BDJ and the Druids

There came to pass that rumors of non-believers reached the ears of Baby Dinosaur Jesus. His apostle, Joe, sayeth to him: "o Baby Dinosaur Jesus! We have heard of strange persons in the lands of Ire and Scot. These persons wear long grey dresses and grow long grey beards and sit around humming slightly. Thinketh thou that they could use the benefit of your teachings, oh great and wise one?"

And BDJ thought this over and nodded his ascent, for he had been considering where to next bring his message. In sooth these persons of the land of Ire and Scot needed just such a savior as BDJ was. So BDJ set off to the north with his apostles, James' Son, Jack and Val.

The four traveled for 9 and 60 days and nights and the journey was seldom easy, but often productive. They came upon many peoples who were glad to accept the Baby Dinosaur Jesus into their hearts and help the weary travelors. And, of course, every Day of Satur, they would rest and celebrate the glory of Him.

Presently they came upon the land of Scot and there they found many men in long grey dresses and long grey beards sitting around a henge humming softly. And Baby Dinosaur Jesus roared a mighty roar. And the men in dresses continued to sit around and hum.

Baby Dinosaur Jesus bade his apostles to go forth and find some such thing as would bring these men out of their trance. So Jack, James' Son and Val fell to searching the surrounding area and soon they came upon great wood barrels wherein they found a strange liquid made from grains. Jack then lowered his head into one barrel and taketh a sip. "Praise Baby Dinosaur Jesus" sayeth Jack, "Tis a healthsome liquid. It produces such euphoria as our holy waters which we use to celebrate the sabbath!"

And sayeth BDJ: "Taketh this strange drink and feed it to the humming men. Mayhap it shall wake them from their trance and breathe into them some life."

And so it came to pass that BDJ and his apostles helped the grey men to drink from the barrels. And no sooner had the liquid passed their lips did the men stand up and dance.

One of the men approacheth the Baby Dinosaur Jesus and he said to him "Praised be ye who hath opened our eyes to the life giving qualities of our distilled grain, which shall henceforth be known as The Water of Life, or Whiskey. We are forever indebted to you and shall follow your word with pleasure and rejoicement for it is clear that you are great. Consider now all the druids in the land of Ire and Scot your humble followers"

And thus did the Baby Dinosaur Jesus save the druids. And, as they were indeed very loyal followers, BDJ declared that whiskey be counted a holy drink to be imbibed on the Holy Day of Satur.
