Welcome to the Tiny Bit of Heaven Motel in Bethlehem! (Actually it's a stable behind a small Inn which is run completely by animals.)

Annie Lamb, reporter for The Bethlehem Chronicle, is snooping around for clues regarding Caesar's Census. However, she - along with the others - is about to have a life-changing night. Major Moo runs a tip-top motel, accompanied by Miss Dovie (Front Desk Clerk), Ladybug Lacey (maid) and Cecil R. Caterpillar (bellhop). The Innkeeper is the only human that ever comes in among the animal visitors, but rumor has it he is bringing a human couple in to stay the night, and the animals are afraid these people will ruin everything!

But they all eventually learn that a certain "Stranger on the straw" came to earth to change the world, and that even people and things we don't understand can sometimes be miracles in disguise.

Performance time approximately 20 minutes, with familiar material woven into the original songs. By Mark Cabaniss and Ruth Elaine Schram, orchestrated by John DeVries.
