Little Leroy 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 Leroy was a bit of a troublemaker.
He had gotten into trouble at school and
at home. Leroy's mother asked him if he
thought he deserved to get a bike
for his birthday. Little Leroy, of course,
thought he did.
Leroy's mother, being a Christian Jane,
wanted him to reflect on his behaviour
over the last year and write a letter to
God and tell him why he deserved
a bike for his birthday. Little Leroy
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, Leroy
Leroy knew this wasn't true.
He had not been a very good boy this year,
so he tore up the letter and started over.
LETTER 2:
Dear God,
This is your friend Leroy.
I have been a pretty good boy this year,
and I would like a red bike for my birthday.
Thank you, Leroy
Leroy 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.
Little Leroy knew he could not send this
letter to God either ...
Leroy was very upset.
He went downstairs and told his
mother he wanted to go to church.
Leroy's mother thought her plan had
worked because Leroy looked very
sad. "Just be home in time for dinner,"
his mother said.
Leroy 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. Leroy began to
write his letter to God.
LETTER 4
I'VE GOT YOUR MOM.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN,
SEND THE BIKE.
Signed
YOU KNOW WHO!
