Little Barry came into the kitchen where his mother was making
>>>dinner.
>>>his birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time to
>>>tell his mother what he wanted:
>>>"Mom, I want a bike for my birthday."
>>>
>>>Little Barry was a bit of a troublemaker. He had gotten into
>>>trouble
>>>at school and at home. Barry's mother asked him if he thought he
>>>deserved to get a bike for his birthday.
>>>
>>>Little Barry, of course, thought he did.
>>>Barry's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted him to
>reflect on his
>>>behavior over the last year, and write a letter to God, and
>tell him
>>>why he deserved a bike for his birthday.
>>>Little Barry stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to
>>>write
>>>
>>>God a letter.
>>>LETTER 1:
>>>Dear God,
>>>I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for
>>>my
>>>birthday. I want a red one. Your friend, Barry.
>>>
>>>Barry knew this wasn't true. He had not been a very good boy this
>>>year, he tore up the letter and started over.
>>>
>>>LETTER 2:
>>>Dear God,
>>>This is your friend Barry. I have been a pretty good boy this
>>>year,
>>>and I would like a red bike for my birthday. Thank you, Barry.
>>>
>>>Barry knew this wasn't true either. He tore up the letter
>and started
>>>again.
>>>
>>>LETTER 3:
>>>Dear God,
>>>I have been an OK boy this year and I would really like a red bike
>>>for my birthday. Your friend, Barry.
>>>
>>>Barry knew he could not send this letter to God either.
>>>Barry was very upset. He went downstairs and told his mother he
>>>wanted to go to church. Barry's mother thought her plan had worked
>>>because Barry looked very sad. "Just be home in time for
>dinner," his
>>>mother said.
>>>
>>>Barry walked down the street to the church and up to the altar. He
>>>looked around to see if anyone was there. He picked up a statue of
>>>the Virgin Mary.
>>>He slipped it under his shirt and ran out of the church, down the
>>>street, into his house, and up to his room. He shut the door to
>>>his
>>>room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen. Barry began to
>>>write his letter to God.
>>>
>>>LETTER 4:
>>>I'VE GOT YOUR MUM.
>>>
>>>IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE.
