00:00Danger lurks in the big city.
00:04Disaster waits in every dark alley.
00:07Peril behind every park bench.
00:09The world needs a hero!
00:11But not just an ordinary hero, no!
00:14A special hero!
00:16A superhero!
00:18I am that hero!
00:21They call me Larry Boy!
00:24Whatever there is trouble, I'll be there!
00:30Whatever a helpless vegetable calls out, I will answer!
00:34Evil-doers beware!
00:36You are no match for the awesome power of Larry Boy and his...
00:39super suction ears!
00:44You doubt?
00:45A demonstration!
00:55Um, hi kids!
00:58I'm Bob the Tomato,
01:00and I think that's Larry the Cucumber.
01:03I'm Larry Boy!
01:04Who are you?
01:05Larry, it's me, Bob!
01:07Bob?
01:08Bob? I don't know Bob!
01:10Hey there, citizen!
01:12Would you give me a hand with my super suction ear?
01:14It seems to have malfunctioned.
01:16Uh, okay.
01:18What do I do?
01:19Well, it's just that I'm afraid it's about to let...
01:24go.
01:25Ouch.
01:26Wow!
01:27I didn't know being a superhero could be so painful.
01:30Maybe you should just go back to being plain old Larry.
01:34But I don't want to be plain old Larry anymore.
01:37Why not?
01:38Well, there's nothing special about plain old Larry.
01:42He can't do anything neat like fly or save people or anything.
01:46He's just plain old boring.
01:49Oh, not feeling very special, huh?
01:52Nope.
01:53Nope.
01:54Hmm.
01:55Hey, I know!
01:56What?
01:57I could...
01:58Ah! Larry!
01:59You got my...
02:01Bob?
02:02Bob?
02:03Pull back! Pull back, Bob!
02:07Um, well, what I was going to say is that we...
02:12Ah-choo!
02:13Ow! That smarts!
02:15Hey, look!
02:16I'm a Lego round.
02:19As I was saying, we just got a letter from Myra Eggleston of Youngstown, Pennsylvania.
02:25Now, Myra has a lot of brothers and sisters, and they're all bigger than she is.
02:30She says that they can do really neat things like play soccer and dance ballet, but Myra's too little.
02:37So Myra wants to know what's special about her.
02:41Oh, Myra, I know how you feel.
02:44Well, Myra and Larry, I'm going to tell you a story about a boy named Dave.
02:55Now, Dave lived in a land called Israel a long, long time ago.
03:00So long ago that there weren't any cars or telephones or vacuum cleaners or anything.
03:06There were mostly just sheep, especially around Dave's house, because Dave was a shepherd.
03:13No, no, that's not him. That's one of his brothers.
03:17Nope, another brother.
03:19Uh, nope, another brother.
03:22Dave had a lot of brothers.
03:24Aha! There he is!
03:26No, not the sheep. He's behind the sheep.
03:29Shoo there, Fluffy!
03:34Hi, I'm Dave. I have a lot of brothers.
03:38Yep, seven to be exact.
03:41Now, Dave and his brothers spent most of their time in the fields taking care of their sheep,
03:46which could be hard work because their sheep had an unusual problem.
03:50They tip over.
03:52Oh, look. That guy's one now.
03:55But Dave had an even bigger problem.
03:58You see, of all the brothers, he was the smallest.
04:01That's right. Everybody's bigger than I am.
04:05And sometimes his big brothers would pick on him.
04:09Oh, Dave, one of my sheep fell over. Would you come pick it up for me?
04:14I'm kind of busy right now.
04:17Do you remember the time we dipped you in tar and stuck you to the backside of an angry water buffalo?
04:22I'll be right there.
04:25Hey, Dave, one of my sheep fell too.
04:29Just a minute.
04:32Oh, look. All of my sheep fell over.
04:35Dave?
04:38Oh, Dave, after you pick up our sheep, could you run and get me a bite to eat?
04:43I'm famished.
04:45Oh, yeah. Me too. Get me something too.
