- [growling, barking] - [bleating]

- [man] See you later, Eli. - Okay, bye.

- Shalom. - Abby, there's your abba.

- Abba, Abba, I have some questions. - [laughs] Why am I not surprised?

- Did you catch a lot of fish? - Yes, I did.

Have you ever caught a turtle?

Turtles live in the Mediterranean, Abby. I fish Galilee.

- We need figs? - Ever caught a shark?

The only sharks in Capernaum are the ones collecting taxes.

Huh?

- Matthew. Getting your steps in? - Oh! Mm.

Hmm? [panting]

Sh... Shalom. [sighs] Mm...

Can I get a dog?

You know my policy about animals in the house that we can't eat.

Dates, Eema?

Need? Yes.

Afford? No.

[Abby] Why did God make wasps?

One moment, honey. Figs?

Lit torches!

Fiery torches!

[Eli] Why would they even sell those?

[vendor] You'd be surprised. People buy 'em.

[Abby] Joshua gets to study the Commandments with Rabbi Josiah.

What does "thou shalt not" mean?

[Eli] Please, stop.

Oh, that makes sense.

No, Abby, I mean, you need to literally stop walking backwards.

You're running into everything.

But when I walk forwards, you and Eema can't hear me.

Abby, we love how curious you are,

but can you save all these questions for later?

It's busy today, and we need to buy food for our family.

Okay, no more questions.

- [sighs] Great. - [sighs]

- [Abby] Just a statement. - [both] Huh?

It is crazy that God made wasps.

I bet we're all wondering why He would do that, so we should talk about it.

[groans]

[gentle music playing]

Abby, I'm a fisherman, not a rabbi.

The synagogue. I'll be back.

[Eema] When you get there, find Joshua and walk him home.

- Should we be concerned? - No, we can see the synagogue from here.

But maybe.

I'm gonna get my answer. Whoa!

- [chuckles] - Is that the ninth one today?

- You think I keep score? - Yes.

Well, you're right. Nine.

Just one more for a clean dozen.

- I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there. - Huh? [groans]

I know what you need.

- You need a home. With me. - Ah!

Where did the ground go?

You're standing there because you don't get the attention you want.

Interesting. She's using you as a proxy to project an inner struggle.

[scoffs] Birds are so dumb.

[Abby] Wow!

Meh. I've seen better.

- Abby? - [Abby shrieks]

Your disguises continue to impress.

Synagogue inspector.

Free menorah!

- [lullaby playing] - [cooing]

Rabbi, I have a quick question about wasps.

- I'm sorry, Abby. Very busy. So much to... - Okay.

How about just one question about three of the Ten Commandments?

[Joshua] Shalom, Abby.

Oh, look, it's your friend Joshua. Bye.

Who have you got there?

- This is Sheep. - [sighs] Lucky guess.

- And Pigeon. - She is on a roll.

Poor thing has one leg.

Yeah, I lost it saving baby birds from a burning nest.

- Wait, is that true? - Maybe.

[lilting music playing]

So, what did they teach today?

The creation.

Did you know that God just said, "Let there be light,"

and the sun happened?

You're lucky you have a teacher.

You're lucky you don't have seven brothers.

I'm pretty sure it's eight.

Wanna go play at our spot?

I don't know. I've got homework.

Plus, you know I'm scared of the wilderness after 3.

[children laughing and shouting]

[sighs]

[yelps then grunts]

- Well, Sheep, it's just you and me. - Ah!

I'm gonna show you a special place.

[Abby humming]

Huh?

[pensive music playing]

- Huh? - Huh.

- Huh? Ooh. - Oh.

- Mm-mm-mm. - No, no, no.

- Mm. No. - Aw.

- [gasps] - [branches rustling]

[Abby gasps]

[panting]

[children laughing and shouting]

Shalom?

Joshua!

So if he's still there, should we say something to him?

I didn't see a sword, so I don't think he'll kill us.

Do you have a sword? You know, just in case?

- A sword? - [laughs]

[Abby] Come on, hurry.

[lively music playing]

Your legs are going too fast!

I think he's building stuff.

And there was some food too. [grunts]

[grunts] Whoo-hoo!

Abby, this isn't safe.

[shouting]

Whoa! [grunts]

[laughing]

- Shh! Get down. - [yelps]

[man humming]

Blessed are you, Lord our God,

that makes us holy, and brings forth bread from the earth.

