Hello my name is Tubby. I live here in this wonderful library and I love to eat books.
I live here with my friends Gumbo and Freckles. "Gumbo, Freckles come out come out wherever you are!"
Over there on that great book is Grand Old Holy. She is really old and wise and tells
Us wonderful stories when she is awake that is.
Oh and we love to sing!
“Hello there! You are back again.?”
“Hi Holy. We really want to hear a story from you. Please tell us one ”
“Alright I will tell you a story from the Bible. But you have to pay listen carefully
Since this is an important story and as always at the end of the story I will ask a question.”
“We promise to will listen carefully.” “All right. A long time ago, The King
Of Egypt had told Moses to take all the Israelites and leave Egypt. The people followed Moses
Out of Egypt. However the King’s soldiers followed them as they were leaving and tried
To kill them but Moses saved them and instead all the Egyptian soldiers died. This story
Is about Moses the law giver. Moses led the Israelites or the Hebrews, Gods chosen people,
To the mountain of Sinai where the Lord had first spoken to him. It took them 3 months
To reach Mount Sinai. There God gave him two tablets with laws also known as commandments
Written on them to him. The first tablet was about the duties of the people towards God.
It said that they must not worship other Gods, they must be respectful towards their parents,
They must keep the God’s name Holy, they must also keep God’s day, the Sabbath Holy.
The second tablet had duties of the people towards each other. It said that they must
Not kill, they must not be unfaithful with each other, they must not steal, they must
Not tell lies, they must not be jealous of other people. That day God made an agreement with his people
that till the time they all faithfully follow these laws, the Ten commandments
As he called it, he too would be there for them protecting them from all harm.
“I hope you were listening carefully. This is my question
How many tablets did God give Moses on the mountain of Sinai?”
“I know the answer to this one. God
Gave Moses 2 tablets on the mountain of Sinai. Why tablets? Didn’t they have books or paper?”
That is absolutely right Tubby. No they didn’t have books in those days. Now
I will go back to sleep. See you children later. Bye bye.”