04:47You know, sometimes I think I could eat a whole camel.
04:51Oh, yeah? Well, sometimes I think I could eat a whole spaceship.
04:55What's a spaceship?
04:57I have no idea.
04:59That's how things had pretty much always been for Dave.
05:02Nothing really exciting happened around there until one day when their dad, Jesse, came running out with some horrible news.
05:12Whoa. Dave, could you pick those up?
05:16Oh, boys. Oh, boys. I got horrible news.
05:20The Philip beans are attacking.
05:27The lima beans are, uh, lacking?
05:31The nectarines are quacking?
05:34One more time, please, and let's work on our enunciation.
05:39The Philistines are attacking!
05:50Uh, Bob, what are the Philippines?
05:53The Philippines are a group of islands off the coast of Southeast Asia, but that's not important now.
05:59The Philistines were people who hated Israel.
06:02They wanted to take Israel's land and make the Israelites their slaves, so they'd have to do whatever the Philistines told them to do.
06:09Oh, that's bad.
06:11You're right. So the Israelites needed to protect themselves.
06:15We need to protect ourselves, but how?
06:19King Saul is putting together an army to stop the Philistines.
06:24He needs your help. You must help save Israel!
06:28We must help save Israel!
06:38Hey, Dave, where do you think you're going?
06:42I must help save Israel!
06:46It's very nice that you want to help, but saving a country is a big thing.
06:52You're a little guy. Big people do big things, and little people do little things.
06:59So, stay with the sheep.
07:01But...
07:09They're big.
07:11I'm little.
07:13I'm little.
07:15They go.
07:17I twiddle.
07:20Why can't little guys do big things, too?
07:30By the time Dave's brothers arrived at King Saul's camp, battle lines had been drawn between the Philistines and the Israelites.
07:38And, as was the custom in their day, the armies lined up and yelled at each other.
07:44Arise, Israelites! You are thieves!
07:47And soon we will put apples in your mouths and stick you in our toaster ovens!
07:52Yes, after we defeat you, you will be our slaves and you will have to fetch us our slippers!
07:58Yes, and iron our trousers!
08:00And wipe our little noses!
08:03And scratch that spot on our backs we cannot reach, no matter how hard we try!
08:11Don't you have anything to say?
08:14Um, do you guys have any fried chicken? I've got a real hankering for fried chicken.
08:20Yeah, me too.
08:22This is going to be easier than we thought.
08:25You know, I think I can save us all a lot of time.
08:28How about if we bring out our strongest man and you bring out your strongest man and they will fight?
08:33If our champion beats your champion, you will be our slaves.
08:37But if your champion defeats ours, we will be your slaves. What do you think about that?
08:42Well, the Israelites were getting kind of tired of the yelling and the Philistines did seem a little on the small side.
08:49So King Saul agreed.
08:51That seems like a reasonable idea.
08:54Alright, we agree. Send out your champion!
08:58Hegeliah!
09:24Who will I fight?
09:30The Israelites were so terrified of Goliath that they all ran away and hid.
09:35Nobody will fight. I'll come back tomorrow.
09:39And that's exactly what he did.
09:41Goliath came back the next day,
09:44and the next day,
09:46and the next day,
09:48and the next day,
09:50and the next day,
09:52and the next day,
09:54and the next day,
09:56for forty days.
09:58But every time he showed up, all the Israelites ran away and hid.
10:02Finally, Jesse started to worry about his boys,
10:05so he sent little Dave to the battlefield with some food.
10:10Now Dave got to King Saul's camp just about the time Goliath was going to come out,
10:15so all the Israelites were hiding.
10:19Hello?
10:21Is anybody here?
10:23Shh! He'll hear you.
10:26Who?
10:28Him! That big pickle over there.
10:33Who will fight me?
10:35Well, who's going to fight him?
10:38What are you, nuts? He'd have us for lunch.
10:41Speaking of which, what'd you bring us?
10:44Here you go.
10:48Mmm! Pizza!
10:50Oh, cheese in the crust! That's tremendous!
