Transcript:
The Beaglescout sits in the grass looking to his right. He thinks,"It must be almost eight o'clock..."<BR><BR> He watches the troop as they sit around the camp-fire singing. He thinks,"Birds sing weird campfire songs...."<BR><BR> He points to the tent and thinks,"All right, men...into the tent...it's bedtime..."<BR><BR> Woodstock chirps a question from inside the tent. The Beaglescout thinks from inside the tent,"Aren't we going to what?"<BR><BR> He thinks,"Well, sure....we can have a little bedtime prayer if you want to..."<BR><BR> He continues,"Now I lay me down to sleep...I pray the Lord my soul to keep...if I should die before I wake..."<BR><BR> The troops run out of the tent in fear.<BR><BR> The Beaglescout lies at the entrance of the tent and thinks,"Maybe I should just stay with one of the Psalms..."<BR><BR>
This is the version I learned: Now I lay me down to sleep,I pray the Lord my soul to keep,If I should die before I ’wake,I pray the Lord my soul to take.
