A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing
happened. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00.
When the postal authorities received the letter to God, USA, they decided
to send it to the President. The President was so amused that he told his
secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill. The President thought that
would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill 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 sent it through Washington, DC., and they
deducted $95.00 in taxes.