10:55Come on, guys! Have you forgotten?
10:58We're the children of God!
11:00The what?
11:01The children of God.
11:03The Bible says that the Israelites were God's chosen people.
11:07God led them through the desert,
11:09he helped them walk across the Red Sea,
11:11and whenever they went into battle, God was there with them.
11:15They'd always known that if God was on their side, no one could stand against them.
11:20Wow!
11:21But King Saul and his men were so scared of big, tall Goliath,
11:26they forgot that God was even bigger.
11:29Oh, dear.
11:30Uh, Larry, you've got something on your, uh...
11:34Huh?
11:35Oh, never mind.
11:37Once again, no one would answer Goliath's challenge.
11:42Oh, no one to fight.
11:45They told me that you are the children of God.
11:49You are cowards.
11:51I come back tomorrow.
11:54I can't believe you're letting him say that!
11:57Somebody's gotta do something!
12:01What are you gonna do, Dave?
12:03Remember, you're a little guy!
12:05Leave this big stuff to us big people!
12:10You think he saw me?
12:13No, you're okay.
12:15Phew!
12:16Well, Dave knew exactly what he had to do,
12:19so he went straight to King Saul and announced his plan.
12:23I will fight Goliath!
12:26King Saul took the news rather well.
12:29I'm sorry, my ears must be failing.
12:32I could have sworn I heard you say that you'd fight Goliath,
12:36but you didn't say that, did you?
12:39Yes, I did!
12:41Oh, I say, that's very kind, but let's be reasonable.
12:47You are a tiny little fellow, and, well, Goliath is enormous.
12:53No, no, no, no, that's a job for a big person,
12:56not a little boy like you.
13:01You're not going to sing, are you?
13:06Couldn't you just play your harp and I'll throw things at you?
13:10Oh.
13:12You're big, I'm little.
13:15My head only comes to your middle.
13:18But I say, little guys can do big things, too.
13:22Yes, but Goliath, he's...
13:24He's big, but God's bigger.
13:27And when I think of him, the twin will figure.
13:30With his help, little guys can do big things, too.
13:37Oh, I see what you're saying.
13:41All right, I understand. Now let's suppose that this is true.
13:44You still look rather weepy, but I know what we can do.
13:47Just step behind this curtain. It will only take a minute.
13:49There's a closet in the corner, and you'll like what I've got in it.
13:52You'll find my royal armor there. Now, Dally, put it on.
13:54Yes, now you'll look much bigger when the battle lines are drawn.
13:57One more thing you'll need, I think. Pick up my royal sword.
13:59It's a big one and a beauty. The best we could afford.
14:02Once you've got it all together, I think you will agree.
14:04You're bound to do much better if you try to look like me.
14:15Oh, dear.
14:17You know, I think maybe I should just be plain old me.
14:21Oh, yes, well, I suppose.
14:25But have you seen Goliath? Why, he's... he's just... he's...
14:30He's big, but God's bigger.
14:33And when I think of him, that's when I figure.
14:36With his help, little guys can do big things.
14:39With his help, I know I can do big things.
14:42With his help, little guys can do big things, too.
14:52All right, if you're sure you know what you're getting into.
14:56Oh, dear.
14:59Well, Dave wasn't exactly sure what he was getting into,
15:03but he knew God would be there with him.
15:06So he went down to a stream and found five smooth stones.
15:10Then he went back to the camp and waited for Goliath.
15:15Who will fight me?
15:18I will fight you, Goliath.
15:22You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say that sounded like a good idea.
15:27I'd say that sounded like Dave.
15:29Oh, yeah.
15:34You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say that looks like Dave.
15:40Huh?
15:42Dave?
15:45Goliath was equally surprised.
15:48Who said that?
15:50I did.
15:53Whoa, am I a dog that you come at me with sticks?
16:01I don't exactly know what you mean.
16:05But you are not a dog.
16:07You are a really big guy that wants to beat me up.
