.
IAN
What? How boring is that! He could’ve asked for a brontosaurus with headlights!
SUNDAY SCHOOL LADY
When you’re a king, making decisions is everything! Good decisions will help your people. Bad decisions will hurt them! Solomon didn’t want to be a rich king or a famous king. He wanted to be a GOOD king!
CLIVE
I bet God liked THAT request!
BROTHER LOUIE
He sure did! God said, “Since you asked for wisdom, not only will I make you a WISE king, I will ALSO make you a RICH and FAMOUS king!
CLIVE
So he got it all!
IAN
Except the brontosaurus with headlights.
SUNDAY SCHOOL LADY
I don’t think he wanted one of those, Ian.
IAN
Probably ‘cuz he didn’t know they exist.
CLIVE
All right. Let’s let that go, now.
IAN
It’d just be fun – that’s all.
