About this ebook
Here is a funny fable about Alice Wondrel, a lady who has taken on so much responsibility in her church that she has forgotten why she is doing it all. She is taken away in a whirlwind for an attitude adjustment through encounters with characters of biblical oddity. Grease is the mechanic in the local ghost town. He takes her to see the Mayor who is building a ship in the middle of the desert. The Mayor sends her on a mission with the Gospel Train, but she finds the Conductor and passengers off-putting and suspects she has been caught as a guinea pig for some amusement park. She decides to escape and looks for one of those camouflaged employee exits. This only takes her out to sea on a tug boat with a sea captain reminiscent of Popeye. Soon she is swept overboard and swallowed by a whale. By the time you laugh your way to the end you will find out how this all relates to the committee meeting where she started out. The story is adapted from a hilarious stage play by Mark R. Turner which has enjoyed a few productions over the years. If you contact Turner, he may offer the script for your theater group to produce.
