[_The soldiers bring armor._ SAUL _puts the armor, a helmet and a coat of mail, on_ DAVID. DAVID _puts on his sword, then walks a few steps. He suddenly throws the sword down and begins to take off the armor._] _David:_ I cannot go with these, for I have not proved them. [_He takes the armor off and keeps only his shepherd's staff and sling._] The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. [_He bows to the king and goes out._] SCENE III. THE BATTLE PLACE: The battlefield. [DAVID _picks up five smooth stones and puts them into his shepherd bag._ GOLIATH _comes toward him. He is dressed in armor, and the man that bears his shield comes before him._ GOLIATH _looks surprised and disgusted when he sees_ DAVID.] _Goliath:_ Am I a dog that thou comest to me with staves? Come to me and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air and unto the beasts of the field. _David:_ Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear and with a shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the bodies of the Philistines unto the fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the field, that all may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with the sword and with the spear, for the battle is the Lord's and he will give you into our hands! [DAVID _puts his hand into his bag and takes out a stone and slings it, so that it hits the giant in the forehead. The giant falls. The Philistines flee._ DAVID _stands with his foot on the body of the giant._] _Israelite Soldiers with David:_ The battle is the Lord's! END CHAPTER V THE DRAMATIZATION OF _MOSES IN THE BULRUSHES_ The method of presenting the story of _Moses in the Bulrushes_ differed somewhat from that employed with _Joseph._ There was little need to tell the story at the beginning, for every child already knew it in detail. Consequently the leader had the children tell most of it, while she supplemented and directed attention to important parts. In this case the entire play was planned roughly before any of it was acted. The story was criticized by the children as to its organization and unity, and as a result they made up an ending (Act III) which they felt was needed to make the story complete. Experience with the other plays had led the children to feel the necessity for having a satisfactory ending after the climax.
