Performance Notes: 

In this post, the performance commentary follows the video (starting at the 01:40 mark). 

I was given the opportunity to tell and teach this story to a group of university professors at the Christian Scholars Conference in Nashville. As I mention in the video, this is a fun story to tell and a fairly easy story to learn—because it’s memorable and because it’s familiar. In about 20 minutes, most people in the group had learned the story and could tell it to one another from memory. It was a delight to watch them enjoy this story together.
