The Twins, and How They Entertained the New Minister: A Farce

"The Twins, and How They Entertained the New Minister: A Farce" by Elizabeth F. Guptill is a funny play about young twins named Bobby and Betty who decide to amuse their new minister when he comes to visit. The story uses humor to highlight the difference between how kids and adults see the world, showing how the twins' simple and confused understanding of what grown-ups say and do leads to lots of funny moments for both the minister and the audience. The play follows the twins as they ask Rev. J. Jones about things like getting candy for visitors and what gambling means, mixing childlike wonder with innocent tricks to create laughter. The comedy comes from their made-up games and quirky observations about adults, which shows how children view the adult world, resulting in an enjoyable and funny story.
