Light

Scene 1:
(Earth)

Someone supposedly powerful: Let there be light!

People: Wow! There would be light now?

Someone supposedly powerful: Oh Yes!
-----------*****-----------
Scene 2:
(Sky)

Light (In a whisper): Is that my entry now? Did he say light? Or was it ‘night’?

Someone else 1 (Whisper in a lower volume): Oh, did he say light? Or night? He wasn't loud enough!

Someone else 2 (Whisper in an even lower volume): But then, it already is night, for it is only darkness all around! He must have said light...

Someone else 1: Please be a little louder someone else 2, I spoke in a lower volume and you spoke in a volume even lower... I couldn't hear you... Did you say anything at all?

Someone else 2 (A little louder whisper): Yes I did, I said "But then, it already is night, for it is only darkness all around! He must have said light..."

Someone else 1: I think he is right...

Someone else 2: I think I am right...

Light: Okay! Let me go now! Any idea when the next bus is, to earth?

Someone else 1 & 2 (In unison): In another 2 minutes...

Light: In another 2 minutes?

Someone else 1 & 2 (In unison): In another 1.5 minutes!
-----------*****-----------
Scene 3:
(Earth)

People (at Someone supposedly powerful): Where is light? Where is light?

Someone supposedly powerful: Erm, ah... (Once again, in a louder voice) LET THERE BE LIGHT!

People (among themselves): Whisper, light, whisper, slice cake, whisper, coffee, whisper, whisper, mineral water...

Scene 4:
(On the bus from sky to earth)

Light: I am running late! One ticket to earth please...

(Sits at a window seat, stares outside the window, dozes off very soon, dreams of a weird bull with 4 unequal sized horns chasing him round and round - around a thorny bush)
-----------*****-----------
Scene 5:
(Earth)

Someone supposedly powerful: There comes light! There he is! Ha ha ha!

People: Yay yay yay! There is light! He has taken a little more than eight minutes to reach here after he was summoned, but he has reached here safe! So yay yay yay again!

Someone supposedly powerful (With obvious relief on face): Oh Yes! Yay yay yay!

People: (Some pat on Someone supposedly powerful's back to show their appreciation) God job! Great job!

Someone supposedly powerful: Thank you! Thank you!

People: Now we take your leave. We need to go invent electricity and then the T.V and watch lots many shows on it! Good bye!

Someone supposedly powerful: Oh! That’s good to know! All the best! Good bye!