16:11And I come at you not with sticks,
16:14but in the name of the God of Israel,
16:17who this day shall help me defeat you.
16:22We will see who defeats who.
16:25Now we fight.
16:29It's show time.
16:47It's show time.
17:17It's show time.
17:19It's show time.
17:21It's show time.
17:46The Philistines were so scared of Dave
17:49that they all ran away and hid, and Israel was saved.
17:57And that's the story of Dave,
17:59a really little guy who did a really big thing.
18:20Well, what did you think of the story?
18:23Oh, my goodness, that was amazing.
18:26Dave was just a teeny little guy,
18:28but he beat Goliath, who was the biggest, strongest guy they'd ever seen.
18:32Oh, my, I laughed, I cried.
18:35It moved me, Bob.
18:37Well, good.
18:39It's time to talk about...
18:41It's time to talk about what we learned today.
18:45Uh, Bob?
18:47Uh, Bob?
18:49Why are you whispering?
18:51Because whenever I say that, that song plays.
18:54What song, Bob?
18:56You know, the What Have We Learned song.
18:59Oh, you mean the song that plays every time you say,
19:02and now it's time to talk about what we've learned today?
19:05And so what we have learned applies to our lives today,
19:09and God has a lot to say in his book.
19:13Yep, that's the one.
19:15Kind of catchy, isn't it?
19:17You see, we know that God's word is for everyone,
19:22and now that our song is done, we'll take a look.
19:27Now, in our story, no one thought David could do anything important.
19:31After all, he was just a little guy.
19:34Why, even King Saul tried to change David by putting his own armor on him.
19:39It kind of reminds me of another guy
19:41who thought he had to put on a costume to be special.
19:44Yeah.
19:46But David loved God, and he knew that even though he was small,
19:49God could help him do big things.
19:52I'll say. He took on that old Goliath
19:54when all the other guys were too scared to try.
19:57But that's not all, Larry. David went on to be the king of all Israel.
20:01Wow, that's pretty good for a little guy.
20:04Well, that's pretty good for any guy.
20:06Yeah.
20:07Well, if God can help David do big things even though he was little,
20:11then I sure don't need to dress up like a superhero to be special.
20:14Nope. Larry, you're special just the way you are.
20:18Aw, thanks, Bob.
20:20Hey, let's see if Qwerty has a verse for us.
20:23Okay.
20:25Qwerty, do you have a verse for us?
20:37Oh, great, because I've always wanted to be a chicken.
20:39Do you think God would turn me into a chicken?
20:41No, no, no, no, no, no. That's not what the verse means.
20:45It's not?
20:46No. It doesn't mean that we can just do whatever we want to do.
20:49It means that anything that God wants us to do, we can do.
20:53Oh.
20:54You see, God wanted the Israelites to win that battle,
20:57but that meant that someone had to fight Goliath.
21:00Even though David was just a kid,
21:02he knew that if God wanted him to beat Goliath, he could do it.
21:06That showed just how much David trusted God,
21:09and that's why he became such a great king for Israel.
21:13Wow. So anything God wants me to do, I can do.
21:17That makes me feel pretty special.
21:19And, Myra, I hope that makes you feel pretty special, too.
21:23Uh, one more question, Bob.
21:26What's that, Larry?
21:27Um, does this mean that I can't pretend I'm Larry Boy anymore?
21:30Larry, as long as you feel okay about plain old Larry,
21:34because plain old Larry is very special,
21:37you can pretend to be whoever you want.
21:39Oh, great.
21:40Well, we're out of time for today.
21:42Remember, God made you special, and he loves you very much.
21:46Bye!
21:48I'm just going to hang out here for a while.
21:50Oh. Okay.
21:56The world needs a hero.
21:58I am that hero.
22:00They call me Larry Boy.
22:03Larry Boy!
22:11Bob?
22:13Bob!
22:17Could you, uh, could you give me a hand?
22:23Hey there, citizen!
22:25Hey, hey, you over there!
22:29Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me!
22:34Bob!
22:36Oh, dear.
22:39Ouch.
