A Faithful Woman vs. An Atheist
Once upon time in mBantul lived an elderly faithful lady,
Marsinah, who was well-known for her faith and for her confidence in talking
about it. She would stand in front of her house and say "God be
praised" to all those who passed by.
Next door to her lived an atheist, Nyono, who would get so
angry at her proclamations he would shout, "There ain't no Lord!!"
Hard times came upon Marsinah, for the last two months she
only ate nasi aking (dried rice) and she prayed for God to send her some
assistance. She would pray out loud in her night prayer "Oh God! I need
food!! I am having a hard time, please Lord, PLEASE LORD, SEND ME SOME
GROCERIES!!"
One night Nyono happened to hear her as she was praying, and
decided to play a prank on her. The next morning Marsinah went out on her porch
and found a large bag of groceries. She raised her hands and shouted, "God
be praised!."
Nyono jumped from behind a bush and said, "Aha!
I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries, God didn't."
The old Marsinah laughed and clapped her hands and said,
"GOD BE PRAISED. He not only sent me groceries, but he made the devil pay
for them!"
