NARRATOR:

In the beginning there was desolation, chaos and definitely no        temperature control. Amidst the raging waters, God moved. God        decided it was time to create. (Unveil fridge, lights still off)

VOICE:

Let there be light! (Open fridge door)

NARRATOR:

Then God separated the light from the dark and he called the light        Open (Open fridge door) and the darkness Shut. God was pleased with what he was creating and named it the Fridge.

REFRAIN:

Evening passed and morning came, that was the first day.

NARRATOR:

Then God commanded,

VOICE:

Let there be a division between the cold waters and the very cold        waters. The very cold waters should be above the other waters (Open        freezer compartment) and this division shall be called the Freezer        Compartment.

NARRATOR:

God was pleased with what he had created.

REFRAIN:

Evening passed and morning came, that was the second day.

NARRATOR:

By the third day God was really rolling.

VOICE:

Let there be divides within our fridge so that the water can come        together in one place. (Add crispers, defrosting trays, shelving etc to        fridge)

NARRATOR: God called these divides Crispers and Defrosting Trays. God created

other divisions so that there was order and everything would be in its        proper place.

REFRAIN:

God was pleased with what he saw.

VOICE:

But it's empty! Let the divides be filled with all kinds of plants (Put        vegetables in fridge) and fruit (Put fruit in fridge), each in their proper        place according to temperature.

NARRATOR:

God looked around at what he had created and he was very pleased.

REFRAIN:

Evening passed and morning came, that was the third day.

NARRATOR:

Then God said,

VOICE:

Let us put a little man inside our fridge who can turn the light on and off.

NARRATOR:

So the light ruled when the fridge was open and the little man when the        fridge was shut. (Open and shut fridge to try and see little man) God        also put other gauges inside fridge to determine temperature. (Indicate        gauges) God looked at what he had made and was pleased with what        he saw.

REFRAIN:

Evening passed and morning came, that was the fourth day.

NARRATOR:

Then God commanded,

VOICE:

Let the freezer be filled with all kinds of fish from the sea and birds from        the chookyard.

NARRATOR: So frozen chickens, fish fingers and seafood of all kinds (Put frozen

chickens, fish fingers and seafood etc in freezer when mentioned), also eggs, salad dressings, beverages and all kinds of leftovers (Put eggs, salad dressings, beverages and leftovers in fridge when mentioned) filled the fridge. God was pleased with what he had made.

REFRAIN:

Evening passed and morning came, that was the fifth day.

NARRATOR: Then God put all kinds of animals, both large and small, in the fridge

(Put hamburgers, meats etc in fridge), and every kind of dead thing. All        kinds of ecosystems were created. (Open one of the containers of        leftovers and look disgustedly at the contents, hold noses)

REFRAIN:

God looked around at his creation and saw that it was good.

NARRATOR:

Then God commanded,

VOICE:

We shall give this creation to the people to look after and to be good        stewards of it.

NARRATOR:

God gave the humans strict instructions not to abuse the fridge       (Person just about to kick fridge looks guilty), and not to misuse it as a        resource, and that they were responsible for the maintenance and        cleaning (Clean outside of fridge) of the fridge. He said to them:

VOICE:

Defrost the freezer regularly. (Open freezer and check it, give thumbs        up sign)

REFRAIN:

Do not let the fridge temperature rise above 3 degrees Celsius, (Check        fridge gauges) and keep the freezer temperature between -7 and -5        degrees Celsius.

VOICE:

Do not let CFCs escape from the fridge and mix with the rest of my        creation. (Check rear of fridge, look puzzled and shrug)

REFRAIN:

Observe the use-by dates on all animal and plant life within the fridge       (Check use by dates on some things in fridge, open leftovers again and        discover they have become even fouler, throw leftovers and a couple of        other items away, leaving fridge door open), only eating those that are        within the use-by date,

VOICE:

Do not leave the fridge door hanging open (Realise fridge door is open        and quickly shut it, looking guilty), especially in summer.

REFRAIN:

Leave all service problems to the qualified technician (Person just about        to attack fridge with a screwdriver looks guilty and tries to hide it) he        would be sending later.

NARRATOR:

God was very pleased with what he had made, and declared,

VOICE:

This fridge is good.

REFRAIN:

Evening passed and morning came, that was the sixth day.

NARRATOR:

On the seventh day, God looked at his fridge and was still pleased. He        knew that humans would look after the fridge, so (optional: at the West        end of the day), he rested. And he told humans to do the same. (Two        people sit down in chairs with cans of beer/drink, all exit)
