Little Barry

[shepster]

Little Barry 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 Barry was a bit of a troublemaker. He had gotten into
trouble... at school and at home.
Barry's mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike
for his birthday.

Little Barry, of course, thought he did.

Barry's mother, being a Christian woman, 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 Barry 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, Barry.
Barry knew this wasn't true. He had not been a very good boy
This year, so he tore up he letter and started over.

LETTER 2:

Dear God,
This is your friend Barry. I have been a pretty good boy this
year, and I would like a red bike for my birthday.
Thank you,
Barry.

Barry 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.
Your friend,
Barry.

Barry knew he could not send this letter to God either. Barry
was very upset. He went downstairs and told his mother he wanted
to go to church.
Barry's mother thought her plan had worked because Barry looked
very sad.

"Just be home in time for dinner," his mother said.

Barry 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.
Barry began to write his letter to God.

LETTER 4:

I'VE GOT YOUR MUM.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE F*CKING BIKE.
Signed
YOU KNOW WHO
