Joseph's Dream - monologue
Genesis 37:1-11

( We used a large piece of black felt placed on the floor to simulate a pit.)

        My names Reuben. Rather than kill Joseph, I convinced my brothers to throw him into this pit. I was going to come back for him. Joseph was a tattle tale always ratting out on us his brothers. But he was fathers favorite, born to Jacob in his old age. Jacob gave him that brightly colored coat, that proved he was his favorite.
        It was those dreams of his. That's what finally did it. His dream about the Sheaves of grain. That was the last straw so to speak. "Listen to this," he proudly announced. "We were out in the field binding sheaves, and my sheaf stood up, and your sheaves all gathered around it and bowed low before it!" Can you imagine, the nerve. "So you want to be our king, do you?" we shouted at him.
        That wasn't it though he had another dream and boasted to us about it. "The sun, moon and eleven stars bowed low before me!" He didn't just boast this to us but to father as well. He rebuked him "What is this, shall I indeed, and your mother and brothers come and bow before you?" I and my brothers were fit to be tied, but Jacob he pondered over it , wondering what it all meant.
