A little boy who wanted $100 very badly prayed and prayed
for two weeks, but nothing happened. Then he decided to
write a letter to God requesting the $100.
When the postal authorities received the letter to "God,
USA," they 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 a $5 bill.
The president thought this would appear to be a lot of money
to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5, and immediately
sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read, "Dear
God, Thank you for sending me the money. However, I noticed
that for some reason you had to send it through Washington
D.C., and as usual, those greedy politicians deducted 95
percent."
