(The older brother leaves. Host takes a deep breath and fans himself.) Host: Whew! That was getting out of control! our last guest can straighten all this out. Let’s welcome Mr. Bradley! (The father comes in slowly using a cane. He sits in the empty chair.) Host: Welcome to the show, Mr. Bradley! You sure have two interesting sons. Mr. Bradley: (proudly) Yep, those are my boys! Host: (puzzled) Hmmm…yes. Well, we talked to Junior, and he told us about how he wasted your money living a wild life off in some foreign country. Tell me, how did you feel when he asked for his inheritance early and then skipped town? Were you upset? Mr. Bradley: To tell you the truth, yes. It hurt a lot when he did that. It felt like he didn’t care at all about me or about our family; he just wanted my money. That made me sad and a little angry, but I went ahead and divided all my property between my two sons. Later on, I was just worried about Junior, especially after we heard about the famine. Host: I bet you were. And then one day he came home. Had you been planning what you would do if he ever came home? Mr. Bradley: Well, I don’t think I had planned it, but as soon as I saw him, I just kind of lost my head. He looked so pitiful and dirty and hungry that I couldn’t help but feel compassion for him. Host: were you when you saw him? Mr. Bradley: I was outside. I guess I had taken to watching for him a lot when I was outside working; so that day I was staring down the road as usual, and there he was! He was still a long way off, but I knew it was him. Host: What did you do? Mr. Bradley: I ran! I ran all the way down the road to meet him.