[suspenseful music playing]

Get down.

[clears throat]

And I pray that if there are ever two children who visit my home here,

you will give them the courage to say shalom

so that they will know they do not have to remain in hiding. Amen.

- Come on. - No.

Let's go.

[man gobbling]

- [laughing] - [blows raspberry]

[laughing]

What's that I hear?

- Sheep don't sound like that. - [Sheep laughs]

It's true. I sound so much worse.

Ooh, I like this guy.

- No, it's definitely not sheep. - [laughing]

- [bleats] - Ah. It was you. [chuckles]

Greetings, children.

- Shalom. - Shalom.

- [angelic music playing] - And shalom, little friend.

[Sheep gasps]

- Ah. This is a good sheep... - [Sheep sighs]

...deep down.

- I have never seen him like this. - [burps]

- [Abby laughs] - And he's back. Mmm.

Thank you. We just became friends today.

I'm Abby.

You know it's not always safe for children or sheep to wander from home.

You never know if there are bad men around.

See? I knew it.

This is my best friend, Joshua.

Shalom, Joshua. I admire your bravery to come here.

You are a good friend. But don't worry, I am not a bad man.

See? I knew it.

Were you purring?

Can't talk. Staring.

You are free to stay if you want, friends, but I have work to do.

- So, what's your name? - My name is Jesus.

- Oh! Where are you from? - Nazareth.

What's the wood for? Is building things how you make money?

Abby, you should not ask that.

I build things and trade them for my food and clothing.

Joshua, ask a question. He's nice.

Um... no, thank you.

Well, I have another question: What are you building there?

A lock and key.

These will be toys.

Wealthy people love decorations and toys for their children.

My family isn't wealthy.

Many times, that's better.

I don't know about that.

[chuckles]

My eema made me this. I named her Sarah.

Oh, that's a pretty doll.

How kind of your eema to make you a doll.

Yeah. Another question. Why don't you just build yourself a house?

I travel. [chuckles]

You ask many questions.

And you answer all of them.

- [gentle music playing] - [laughs]

So you're a carpenter, and you came here to build things?

I came to teach.

Wait, you're a teacher?

Could you tell me why God made wasps? I mean, why would He do that to us?

Every animal has a purpose, even if you don't understand what that purpose is.

Wasps can sting, but fig trees need them to grow fruit.

Oh!

- And nine. - Ow!

So your abba is a fisherman?

How hard he must work. Your eema, too, to care for you.

How did you know my abba was a fisherman?

Lucky guess.

Yeah, they're nice.

They love me, but they don't always listen to me.

Mostly they just tell me what to do.

Ah! And what do they tell you?

Things like, "Abby, be careful! Abby, do your chores!

Abby, don't touch that!"

I get that one a lot.

Just like our Father in heaven has given us the Commandments

to reveal what to do and not to do-

rules that help us to do the least harm and the most good in our lives.

Your parents are teaching all the time.

If you listen, they will teach you to live wisely.

Now, do you remember the Fifth Commandment?

[in unison] Honor your mother and father.

Yes, very good. You've studied.

It's important to respect your parents, to honor them.

You want your parents to listen to you?

How much time do you spend listening to them?

Did you catch any fish?

Do they have free samples here?

Have you ever caught a turtle?

Why do we eat chicken and not rooster?

Why do boys smell?

Why does Eema sometimes scream into a pillow?

- I guess I could listen more. - [Jesus chuckles]

Wise choice.

Now, it will be dark soon. You should be getting home.

Think about how you might honor your mother and father.

[gentle music playing]

[sighs]

- Shalom, Eema, Abba. - [laughs]

There you are. How was your day?

Excuse me. I'd like to ask you something.

[whimsical music playing]

How was your day?

[chuckles] Am I missing something?

- Why, thank you for asking, Abby. - [gentle music playing]

It was busy earlier.

It's difficult to shop and have deep conversations at the same time.

But we do love your unending curiosity, even when things get hectic.

Now here's my question for you:

How about we read a story while the fish cooks?

Whoo! Story time.

- [sighs] This is pretty nice. - Yeah.

[Sheep bleats]

- [bleats] - I found a sheep.

Can I keep it?

He's a good sheep.

- Deep down. - [Sheep bleats]
