A Boy's $100
A little boy wanted $100 very badly; his mother told him to
pray to God for it. He prayed for two weeks but nothing turned up.
Then he decided perhaps he should write God a letter requesting
the $100. When the post office received the letter addressed to
God, they opened it and decided to send it to the President. The
President was so impressed, touched and amused that he instructed
his secretary to send the little boy $5. He thought this would
appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was
delighted with the $5 and sat down to write a thank-you letter,
which read as follows;
Dear God,
Thank you very much for sending me the money. I noticed that
you had to send it through Washington. As usual, those thieving
bastards deducted $95.
