Hi Joynetters, U will love this one.. Love Ravi 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 trouble maker. 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 woman, wanted > Leroy to reflect on his behavior over the last year. "Go to your room, > Leroy, and think about how you have behaved this year. Then write a letter > to God and tell him why you deserve a bike for your 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 that this wasn't true. He had not been a 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 good boy this year and I would > like a red bike for my Birthday. > Thank you. > Your Friend, > Leroy > ------------------------------------------------ > Leroy knew that this wasn't true either. So he tore up the letter and > started again. > ------------------------------------------------ > Letter #3 > Dear God, > > I have been an "OK" boy this year. I still would really like a bike for my > Birthday. > > Leroy > > ---------------------------------------------- > Leroy knew he could not send this letter to God either. So, Leroy wrote a > fourth letter. > --------------------------------------------- > Letter #4 > God, I know I haven't been a good boy this year. I am very sorry. I will > be a good boy if you just send me a bike for my Birthday. > PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! > Thank you, > Leroy > ---------------------------------------------- > Leroy knew, even if it were true, this letter was not going to get him a > bike.

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 #5 > God, > I'VE GOT YOUR MAMA.
