Prayers, God, Money, and the Government

A little boy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened.

Then he decided to write GOD a letter requesting the $100. When the Post Office received the letter addressed to GOD, they decided to send it to the Prime Minister.

The PM was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill. The PM thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank you note to GOD, which read:

'Dear GOD, thank you very much for sending the money, however, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington and, as usual, those bureaucrats took away
$95.00.'
