"Well..." says Noah as he steps aside "welcome aboard then."
AND NOW.....
"I can't believe the idiot didn't stock up on beer!" says Gav angrily as he banged his fist against the wall. "How much longer do I have to go without another beer?"
"Come Gav, there's nothing you can do now. Just accept the situation for what it is. Deal with it when you're in a position to do something about it and stop worrying what might be. Move on and forget about it till that time."
"You're right, thanks Joseph."
"No probs Gav, happy to help"
"Say, I noticed earlier you cringed when Noah said 'there was no room at the Inn', that have anything to do with your problems?"
"You could say that, in a way." Joseph replied. "You see, it all started when my wife got pregnant."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Not when you haven't slept with her yet it isn't. Y'see, I had my suspicions she was having an affair with someone in town, but she flat out denied it claiming she was a virgin."
"Well that's one of the lamest excuses I've ever heard."
"I stuck by her, but as the months grew, the lies and betrayal grew too much to bear and I had to find out who was the father so I took Mary with me and searched Bethlehem all over.
"I'm impressed you managed to suppress your anger that long."
"It was hard. Anyway, the night grew long and we needed to find somewhere to stay but everywhere was booked up. Time after time we were told there was no room at the Inn, until one kind gentleman let us shelter in his barn. That's why I cringed; it always reminds me of her betrayal."
