a faith healer is addressing his audience, convincing them of the benefits of faith and prayer as a means of curing the sick. he asks for volunteers from the audience so that he can demonstrate his powers. two young men come forward
'what ails you, son?' says te healer to the first man, named Robbie
'i h-have a b-b-bad s-s-s-stam-m-m-m-mer,' is the reply
'and you?' the healer says to ken, the second man, who leans unsteadily on wooden crutches
'I’ve been a partial cripple since birth.'
'now,' says the healer, 'I will show you how the power of our lord will help you overcome your illness.' he lays one hand across Robbie’s mouth, and the other on kens leg, and encourages his audience to pray together. then he says to the 2 men, 'do you believe in the power?'
'YES!' says ken
'Y-Y-YES,' says Robbie
now I want you to go behind that screen and do exactly what I say.' so ken and Robbie go behind the screen and the healer says, 'ken, if you truly believe, then throw out your crutches,' and, to everyone’s amazement, kens crutches come sailing over the top of the screen. Then the healer says, ‘now Robbie, if you truly believe, say something!’ and after a hushed silence, a voice rings out, ‘ke-e-ens f-f-f-fallen over.’
