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 woman, wanted him to reflect on his behavior 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.
Leroy
Leroy knew he could not send this letter to God either, so he wrote
another letter.
LETTER 4: Dear 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 red bike for my birthday.
Thank you, Leroy
Leroy knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get him a
bike.
By now, 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. Helooked
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 thestreet,
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: I GOT YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE RED BIKE. Signed,
YOU KNOW WHO
