Tale of Two Cities (Part 26)

A little boy wanted $50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the $50.

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, USA, they decided to forward it to the President of the United States as a joke.

The President was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy $30. The
President thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.

The little boy was delighted with the $30, and decided to write a thank you note to God, which reached the President and it read:

"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that you sent it through the White House in Washington, DC and those donkeys deducted $20.00 for taxes."
