Silly Song: None

Verse: Proverbs 12:18 "Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."

King George and the Ducky (2000)

King George and the Ducky was released in 2000 on VHS, and on DVD in 2003. Subtitled "A Lesson about Selfishness", it teaches that we must think of others before ourselves. The message is conveyed through a story based on the Biblical account of David and Bathsheba from the Book of Second Samuel. Although the VeggieTales adaptation remains relatively true to the source, Bathsheba is represented by a rubber duck, thus replacing the sin of adultery with the less difficult ideas of coveting and theft. The essence of the story remains intact: King George (Larry) covets something belonging to his neighbor (Junior) and takes it for his own. Later the selfish act is exposed by the prophet Melvin (Pa Grape).

Silly Song: "Endangered Love"

Letters from: Jimmy in Texas (Somewhere); Lucy Thomas in Bismarck, North Dakota

Subtitled "A Lesson in Courage", the story is taken from the Book of Esther in the Old Testament, in which Esther becomes Queen and must tell King Xerxes that his prime minister Haman is plotting to commit genocide against the Jews. However the violence is replaced with banishment to the "Island of Perpetual Tickling," and the intended victims are limited to Esther and her family without reference to their race or creed. The presentation of the story was inspired by The Godfather and Casablanca and has stylistic elements of a Film Noir. The dramatic lighting, deep shadows, dark plot elements, settings, and narrative voiceovers all contribute to the effect.

Silly Song: None

Lyle the Kindly Viking (2001)

Lyle the Kindly Viking was released in 2001 on VHS, and on DVD in 2003. Subtitled "A Lesson in Sharing," it features two short stories about sharing and selflessness.

The main story of the episode is a direct spoof of one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most famous works, The Mikado, as well as the Rocky film series, and The Karate Kid with Larry starring as clown turned sumo wrestler Italian Scallion.
